5. RELIABILITY OF PHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENTS IN THE ZEISS FUNDUS CAMERA

Abstract

The authors test the hypothesis of systematic errors in photometric and/or densitometric measurements performed by Fundus camera equipment. By means of 2 different methods (reflection and transmission) the non-uniformity of light-distribution on sample surfaces placed in front of the fundus camera is shown. The consequent point by point variability in retinal illumination can be defined as the 'retinal shading problem'. This conclusion must be taken into account when equidensitometric measurements are carried out on eye fundus images with fundus camera, by photographic, cinematographic or TV techniques.

Abstract

Heavy metals are able to interfere with the function of vital cellular components. Besides in trace heavy metals, which are essential at low concentration for humans, there are heavy metals with a well-known toxic and oncogenic potential. In this study, for the first time in literature, we report the unique adulthood case of an atypical primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the abdominal wall, diagnosed by histology and immunohistochemistry, with the molecular hybridization support. The neoplasia occurred in a patient chronically exposed to a transdermal delivery of heavy metal salts (aluminum and bismuth), whose intracellular bioaccumulation has been revealed by elemental microanalysis.

Abstract

bullets” capable of hitting with extraordinary accuracy targets located in some organ or tissue and treat their pathologies. A novel field of research, another nano, had been opened: “nanomedicine”. An attempt was made with iron-oxide particles. Once they had been driven to their target, in that case a cancerous tissue, they were heated up by a strong magnetic field at a temperature high enough to kill the diseased cells. Having not been reached by the particles, the healthy tissue remained undamaged. And iron-oxide particles can also be used for imaging purpose with excellent technical results. The problem is that those particles are not degradable by our organism which has no ways to get rid of them. And unfortunately, at least for the time being, no artificial technique exists for that purpose. So the question is: what is the fate of those materials, undoubtedly foreign bodies, in the long run? Impossible not to expect a reaction by the host tissue, and the obvious reaction is an inflammatory one. Marginally, we are not even completely sure that all the particles injected hit the target and that a few of them are not dispersed elsewhere.

Abstract

A variety of consumer products containing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are currently marketed. However, their safety for humans and for the environment has not yet been established and no standard method to assess their toxicity is currently available. The objective of this work was to develop an effective method to test Ag NP toxicity and to evaluate the effects of ion release and Ag NP size on a vertebrate model. To this aim, the zebrafish animal model was exposed to a solution of commercial nanosilver. While the exposure of embryos still surrounded by the chorion did not allow a definite estimation of the toxic effects exerted by the compound, the exposure for 48 h of 3-day-old zebrafish hatched embryos afforded a reliable evaluation of the effects of Ag NPs. The effects of the exposure were detected especially at molecular level; in fact, some selected genes expressed differentially after the exposure. The Ag NP toxic performance was due to the combined effect of Ag(+) ion release and Ag NP size. However, the effect of NP size was particularly detectable at the lowest concentration of nanosilver tested (0.01 mg l(-1)) and depended on the solubilization media. The results obtained indicate that in vivo toxicity studies of nanosilver should be performed with ad hoc methods (in this case using hatched embryos) that might be different depending on the type of nanosilver. Moreover, the addition of this compound to commercial products should take into consideration the Ag NP solubilization media.

Abstract

Nanoparticles (NPs) contained in commercial products are released and enter into the aquatic ecosystem, posing serious possible risks to the environment and affecting the food chain. Therefore, investigating the potential toxicity of NPs on aquatic organisms has become an important issue. This study assessed the toxicity and trophic transfer of metal oxide NPs from marine microalgae (Cricosphaera elongata) to the larvae of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus. Larvae (24 h old) were fed on 2000 cell mL−1 48 h of microalgae contaminated with 5 mg L−1 of several metal oxide NPs (SiO2, SnO2, CeO2, Fe3O4) for 15 days. Larval viability and development were monitored from the 4-arm stage to the 8-arm pluteus stage. A significant decrease in survival was observed in larvae fed with microalgae exposed to SiO2 and CeO2 NPs. Abnormal development, characterised by skeletal degeneration and altered rudiment growth, was observed in all larvae fed with contaminated NP algae. Our findings revealed that SiO2 and CeO2 NPs exerted a toxic effect in the trophic interaction analysed, by reducing sea urchin larval viability, and all metal oxide NPs induced toxicological effects. In conclusion, metal oxide NPs may enter the food chain and become bioavailable for marine organisms, affecting their development.
