Efeito do probiótico na evolução da inflamação granulomatosa e hematologia de tilápias do Nilo, Oreochromis niloticus.
A atividade probiótica de um suplemento comercial composto de três microorganismos, (3x108 UFC), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (2x108 UFC) e Aspergillus oryzae (4x106 UFC), foi avaliada através da inclusão de níveis do suplemento na dieta alimentar de tilápias do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus).Organizado por: Sílvio Ricardo Maurano; AQUACIÊNCIA 2012

Reference Values For High-density Lipoprotein Particle Size And Volume By Dynamic Light Scattering In A Brazilian Population Sample And Their Relationships With Metabolic Parameters.
Current data indicate that the size of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) may be considered an important marker for cardiovascular disease risk. We established reference values of mean HDL size and volume in an asymptomatic representative Brazilian population sample (n=590) and their associations with metabolic parameters by gender. Size and volume were determined in HDL isolated from plasma by polyethyleneglycol precipitation of apoB-containing lipoproteins and measured using the dynamic light scattering (DLS) technique. Although the gender and age distributions agreed with other studies, the mean HDL size reference value was slightly lower than in some other populations. Both HDL size and volume were influenced by gender and varied according to age. HDL size was associated with age and HDL-C (total population); non- white ethnicity and CETP inversely (females); HDL-C and PLTP mass (males). On the other hand, HDL volume was determined only by HDL-C (total population and in both genders) and by PLTP mass (males). The reference values for mean HDL size and volume using the DLS technique were established in an asymptomatic and representative Brazilian population sample, as well as their related metabolic factors. HDL-C was a major determinant of HDL size and volume, which were differently modulated in females and in males.44263-7

Reatividade tuberculínica e resposta imunológica celular e humoral "in vitro" em doentes com tuberculose pulmonar Delayed-type skin reaction to tuberculin and the cellular and humoral immune response "in vitro" in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
Foi estudada a reatividade tuberculínica e a resposta imunológica celular e humoral "in vitro", em 50 doentes de ambos os sexos, de 20 a 80 anos de idade, com tuberculose pulmonar ativa, internados no Parque Hospitalar do Mandaqui da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde, São Paulo (Brasil), no período de maio a agosto de 1980. Para o estudo da reatividade tuberculínica foi utilizado o PPD, Rt-23, 2 UT, tendo havido 14,0% de não-reatores, 12,0% de reatores fracos e 74,0% de reatores fortes. O estudo da imunidade celular e humoral "in vitro" foi realizado pela quantificação de linfócitos T e B, transformação blástica de linfócitos, liberação do fator inibidor da migração de leucócitos (LIF) e reação de hemaglutinação passiva. Os resultados mostraram a validade do cálculo do número absoluto dos linfócitos T e B. A cultura de linfócitos e a técnica do LIF, foram capazes de detectar a sensibilização dos linfócitos ao PPD, mesmo nos doentes não reatores, e a reação de hemaglutinação passiva revelou a presença de anticorpos específicos na população estudada em títulos superiores aos encontrados em pessoas normais, independentemente da reatividade tuberculínica.<br>This paper presents the results of delayed-type skin reaction to tuberculin and the cellular and humoral immune responses "in vitro" in 50 patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis admitted to the "Parque Hospitalar do Mandaqui", São Paulo, Brazil, in the period from May to August 1980, matched for sex and ranging in age from 20 to 80 years old. In order to study the delayed-type skin reaction to tuberculin, the PPD, Rt-23, 2 TU (Purified protein derivative) was used and the result obtained was of 14.0% of nonreactors, 12.0% of weak reactors and 74.0% of strong reactors. The "in vitro" study of cellular and humoral immune responses was carried out by determining the number of T and B lymphocytes, the lymphocyte transformation, the liberation of the leucocyte inhibitor factor (LIF) and by the passive hemaglutination test. The results showed the importance of calculation of the absolute number of T and B lymphocytes. The culture of lymphocytes and the LIF experiment were able to detect the lymphocyte sensitivity to PPD even in the nonreactor patients and the passive hemaglutination test showed the presence of specific antibodies in the population studied demonstrated by the highest titers when compared with normal subjects, independently of the skin reactivity to tuberculin
