Papillomas And Carcinomas Of The Choroid Plexus: Histological And Immunohistochemical Studies And Comparison With Normal Fetal Choroid Plexus

Background: Choroid plexus tumors are rare. Results on immunohistochemical features are scanty and controversial even regarding normal plexus. Method: Thirteen cases of choroid plexus tumors and five samples of normal fetal choroid plexus were submitted to immunohistochemical study using a panel of epithelial, neuronal and stromal markers. Results/Conclusions: Relevant histological findings were presence of clear cells in 3/5 papillomas (PP) and 7/8 carcinomas (CA) and all 5 fetal plexuses; rhabdoid cells, desmoplasia and vascular proliferation were found respectively in 3, 4 and 5 cases out of 6 poorly differentiated CA and were absent in PP and well differentiated CA. Pancytokeratin AE1/AE3 was strongly positive in all 13 cases, even in the undifferentiated component of poorly differentiated CA, where reactivity was focal in 3 and diffuse in 3 cases. Low molecular weight cytokeratin (35βH11) was not expressed in any of the 8 CA, but was present in all 5 PP. In 4 of 6 poorly differentiated CA there was reactivity for smooth muscle actin (1A4) in 10 to 30% of the cells. This was true also for one case lacking rhabdoid cells. Laminin was undetectable in all 6 cases of poorly differentiated CA but was present in 4 PP and 2 well differentiated CA. All 5 fetal plexuses expressed GFAP.623 A600607Pianetti, G., Fonseca, L.F., Tumores do plexo coróideo (1998) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 56, pp. 223-231Pencalet, P., Sainte-Rose, C., Lellouch-Tubiana, A., Papillomas and carcinomas of the choroid plexus in children (1998) J Neurosurg, 88, pp. 521-528Lynch, J.C., Moraes, G.P., Duarte, F., Xantogranuloma do plexo coróide (1988) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 46, pp. 191-194Aguiar, M.F.M., Cavalcanti, M., Barbosa, H., Vilela, S.L., Mendonça, J.L., Horta, E., Síndrome de Aicardi e papiloma do plexo coróide: Uma associação rara (1996) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 54, pp. 313-317Filho, P.G., Fonseca, L.F., Suva, M.C., Choroid plexus papilloma and Aicardi syndrome: Case report (2002) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 60, pp. 1008-1010Matsushima, T., Choroid plexus papillomas and human choroid plexus, a light and electron microscopic study (1983) J Neurosurg, 59, pp. 1054-1062Marrazzoni, D.R., Barbosa-Coutinho, L.M., Plexos coróides: Estudo histopatológico em diferentes faixas etärias (1986) Arq Neuropsiquiatr, 44, pp. 341-350Kasper, M., Goertchen, R., Stosiek, P., Perry, G., Karsten, U., Coexistence of cytokeratin, vimentin and neurofilament protein in human choroid plexus: An immunohistochemical study of intermediate filaments in neuroepithelial tissues (1986) Virchows Arch A, 410, pp. 173-177Miettinen, M., Clark, R., Virtanen, I., Intermediate filament proteins in choroid plexus and ependyma and their tumors (1986) Am J Pathol, 123, pp. 231-240Doglioni, C., Dell'Orto, P., Coggi, G., Iuzzolino, P., Bontempini, L., Viale, G., Choroid plexus tumors: An imunocytochemical study with particular reference to the coexpression of intermediate filament proteins (1987) Am J Pathol, 127, pp. 519-529Felix, I., Phudhichareonrat, S., Halliday, W.C., Becker, L.E., Choroid plexus tumors in children: Immunohistochemical and scanning-electron-microscopic features (1987) Pediat Neurosci, 13, pp. 263-269Gabrion, J., Peraldi, S., Faivre-Bauman, A., Characterization of ependymal cells in hypothalamic and choroidal primary cultures (1988) Neuroscience, 24, pp. 993-1007Kouno, M., Kumanishi, T., Washiyama, K., Sekiguchi, K., Saito, T., Tanaka, R., An immunohistochemical study of cytokeratin and glial fibrillary acidic protein in choroid plexus papilloma (1988) Acta Neuropathol (Berl), 75, pp. 317-320Cruz-Sanchez, F.F., Rossi, M.L., Hughes, J.T., Coakham, H.B., Figols, J., Eynaud, P.M., Choroid plexus papillomas: An immunohistological study of 16 cases (1989) Histopathology, 15, pp. 61-69Sarnat, H.B., Regional differentiation of the human fetal ependyma: Immunocytochemical markers (1992) J Neuropathol Exp Neurol, 51, pp. 58-75Rubinstein, L.J., Brucher, J.M., Focal ependymal differentiation in choroid plexus papillomas: An immunoperoxidase study (1981) Acta Neuropathol (Berl), 53, pp. 29-33Taratuto, A.L., Molina, H., Monges, J., Choroid plexus tumors in infancy and childhood: Focal ependymal differentiation.

Estabilidade da produção de variedades de mangueira em vertissolo irrigado no Submédio São Francisco.

O presente trabalho teve o o bjetivo de coletar os dados por dezoito ciclos, avaliando a produção, o peso médio de frutos por planta e o número de frutos por planta

Study of flowering of alternate bearing at mango varieties (Mangifera indica L.) in the São Francisco Valley, Brazil.

The evaluation of mango varieties has been done in Brazil but only for few cycles of production. Because of that nineteen mango varieties were evaluated for eighteen years in a vertissol under furrow irrigation in the Mandacaru Experimental Station of Juazeiro-BA

Análise das violações encontradas em alimentos nos programas nacionais de monitoramento de agrotóxicos.

Nos últimos anos o Brasil atingiu um grande destaque no cenário agrícola internacional, consolidando-se como um dos maiores produtores de commodities agrícolas como soja, milho, café, açúcar, entre outras. Como efeito do modelo agrícola adotado pela maioria dos produtores, visando aumento da produtividade e aumento da área cultivada, o Brasil também tornou-se um dos maiores consumidores de agrotóxicos do mundo (KUGLER, 2012), uma vez que este insumo é imprescindível neste modelo de agricultura. Com o aumento no consumo de agrotóxicos as preocupações com os resíduos destas substâncias em alimentos ganham evidência e tornam- se cada vez mais frequentes. No Brasil várias iniciativas têm sido implementadas com o intuito de garantir níveis seguros de resíduos de agrotóxicos para a população que consome alimentos provenientes de culturas tratadas com estas substâncias. Dentre estas iniciativas, têm sido executados programas de monitoramento de resíduos de agrotóxicos em alimentos com o objetivo de avaliar continuamente os níveis de resíduos nos produtos e, assim, garantir alimentos seguros à população. Esses programas de monitoramento podem ser estaduais ou de abrangência nacional, como é o caso do Programa de Análise de Resíduos de Agrotóxicos em Alimentos (PARA) da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa), e do Programa Nacional de Controle de Resíduos e Contaminantes (PNCRC) do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA). O presente trabalho analisa os resultados das avaliações desses programas e sugere ações estratégicas no sentido de garantir alimentos mais seguros à população.bitstream/item/84746/1/Doc-92.pd
