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 In the in vivo treatment, blood samples were also withdrawn from animals treated with cinnamon extract.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.

Morphologic and functional evaluation may be necessary in order to control wrapped organs. Scintigraphy an examination with little invading and no biologic damage can be used. The purpose were to assess the biodistribution of sodium pertecnetate in organs of rats subjected to massive resection of the small intestine, the intestinal adaptation of the remnant intestinal mucosa and weight curve evaluation in the postoperative period. Twenty-one Wistar rats were randomly allocated into three groups (n = 7). The operated group named short bowel (SB) after anesthetized was subjected to massive resection of the small intestine; the control group (C), and sham group (SHAM). On the 30th postoperative day, 0.l mL of sodium pertechnetate was injected into the venous orbital plexus. After 30 minutes, the rats were killed with an overdose of anesthetic, and fragments of the liver, spleen, pancreas, stomach, duodenum, small intestine, thyroid, lung, heart, kidney, bladder, muscle, femur and brain were harvested. The percentage of radioactivity per gram of tissue (%ATI/g) was determined using Gama Counter WizardTM 1470, PerkinElmer to all samples. Biopsies of 3 cm remaining jejunum were removed to histological analyses. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey test for multiple comparisons were used, considering p<0.05 as significant. The study had the participation of some departments and laboratories, as Nucleus of Experimental Surgery, Department of Surgery, Laboratory of Radiobiology, Department of Pathology and Service of Nuclear Medicine, certifying the character of a multidisciplinary research. The results were no significant differences in %ATI/g of the sodium pertechnetate in the organs of the groups studied (p>0.05). An increase in the weight of the SB rats was observed after the second postoperative week. The jejunal mucosal thickness of the SB rats was significantly greater than that of C and sham rats (p<0.05. The biodistribution of sodium pertechnetate was not affected by massive intestinal resection in rats. An adaptive response by the intestinal mucosa probably contributed to the reversion of weight loss and the biodistribution of sodium pertechnetate was not affected by the surgery / A ressec??o extensa do intestino delgado resulta na s?ndrome do intestino curto com repercuss?o desabsortiva importante. Uma avalia??o morfofuncional poder? ser necess?ria aos ?rg?os envolvidos no processo. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a biodistribui??o do pertecnetato de s?dio em ?rg?os de ratos submetidos a ressec??o extensa do intestino delgado, a capacidade adaptativa da mucosa intestinal remanescente e o comportamento da curva ponderal p?s-operat?ria. Foram utilizados 21 ratos Wistar alocados aleatoriamente em tr?s grupos (n=7). O grupo tratado, denominado intestino curto (IC), foi submetido a anestesia e ressec??o ampla do intestino delgado, o grupo controle (C) e o grupo sham que submeteu-se ? leve manipula??o cir?rgica das al?as intestinais. Ap?s observa??o por trinta dias administrou-se, em todos os grupos, 0,l mL de pertecnetato de s?dio via plexo venoso orbital. Decorridos trinta minutos os animais foram sacrificados com superdose de anest?sico para retirada de fragmentos do f?gado, ba?o, p?ncreas, est?mago, duodeno, intestino delgado, tire?ide, pulm?o, cora??o, rim, bexiga, m?sculo, f?mur, e c?rebro. As amostras foram levadas ao Contador Gama Autom?tico 1470, WizardTM, Perkin-Elmer para contagem da radioatividade e posterior c?lculo do percentual de atividade radioativa por grama (%ATI/g) em cada ?rg?o. Segmentos de 3cm do jejuno foram retirados para an?lise histol?gica da mucosa. Utilizou-se avalia??o estat?stica param?trica (ANOVA) e teste de Tukey, considerando p<0,05 como significante. N?o houve diferen?as significantes da %ATI/g nos ?rg?os dos grupos estudados. Verificou-se acentuada redu??o inicial de peso, em seguida um aumento do peso dos animais tratados a partir da segunda semana de observa??o e aumento da espessura da mucosa jejunal do grupo IC, comparado com os demais. Em conclus?o, a ressec??o ampla do intestino delgado n?o alterou a biodistribui??o do radiof?rmaco nos ?rg?os avaliados entre os animais estudados. A adapta??o da espessura da mucosa pode ter contribuido para revers?o na perda de peso p?s-operat?ria e para que a biodistribui??o do pertecnetato de s?dio n?o fosse afetada pela interven??o cir?rgica.

This medicinal plant has been utilized as anticonvulsive, analgesic, antispasmodic effect, rheumatic pains, menstrual dyspepsia, asthenia, epilepsy, hepatitis, fevers, anemia and to expel parasites. In nuclear medicine, blood constituents are labeled with technetium-99m (99mTc) and used as radiopharmaceuticals (radiobiocomplexes). Authors have been described that synthetic and/or natural drugs could modify the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of an aqueous extract of Artemisia vulgaris L. on the labeling of blood constituents with 99mTc. Blood samples withdrawn of Wistar rats were incubated with Artemisia vulgaris L, stannous chloride and 99mTc, as pertechnetate ion. Aliquots of plasma (P) and blood cells (BC) were isolated. Aliquots of P and BC were also precipitated with trichloroacetic acid and soluble (SF) and insoluble (IF) fractions were separated. The radioactivity in each fraction was counted and the percentages of radioactivity (%ATI) were calculated. Artemisia vulgaris L. extract decreased significantly (p<0.05) the %ATI on BC and on IF-BC. The analysis of the results indicates that the extract could have substances that could interfere on the transport of stannous through the erythrocyte membrane altering the labeling of blood cells with 99mTc. Working in this study was a multidisciplinary group, with Phisical therapists, Biomedicals, Physicals, Pharmacists, Biologists, Statistics and Physicians. / Artemisia vulgaris L. ? usada na medicina tradicional como anticonvulsivante, analg?sico, antiespasm?dico, indicada para dores reum?ticas, dispepsia menstrual, astenia, epilepsia, hepatite, febre, anemia e para expelir parasita.
