Detecção e caracterização de células epiteliais no sangue periférico de pacientes com carcinoma localmente avançado de mama / Detection and characterization of epithelial cells in the peripheral blood of patients with breast cancerMaekawa, Yumi Hasegawa 02 March 2007 (has links)
O projeto tem como objetivo a detecção e caracterização das células epiteliais circulantes de pacientes com carcinoma de mama no estádio III. Analisou-se a presença ou ausência destas células antes da realização de quimioterapia neoadjuvante. Para tanto, utilizou-se o sistema de enriquecimento de amostras de sangue periférico por meio da marcação intracelular imunomagnética direta, empregando-se microbeads conjugados com citoqueratina e posterior separação imunomagnética. A amostra final, com as células alvo detectadas, foi então quantificada por imunocitoquímica ou citometria de fluxo. Resultados: A reação de imunocitoquímica no sangue periférico foi negativa em todos os casos enquanto que na citometria de fluxo foi positiva em 22/23 casos analisados. Conclusão: A detecção e caracterização de células tumorais circulantes em pacientes com câncer de mama podem vir a se constituir em um novo fator prognóstico, porém, são ainda necessárias novas estratégias para melhor detectá-las. / The aim of this study was to detect and characterize carcinoma cells of patients with breast cancer with clinical stage III analyzing the presence or absence before chemotherapy by enrichment of peripheral blood with super paramagnetic microbeads, using direct Immunomagnetic labeling of intracellular 7/8 cytokeratin. For enrichment, magnetically labeled tumor cells are passed over a high-gradient magnetic positive selection column. Cytospin preparations are made after immunomagnetic enrichment and are examined immunocytochemically (ICC) using an anti-cytokeratin and quantified by flow cytometry (CMF). Results: No cytokeratin positive cells were detected in the 32 peripheral blood of patients of breast carcinoma by ICC and cytokeratin positive cells were detected in the 22 of 23 patients by CMF. Conclusion: These methods of detection and characterization breast carcinoma cells will become useful in the diagnosis and prognosis but is necessary optimization of existing methods.

Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: A veiculação hídrica tem sido considerada uma das principais vias de transmissão de giardiose e criptosporidiose sendo implicada na ocorrência de vários surtos de gastroenterites, em vários países nos últimos anos. Diante deste panorama, no Brasil foi emitida Portaria 518/04 (Ministério da Saúde), que recomenda a pesquisa destes protozoários em água de consumo humano. Por este motivo, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um estudo comparativo entre as metodologias de concentração já existentes: Filtração em Membrana (FM) e Floculação em Carbonato de Cálcio (FCC), tecendo uma análise crítica das mesmas e verificando-se a sua aplicabilidade em amostras naturais de água superficial do Rio Atibaia. Este estudo foi conduzido em duas etapas: na primeira, foram realizados 52 experimentos, visando analisar o desempenho dos métodos propostos determinando-se a precisão inicial em amostras de água reagente inoculadas com suspensões comerciais de cistos e oocistos Easy Seed® (Biotecnology Frontiers, Austrália), aplicando-se ou não a etapa de purificação mediante o uso da separação imunomagnética. Quando foram avaliadas amostras do rio Atibaia, a suspensão comercial de cistos e oocistos utilizada para a contaminação artificial foi Color Seed® (Biotecnology Frontiers, Austrália). Em uma segunda etapa, um total de 36 experimentos foi conduzido com o objetivo de se avaliar o comportamento dos mesmos métodos frente a fatores interferentes, característicos da matriz de água bruta superficial, entre eles a turbidez. Nos experimentos controle com amostra de água reagente, a metodologia de FM recuperou mais organismos (21,5 % dos oocistos e 25,0 % dos cistos), quando comparada com a metodologia de FCC (5,3 % e 5,8 % dos oocistos e cistos, respectivamente). A inclusão da etapa de purificação por separação imunomagnética (IMS) não resultou num aumento na recuperação de cistos e oocistos nestas metodologias (FM e FCC). Nos experimentos com amostras de água do Rio Atibaia, de uma maneira geral, a metodologia de FCC apresentou melhor desempenho de recuperação dos organismos e quando incluída a etapa de IMS, uma melhora ocorreu apenas para a recuperação de cistos de Giardia spp. Quando avaliada amostras de água bruta superficial do rio Atibaia em condições de turbidez até 50 NTU a etapa de purificação por IMS acarretou uma maior eficiência de recuperação de cistos de Giardia spp. e oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp., para as duas metodologias de concentração. Quando a turbidez das amostras foi superior a 50 NTU, uma melhora da recuperação ocorreu apenas para Cryptosporidium spp, utilizando-se o método de FM. Assim, ambas as metodologias avaliadas, mostraram-se eficientes para serem aplicadas em um monitoramento desses