- Kallikrein 1 is overexpressed by astrocytes in the hippocampus of patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, associated with hippocampal sclerosis(2011) SIMOES, Priscila Santos Rodrigues; PEROSA, Sandra Regina; ARGANARAZ, Gustavo Adolfo; YACUBIAN, Elza Marcia; CARRETE JR., Henrique; CENTENO, Ricardo Silva; VARELLA, Pedro Paulo Vasconcellos; SANTIAGO, Joselita Ferreira Carvalho; CANZIAN, Mauro; SILVA JR., Jose Antonio; MORTARA, Renato Arruda; AMADO, Debora; CAVALHEIRO, Esper Abrao; MAZZACORATTI, Maria da Graca NaffahKallikrein 1 (hK1) is a tissue enzyme responsible for kinin release in inflammatory cascade. This study was delineated to study the distribution and the co-localization of hK1 and kinin B1 and B2 receptors with glial and/or neuronal proteins markers, in the hippocampus of patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, associated with hippocampal sclerosis (TLE-HS), comparing with control tissues. Hippocampal levels of KLK1 mRNA were also measured. hK1, kinin B1 and B2 receptors, NeuN and GFAP were analyzed using immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy and KLK1 mRNA was quantified with real time PCR. Increased expression of hK1 by astrocytes co-localized with GFAP was found, contrasting with kinin B1 and B2 receptors, which were co-localized with NeuN in the sclerotic hippocampus. In addition, KLK1 mRNA was also up-regulated in same tissues. These data suggest an overexpression of kallikrein-kinin system and a neuron-glia interaction in the inflammatory process present in refractory TLE-HS.
- Hemangioma of the Rib(2011) ABRAO, Fernando Conrado; TAMAGNO, Mauro; CANZIAN, Mauro; FERNANDEZ, Angelo; BIBAS, Jacques; FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel Pego; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliAn asymptomatic 48-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a tumor of the rib incidentally diagnosed on a chest roentgenogram. The patient was investigated and underwent tumor resection of the chest wall. The pathologic study revealed that it was cavernous hemangioma. This tumor of the bone is a distinctly uncommon benign vascular tumor, generally occurring in the spine or skull. Hemangiomas involving the rib are even more rare, with only 22 cases described in the literature. However, we suggest that this tumor of the rib should be considered in the differential diagnosis, principally in asymptomatic patients.

- 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography as a noninvasive method for the diagnosis of primary pulmonary artery sarcoma(2011) DIAS, Olivia Meira; LOMBARDI, Elisa Maria Siqueira; CANZIAN, Mauro; SOARES JUNIOR, Jose; VIEIRA, Lucas de Oliveira; TERRA FILHO, MarioPulmonary artery sarcomas are rare, difficult-to-diagnose tumors that frequently mimic chronic pulmonary thromboembolism. We report the cases of two female patients with clinical signs of dyspnea and lung masses associated with pulmonary artery filling defects on chest CT angiography. We performed 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, which revealed increased radiotracer uptake in those lesions. Pulmonary artery sarcoma was subsequently confirmed by anatomopathological examination. We emphasize the importance of this type of tomography as a noninvasive method for the diagnosis of these tumors.
- Pleurodesis Induction in Rats by Copaiba (Copaifera multijuga Hayne) Oil(2014) WESTPHAL, Fernando Luiz; CANZIAN, Mauro; PIERI, Fabio Alessandro; REICHL, Alfredo Coimbra; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; LIMA, Luis Carlos; VEIGA-JUNIOR, Valdir F.This study aims to assess and compare copaiba oleoresin of Copaifera multijuga and 0.5% silver nitrate for the induction of pleurodesis in an experimental model. Ninety-six male Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control (0.9% saline solution), copaiba (copaiba oil), and silver nitrate (0.5% silver nitrate). The substances were injected into the right pleural cavity and the alterations were observed macroscopically and microscopically at 24, 48, 72, and 504 h. The value of macroscopic alterations grade and acute inflammatory reaction grade means was higher in the 24 h copaiba group in relation to silver nitrate. Fibrosis and neovascularization means in the visceral pleura were higher in 504h copaiba group in relation to the silver nitrate group. The grade of the alveolar edema mean was higher in the silver nitrate group in relation to the copaiba group, in which this alteration was not observed. The presence of bronchopneumonia was higher in the 24 h silver nitrate group (n = 4) in relation to the copaiba group (n = 0). In conclusion, both groups promoted pleurodesis, with better results in copaiba group and the silver nitrate group presented greater aggression to the pulmonary parenchyma.
