13. Membrane Stress in the Human Labyrinth and Meniere Disease: A Model Analysis
Introduction The nature and extent of membrane damage encountered in Meniere disease remains unexplained. Pressure-induced membrane stress may underlie the characteristic hydropic distention. Analysis of stress in the several vestibular chambers may offer insight into the nature and progression of Meniere disease. Objective Membrane stress levels will be

14. Propentofylline reverses delayed remyelination in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Objective The diabetic state induced by streptozotocin injection is known to impair oligodendroglial remyelination in the rat brainstem following intracisternal injection with the gliotoxic agent ethidium bromide (EB). In such experimental model, propentofylline (PPF) recently showed to improve myelin repair, probably due to its neuroprotective, antiinflamm

15. Fouling behavior and performance of microfiltration membranes for whey treatment in steady and unsteady-state conditions
Whey pretreatment for protein purification is one of the main applications of cross-flow microfiltration before an ultrafiltration process. In this paper, the effects of the operating pressure and crossflow velocity on the membrane performance and the individual resistances in microfiltration of whey for both unsteady and steady-state conditions were investi

16. Membrane Stress Proclivities in the Mammalian Labyrinth
Introduction The membranes of the inferior division of the labyrinth in some mammals appear more vulnerable to hydropic distention than those of the superior division. This finding in guinea pigs, cats, and humans has been attributed to the evidently thinner membranes with implied higher stress levels. Objective The objective of this study is to identify

17. Efeito da carga dos lipídios na interação do BP100 em modelos de membrana / Charge effect of lipids in interaction of BP100 and model membranes
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been a promising alternative therapy to antibiotics. These molecules, consisting of less than 80 amino acids, with different structures and amino acids composition, have amphipathic character which gives them the ability to act on lipid bilayers. They act, by different mechanisms, over bacteria to mammal cells. The AMPs are

18. Pore blocking mechanism for the recovery of milk solids from dairy wastewater by ultrafiltration
This paper evaluates the pore blocking mechanism of two ultrafiltration membranes with different geometries (tubular and spiral wound) when dairy wash water is filtered. The work evaluated the effect of transmembrane pressure and the cross-flow velocity with a 3² experimental design using classical Hermia's models and the resistance-in-series model. The res

19. Enxerto sintético e biológico, com e sem preenchimento de veia jugular externa, no reparo de nervo periférico em ratos / Syntetic and biological graft, filled with the external jugular vein in the repair of peripheral nerve in rats
Despite the development of technology involved in peripheral nerve regeneration, there is no technique that presents a recovery of the nervous tissue with completely satisfactory results. This fact arouses interest of several researchers around the word. Although the autologous nerve grafting is the current gold standard for the repair of large nerve gaps, o

20. Avaliação da ativação leucocitária em recém- nascidos prematuros de mães com pré-eclampsia
Neutropenia is frequent in newborn infants of preeclamptic mothers.Information on leukocyte activation in those newborns is scarce, but IL-8 and GRO- are the main proinflammatory cytokines involved. The aim was to study IL-8 and GRO- plasma levels in preterm newborn infants of preeclamptic mothers. Methods: Newborn infants with gestational age <36 weeks and

21. Avaliação de parâmetros bioquímicos e comportamentais em peixe-zebra (Danio rerio) : uma abordagem sobre o sistema purinérgico, colinérgico e efeitos promovidos pela taurina no modelo de exposição aguda ao etanol
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a small teleost fish that belongs to the Cyprinidae family, which has been studied in different scientific areas. This species has evolutively conserved genes, several neurotransmitter systems characterized, and a wide behavioral repertoire, which may be modulated by distinct drugs. Thus, this thesis aims to study biochemical p

22. Estudo do desempenho do processo de microfiltração tangencial com membranas cerâmicas aplicado à retenção de bactérias e redução de sólidos suspensos de uma bebida à base de açaí / Performance study of the crossflow microfiltration process with ceramic membranes applied to the bacteria retention and suspended solids reduction of the beverage based on açai
In this doctoral research, the crossflow microfiltration process utilizing ceramic membranes was investigated aiming at the bacteria retention (Escherichia coli) and reduction of suspended solids of beverage based on açai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.). The selected commercial membranes of alfa-alumina (AL IND.2O IND.3) had nominal pore sizes of 0.8 and 1.2 müm

23. Solid polymer electrolytes based in sodium alginate. / Eletrólitos sólidos poliméricos a base de alginato de sódio
The aim of this study was the preparation and characterization of sodium alginate membranes plasticized with glycerol. The samples were obtained with different concentration of acetic acid or lithium perchlorate in order to use them as solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) in electrochemical devices, such as sensors and batteries. The films were characterized by

24. Pharmacology and toxicology of diphenyl diselenide in several biological models
The pharmacology of synthetic organoselenium compounds indicates that they can be used as antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors, neuroprotectors, anti-tumor and anti-infectious agents, and immunomodulators. In this review, we focus on the effects of diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) in various biological model organisms. DPDS possesses antioxidant activity, confirmed in
