RELATIONSHIP OF MOUTH OPENING AND LENGTH GROWTH TO FEED SIZE OF SNAKEHEAD LARVAE (CHANNA STRIATA)

Abstract Introduction Changes caused by the rigidity of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) can affect the mandibular musculature. However, few studies have been published about its impact on the oral opening. Objective To analyze the relationship of the vertical extension of the oral opening with muscular rigidity and sociodemographic factors of the elderly with PD. Material and method This is a cross-sectional, quantitative study that collected data from a primary study conducted at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Federal University of Pernambuco in 2018. Data were collected from medical records and from the questionnaire, Research Diagnostic Criterion for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD). The sample was composed of 81 parkinsonians and characterized using: sociodemographic variables and the presence or absence of muscular rigidity. The measures of vertical extension of the oral opening evaluated were: mouth opening without assistance and without pain (ABASD), and maximum mouth opening without assistance (AMBSA). The Pearson’s linear correlation and Spearman’s correlation tests were applied to investigate the relationship among the continuous variables. Analyses of association were conducted using simple logistic regression. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Result Limitation of the oral opening was not related to age or sex. The greatest level of significance was between mouth opening without assistance and without pain and muscular rigidity (p=0.012), and years of schooling (p=0.038). Conclusion The limitation of mouth opening in people with PD was shown to be related to muscular rigidity and fewer years of schooling.

ABSTRACTMetacercariae ofPlagiorchisspecies 1 were observed to hatch by an active mechanism in a medium free of enzymes. A hatching opening in the bilayered cyst wall was formed by the combined action of caecal fluid extruded by the activated larva through the mouth opening and an internal pressure due to the tendency of the cyst wall to contract on hatching, resulting in an explosive expulsion of part of the metacercarial body. The cyst wall was apparently pierced at any place where the larva delivered its caecal fluid. After excystation the hatching medium contained high phosphatase and proteinase activities and was able to dissolve the inner walls of empty cyst envelopes. The phosphatase activity assayed on 4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate was optimal at pH 3–5. The proteolytic activity was demonstrable on photographic film, Azocoll, and synthetic chromogenic and fluorogenic peptides. A preference for peptides was found which are also susceptible to plasmin. The proteolytic activity was optimal at pH 3–9 and 40–45°C and, when assayed on Suc-Ala-Phe-Lys-MCA, was only due to thiol proteinase(s) according to inhibitor studies. It is suggested that the proteinase(s) represent the hatching enzyme(s) of the metacercaria, because (a) only proteolytic activity was detectable in the pH range optimal for excystment, (b) the inner cyst wall is stabilized by proteins, and (c) the inner wall is dissolved by other proteinases such as trypsin. Enzyme histochemical investigations of metacercariae showed that, in the caeca, acid phosphatase was present mainly before hatching and non-specific esterase developed after hatching. Proteolytic activity was not localized with the methods used although it was suggested that it derived from the caecal fluid. A possible relationship of the thiol proteinase(s) detected in the hatching medium to haemoglobin-digesting proteinases from the gut of schistosomes is discussed.

Identifikasi larva ikan seringkali sulit dilakukan. Belum tersedianya kunci identifikasi untuk spesies larva ikan di perairan umum daratan sehingga belum adanya pedoman untuk dapat mengidentifikasi spesies larva ikan secara morfologi maupun meristik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi spesies larva ikan melalui sekuen DNA sehingga menghasilkan data spesies yang lebih pasti dan hubungan kelimpahan larva ikan dengan parameter kualitas perairan di Danau Ranau, Sumatera Selatan. Lokasi pengambilan sampel identifikasi jenis dan kualitas perairan di enam stasiun di Perairan Danau Ranau, Sumatera Selatan. Hasil identifikasi dengan menggunakan sekuen DNA ditemukan sepuluh jenis larva ikan. Kesepuluh jenis larva ikan tersebut antara lain Rasbora argyrotaenia, Puntius tetrazona, Oreochromis mossambicus, Oreochromis niloticus, Gambusia affinis, Poecilia reticulata, Mystacoleucus marginatus, Channa striata, Trichopsis vittata, and Trichogaster trichopterus. Sekuen DNA kemudian disejajarkan dengan sekuen referen dari perpustakaan data bank gen untuk mengakar pohon dengan menggunakan program BLAST dari NCBI untuk menemukan identitas yang paling dekat keterkaitannya dengan sampel larva-larva ikan yang dianalisis. Hubungan filogeni spesies diantara takson larva-larva ikan di Danau Ranau berdekatan. Kondisi perairan di Danau Ranau tergolong baik untuk biota perairan seperti larva ikan. Kualitas air merupakan parameter yang menentukan kelimpahan larva ikan di Danau Ranau. Larva-larva ikan antar populasi memiliki jarak genetik yang dekat antar satu dengan yang lain. Kelimpahan larva ikan berkorelasi positif dengan turbiditas dan berkorelasi negatif terhadap parameter daya hantar listrik.Identification of fish larva is often difficult. The unavailability of key identification for fish larva species in inland waters so that there are no guidelines for identifying fish larvae morphologically or meristically. This study aims to identify fish larva species from the Ranau Lake waters, South Sumatra through DNA sequences to produce more definitive species data and relationship of abundance of fish larva and water quality of parameters in Ranau Lake waters, South Sumatera. The sampling location of species identification and water quality was six stations in Ranau Lake waters, South Sumatra. The results of the study found the identification of fish larva species using DNA sequence found ten types of fish larva obtained. The ten types of fish larva include Rasbora argyrotaenia, Puntius tetrazona, Oreochromis mossambicus, Oreochromis niloticus, Gambusia affinis, Poecilia reticulata, Mystacoleucus marginatus, Channa striata, Trichopsis vittata, and Trichogaster trichopterus. The DNA sequence was then aligned with the referent sequence from the gene bank data library to root the tree by using the BLAST program from NCBI to find the identity that was closest to the sample of fish larvae analyzed. The relationship of species phylogeny between the fish larva of fish larva in Ranau Lake is close together. Fish larva between populations have close genetic distance from one another. Water quality in Ranau Lake are good for aquatic biota such as fish larva. Water quality is a parameter that determines the abundance of fish larva in Ranau Lake. The abundance of fish larva was positively correlated with turbidity, whereas negatively correlated to conductivity parameters.