- Comparação de dois modelos experimentais de hipertensão pulmonar(2012) POLONIO, Igor Bastos; ACENCIO, Milena Marques Pagliarelli; PAZETTI, Rogerio; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria de; CANZIAN, Mauro; SILVA, Barbara Soares da; PEREIRA, Karina Aparecida Bonifacio; SOUZA, Rogerio deObjective: To compare two models of pulmonary hypertension (monocrotaline and monocrotaline+pneumonectomy) regarding hemodynamic severity, structure of pulmonary arteries, inflammatory markers (IL-1 and PDGF), and 45-day survival. Methods: We used 80 Sprague-Dawley rats in two study protocols: structural analysis; and survival analysis. The rats were divided into four groups: control; monocrotaline (M), pneumonectomy (P), and monocrotaline+pneumonectomy (M+P). In the structural analysis protocol, 40 rats (10/group) were catheterized for the determination of hemodynamic variables, followed by euthanasia for the removal of heart and lung tissue. The right ventricle (RV) was dissected from the interventricular septum (IS), and the ratio between RV weight and the weight of the left ventricle (LV) plus IS (RV/LV+IS) was taken as the index of RV hypertrophy. In lung tissues, we performed histological analyses, as well as using ELISA to determine IL-1 and PDGF levels. In the survival protocol, 40 animals (10/group) were followed for 45 days. Results: The M and M+P rats developed pulmonary hypertension, whereas the control and P rats did not. The RV/LV+IS ratio was significantly higher in M+P rats than in M rats, as well as being significantly higher in M and M+P rats than in control and P rats. There were no significant differences between the M and M+P rats regarding the area of the medial layer of the pulmonary arteries; IL-1 and PDGF levels; or survival. Conclusions: On the basis of our results, we cannot conclude that the monocrotaline+pneumonectomy model is superior to the monocrotaline model.
- Alternative solution for ex vivo lung perfusion, experimental study on donated human lungs non-accepted for transplantation(2015) FERNANDES, Lucas Matos; MARIANI, Alessandro Wasum; MEDEIROS, Israel Lopes de; SAMANO, Marcos Naoyuki; ABDALLA, Luís Gustavo; CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; NEPOMUCENO, Natália Aparecida; CANZIAN, Mauro; PêGO-FERNANDES, Paulo ManuelPURPOSE: To evaluate a new perfusate solution to be used for ex vivo lung perfusion. METHODS: Randomized experimental study using lungs from rejected brain-dead donors harvested and submitted to 1 hour of ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) using mainstream solution or the alternative. RESULTS: From 16 lungs blocs tested, we found no difference on weight after EVLP: Steen group (SG) = 1,097±526g; Alternative Perfusion Solution (APS) = 743±248g, p=0.163. Edema formation, assessed by Wet/dry weigh ratio, was statistically higher on the Alternative Perfusion Solution group (APS = 3.63 ± 1.26; SG = 2.06 ± 0.28; p = 0.009). No difference on PaO2 after EVLP (SG = 498±37.53mmHg; APS = 521±55.43mmHg, p=0.348, nor on histological analyses: pulmonary injury score: SG = 4.38±1.51; APS = 4.50±1.77, p=0.881; apoptotic cells count after perfusion: SG = 2.4 ± 2.0 cells/mm2; APS = 4.8 ± 6.9 cells/mm2; p = 0.361). CONCLUSION: The ex vivo lung perfusion using the alternative perfusion solution showed no functional or histological differences, except for a higher edema formation, from the EVLP using Steen Solution(r) on lungs from rejected brain-dead donors.
article 4 Citação(ões) na Scopus Ex vivo experimental model: split lung block technique(2011) MARIANI, Alessandro Wasum; MEDEIROS, Israel Lopes de; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; FERNANDES, Flavio Guimares; UNTERPERTINGER, Fernando do Valle; FERNANDES, Lucas Matos; CANZIAN, Mauro; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliSince they were first established, ex vivo models of lung reconditioning have been evaluated extensively. When rejected donor lungs are used, the great variability among the cases can hinder the progress of such studies. In order to avoid this problem, we developed a technique that consists of separating the lung block into right and left blocks and subsequently reconnecting those two blocks. This technique allows us to have one study lung and one control lung.- Cold ischemia or topical-ECMO for lung preservation: a randomized experimental study(2014) MARIANI, Alessandro Wasum; MEDEIROS, Israel Lopes; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; FERNANDES, Flavio Guimaraes; UNTERPERTINGUER, Fernando Do Vale; FERNANDES, Lucas Matos; CARDOSO, Paulo Francisco; CANZIAN, Mauro; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliCONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Lung preservation remains a challenging issue for lung transplantation groups. Along with the development of ex vivo lung perfusion, a new preservation method known as topical-ECMO (extracorporal membrane oxygenation) has been proposed. The present study compared topical-ECMO with cold ischemia (CI) for lung preservation in an ex vivo experimental model. DESIGN AND SETTING: Randomized experimental study, conducted at a public medical school. METHOD: Fourteen human lungs were retrieved from seven brain-dead donors that were considered unsuitable for transplantation. The lung bloc was divided and each lung was randomized to be preserved by means of topical-ECMO or CI (4-7 degrees C) for eight hours. These lungs were then reconnected to an ex vivo perfusion system for functional evaluation. Lung biopsies were obtained at three times. The functional variables assessed were oxygenation capacity (OC) and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP); and the histological variables were lung injury score (LIS) and apoptotic cell count (ACC). RESULTS: The mean OC was 468 mmHg (+/- 81.6) in the topical-ECMO group and 455.8 (+/- 54) for CI (P = 0.758). The median PAP was 140 mmHg (120-160) in the topical-ECMO group and 140 mmHg (140-150) for CI (P = 0.285). The mean LIS was 35.57 (+/- 4.5) in the topical-ECMO group and 33.86 (+/- 6.1) for CI (P = 0.367). The ACC was 25.00 (+/- 9.34) in the topical-ECMO group and 24.86(+/- 10.374) for CI (P = 0.803). CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that topical-ECMO was not superior to cold ischemia for up to eight hours of lung preservation.
