ABSTRACT

We describe a case report of a rare cancer affecting the kidney of 63 years of age patient who underwent imaging studies from ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, due to complaints: left back pain and urinary obstruction. Sonographic and radiological features of the mass found suggested the diagnosis of a malignant tumor of parenchymal origin. The pathological and immunohistochemical studies of the resected anatomical specimen, however, diagnosed a rare benign variant of solitary fibrous tumor originating in the inferior pole of the left kidney...


Descrevemos o relato de caso de uma rara neoplasia acometendo o rim de um paciente de 63 anos de idade que foi submetido a estudos de imagem por ultrassonografia, tomografia computadorizada e ressonância magnética nuclear devido às queixas apresentadas: dor lombar à esquerda e alterações miccionais sugestivas de obstrução infravesical. As características ultrassonográficas e radiológicas da massa encontrada sugeriam o diagnóstico de uma neoplasia maligna de origem parenquimatosa. O estudo anatomopatológico e imuno-histoquímico da peça anatômica ressecada, entretanto, concluiu o quadro como variante benigna do raro tumor fibroso solitário originário do polo inferior do rim esquerdo...

ABSTRACT

Ao lado do aumento da concentração de CO2, a deposição atmosférica de N é atualmente considerada um dos mais importantes fatores de alteração do funcionamento dos ecossistemas nativos, tendo já provocado drásticas mudanças na composição florística e na ciclagem de nutrientes no hemisfério norte. Entretanto, em sistemas tropicais e subtropicais, pouco se sabe sobre os efeitos do enriquecimento de N via deposição atmosférica, sobre o seu funcionamento. A compreensão da amplitude e da direção das respostas de orquídeas ao aumento da concentração de N disponível pode ajudar a alimentar modelos de dinâmica de populações rupícolas em resposta às mudanças globais. Avaliamos as respostas de floração e frutificação em plantas de Habenaria caldensis Kraenzl. (Orchidaceae), espécie de ampla distribuição em Minas Gerais, em consequência do aumento da disponibilidade de N por meio de fertilizações com nitrato de amônio, in situ, por aspersão. Em resposta à adição de N, a antese foi adiantada em cerca de 15 dias em relação aos indivíduos do grupo controle. Pelos resultados obtidos, o aumento da disponibilidade de N via deposição atmosférica pode afetar em curto prazo a ecologia de orquídeas e possivelmente outras plantas de campos rupestres alterando seus padrões fenológicos e alométricos. Em médio e longo prazos, tais modificações podem ter relevante impacto sobre a dinâmica de populações e comunidades desse tipo vegetacional.


Along with the increased concentration of CO2, the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen is currently considered one of the most important factors of change in the functioning of native ecosystems and has caused drastic changes in their floristic composition and nutrient cycling in the northern hemisphere. In tropical and subtropical systems, however, the largest holders of the plants diversity, little is known about the effects of the nitrogen enrichment via deposition on their performance. Understanding the magnitude and direction of the responses of the orchids to the increase of the concentration of available nitrogen might be helpful to modeling of rock outcrops population dynamics in response to global changes. We evaluated the responses of flowering and fruiting in plants of Habenaria caldensis Kraenzl. (Orchidaceae), a species widely distributed in Minas Gerais, as a result of increased nitrogen availability through fertilization with ammonium nitrate, in situ, by spraying. In response to the addition of N, anthesis occurred about 15 days earlier compared to individuals of the control group. The results of this study demonstrated that the increased availability of N via atmospheric deposition can affect in a short term the ecology of orchids and possibly other plants from rock outcrops by changing their phenological and allometric patterns. In a medium and long term, such changes can have an important impact on the dynamics of populations and communities of this vegetation type.

ABSTRACT

More than 95 percent short roots of most terrestrial plants are colonized by mycorrhizal fungi as soon as they emerge in the upper soil profiles. The establishment of mycorrhizal association involves profound morphological and physiological changes in root and fungus. It is affected by other rhizospheric microorganisms, specifically by the bacteria. Bacteria may have developed mechanisms of selective interaction with surrounding microorganisms, with neutral or positive effects on mycorrhizal associations, but negative effect on root pathogens in general. Because of the beneficial effect of bacteria on mycorrhizae, the concept of Mycorrhization Helper Bacteria (MHB) was created. Five main actions of MHB on mycorrhizae were proposed: in the receptivity of root to the mycobiont, in root-fungus recognition, in fungal growth, in the modification of rhizospheric soil and in the germination of fungal propagules. MHB appear to develop a gradation of specificity for the mycobiont, but little or no specificity for the host plant in symbiosis. One of the main groups of MHB is the fluorescent Pseudomonas, well represented in diversity and cell density studies of mycorrhizal associations. This review covers the activity of MHB in the establishment of ectomycorrhizae, taking as model the effects of Pseudomonas sp. described in scientific literature.
