- Abstract
The herbicide Dormex
® , a solution of hydrogen cyanamide, is a growth regulator capable of breaking the dormancy of fruit plants, and is commonly applied in agriculture. However, the biological effects of this product on non-target organisms are unknown. The present study investigated the biological response of Astyanax lacustris (Lütken, 1875) specimens exposed to Dormex® using a chromosome aberration test, the mitotic index, and the histological analysis of the gills. Forty specimens of Astyanax lacustris were obtained from a local breeding facility and divided into 10 groups (nine experimental and one control) with four fish in each aquarium (group). The control group was maintained for 24 hours in dechlorinated water while the experimental groups were allocated to one of nine different treatments, with three concentrations of Dormex® , 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5 mL L-1, and exposure for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The fish exposed to Dormex® presented chromosomal aberrations of a number of types, including chromosomal breaks, acentric fragments, decondensation, and gaps at the three Dormex® concentrations, at all exposure times. The mitotic index decreased significantly in comparison with the control group. The histological preparations of the gills revealed alterations such as hyperplasia, and lamellar fusion and edema, whereas in the control group the structure of the gills was preserved. The cytogenetic analysis revealed the genotoxic potential of the herbicide Dormex® and the morphological alterations of the gills demonstrated the sensitivity of the fish, which responded rapidly to the stressor. These findings reinforce the need for special care and restrictions on the use of these herbicides in agricultural areas located near aquatic environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background: Deoxynivalenol (DON), a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp., is commonly found in cereals ingested by humans and animals. Its ingestion is correlated with hepatic, hematologic, renal, splenic, cardiac, gastrointestinal, and neural damages, according to dose, duration of exposure and species. In this work, the effects of the ingestion of DON‐contaminated diet at concentrations considered tolerable for human and animal intake were assessed. Methods: Male Wistar rats aging 21 days were allotted to five groups that were given, for 42 days, diets contaminated with different concentrations of DON (0, 0.2, 0.75, 1.75, and 2 mg kg−1 of chow). Food ingestion, bodyweight, oxidative status and morphometric analyses of gliocytes, and neurons of jejunal myenteric ganglia were recorded. Key Results: At these concentrations, there was no food rejection, decrease in bodyweight gain, changes in oxidative status, or loss of either neurons or gliocytes. However, DON decreased gliocyte area, general neuronal population, nitrergic, cholinergic and NADH‐diaphorase positive subpopulations and, as a result, ganglion area. Conclusions & Inferences: It was concluded that, even in the absence of visible effect, DON exposure reduces cell body area of gliocytes and neurons of the myenteric plexus of the rat jejunum.

- Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are gastrointestinal chronic inflammatory diseases characterized by chronic and recurrent intestinal ulcerations. Curcuminoids are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds with remarkable bioactivity; however, their low water affinity and bioavailability usually hinder their application. Encapsulation techniques can be coupled with extraction procedures to yield nanoparticles that may have enhanced properties. In this work, curcuminoids were extracted from rhizomes of Curcuma longaL. and simultaneously encapsulated using ultrasound. The characterization of the curcuminoids nanoparticles showed that particles ranging from 124 ± 81 to 252 ± 68 nm were formed, and the main properties of the curcuminoids were maintained after encapsulation. Experimental colitis was induced in rats by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid, and they were subsequently treated with 10, 25, or 50 mg kg-1 of nanoencapsulated curcuminoids for 7 days through gavage, during which the disease activity index (DAI) was evaluated. Then the rats were euthanized, and the distal colon was removed for macroscopic analysis and the assessment of the activity of the enzymes myeloperoxidase and N-acetylglucosaminidase. The dose of 25 mg kg-1 of nanoencapsulated curcuminoids reduced the DAI and the activity of inflammatory enzymes compared to the untreated group and was established as the minimum effective dose to be used in the treatment of this model of experimental colitis in rats.