AbstractWe compare the microscopic anatomy of the mouthparts of representative species of Solifugae, Pseudoscorpiones and Parasitiformes (Acari). Specifically, we focus on the epistome, the labrum, the lateral lips (= endites of the pedipalpal coxae) and the musculature of the pharyngeal suction pump. We provide evidence that the labrum is reduced in Solifugae, but present and functional in Pseudoscorpiones and Acari. The epistome constitutes the entire dorsal face of the rostrosoma in Solifugae, but is internalized into the prosoma in Pseudoscorpiones. In Acari, the epistome shows an ancestral morphology, probably close to the ground pattern of chelicerates. The lateral lips of Solifugae contribute to the ventral face of the rostrosoma and the two lips of the mouth opening. In Solifugae, the ventral rostrosoma also includes a sclerite that might derive from a tritosternum. In Pseudoscorpiones, the lateral lips remain independent of the rostrosoma, they interlock ventral to the rostrosoma forming a perioral space. Here, the rostrosoma has an unpaired ventral lip of unresolved morphological origin, which is, however, clearly distinct from the lateral lips of Solifugae. The pharyngeal suction pump differs in all three clades in attachment, number of muscles and origin of muscles. We interpret the data as evidence for independent, parallel evolution of elements of the ground pattern of the (eu)chelicerate mouth parts. Based on the morphological elements of a common euchelicerate ground plan, the rostrosoma evolved independently in the three clades. We reject earlier hypotheses that consider the rostrosoma a character to support a phylogenetic relationship of the three clades.

Background and objectives: Due to the fact that the mandible is the only movable bone in the face, it is often exposed to the influence of external forces. The incidence of trismus and posttraumatic pain in unilateral mandibular corpus fractures may be related to the occurrence of complications. There is a decrease in the quality of life of these patients. The aim was to study the relationship of the preoperative pain and trismus with the incidence of complications, as well as to investigate the quality of life. Materials and Methods: A prospective study on 60 patients with isolated mandibular fractures was performed, with a follow-up period of six months. The level of preoperative pain was measured on a 0–10 scale, while the mouth opening was measured with a caliper. All patients were treated surgically on the third day after the fracture. The University of Washington Quality of Life (UW-QOL v4) questionnaire was used to analyze the quality of life. Results: The most common types of complications were the occlusal derangement and facial asymmetry. The majority of complications were treated with counseling and physical therapy. The degree of preoperative pain was significantly positively related to the onset of complications (rs = 0.782, p = 0.004). The interincisal distance showed a significant inverse relation with the incidence of complications (rs = −0.722, p < 0.001). The patients regarded the pain, appearance and mood issues as the most important issues during the first postoperative month. Conclusions: The degree of inflammatory symptoms may be positively related to the onset of complications occurring after the rigid fixation of mandibular fractures. The postoperative health-related and overall quality of life was unsatisfactory in nearly half of the patients.

Objectives: The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) play a fundamental role in mastication, deglutition, speech, and even respiration. Thus, temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) can affect the quality of life, especially if they become chronic. Considering the controversy regarding the etiology of the TMDs, this study aimed to assess the relationship of TMDs with dental malocclusion. Materials and Methods: Totally, 885 dentate patients between 18 years and 60 years with complete dental records and no condylar ankylosis, history of trauma, bruxism, clenching, or congenital TMJ anomalies participated in this study. Tenderness on palpation, clicking, crepitus, pain, deviation on mouth opening, open bite, deep bite, cross bite, and class of malocclusion (I, II or III) were recorded for all patients. Results: Of patients, 60.2% were males and 39.8% were females. Gender had no correlation with TMDs. Patients had a mean age of 34.8 years. Age had no correlation with TMDs. Of TMD symptoms, clicking had the highest frequency (23.3%) followed by deviation on mouth opening (10.6%), pain at the mouth opening (2.9%), tenderness on palpation (1.4%), trismus (1.2%), and crepitus (1.1%). Of patients, 76.7% were Class I, 13.8% were Class II, and 6.2% were Class III. Less than 2% of patients had deep bite, open bite, or cross bite. Conclusion: TMDs had a relatively high prevalence (35%) in our study population. Age, gender, and class of malocclusion had no correlation with TMDs; however, Class II malocclusion was slightly more prevalent among TMD patients, which needs to be taken into account by patients and orthodontists.
