Effective Components

Pesticides are currently used in China, the most toxic pesticides, pesticide use in China currently accounts for more than 80% of the volume, it is through the respiratory tract, skin and mucosa and digestive and other ways to absorb and rapidly cause poisoning. Chinese herbal medicine effective components have alleviated the toxic effects of pesticides, and has been widely used in clinical. The paper made a brief overview on protection of organ on medicine for pesticide poisoning research.

Excessive Consumption

Resumo: As espécies Averrhoa bilimbi (birí-birí) e Averrhoa carambola (carambola) pertencem à família das Oxalidaceae, o fruto que é cultivado em vários países da América do Sul. Estas frutas são habitualmente consumidas pela população, seja na forma de sucos, geléias, doces e conservas. O grande problema é que seus consumos exagerados podem causar efeitos tóxicos que são desconhecidos pela população em geral, necessitando assim de maiores conhecimentos sobre a toxicidade destas plantas. Assim a presente pesquisa trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura onde; após analisar os descritores em sites de busca na internet e aplicar os critérios de inclusão e exclusão pré-estabelecidos, foram selecionados um total de 14 artigos. Todos os artigos selecionados contemplavam de informações sobre a nefrotoxicidade dos frutos desencadeadas pela presença de sais de oxalato; bem como descreveram a neurotoxicidade na carambola desencadeada pela presença da caramboxina. Assim, observa-se a necessidade do conhecimento sobre os respectivos efeitos tóxicos dessas frutas e do conhecimento etnobotânico atribuído ao profissional farmacêutico que propaga informações sobre o uso racional da fitoterapia.Palavras-chave: Averrhoa bilimbi. Averrhoa carambola. Nefrotoxicidade. Neurotoxicidade. Abstract: The species Averrhoa bilimbi (biri biri) and Averrhoa carambola (star fruit) belong to the Oxalidaceae Family, the fruit is cultivated in several South American countries. These fruits are usually consumed by the population, whether in the form of juices, jellies, candy or preserve. The big problem is that the excessive consumption can cause toxic effects that are unknown by the general population, being necessary better knowledge about the toxicity of these plants. Thus, this research is about the integrative literature revision where; after analyzing the descriptors on websites and apply the pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 14 articles were selected. All selected articles contemplated the information about the nephrotoxicity of the fruits trigged by the presence of oxalate salt; as well as described the neurotoxicity of the star fruit trigged by the presence of caramboxin. In that way, there is a need for knowledge about these respective toxic effects of these fruits and for ethnobotanical knowledge assigned to the pharmacist that spreads information about the rational use of herbal medicine. Keywords: Averrhoa bilimbi. Averrhoa carambola. Nephrotoxicity. Neurotoxicity.

Karwinskia humboldtiana is a poisonous plant that grows in semi desertic areas in north and central México. It produces several substances with different toxic effects. One of them designated T-514 damages severely the lung, kidney and liver, producing in the hepatoeyte large intracellular fat deposits and necrosis. Preliminary observations demonstrated that three is a decrease in the amount of peroxisomes in the hepatocytes of experimentally intoxicated rats and monkeys. To study the effect exerted by the T-514 on peroxisomes, a yeast model was selected, thus, three species: Saccha romices cerevisiae, Ilansenula polymorpha and Candida boidinii were used, because there is information concerning their peroxisome's morphology, enzyme content, biological behaviour under different culture conditions and biogenesis.

Some Conditions Necessary for Pinocytosis

Cell Processes

The cytological evidence for pinocytosis is the focal infolding of the cell membrane to form surface pits that eventually pinch off and move into the cytoplasm. This activity, which can be inhibited by oxidative and glycolytic poisons, is performed only by cell processes that are at least 300A wide. However, the interpretation of such toxic effects becomes equivocal if the membrane invaginations do not normally lead to the formation of migratory vesicles, as in some endothelia and in smooth muscle. The present study is an attempt to set forth some conditions under which pinocytosis, as distinct from the mere inclusion of material in surface invaginations, can take place.