This study evaluated the effects of the supplementation with aqueous extract of Agaricus blazei Murrill (ABM) on biometric and blood parameters and quantitative morphology of the myenteric plexus and jejunal wall in aging Wistar rats. The animals were euthanized at 7 (C7), 12 (C12 and CA12), and 23 months of age (C23 and CA23). The CA12 and CA23 groups received a daily dose of ABM extract (26 mg/animal) via gavage, beginning at 7 months of age. A reduction in food intake was observed with aging, with increases in the Lee index, retroperitoneal fat, intestinal length, and levels of total cholesterol and total proteins. Aging led to a reduction of the total wall thickness, mucosa tunic, villus height, crypt depth, and number of goblet cells. In the myenteric plexus, aging quantitatively decreased the population of HuC/D+ neuronal and S100+ glial cells, with maintenance of the nNOS+ nitrergic subpopulation and increase in the cell body area of these populations. Supplementation with the ABM extract preserved the myenteric plexus in old animals, in which no differences were detected in the density and cell body profile of neurons and glial cells in the CA12 and CA23 groups, compared with C7 group. The supplementation with the aqueous extract of ABM efficiently maintained myenteric plexus homeostasis, which positively influenced the physiology and prevented the death of the neurons and glial cells.

Orientadora: Prof.ª Dr.ª Ana Luiza de Brito Portela Castro Dissertação (mestrado em Ciências Biológicas) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá, 2017 RESUMO: O ecossistema aquático é quase sempre o destino final para resíduos urbanos, agrícolas e industriais, o que pode afetar a homeostase dos seres vivos que o habitam. O estreito contato dos peixes com o ambiente aquático propicia o movimento de agentes genotóxicos através de muco, pele, brânquias e outras camadas externas ou ainda atingir órgãos internos causando danos muitas vezes irreversíveis. A ação de agentes tóxicos podem também induzir efeitos genotóxicos por afetarem material genético, o que pode ser evidenciado através de aberrações cromossômicas, como quebras cromossômicas ou cromátidicas, perda de cromossomos inteiros ou por condensação de fragmentos cromossômicos (micronúcleos) e, além disso, causar diversos tipos de alterações morfológicas nucleares em eritrócitos. Portanto, o presente estudo visou verificar os efeitos da exposição ao agrotóxico Dormex® sobre os hepatócitos sobre eritrócitos de peixes da espécie Astyanax altiparanae. Neste estudo foram utilizados 65 exemplares de Astyanax altiparanae obtidos a partir de estabelecimentos de comércio de "iscas vivas" para pesca. As concentrações de Dormex® utilizadas foram de 0,05ml, 0,1ml e 0,5ml para 10 litros, com tempos de exposição de 24h, 48h e 72h para análise de eritrócitos e 24h e 48h para análise histológica. Para análise dos eritrócitos, a partir de sangue extraído da veia caudal, foram utilizados 40 animais sendo distribuídos quatro peixes/aquário contendo 10L de água e estabelecendo-se quatro grupos: 1 (controle, cujo aquário continha somente água de clorada e monitorado 24h); 2 (concentração 0,05ml/10L); 3 (concentração 0,1ml/10L) e 4 (concentração 0,5m/10L). Para cada concentração, os peixes foram expostos durante 24h, 48h e 72h. Para os estudos histológicos foram utilizados 25 animais expostos às mesmas concentrações com tempos de exposição de 24h e 48h para cada tratamento. Amostras de fígado foram retiradas após eutanásia dos animais e processadas conforme métodos histológicos rotineiros. Os dados histológicos foram avaliados quanto a sua normalidade pelos testes Komogorov-Smirnov e Shapiro-Wilk. Dados paramétricos foram submetidos ao teste One-way ANOVA e pós-teste de Tukey e para os dados não-paramétricos foi utilizado o teste Kruskal-Wallis e pós-teste de Dunn’s. A análise dos eritrócitos dos peixes revelou diferentes tipos de alterações morfológicas nucleares e ocorrência de micronúcleos quando expostos às diferentes concentrações de solução de Dormex®. Com relação à presença de micronúcleos, observou-se uma maior freqüência nos três tratamentos (0,05, 01 e 0,5 ml/10L) no período de exposição de 48h totalizando 7 células contendo um micronúcleo. Quanto às alterações morfológicas nucleares foram observados núcleos dos tipos notched, lobed, eightshaped e blebbed. Entretanto, observou-se uma freqüência diferenciada quanto ao tipo de alteração sendo notched e eightshaped as mais frequentes. Com relação aos dados histológicos, os peixes quando expostos à solução de Dormex® na concentração de 0,5ml/10L demonstraram