Importância da correlação do exame citológico com a captura híbrida II no diagnóstico de lesoes intraepiteliais cervicais relacionadas ao HPV1 / Correlation of hybrid II capture cytologic exam in diagnosis of cervical lesions related to HPV

PURPOSE: The aim of the present study was confront the results of the cytological examination with hybrid capture II in the diagnosis of induced cervical intraepithelial lesion-HPV, correlating the cytological findings with biomoleculares. METHODS: The research was carried through in a group of 160 sexually active women who had espontaneamente looked its gynecologists for consultation of routine, having been submitted to the collection of cervicovaginal material for cytology and for examination of hybrid capture II in the Centro de Patologia Clínica and the Hospital e Maternidade Promater, in the city of the Natal-RN. RESULTS: The results had shown to relatively high numbers of positive cases for HPV using hybrid capture II (41.87%) and the cytology (23.75%). The agreement between the two studied methods relatively was raised (59.38%). It was evident also that the viruses with high oncogênico potential had presented found in the compatible cytology with Lesion of low risk (11.88%), followed of Lesion of high risk (NIC II and III); already the viruses with low oncogênico potential were more associates the Lesion of low risk (6.25%), followed of Lesion of high risk. CONCLUSION: The cytology, exactly with its limitations, is an important method in the detention of attributable patologias to the HPV, emphasizing that the molecular method comes to complement it and to consolidate the cytological findings.

Variacao dos niveis do componente C3 do complemento em Holochilus brasiliensis nanus experimentalmente infectados com Schistosoma mansoni. / Changes in the component C3 levels in Holochilus brasiliensis nanus experimentally infected with Schistosoma mansoni

As variacoes dos niveis do componente C3 do complemento foram verificadas em soros de exemplares do roedor silvestre Holochilus brasiliensis nanus infectados experimentalmente com Schistosoma mansoni, aplicando-se a tecnica de imunoeletroforese bidimensional quantitativa. Foram utilizados soros de animais normais, da mesma especie e idade, como controle da experiencia. A quantificacao foi feita durante oito semanas, contadas a partir da data da infeccao. O perfil serico mostrou que o nivel inicial do C3 foi duas vezes menor que o observado no grupo controle. Este nivel permaneceu ate a 6a. semana de observacao. A partir desta semana ate a oitava foram registrados niveis aproximadamente 3 a 4 vezes menores que os observados no grupo controle
