Effect of alcoholic beverages on progeny and reproduction of mice
Figueiro, Fernanda Dias; Bispo, Ana Clara Cerato; Guarido, Karla Lorena; Marianno, Priscila; Costa, Gabriel de Araújo; Morimoto, Helena KaminamiAlcohol is the most commonly consumed substance in the world. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of alcoholic beverages on male reproduction and possible alterations in their offspring. The mice were divided into 4 groups: beer, wine, cachaça (a type of sugarcane rum), with ethanol concentrations of 1.9 g/kg, and control group treated with PBS. The treatment period was 35 days. The animal...
Difficulties in the diagnosis of HTLV-2 infection in HIV/AIDS patients from Bra...
Morimoto, Helena Kaminami; Morimoto, Arilson Akira; Reiche, Edna Maria Vissoci; Ueda, Luiz Toshio; Matsuo, Tiemi; Reiche, Fernando VissociThe current diagnosis of human T-lymphotropic virus type-2 (HTLV-2) infection is based on the search of specific antibodies; nevertheless, several studies conducted in Brazil pointed deficiencies of the commercially available kits in detecting HTLV-2, mostly in HIV/AIDS patients. This study searched for the presence of HTLV-1 and -2 in 758 HIV/AIDS patients from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil. Serum samples were scre...
Seroprevalence for hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection among volunteer blood dono...
Bortoliero, André Luiz; Bonametti, Ana Maria; Morimoto, Helena Kaminami; Matsuo, Tiemi; Reiche, Edna Maria VissociA cross-sectional study was carried out among 996 volunteer blood donors enrolled from May 1999 to December 1999 to determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection among volunteer blood donors of the Regional Blood Bank of Londrina, State of Paraná, Brazil, and to evaluate whether the rate of seroprevalence of IgG anti-HEV antibodies is associated with sociodemographic variables and with serop...
Socio-demographic and epidemiological characteristics associated with human imm...
Reiche, Edna Maria Vissoci; Bonametti, Ana Maria; Watanabe, Maria Angélica Ehara; Morimoto, Helena Kaminami; Morimoto, Arilson AkiraThe ability to control human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection and progression of the disease is regulated by host and viral factors. This cross-sectional study describes the socio-demographic and epidemiological characteristics associated with HIV-1 infection in 1,061 subjects attended in Londrina and region, south of Brazil: 136 healthy individuals (Group 1), 147 HIV-1-exposed but uninfected ind...

Vogler, Ingridt Hildegard; Nishiya, Anna; Morimoto, Helena Kaminami; Reiche, Edna Maria Vissoci; Bortoliero, André Luiz; Matsuo, TiemiSerological, epidemiological and molecular aspects of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection were evaluated in 183 subjects from Londrina, Paraná, Brazil, and adjacent areas. Serum samples which tested anti-HCV positive by microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) obtained from eight patients with chronic hepatitis C, 48 blood donors, and 127 patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) were submitted...

Reiche, Edna Maria Vissoci; Vogler, Ingridt Hildegard; Morimoto, Helena Kaminami; Bortoliero, André Luis; Matsuo, Tiemi; Yuahasi, Kátia KiokoThis study evaluated the usefulness of the anti-HBc, hepatitis C virus antibodies (anti-HCV), human T cell lymphotropic virus I and II antibodies (anti-HTLV I/II), serologic tests for syphilis, and surface antigen of hepatitis B virus (HBsAg) as surrogate markers for the risk for HIV infection in 80,284 serum samples from blood donors from the Blood Bank of "Hospital Universitário Regional Norte do Paraná", Lon...
Seropositivity for anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies among blood donors of the ...
Reiche, Edna Maria Vissoci; Inouye, Marta Mutsumi Zaha; Pontello, Rubens; Morimoto, Helena Kaminami; Jankevicius, Shiduca Itow; Matsuo, TiemiThe most frequent form of acquisition of Chagas' disease in endemic areas was the transmission through the feces of contaminated triatominae. However, special attention should be paid in urban areas to transmission by blood transfusion, justifying the compulsory screening of blood donors. Early investigations at blood banks in the town of Londrina, Brazil, demonstrated that the seroprevalence of anti-Trypanosom...
