Contaminação de água subterrânea por substâncias de limpeza da neve em estradas...
Carvalho, A.; Espinha Marques, J.; Marques, J.M.; Carreira, P.M.; Moura, R.; Guerner Dias, A.; Chaminé, H.I.; Rocha, F.; Saraiva, R.; Tavares, M.Num momento em que a gestão sustentável dos recursos hídricos se assume como uma das maiores preocupações à escala mundial, as regiões de montanha têm vindo a ser reconhecidas como Reservatórios de Água (PROGRAMA UNESCO IHP-VI). O facto de muitas destas áreas se localizarem a altitudes elevadas e serem recortadas por rodovias obriga a frequentes operações de limpeza de neve, especialmente no inverno. A aplicaçã...
Rats with high left ventricular end-diastolic pressure can be identified by Dop...
Saraiva,R.M.; Kanashiro-Takeuchi,R.M.; Antonio,E.L.; Campos,O.; Tucci,P.J.F.; Moisés,V.A.The severity of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in rats with myocardial infarction (MI) varies widely. Because homogeneity in baseline parameters is essential for experimental investigations, a study was conducted to establish whether Doppler echocardiography (DE) could accurately identify animals with high LV end-diastolic pressure as a marker of LV dysfunction soon after MI. Direct measurements of LV end-di...
Incidence of heart failure in infarcted rats that die spontaneously
Flumignan,R.L.G.; Kanashiro,R.M.; Saraiva,R.M.; Portes,L.A.; Antonio,E.L.; Ishigai,M.M.S.; Tucci,P.J.F.The present study reports for the first time the incidence of congestive heart failure (CHF) in previously infarcted rats that died spontaneously. Previously, pulmonary (PWC) and hepatic (HWC) water contents were determined in normal rats: 14 control animals were evaluated immediately after sacrifice, 8 placed in a refrigerator for 24 h, and 10 left at room temperature for 24 h. In the infarcted group, 9 rats d...
A routine electrocardiogram cannot be used to determine the size of myocardial ...
Bonilha,A.M.M.; Saraiva,R.M.; Kanashiro,R.M.; Portes,L.A.; Antonio,E.L.; Tucci,P.J.F.Nine lead electrocardiograms of non-infarcted (N = 61) and infarcted (N = 71) female Wistar rats (200-250 g) were analyzed in order to distinguish left ventricle myocardial infarction (MI) larger than 40% (LMI) from MI smaller than 40% (SMI). MI larger than 40% clearly caused a deviation of ÂQRS and ÂT from normal values of 270-360 degrees to 90-270 degrees. Infarcted rats showed Q wave in D1 larger than 1 mm w...
Impaired beta-adrenergic response and decreased L-type calcium current of hyper...
Saraiva,R.M.; Chedid,N.G.B.; Quintero H.,C.C.; Díaz G.,L.E.; Masuda,M.O.Infarct-induced heart failure is usually associated with cardiac hypertrophy and decreased ß-adrenergic responsiveness. However, conflicting results have been reported concerning the density of L-type calcium current (I Ca(L)), and the mechanisms underlying the decreased ß-adrenergic inotropic response. We determined I Ca(L) density, cytoplasmic calcium ([Ca2+]i) transients, and the effects of ß-adrenergic stim...
Outward potassium current oscillations in macrophage polykaryons: extracellular...
Saraiva,R.M.; Masuda,M.O.; Oliveira-Castro,G.M.Outward current oscillations associated with transient membrane hyperpolarizations were induced in murine macrophage polykaryons by membrane depolarization in the absence of external Na+. Oscillations corresponded to a cyclic activation of Ca2+-dependent K+ currents (IKCa) probably correlated with variations in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. Addition of external Na+ (8 mM) immediately abolished the outward c...
