Blood constituents labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) have also been employed as radiobiocomplexes and used also experimental model for evaluation of the biological effects of natural or synthetic drugs. The analysis of the morphology and the morphometrics parameters (perimeter/?rea ratio) can be used to evaluate the effects of drugs upon the structure of the membrane of red blood cells. Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) is a spice used as herbal medicine to treat diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of in vitro and in vivo treatment with an aqueous cinnamon extract on the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc and on the morphology of red blood cells from Wistar rats. In the in vitro treatment, isolated blood sample from animals were incubated with cinnamon extract. In the in vivo treatment, blood samples were also withdrawn from animals treated with cinnamon extract. In both cases, the radiolabeling of blood constituents was done. The morphological analysis of red blood cells was also done. As control, blood or animals treated with NaCl 0.9%. The data obtained on the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc experiments indicated that the in vitro treatment with cinnamon extract was capable to decrease signiicantly (p<0.05) the percentage of radioactivity in cellular compartments and on the fixation of cellular and plasma proteins. These effects were not observed on the in vivo treatment. The results obtained for the morphology of red blood cells suggest that the in vitro and in vivo treatments did not alter the morphology and the perimeter/area ratio. The in vitro treatment with aqueous cinnamon extract could affect the membrane structures related with the oxidation status of the stannous ion pertechnetate ion, altering the labeling of blood constituentes with 99mTc. This study was a multidisciplinary experimental research. It was developed with the contribution of the different Departments and Services of the Hospital Universit?rio Pedro Ernesto of the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / Radiobiocomplexos s?o utilizados para obten??o de imagens em medicina nuclear e empregados na pesquisa b?sica. Constituintes sang??neos marcados com tecn?cio-99m t?m sido empregados como radiobiocomplexos e utilizados como modelo experimental para avalia??o de efeitos biol?gicos de drogas naturais ou sint?ticas. A an?lise da forma e de par?metros morfom?tricos (rela??o per?metro/?rea) pode ser usada para avaliar os efeitos de drogas sobre a estrutura da membrana de hem?cias. Cinnamomum zeylanicum (canela) ? uma especiaria usada como planta medicinal para tratar doen?as. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar efeitos de um extrato aquoso de Cinnamomum zeylanicum na marca??o de constituintes sangu?neos com tecn?cio-99m e na morfologia de hem?cias de ratos Wistar. No tratamento in vitro, amostras de sangue de animais foram isoladas e incubadas com um extrato de canela. No tratamento in vivo, animais foram tratados com um extrato de canela e amostras de sangue foram isoladas. Em ambas as situa??es foram realizadas a radiomarca??o de constituintes sangu?neos e a an?lise morfol?gica. Como controle, o sangue ou os animais foram tratados com cloreto de s?dio 0,9%. Os dados obtidos nos experimentos de marca??o de constituintes sang??neos com tecn?cio-99m indicaram que o tratamento in vitro com extrato de canela foi capaz de diminuir significativamente (p<0,05) a porcentagem de radioatividade nos compartimentos celulares e na fixa??o das prote?nas celulares e plasm?ticas. Esses efeitos n?o foram observados no tratamento in vivo. Os resultados obtidos na morfologia de hem?cias sugerem que os tratamentos in vitro e in vivo n?o alteram a forma nem a raz?o per?metro/?rea. O tratamento in vitro com o extrato aquoso de canela poderia afetar estruturas da membrana celular relacionadas ao transporte de ?ons ou ao estado de oxida??o do ?on estanoso ou do ?on pertecnetato, alterando a marca??o de constituintes sang??neos com tecn?cio-99m. Esse estudo ? uma pesquisa experimental com car?ter multidisciplinar. Foi desenvolvido em colabora??o com diferentes Departamentos e Servi?os da ?rea biom?dica do Hospital Universit?rio Pedro Ernesto, UERJ, atestando o car?ter multidisciplinar da pesquisa

In basic research, cellular and molecular structures are labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) and used as radiobiocomplexes. Some natural or synthetic drugs are capable to alter the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc, as well as in the biodistribution of radiobiocomplexes. Arctium lappa (Bardana) has been used to treat inflammatory processes. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of an extract of Bardana on the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc, on the morphology of red blood cells, on the perimeter/area ratio of red blood cells and on the biodistribution of radiophamaceutical sodium pertechnetate in Wistar rats. Extract of Bardana was capable to alter the labeling of cellular compartment with 99mTc. Plasma and cellular proteins did not present alteration on the percentage of radioactivity (%ATI). Extract of Bardana was also capable to alter the morphology and the perimeter/area ratio of red blood cells. On the biodistribution of sodium pertechnetate in animals treated with the extract of Bardana, it was observed a small and significant uptake in liver, tooth and tongue, and a high and a significant uptake in stomach, lung and testis (p<0.05). In conclusion, these findings could be justified due to the effects of some chemical compounds in the Bardana extract. This study was a multidisciplinary experimental research. It was developed with the contribution of the different Departments and Services of the Hospital Universit?rio Pedro Ernesto of the Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro / Radionucl?deos t?m sido utilizados em Medicina Nuclear para diagn?stico e tratamento de doen?as.

Blood constituents have been used as radiobiocomplexes. Natural or synthetic products can influence on the labeling of blood constituents with technetium-99m (99mTc), the morphology of red blood cells and on the stannous chloride (SnCl2) action on plasmid DNA. Sambucus australis and Sambucus nigra are used in popular culture for treating diseases. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of the extracts of Sambucus australis and Sambucus nigra on the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc, on morphology of red blood cells of Wistar rats, on the topology of plasmids DNA and the action against the SnCl2 effects on the DNA of plasmids pBSK. On the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc it was verified that both extracts were capable to decrease significantly the radioactivity in the cellular compartment and in the insoluble fraction of plasma. Sambucus australis also decreased the labeling of insoluble fraction of blood cells with 99mTc. Both extracts did not alter the morphology of red blood cells. Moreover, it was verified that Sambucus nigra did not alter the electrophoretic profile of plasmid DNA, but decreased the effect of SnCl2 on plasmid DNA. These last results sugest a genotoxic effect and a protective action of Sambucus nigra extract against the SnCl2 action on plasmid DNA. This work was developed with the contribution of several Departments of biomedical area of the Hospital Universit?rio Pedro Ernesto, of the UERJ, characterizing a multidisciplinary experimental research / Radiobiocomplexos s?o utilizados em medicina nuclear para obten??o de imagens e tratamento de doen?as.

O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os efeitos dos extratos de Sambucus australis e de Sambucus nigra na marca??o de constituintes sang??neos com 99mTc, na morfologia de hem?cias de ratos Wistar, na topologia do DNA plasmidial e sua a??o sobre os efeitos do cloreto estanoso no DNA de plasm?dios pBSK. Na marca??o de constituintes sang??neos com 99mTc verificou-se que os dois extratos foram capazes de diminuir significativamente a radioatividade no compartimento celular e na fra??o insol?vel do plasma. Sambucus australis diminuiu tamb?m a marca??o da fra??o insol?vel da c?lula com 99mTc. Os dois extratos n?o alteraram a morfologia das hem?cias. Al?m disso, foi verificado que um extrato de Sambucus nigra n?o alterou o perfil eletrofor?tico do DNA plasmidial, entretanto diminuiu os efeitos do cloreto estanoso no DNA plasmidial. Estes ?ltimos resultados sugerem um efeito genot?xico e uma a??o protetora do extrato de Sambucus nigra contra a a??o do cloreto estanoso no DNA plasmidial.