protozoários em amostras hídricas, mesmo em situações de alta turbidez. A etapa de purificação pela separação imunomagnética nem sempre apresentou um ganho na recuperação dos organismos e, as variações nos valores de recuperação para ambos os protozoários, são inerentes aos protocolos utilizados e também associados à matriz analisada. A FM é indicada pela praticidade, tempo e resultados, podendo auxiliar para o conhecimento da ocorrência destes patógenos e assim, minimizar a possibilidade de sua transmissão mediante veiculação hídrica / Abstract: The waterborne transmission route of giardiosis and criptosporidiosis has been considered the major one, causing the occurrence of several gastroenteritis outbreaks in several countries in the last years. Looking to this panorama, was published in Brazil the Governmental Decree 518/04 (Health Department), that recommends the research of these protozoa in water samples. For this reason, the goal of this study was to accomplish a comparative study between Membrane Filtration (MF) and Calcium Carbonate Flocculation (FCC) concentration methodologies, doing a critical analysis of both and verifying its apply in natural samples of Atibaia River superficial water. Two stages took place: in the first one, 52 experiments were carried out, aiming to analyze the performance of the methods proposed, determining the initial precision in samples of reagent water inoculated with commercial suspensions of cysts and oocysts (Easy Seed®-Biotecnology Frontiers Australia), applying or not the purification step by Immunomagnetic Separation. When natural water samples were evaluated, the commercial suspension of cysts and oocysts utilized for the artificial contamination was (Color Seed®-Biotecnology Frontiers Australia). In a second step, 36 experiments were carried out aiming to evaluate the behavior of the methods facing interferential factors, peculiar of the superficial raw water matrix, as turbidity. In the trial control with reagent water sample, the FM methodology recovered more organisms (21.5% of the oocysts and 25.0% of the cysts), in comparison to the FCC methodology (5.3% of the oocysts and 5.8% of the cysts). The purification step by Immunomagnetic Separation (IMS) did not show an improvement in the recovery of cysts and oocysts in these methodologies (FM and FCC). In the experiments with natural water performance of the organisms and when IMS step was included, an improvement occurred just for the recovery of Giardia spp. cysts. When superficial raw water of Atibaia river samples with turbidity up to 50 NTU were evaluated, the purification step by IMS showed higher efficiency in the recovery of Giardia spp. cysts and Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts, for both concentration methodologies. When the turbidity of the sample was over 50 NTU, a recovery improvement occurred just for Cryptosporidium spp, using the FM method. Thus, both methodologies showed efficiency in monitoring these protozoa in water samples, even in situations of high turbidity. The purification step by Immunomagnetic Separation not always showed gain in the recovery of the organisms and the variations in the values of recovery for both protozoa are inherent to the protocols that were used and also associated to the analyzed matrix. However, the FM method is indicated for its practicability, time and results, being able to help the knowledge of the occurrence of these pathogens and minimize the possibility of its transmission by waterborne route / Doutorado / Parasitologia / Doutor em Parasitologia

Previous issue date: 2012 / Resumo: O solo, principalmente quando melhorado com matéria orgânica proveniente de lodo de estação de tratamento de esgoto e/ou fezes humanas e de animais, pode se tornar importante fonte de veiculação de doenças por abrigar diversos parasitos. Estes, por serem amplamente dispersos no ambiente, podem gerar problemas de saúde pública. Como o solo é uma das principais rotas de transmissão desses organismos, este trabalho teve como objetivo - a partir dos protocolos descritos na literatura para a detecção de cistos de protozoários e ovos de helmintos em solos - avaliar as metodologias mais eficientes e escolher um método visando a padronização de um protocolo eficaz na detecção de cistos de Giardia e ovos de helmintos. Foram analisadas as variáveis: Homogeneização: vórtex por 2 minutos; agitador magnético por 10 minutos; homogeneização em mixer rotatório durante 30 minutos e homogeneização manual por 5 minutos; Soluções Dispersantes: 1% 7X ICN; glicina 1 M; 0,1M tetrassódio pirofosfato e 1% Tween 40; Filtração: ausência da etapa de filtração e , filtração em peneira, para os ensaios referentes aos ovos; Soluções de Purificação: sulfato de zinco (densidade 1,18), solução saturada de cloreto de sódio; sacarose (densidade 1,33 para protozoários e 1,3 para helmintos) e polietileno glicol 60%, além da separação imunomagnética (apenas para ensaios com cistos); Força Centrífuga Relativa: 650 x g durante 5 minutos (apenas para ovos); 1050 x g durante 10 minutos e 1050 