- Altered Proteins in the Hippocampus of Patients with Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy(2018) PERSIKE, Daniele Suzete; MARQUES-CARNEIRO, Jose Eduardo; STEIN, Mariana Leao de Lima; YACUBIAN, Elza Marcia Targas; CENTENO, Ricardo; CANZIAN, Mauro; FERNANDES, Maria Jose da SilvaMesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is usually associated with drug-resistant seizures and cognitive deficits. Efforts have been made to improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of MTLE for new therapies. In this study, we used proteomics to determine the differential expression of proteins in the hippocampus of patients with MTLE compared to control samples. By using the two-dimensional electrophoresis method (2-DE), the proteins were separated into spots and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Spots that had different densitometric values for patients and controls were selected for the study. The following proteins were found to be up-regulated in patients: isoform 1 of serum albumin (ALB), proton ATPase catalytic subunit A (ATP6V1A), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), dihydropyrimidinase-related protein 2 (DPYSL2), isoform 1 of myelin basic protein (MBP), and dihydrolipoamide S-acethyltransferase (DLAT). The protein isoform 3 of the spectrin alpha chain (SPTAN1) was down-regulated while glutathione S-transferase P (GSTP1) and protein DJ-1 (PARK7) were found only in the hippocampus of patients with MTLE. Interactome analysis of the nine proteins of interest revealed interactions with 20 other proteins, most of them involved with metabolic processes (37%), presenting catalytic activity (37%) and working as hydrolyses (25%), among others. Our results provide evidence supporting a direct link between synaptic plasticity, metabolic disturbance, oxidative stress with mitochondrial damage, the disruption of the blood-brain barrier and changes in CNS structural proteins with cell death and epileptogenesis in MTLE. Besides this, the presence of markers of cell survival indicated a compensatory mechanism. The over-expression of GSTP1 in MTLE could be related to drug-resistance.
- The impact of topically applied preservation solutions on the respiratory epithelium of tracheal grafts submitted to cold ischemia: functional and morphological analysis(2013) AZEVEDO-PEREIRA, Artur Eugenio de; SAKA, Juliana Akemi; OLIVEIRA-BRAGA, Karina Andrighetti de; PAZETTI, Rogerio; CANZIAN, Mauro; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; JATENE, Fabio BiscegliOBJECTIVE: Advances in graft reepithelialization and revascularization have renewed interest in airway transplantation. This study aims to determine whether topically applied preservation solutions can ameliorate ischemic injury to tracheal grafts. We analyzed 1) the effects of cold ischemia on the mucociliary clearance of tracheal grafts and 2) the impact of topically applied preservation solutions on the effects of cold ischemia on mucociliary clearance. METHOD: Tracheal segments (n = 217) from 109 male Wistar rats were harvested, submerged in low-potassium-dextran-glucose, histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate, or saline solution (saline group), and stored at 4 degrees C for 6, 10, 16, or 24 hours. A control group (not submerged) was analyzed immediately after harvesting. In situ mucociliary transport and ciliary beating frequency were measured using a stroboscope. Epithelial integrity, cellular infiltration, and mucus storage were quantified by light microscopy and image analysis software, along with transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS: 1) The effects of cold ischemia: in situ mucociliary transport and ciliary beating frequency were greater in the control group than after cold ischemia. Microscopic analysis results were similar between groups. 2) The effects of preservation solutions: there was no difference between the low-potassium-dextran-glucose, histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate, and saline groups in functional or light microscopy analysis. The saline group presented stronger signs of ischemic injury with transmission electron microscopy. CONCLUSIONS: Cold ischemia diminished the mucociliary clearance of the tracheal respiratory epithelium. Topically applied preservation solutions did not ameliorate the injury caused by cold ischemia to the tracheal respiratory epithelium.
