Anatomia microscópica e ultraestrutura do joelho da paca (Cuniculus paca Linnaeus, 1766)

Pesqui. vet. bras; 37 (9), 2017
A paca (Cuniculus paca), um dos maiores roedores da fauna brasileira, possui características inerentes à sua espécie que podem contribuir como uma nova opção de animal experimental; assim, considerando-se que há crescente busca por modelos experimentais apropriados para ortopedia e pesquisas cirúr...

Biosynthesized silver nanoparticles: are they effective antimicrobials?

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 112 (8), 2017
BACKGROUND Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly being used in medical applications. Therefore, cost effective and green methods for generating AgNPs are required. OBJECTIVES This study aimed towards the biosynthesis, characterisation, and determination of antimicrobial activity of AgNPs produ...

Immunohistochemical, lectin histochemical and ultrastructural studies of canine transmissible venereal tumor in Brazil

Pesqui. vet. bras; 37 (6), 2017
Canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT) is a naturally occurring contagious round-cell neoplasia, with poorly understood origin and transmission. This study aims to further investigate the tumor nature through immunohistochemistry, lectin histochemistry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analy...

Morphological study of the eye bulb of the hammerhead shark, Sphyrna lewini (Elasmobranch: Carcharhinidae)

Int. j. morphol; 35 (1), 2017
The hammerhead sharks shows a head laterally expanded with eyes and nostrils on the edges, which gives the species a hammer appearance. Another strand of studies indicates that the hypothesis of head shape alterations for better adaptions in the sensorial system with the development of structures associa...

Aspectos morfológicos e ultraestruturais de células sanguíneas de Crotalus durissus terrificus

Pesqui. vet. bras; 37 (2), 2017
A avaliação hematológica, de importância comprovada como um meio auxiliar de diagnóstico ao clínico de pequenos animais domésticos, vem se tornando comum em animais selvagens não apenas para a clínica, mas para a avaliação do manejo e como estudo auxiliar para a fisiologia das várias espécie...

Macromolecular confinement of therapeutic protein in polymeric particles for controlled release: insulin as a case study

ABSTRACT Sustained release systems for therapeutic proteins have been widely studied targeting to improve the action of these drugs. Molecular entrapping of proteins is particularly challenging due to their conformational instability. We have developed a micro-structured poly-epsilon-caprolactone (PCL) p...

Development of the central nervous system in guinea pig (Cavia porcellus, Rodentia, Caviidae)

Pesqui. vet. bras; 36 (8), 2016
This study describes the development of the central nervous system in guinea pigs from 12th day post conception (dpc) until birth. Totally, 41 embryos and fetuses were analyzed macroscopically and by means of light and electron microscopy. The neural tube closure was observed at day 14 and the developmen...

The objective of this report is to describe a case of granular cell tumor of the anal border and to review the most relevant topics of the literature on the subject. Ours is a female patient, 57 years old, with an asymptomatic nodule in the anal border for 2 years. Surgical excision was performed, with a...

Wettability and morphology of the leaf surface in cashew tree from the Amazon, Northern Brazil

Acta sci., Biol. sci; 38 (2), 2016
Leaves surfaces, which represent an interface with plants and the environment, have several structures with specific functions. Some foliar properties, including wettability and mechanical containment, are inferred in terms of cellular adaptation and the presence or absence of cuticular wax. Various morp...
