The present study aimed to describe and characterize the cellular components during the evolution of chronic granulomatous inflammation in the teleost fish pacus (P. mesopotamicus) induced by Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), using S-100, iNOS and cytokeratin antibodies. 50 fish (120±5.0 g) were anesthetized and 45 inoculated with 20 μL (40 mg/mL) (2.0 x 10(6) CFU/mg) and five inoculated with sal...

A continuous haze event was recorded on November 14th∼17th, 2020 over Shijiazhuang. Two flights of King-air 350 meteorological research aircraft were performed 14th and 16th for the retrieval observations elements, aerosols, black carbon. In this study, we combined airborne data with air pollution (PM 2.5 ), ground data, ERA-5 reanalysis to describe vertical distribution aerosols (namely 0.1–3....

"Dye-coupling", whole-mount immunohistochemistry for gap junction channel protein connexin 35 (Cx35), and freeze-fracture replica immunogold labeling (FRIL) reveal an abundance of electrical synapses/gap junctions at glutamatergic mixed synapses in the 14th spinal segment that innervates the adult male gonopodium of Western Mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis (Mosquitofish). To study gap junctions' ...

PURPOSE To morphologically evaluate the estrogenic effect on the uterus and vagina of rats submitted to ovarian autografts. METHODS Twenty Wistar EPM-1 adult rats were bilaterally ovariectomized, followed by ovarian transplants in retroperitoneal regions. The animals were divided in four groups of five animals, according to the day of euthanasia: G4, G7, G14 and G21, corresponding to the 4th,...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of aroeira (Schinus terebinthifolius) ointment on skin wound healing in rats. METHODS Adult male rats (n=20) were divided into four groups of five animals each, as follows: G4, G7, G14 and G21, which corresponds to 4th, 7th, 14th and 21th days postoperatively. Each animal were made two incisions on the skin, including the subcutaneous tissue, in the right and l...
