VARIAÇÃO DOS CONSTITUINTES BIOQUÍMICOS SANGUÍNEOS DE TARTARUGAS-DA-AMAZÔNIA (Podocnemis expansa, Schweigger 1812) (TESTUDINATA) MANTIDAS EM CRIATÓRIO COMERCIAL
The aim of the present research was to
evaluate the biochemistry of blood constituents from
the South American River Turtle Podocnemis expansa,
Schweigger 1912. For this experiment, 46 animals
from Moenda do Lago Farm, a commercial farm from
São José dos Bandeirantes, Goiás State, Brazil, were
used, the blood being collected from the vertebral sinus,
trsnferred to vacuntainer tubes without anticoagulant,
spun down, the serum collected in eppendorfs and
storaged at 20C and the respective analysis carried
out by colorimetric techniques and fast glucose sensor
Precision Plus MedsenseÅ at the College of Veterinary
Medicine Latobatories at Federal University of
Uberlandia, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The mean values
found were as follows: Total proteins, 4.42 ± 0.55 g/dL,
albumin, 2.50 ±0.2 g/dL, globulins, 1.92 ± 0.35 mg/dL,
albumin/globulin ratio (A/G) 1.55 ±1.46, glucose, 122.9
± 35.2 mg/dL, urea, 61.13 ± 28.35 mg/dL, creatinine,
0.098 ± 0.021 mg/dL, uric acid, 2.08 ± 0.53 mg/dL,
cholesterol, 106.93 ± 21.03 mg/dL, total calcium,7.08
± 1.04 mg/dL, ionic calcium, 4.41 ± 0.60 mg/dL,
phosphorus, 5.21 ± 1.22 mg/dL, calcium/phosphorus
ratio, 1.58 mg/dL ± 0.66, iron, 390.35 ± 116,65 µg/dL,
magnesium, 1.59 ± 0.14, chlorides, 86.40 ± 7.63 mEq/
L, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) 194.56 ± 154.27
U/L, alanineaminotransferase (ALT) 4.04 ± 3.00 U/L,
alkaline phosphatase, 131.13 ± 59.96 U/L, ¡-
glutamiltransferase (GGT) 0.60 ± 0.84 U/L and
tryglicerides, 127.65 ± 100.86 mg/dL. In conclusion,
mean values of blood constituents of Podocnemis
expansa did not show great differences from other
chelonian species. The albumin/globulin ratio, and uric
acid and glucose values were inversely related to body
weight. Thus, the results of this research bring data on
South America River Turtle blood biochemistry raised in
captivity, although new research studies will be necessary
to establish the species reference values.O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar as
variações dos constituintes bioquímicos sanguíneos da
tartaruga Podocnemis expansa de um criatório
comercial. Para isto, foram colhidas, por venipuntura
do seio vertebral caudal, amostras de sangue de 46
animais mantidos em tanques na Fazenda Moenda do
Lago, distrito de São José dos Bandeirantes, município
de Nova Crixás GO. Após colhidas, as amostras de
sangue foram transferidas rapidamente para frascos
vacutainer® sem anticoagulante e levados à centrífuga
para obtenção do soro, logo após transferidos para
eppendorf e armazenados a 200C. O material foi
transportado para o laboratório da Faculdade de
Medicina Veterinária (FAMEV) da Universidade Federal
de Uberlândia (UFU) para o seu processamento. As
análises foram processadas colorimetricamente e em
sensor rápido de glicose (Precision Plus Medsense®),
os valores médios foram: proteínas totais 4,42±0,55 g/
dL, albumina 2,50±0,2 g/dL, globulinas 1,92±0,35 g/dL,
relação albumina/globulinas (A/G) 1,55±1,46, glicose
122,9±35,2 mg/dL, uréia 61,13±28,35 mg/dL, creatinina
0,098±0,021 mg/dL, ácido úrico 2,08±0,53 mg/dL, cálcio
total 7,08±1,04 mg/dL, cálcio ionizado 4,41±0,60 mg/
dL, colesterol 106,93±21,03 mg/dL, fósforo 5,21±1,22
mg/dL, relação cálcio/fósforo (Ca++/P) 1,58±0,66, ferro
390,35±116,65 ì g/dL, magnésio 1,59±0,14 mg/dL,
cloretos 86,40±7,63 mEq/L, aspartato aminotransferase
(AST) 194,56±154,27 U/L, alanino aminotransferase
(ALT) 4,04±3,00 U/L, fosfatase alcalina 131,13±59,96
U/L, gama glutamiltransferase (GGT) 0,60±0,84 U/L e
triglicérides 127,65±100,86 mg/dL. Conclui-se que os
valores apresentam grandes diferenças dos valores de
outras espécies de quelônios e que a relação
albumina:globulina, as concentrações plasmáticas de
ácido úrico e glicose são inversamente proporcionais
às massas corporais dos animais. A espécie estudada
apresenta escassos valores de bioquímica sanguínea
na literatura, desta maneira os dados que foram
apresentados auxiliam no estabelecimento de um
padrão de bioquímica sanguínea para Podocnemis
expansa criadas em cativeiro, mas também pode ser
base para novos estudos
Search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying into two photons in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV
A search for a Higgs boson decaying into two photons is described. The
analysis is performed using a dataset recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC
from pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, which corresponds to an
integrated luminosity of 4.8 inverse femtobarns. Limits are set on the cross
section of the standard model Higgs boson decaying to two photons. The expected
exclusion limit at 95% confidence level is between 1.4 and 2.4 times the
standard model cross section in the mass range between 110 and 150 GeV. The
analysis of the data excludes, at 95% confidence level, the standard model
Higgs boson decaying into two photons in the mass range 128 to 132 GeV. The
largest excess of events above the expected standard model background is
observed for a Higgs boson mass hypothesis of 124 GeV with a local significance
of 3.1 sigma. The global significance of observing an excess with a local
significance greater than 3.1 sigma anywhere in the search range 110-150 GeV is
estimated to be 1.8 sigma. More data are required to ascertain the origin of
this excess.Comment: Submitted to Physics Letters
Measurement of isolated photon production in pp and PbPb collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 2.76 TeV
Isolated photon production is measured in proton-proton and lead-lead
collisions at nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energies of 2.76 TeV in the
pseudorapidity range |eta|<1.44 and transverse energies ET between 20 and 80
GeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measured ET spectra are found to be
in good agreement with next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD predictions. The
ratio of PbPb to pp isolated photon ET-differential yields, scaled by the
number of incoherent nucleon-nucleon collisions, is consistent with unity for
all PbPb reaction centralities.Comment: Submitted to Physics Letters