redução na densidade de hepatócitos (p < 0,05) quando comparado aos demais grupos analisados, independente do tempo avaliado. Houve também aumento na área média celular e nuclear de hepatócitos (p < 0,05) nesta concentração ( (0,5ml/10L) e ocorreu um aumento da área nuclear na concentração de 0,05 (ml/L) em relação ao grupo controle. Os dados obtidos no presente estudo revelaram que a presença de agrotóxicos na água, até mesmo em baixas concentrações, como no caso dos tratamentos realizados com o agrotóxico Dormex®, pode causar danos aos tecidos dos peixes. As concentrações utilizadas correspondem às doses subletais permitindo a sobrevivência do animal nos aquários durante o período do experimento, porém quando diluídas em 10 litros de água resultou em uma concentração bem baixa. Contudo, devemos ressaltar que no ambiente a concentração de herbicidas, fluindo para as águas de rios, riachos e/ou córregos próximos aos locais de pulverização das plantações pode ser maior na época da aplicação dos mesmos. No presente estudo os peixes submetidos às diferentes concentrações e tempos da solução de Dormex®, resultaram no total de 63 alterações (presença de micronúcleos e alterações morfológicas nucleares) sugerindo assim sua genotoxicidade. Os danos causados aos peixes foram confirmados pelas alterações na densidade e morfologia dos hepatócitos demonstrando os efeitos negativos do uso indiscriminado destes agrotóxicos ABSTRACT: The aquatic ecosystem is almost always the final destination for urban, agricultural and industrial waste, which can affect the homeostasis of the living beings that inhabit it. The close contact of the fish with the aquatic environment facilitates the movement of genotoxic agents through mucus, skin, gills and other external layers, or to reach internal organs, causing damage that is often irreversible. The action of toxic agents can also induce genotoxic effects by affecting genetic material, which can be evidenced by chromosomal aberrations, such as chromosomal or chromatic breaks, loss of whole chromosomes or by condensation of chromosomal fragments (micronuclei) and, in addition, cause different types of nuclear morphological changes in erythrocytes. Therefore, the present study aimed to verify the effects on liver cells and erythrocytes of of fish of the species Astyanax altiparanae when exposure to the Dormex® pesticide by means of histological analyses and erythrocytes through the micronucleus test together with analysis of nuclear morphological changes. In this study, 65 specimens of Astyanax altiparanae were obtained from commercial establishments of "live bait" for fishing. The Dormex® concentrations used were 0.05ml/10L, 0.1ml/10L and 0.5ml/10L, with exposure times of 24h, 48h and 72h for erythrocyte analysis and 24h and 48h for histological analysis. For the analysis of the erythrocytes, from the blood drawn from the caudal vein, 40 animals were used and four fish/aquarium were distributed containing 10L of water and four groups were established: 1 (control, whose aquarium contained only unchlorinated water and monitored 24h); 2 (concentration 0.05ml /10L); 3 (concentration 0.1ml/10L) and 4 (concentration 0.5ml/10L). For each concentration, the fish were exposed for 24h, 48h and 72h. For the histological studies, 25 animals exposed to the same concentrations, with exposure times of 24h and 48h were used for each treatment. Liver samples were removed after euthanasia of the animals and processed according to routine histological methods. Histological data were evaluated for their normality by the Komogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests. Parametric data were submitted to the One-way ANOVA and Tukey post-test, and for the non-parametric data the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's post-test were used. Analysis of fish erythrocytes revealed different types of nuclear morphological changes and occurrence of micronuclei when exposed to different concentrations of Dormex® solution. With respect to the presence of micronuclei, a higher frequency was observed in the three treatments (0.05, 01 and 0.5 ml / 10L) in the exposure period of 48h totaling 7 cells containing a micronucleus. As for the nuclear morphological changes were observed nuclei of the types notched, lobed, eightshaped and blebbed. However, a distinct frequency was observed as to the type of alteration being notched and eightshaped the most frequent. Regarding the histological data, the fish when exposed to the solution of Dormex® in the concentration of 0.5 ml/10L demonstrated a reduction in hepatocyte density (p
