RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Mostrar los hallazgos imagenológicos en la resonancia magnética (RM) de la sinovitis vellonodular pigmentada (SVP) y el tumor de células gigantes de la vaina sinovial (TCGVS), dado que son entidades que representan un diverso grupo de alteraciones en la proliferación de la sinovial. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Entre mayo de 2011 y junio de 2013, se estudiaron en nuestra institución 25 casos con diagnóstico histológico de proliferación de la sinovial. Se destacaron los distintos tipos de presentación en imágenes a través de una RM 1.5 Tesla. Los resultados fueron analizados y comparados con la literatura. RESULTADOS: La RM mostró características similares para esta patología en todos los pacientes. No obstante, se distinguieron 4 patrones principales de presentación, dependiendo de la morfología, la localización de la lesión y las características radiológicas diferenciales. Estos fueron: como dominante, el tumor de células gigantes de la vaina sinovial (n = 10), todos de localización extraarticular; la sinovitis vellonodular pigmentada de localización bursal (n = 2); la sinovitis vellonodular pigmentada de forma intraarticular focal (n = 5); y la sinovitis vellonodular pigmentada difusa (n = 8). CONCLUSIÓN: La sinovitis vellonodular pigmentada y el tumor de células gigantes de la vaina sinovial se consideran entidades similares desde el punto de vista anatomopatológico. La RM fue de gran utilidad para objetivar tanto las características radiológicas comunes como las diferenciales. Estas últimas, junto con la localización, nos permitieron clasificar 4 patrones de presentación. Su reconocimiento posibilita un adecuado seguimiento de la patología y un óptimo manejo terapéutico.

PURPOSE: To show the resonance magnetic imaging (MRI) findings of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) and giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath (PVNTS), entities with similar histology but differences in clinical and some radiological manifestations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied 25 cases with histologically benign synovial proliferation in intra and extraarticular location of the extremities. It highlighted with a 1.5T MRI unit the different types of images presentation. The results were analyzed and compared with the literature. RESULTS: MRI displayed very specific imaging features in all patients. However, we were able to distinguish 4 main patterns of presentation depending on the morphology, location of the lesion and radiological differential. These were: as dominant presentation, pigmented villonodular synovitis localized form (n=10); pigmented villonodular synovitis bursal form (n=2); pigmented villonodular synovitis focal (n =5); and pigmented villonodular synovitis diffuse (n = 8). CONCLUSION: Both pigmented villonodular synovitis as well as giant cell tumor of the tendon sheath are considered similar from the point of view of the histological findings. MRI was useful to objectify both radiological features in common, such as the differential, which along with the location, allow us to classify patterns into 4 individual presentations. This recognition involves adequate radiological evaluation and is important for optimal management.

RESUMO

The production of glucose isomerase was studied in the Streptomyces phaeochromogenes NRRL B-3559 strain. The influence of the medium composition and the aeration conditions was determined Selection of colonies was necessary to obtain the best results. A grey colony proved to be the most productive one. It was necessary to use the frozen inocula in order to obtain steady reproduction values. It was possible to achieve the maximum enzymatic level (1600 UE/1 min) using a CoCl2. 6H2O concentration of 0.18 g/l. The aeration studies conducted in a mechanically stirred fermentor showed results comparable to those obtained in shaker flasks, operating at 550 rpm and using an air flow of 1 1/1 min. The culture proved to properly aerated since both the cellular oxygen uptake and oxygen demand were similar (Table 1).

RESUMO

Se estudio la produccion de glucosa-isomerasa utilizando una cepa de Streptomyces phaeochromogenes NRRL B-3559. Se considero la influencia de la composicion del medio cultivo y de las condiciones de aeracion.De tres tipos de colonias bien diferenciadas que el microorganismo es capaz de desarrollar, las grises fueron de la mayor produccion enzimatica. Con el objeto de evitar la variabilidad de la poblacion microbiana y obtener resultados sobre la composicion del medio, se vio que la concentracion de cobalto es critica en cuanto a los niveles de enzima alcanzados.Empleando una concentracion de Cl2Co.6H2 de 0,18 g/l se obtuvieron 1600 UE/l. Los estudios de aeracion realizados en fermentadores con agitacion mecanica del tipo convencional, mostraron que es posible obtener valores de actividad enzimatica similares a los producidos en erlenmeyers agitados, operando a 550 rpm y un flujo de aire de 1 1/1.min. Se demostro que el cultivo estaba adecuadamente aerado en razon de que los valores de consumo y demanda celular de oxigeno fueron semilares

RESUMO

Se estudio la influencia de mutantes respiratorias de una Saccharomyces fragilis en la produccion de biomasa. Se considero el efecto de distintas proporciones de una mutante con capacidad respiratoria nula en poblaciones de celulas de levadura en relacion al rendimiento celular. Los resultados obtenidos en estas esperiencias muestran que para procesos donde se utiliza el 100% de celulas normales (RC) es posible obtener 5,6 g/l de masa celular mientras que operando con el 100% de mutantes respiratorias (RD) solo se alcanza una concentracion de 1,6 g/l para iguales condiciones de cultivo. Estos estudios muestran la importancia del conocimiento de la distribucion de la poblacion de celulas, ya que el rendimiento en biomasa esta directamente relacionado a su composicion

RESUMO

The aim of this work was to study the influence of medium composition and the effect of the operative conditions on alkaline protease production. Several nitrogen sources (in amount of 10 g/l) were tested and compared with bacto peptone Difco: Casein was the best. The addition of "Tween 80" 0,5% resulted in a marked increase in yields of the alkaline protease. The maximum alkaline protease production (3.342.290 UAPAM/g) was achieved using the following medium: Lactose 20 g/l; casein 10 g/l; NaCl 1,5 g/l; MgSO4.7H2O 0,15 g/l; CaCl2.2H2O 0,06 g/l; MnCl2.4H2O 0,01 g/l; "Tween 80" 5,0 g/l; EDTA 1,5 X 10(-4)M; KH2PO4 1,5 g/l; K2H PO4 1,5 g/l; Na2SO4 1,5 g/l. It was found that a volumetric relation of 0,1 ml, vol. of medium/vol. of flask at 25 degrees C of temperature was the best process condition.

RESUMO

The survival of Rhizobium japonicum was studied in neutralized and sterilized peats from Ushuaia and Rio Grande. The carriers were sterilized by ethylene oxide and by autoclaving. Similar counts for Rhizobium (5 x 10(8) cel/g) were obtained in peat-cultures sterilized by both methods, after eight months. A good nodulation and nitrogen fixation capacity was observed with inoculated soybean plants. Using the strain Rhizobium japonicum E-45, no appreciable difference in symbiotic effectiveness was found between the inoculants prepared with the two peats.

RESUMO

Submerged cultures of Brucella abortus strain 19 were studied in shaking flasks. The influence of the sterilization methods and the medium composition on the bacterial yield and cellular dissociation were studied. The selected medium was as follows (amounts in g/l): casein pancreatic hydrolizated 30; yeast extract 10; glucose, 30; sodium phosphate dibasic anhydrous 3,3; sodium monobasic monohydrate 9. Cell concentration of 8 . 10(10) viable cell/ml was obtained after 48 hours when the medium components were separated and sterilized at 121 degrees C for 20 min in autoclave.