x g durante 20 minutos. As amostras de solo foram contaminadas artificialmente com um número conhecido (5 x 10² ou 10³) de cistos de Giardia spp e de ovos de Ascaris suum. Comprovou-se, previamente aos experimentos, a negatividade do solo coletado quanto aos cistos de Giardia, mediante a realização da PCR, e flutuação em solução de sacarose, para ovos de helmintos. Verificou-se que, a homogeneização do solo com o ICN 7X em mixer rotatório é o processo mais adequado para cistos e ovos, a separação imunomagnética é a melhor forma de purificação para cistos e a solução de sacarose para ovos. As forças centrífugas relativas mais apropriadas são 650 x g durante 5 minutos para ovos e 1050 x g durante 10 minutos para cistos. Após a padronização da metodologia foi avaliada a aplicabilidade desta em solos irrigados por efluente de esgoto hospitalar tratado e em areia do filtro de tratamento deste esgoto. Foram encontrados cistos em ambas as matrizes. O uso desta metodologia efetiva permite o melhor controle da transmissão de parasitoses / Abstract: The soil, especially when enriched with organic matter from sludge sewage treatment plant or human and animal feces, may become an important source of diseases transmissions for holding several parasites. These parasites, for being widely spread in the environment, may cause public health problems. As the soil is one of the main routes for pathogens transmission, this study aimed to - from the protocols described in scientific literature for the detection of protozoan and helminth eggs in soil - evaluate the most effective methodologies and standardize a method to recover cysts and helminth eggs from soil. The following variables were analyzed: vortex Homogenization for 2 minutes, magnetic stirrer for 10 minutes, homogenization in rotary mixer for 30 minutes, and manual shaking for 5 minutes; Dispersion Solutions such as 1% ICN 7X, 1M glycine, 0.1M tetrasodiumPPi and1% tween 40; Filtration: the absence of filtration step, and filtering through a sieve, eggs testing; Purifying Solutions such as zinc sulphate (1,18density) saturated sodium chloride, sucrose (1,33 density for cysts and 1,3 density for eggs), polyethylene glycol 60% and immunomagnetic separation (just for cysts testing); Relative Centrifugal Force: 650 x g for 5 minutes (for eggs); 1050 x g for 10 minutes, 1050 x g for 20 minutes. Soil samples were artificially infected with a know number (5 x 10² or 10³) of Giardia spp cysts and Ascaris suum eggs. The negativity of the collected soil regarding the Giardia cysts was proved previously to the experiments, through PCR, and by flotation in sucrose solution for helminth eggs. It was verified that, the soil homogenization with ICN 7X in rotary mixer is the most efficient process for cysts and eggs, the immunomagnetic separation is the best purifying way for cysts and the sucrose solution for eggs. The most appropriated relative centrifugal force are 650 x g for 5 minutes for the eggs and 1050 x g for 10 minutes for the cysts. After the standardization of the methodology, its applicability was evaluated in soils irrigated with hospital treated wastewater and in the sand filter of this sewage treatment. Cysts were found in both matrices. The usage of this effective methodology allows better controlling of parasitosis transmission / Mestrado / Parasitologia / Mestre em Parasitologia

Surface Directed Monoclonal Antibodies against STEC Aid in the Reduction of Pathogen Detection Times from Food and WaterKumaran, Dilini January 2016 (has links)
The diagnostic methods implemented at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for the detection of Shiga toxin producing E. coli (STEC) are time consuming and tedious, taking up to 5 days before a positive sample can be confirmed. The goal of this project was to streamline the detection procedure for serogroup O157 and 6 important non-O157 serogroups of STEC. Following a short enrichment step (4-6 hrs), two approaches were considered: (1) the filtration of enrichment culture through a gradient of filtration membranes (decreasing pore sizes), followed
by capture using specific monoclonal antibody (mAb)-coated Dynabeads, and detection via fluorescence microscopy, (2) the addition of enrichment culture into a flow through system consisting of a column packed with large polystyrene beads (≥ 100 μm) coated with specific mAbs for capture. The results indicate that the filtration approach can only be applied to simpler food matrices. However, at least 100 CFU of the target STEC could be recovered using the filtration system following 4 hrs of enrichment of these matrices spiked with ≤ 15CFU of the target STEC. Similar capture results were obtained in the second approach using specific mAbs immobilized on covalently coupled protein G polystyrene beads and diluted enrichment media. A combination of these strategies together with immunofluorescence microscopy (IMS) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) could provide diagnostic laboratories with a means to confirm a positive sample within 2 days of testing.

