ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the acute inflammatory response induced by carrageenin in the swim bladder of Nile tilapia supplemented with the mixture of natural extracts of propolis and Aloe barbadensis (1:1) at a concentration of 0.5%, 1% and 2% in diet during 15 days. Thirty-six fish were distributed into four treatments with three replicates: fish supplemented with 0.5% of admix of extracts of propolis and Aloe (1:1) injected with 500 µg carrageenin; fish supplemented with 1% of admix of extracts of propolis and Aloe (1:1) injected with 500 µg carrageenin; fish supplemented with 2% of admix of extracts of propolis and Aloe (1:1), injected with 500 µg carrageenin and unsupplemented fish injected with 500 µg carrageenin. Six hours after injection, samples of blood and exudate from the swim bladder of fish were collected. It was observed an increase in the leukocyte count in the swim bladder exudate of fish supplemented with extracts of propolis and Aloe injected with carrageenin. The most frequent cells were macrophages followed by granular leukocytes, thrombocytes and lymphocytes. Supplementation with propolis and Aloe to 0.5% caused a significant increase in the number of cells on the inflammatory focus mainly macrophages, cells responsible for the phagocytic activity in tissues, agent of innate fish immune response.


Este estudo avaliou a resposta inflamatória aguda induzida por carragenina na bexiga natatóriade tilápia do Nilo suplementada com a mistura dos extratos naturais de própolis e Aloe barbadensis (1:1), nas concentrações de 0,5%, 1% e 2% na dieta durante o período de 15 dias. Trinta e seis peixes foram distribuídos em quatro tratamentos com três repetições: peixes suplementados com 0,5% da mistura dos extratos de própolis e Aloe (1:1) injetados na bexiga natatória com 500 µg de carragenina; peixes suplementados com 1% da mistura dos extratos de própolis e Aloe (1:1) injetados na bexiga natatória com 500 µg de carragenina; peixes suplementados com 2% da mistura dos extratos de própolis e Aloe (1:1) injetados na bexiga natatória com 500 µg de carragenina e peixes não suplementados injetados na bexiga natatória com 500 µg de carragenina. Seis horas após as injeções foram coletadas amostras de sangue e exsudato da bexiga natatória dos peixes. Foi observado aumento na contagem de leucócitos no exsudato da bexiga natatória de peixes suplementados com os extratos de própolis e Aloe injetados com carragenina. As células mais frequentes foram os macrófagos seguidos pelos leucócitos granulares, trombócitos e linfócitos. A suplementação com própolis e Aloe a 0,5% provocou aumento significativo no número de células no foco inflamatório, principalmente dos macrófagos, células responsáveis pela atividade fagocitária nos tecidos, agente da resposta imune inata nos peixes.

ABSTRACT

Chemical cystitis due to intravesical instillation of gentian violet or crystal violet is rare and all of the reported cases have been in adults using undiluted solution, which resulted in long-term sequelae. This is a case report on a 16-month-old boy with hemorrhagic cystitis after the instillation of diluted gentian violet into the bladder to rule out bladder injury during inguinal herniorrhaphy. Although he was completely recovered with conservative therapy, gentian violet, even when diluted, should not be used on the urinary tract.

ABSTRACT

Se describe el caso de una niña de 14 años que a la edad de 7 años consultó por debilidad muscular de grupos proximales y compromiso cutáneo característico de dermatomiositis, confirmada con concentraciones altas de creatinfosfokinasa sérica y alteraciones características en la electromiografía y biopsia muscular. Debido a falta de respuesta a dosis altas de prednisona se le dio ciclofosfamida oral 0,8 mg.kg.día (25 mg.m*), que debió suspenderse a las dieciséis semanas por cistitis hemorrágica, cambiándose el tratamiento a azatioprina por 2 años, después de lo cual hubo remisión completa de la enfermedad. Fue estudiada a los 13 años por hematuria microscópica persistente, demostrándose cistitis crónica mediante cistoscopía y biopsia vesical. Se destaca la presencia de esta complicación con dosis y tiempo total de tratamiento menores a los descritos en la literatura
