RESUMO
Lysosome imaging without perturbing intracellular activity remains challenging, as the current commercial lysosome probes contain weakly basic amino groups that could perturb lysosome pH. Herein, we illustrate NIR-emitting dyes 2 and 3 (λem ≈ 700 nm) with very large Stokes' shifts (Δλ = 231-246 nm), attributing to the presence of a 2-hydroxyphenyl(benzo[d]oxazol) (HBO) unit that undergoes excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT). The structures of 2 and 3 also contain a hemicyanine unit with benzothiazolium and indolium as a terminal group, respectively. Although the fluorescent probe 2 (Φfl ≈ 0.28-0.35 in CH2Cl2) does not contain any basic amino functional group, it exhibits excellent selectivity for staining intracellular lysosomes, showing the potential for long-term in vivo lysosome imaging without "alkalinizing effect." However, probe 3 (Φfl ≈ 0.27, in CH2Cl2) exhibits excellent selectivity toward mitochondria. The observation showed that the terminal group in the hemicyanine unit played an essential role in guiding the intracellular selectivity to different organelles. In addition, the probes also displayed a transparent optical window between 520 and 590 nm, which is useful to achieve multicolor co-staining study, without fluorescence crosstalk that is a common problem on fluorescence microscopes.
RESUMO
O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar os efeitos da solução de Ringer com lactato (SRL) sobre os equilíbrios hidroeletrolítico e acidobase de equinos, ovelhas e bezerros hígidos. Equinos adultos (n=6), ovelhas adultas (n=6) e bezerros (n=5) receberam a SRL em volume correspondente a 10% do peso corporal, administrada por infusão contínua intravenosa durante quatro (ovelhas e bezerros) ou seis (equinos) horas. Amostras de sangue venoso e de urina foram colhidas antes do início da infusão, na metade do volume infundido, ao término da infusão e duas (ovelhas e bezerros) ou três (equinos) horas após. Foram determinados valores de pH sanguíneo e urinário, de pCO2, HCO3- e BE no sangue, de Na+, K+, Cl- e SID no soro, de AG, PPT, Atot e lactato L no plasma e das excreções fracionadas urinárias de Na+, K+, Cl- e lactato L. A SRL provocou hemodiluição e não afetou os equilíbrios eletrolítico e acidobase nas três espécies estudadas, não sendo capaz de promover aumento da reserva alcalina. Por outro lado, deve ser considerada segura para a terapia de manutenção com infusão de grandes volumes porque não provoca desequilíbrios eletrolíticos.
The effects of lactated Ringer's solution (LRS) on fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balances were investigated in healthy horses, ewes and calves. LRS was intravenously infused in six adult horses, six adult ewes and five calves in a volume corresponding to 10% of body weight, continously during four (ewes and calves) or six (horses) hours. Venous blood and urine samples were taken before the beginning, in the middle, at the end of the infusion and two (ewes and calves) or three (horses) hours after. Blood and urine pH, blood pCO2, HCO3- and BE, serum Na+, K+ and Cl-, and plasma TP and L lactate were measured. Na+, K+, Cl- and L lactate fractional clearance and plasma SID, AG, and Atot were calculated. In all species LRS caused hemodilution but didn't change electrolyte and acid-base balances. It was not able to increase alkali reserve. On the other hand, LRS must be considered safe for maintenance therapy with large volume infusions because it doesn't induce electrolyte imbalances.