Métodos de recuperação e estimativa de viabilidade de cistos de Giardia spp. e oocistos de Cryptosporidium spp. em resíduos do tratamento de água de consumo / Recovery methods and viability assessment of Giardia spp. e oocistos cysts and Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts in water treatment residuesSilva, Kamila Jéssie Sammarro 25 February 2019 (has links)
Esta pesquisa comparou a incorporação de iodeto de propídio (IP) com a avaliação simultânea de corantes indicativos de danificação em membrana e atividade enzimática (Live/Dead Cell Assay®) para a estimar a viabilidade de cistos de Giardia muris e oocistos de Cryptosporidium parvum. Além disso, foram testados métodos de recuperação de (oo)cistos em amostras de lodo e água de lavagem de filtros (ALF) geradas em escala de bancada, simulando tratamento de água por ciclo completo com decantação. Dentre os métodos estudados para a detecção de G. muris e C. parvum inoculados em amostras de lodo, destacou-se a floculação com sulfato férrico, seguida de separação imunomagnética (IMS). Realizou-se, portanto, ensaio de qualidade analítica com ColorSeedTM, para este método, tendo atendido ao requerido pelo Método 1623.1 da USEPA (2012) para Giardia spp. (32,25%; CV=9,00%), mas não tendo sido suficiente para Cryptostoridium spp. (11,00%; CV=47,67%). O teste com ColorSeedTM em amostras de ALF reproduziu o procedimento de filtração em membrana (FM) com raspagem utilizando Tween® 80 (45°C, 0,1%) seguido de IMS, tendo atendido ao Método 1623.1 para Giardia spp. (13,00%, CV=19,61%), mas não tendo sido suficiente para Cryptostoridium spp. (2,00%; CV=93,54%). Optou-se por este procedimento na avaliação de qualidade analítica, pois o inóculo prévio de suspensões comerciais seguido de recuperação por FM sem IMS superou 100% para C. parvum, devido à utilização de fator de multiplicação. O desempenho do Live/Dead Cell Assay® sobre suspensões comerciais de (oo)cistos foi subjetivo, sobretudo para visualização de organismos enzimaticamente ativos, de modo que optou-se pela inclusão de IP como parâmetro para estimar o efeito dos métodos de recuperação sobre a viabilidade. Em função da baixa recuperação e fluorescência de G. muris, a incorporação de IP foi avaliada apenas em C. parvum. Os resultados reiteraram a dificuldade na recuperação de protozoários em lodo e ALF e o fato de que as particularidades destes procedimentos analíticos podem prejudicar a interpretação de dados de viabilidade. / This study compared the incorporation of propidium iodide (PI) with the simultaneous evaluation of dyes that indicate both membrane damage and enzymatic activity (Live/Dead Cell Assay®) to assess the viability of Giardia muris cysts and Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts. In addition, methods of recovering protozoan cysts and oocysts from sludge and filter backwash water (FBW) samples generated on bench scale, simulating conventional water treatment with decantation, were tested. Among the studied methods for detection of G. muris and C. parvum spiked into sludge samples, ferric sulphate flocculation followed by immunomagnetic separation (IMS) lead to higher recoveries. An analytical quality assay was therefore carried out with ColorSeedTM having met the USEPA Method 1623.1 (2012) recommendation for Giardia spp. (32.25%, CV=9.00%) but not for Cryptostoridium spp. (11.00%, CV = 47.67%). The quality assay test for FBW samples replicated the membrane filtration (MF) procedure using Tween® 80 (45 °C, 0.1%) followed by IMS, having complied with Method 1623.1 for Giardia spp. (13.00%, CV=19.61%) but again not for Cryptostoridium spp. (2.00%; CV=93.54%). This procedure was chosen for the analytical quality exam, since the previous inoculum of commercial suspensions followed by MF without IMS exceeded 100% recovery for C. parvum, due to the use of a multiplication factor. The Live/Dead Cell Assay® performance on commercial suspensions of cysts and oocysts was subjective, especially for visualizing enzymatically active organisms, thus PI inclusion was chosen as the parameter to estimate the effect of recovery methods on the organisms\' viability. Due to the low recovery and poor fluorescence of G. muris, IP inclusion was evaluated only in C. parvum. The results reiterated the difficulty in the recovery of protozoa from sludge and FBW and the possibility of these analytical procedures hinder the interpretation of cysts and oocysts viability.
