| isolation of a paracoccidioides brasiliensis strain from the soil of a coffee plantation in ibiá, state of minas gerais, brazil. | paracoccidioides brasiliensis has rarely been isolated from its habitat in rural areas. in order to investigate the hypothesis that human infection with this fungus is linked to coffee plantations (coffea arabica), material was collected monthly over a period of 1 year from farms in the town of ibiá, state of minas gerais, brazil. a total of 760 samples of soil, coffee leaves and fruits was cultured and inoculated into mice. a fungus isolated from the liver of a mouse inoculated with soil showed ... | 1998 | 9776810 |
| human study and experimental behavior of schistosoma mansoni isolates from patients with different clinical forms of schistosomiasis. | twenty schistosoma mansoni strains were isolated from three groups of patients (intestinal, hepatointestinal and hepatosplenic clinical forms) born and living in the town of capitão andrade, minas gerais, brazil. schistosomal isolate from each group was inoculated into three sets of mice with 25, 50 and 100 cercariae. the animals were killed 90 and 180 days after infection and submitted to extensive histopathological study of the liver, lung, intestine and spleen to determine qualitative and qua ... | 2008 | 18582844 |
| muscle strength but not functional capacity is associated with plasma interleukin-6 levels of community-dwelling elderly women. | the association of plasma interleukin-6 (il-6) levels, muscle strength and functional capacity was investigated in a cross-sectional study of community-dwelling elderly women from belo horizonte, brazil. elderly people who present controlled chronic diseases with no negative impact on physical, psychosocial and mental functionality are considered to be community-dwelling. psychological and social stress due to unsuccessfully aging can represent a risk for immune system disfunctions. il-6 levels, ... | 2008 | 19148380 |
| evaluation of native and exotic brazilian plants for anticancer activity. | native and exotic brazilian plants collected in the state of minas gerais were evaluated for their anticancer potential. methanol extracts from leaves of 51 plant species were tested for cytotoxicity against four tumor cell lines: b16 (murine skin), hl-60 (human leukemia), mcf-7 (human breast), and hct-8 (human colon). plant extracts that exhibited ic(50) values less than 30 microg/ml against any tumor cell line were tested on sea urchin egg development and mouse erythrocytes. in addition, all e ... | 2010 | 20127421 |
| melanoides tuberculata (mollusca: thiaridae) as an intermediate host of centrocestus formosanus (trematoda: heterophyidae) in brazil. | pleurolophocercous cercariae emerged from naturally infected melanoides tuberculata from minas gerais state, brazil, were used to perform experimental infection of laboratory-reared poecilia reticulata. mature metacercariae were obtained from the gills of fishes and force-fed to mus musculus. the adult parasites which recovered from small intestines of mice were identified as centrocestus formosanus. this is the first report of m. tuberculata as intermediate host of this heterophyid in brazil. | 2010 | 21748229 |
