New ruthenium nitrosyl complexes were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques, including X-ray absorption. Under selected conditions, they able to release NO HNO, which was demonstrated through in vitro cell assays.
Abstract Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), first identified in China December 2019, rapidly spread worldwide, resulting the disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Understanding structural and functional interactions between virus host cells is critical for developing therapeutic strategies. Methods: In this study, we employed silico docking models to investigate molecular receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein, derived from Brazilian...
A pesquisa analisa o impacto da evangelização sobre as práticas religiosas e os sistemas de crenças dos povos indígenas, evidenciando apagamento rituais mitologias ancestrais. O avanço das missões evangélicas promove uma reconfiguração identidades frequentemente associada à negação elementos culturais tradicionais. Esse fenômeno reflete um processo colonização simbólica, no qual a religiosidade cristã se impõe como única via legítima fé. Dito isso, estudo discute tensões entre tradição...
Nos últimos anos, como demonstrados por dados compilados pelo Conselho Indigenista Missionário (Cimi) indicam que 208 indígenas foram assassinados no Brasil em 2023, um aumento de 15,5% relação a 2022 (quando ocorreram 180 assassinatos). Em muitos casos, líderes e defensores ambientais são alvos violências; Human Rights Watch ressalta que, mesmo com novos esforços proteção, ameaças ataques “guardiões da floresta” persistiram 2024 vem persistindo até os dias atuais. Neste contexto, pesquisa...
Este artigo propõe uma reflexão crítica sobre o ato de ler como prática libertadora, a partir da perspectiva Paulo Freire e sua defesa por educação comprometida com formação consciência crítica. Porque, para Freire, não é apenas decodificar palavras, mas sim interpretar mundo em complexidade contradições. E justamente nesse processo leitura do que se abre espaço autonomia, escuta problematização realidade. Ao longo pesquisa, discutimos pode tornar um caminho emancipação sujeitos...
Scorpions belonging to the Tityus genus are of medical interest in Brazil. Among them, stigmurus is main scorpion responsible for stings Northeast region. After a sting, venom distributes rapidly organs, reaching kidneys quickly. However, there few studies concerning renal pathophysiology poisoning. In this study, we evaluated effects T. (TsV) on parameters isolated rat kidneys. Wistar rats (n = 6), weighing 250-300 g, were perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 6 g/100 mL bovine...
The Micrurus snake venoms mainly cause systemic complications, essentially neurotoxicity. Previous studies, however, have described that they are involved in the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI) animal models. AKI pathogenesis snakebites is multifactorial and involves immunological reactions, hemodynamic disturbances, direct nephrotoxicity. aim this study was to compare nephrotoxic effects coral from M. browni (MbV) laticollaris (MlV) on proximal tubular epithelial cell line (LLC-MK2)...
Background: Envenomation caused by Bothrops alternatus is common in Southern Brazil. Acute Kidney Injury occurs after snakebite and more information necessaryrequired to understand its mechanism. Objective: The objective was evaluate the effect of venom (BaV) on renal cells rat isolated kidney function. Methods: Wistar rats (n = 6, weighing 260-320 g) were perfused with a Krebs-Henseleit solution containing 6 g 100 mL-1 bovine serum albumin. After 30 minutes, kidneys BaV final concentration...
