Optimization of filtered neutron beams for the calibration of superheated dropl...

Superheated droplet detectors (SDDs) have been investigated for applications in neutron dosimetry and spectrometry. Varying the detector temperature, it is possible to change the neutron energy detection threshold of SDDs, thus allowing the use of a single detector to measure neutrons of different energy, without any change of the experimental setup. However, the neutron threshold energy versus temperature curv...

A method for multiple sequential analyses of macrophage functions using a small...

Microbial pathogens such as bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) induce the activation of macrophages. Activated macrophages can be characterized by the increased production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen metabolites, generated via NADPH oxidase and inducible nitric oxide synthase, respectively, and by the increased expression of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules (MHC II). Multiple microassays have...

Distribuicao espacial do tucunare, Cichla sp (Pisces, cichlidae), peixe amazoni...

O tucunare, uma especie exotica, introduzido da bacia Amazonica, tem sido observado no Pantanal desde 1982 no Rio Piquiri, na divisa dos estados de Mato Grosso e Mato Grosso do Sul. Entre novembro de 1992 e janeiro de 1994 foram realizadas 5 campanhas ao longo da bacia do rio Piquiri e no rio Sao Lourenco, acima e abaixo da sua juncao com o rio Piquiri. Exemplares de tucunare foram encontrados em lagos marginai...

Alimentacao do tucunare Cichla sp. (Pisces, cichlidae) um peixe introduzido no ...

Com o objetivo de estudar a alimentacao do tucunare (Cichla sp.) no Pantanal, foram realizadas cinco coletas entre novembro/1992 e junho/1994. Foram capturados 425 especimes, destes 207 apresentaram conteudo estomacal. Foram analisadas a Frequencia de Ocorrencia (FO), Volume Relativo (Vr) e "Indice Alimentar" (IA). Os peixes foram o principal item alimentar (FO=97,10%, Vr=96,45, IAi=99,81%), seguido de "restos ...

In vivo and in vitro effect of imipramine and fluoxetine on Na+,K+-ATPase activ...

The effects of in vivo chronic treatment and in vitro addition of imipramine, a tricyclic antidepressant, or fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, on the cortical membrane-bound Na+,K+-ATPase activity were studied. Adult Wistar rats received daily intraperitoneal injections of 10 mg/kg of imipramine or fluoxetine for 14 days. Twelve hours after the last injection rats were decapitated and synapt...

Descricao das larvas das principais especies de peixes utilizados pela pesca, n...

Elaborou-se uma chave ilustrada, baseando-se na comparacao de caracteristicas morfologicas e morfometricas dos estadios iniciais, quando as larvas ainda sao encontradas no plancton, a deriva no rio. A chave possui a descricao das cinco principais especies utilizadas economicamente no Pantanal: pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus), curimbata (Prochilodus lineatus), dourado (Salminus maxillosus), piavucu (Leporinus mac...

Cytotoxic activity of BCG-activated macrophages against L929 tumor cells is nit...

The tumoricidal activity of activated macrophages has been attributed largely to the release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), or to the production of reactive oxygen or nitrogen intermediates. The L929 tumor cell line (a murine fibroblast-like cell) when treated with actinomycin D (ActD) has been used to measure TNF<FONT FACE="Symbol">a</FONT> cytotoxicity. In the present study, we determined the cytotoxic activ...

Thioglycollate-elicited murine macrophages are cytotoxic to Mycoplasma arginini...

Macrophages are important components of natural immunity involved in inhibition of tumor growth and destruction of tumor cells. It is known that these cells can be activated for tumoricidal activity by lymphokines and bacterial products. We investigated whether YAC-1 tumor cells infected with Mycoplasma arginini stimulate nitric oxide (NO) release and macrophage cytotoxic activity. Thioglycollate-elicited macro...

Biologia do curimbata (Prochilodus lineatus), pintado (Pseudoplatystoma corrusc...

E analisada a biologia do curimbata (P. lineatus), do pintado (P. corruscans) e da cachara (P. fasciatum) na bacia hidrografia do rio Miranda. Estas especies realizam migracoes ascendentes para reproducao a partir de setembro-outubro. A desova, do tipo total, ocorre nos cursos superiores dos rios Miranda e Aquidauna, principalmente de dezembro a fevereiro. Apos a desova, retornam aos cursos inferiores, onde se ...
