Many methods are used to evaluate ischemia reperfusion injury, but the most employed one is the histological study. However, it only demonstrates on mucosal tunic, the index of lesion and morphologic preserved cells, but not the index of viable functional cells, present in the sample. With this purpose, a colorimetric method was used, employing Methyl Thiazolyl Blue (MTT). The experiment was conducted in 30 Wistar male rats, distributed in 3 groups: Group Control (GC), Group ischemia and reperfusion-1 (GIR-1) and Group ischemia and reperfusion-3 (GIR-3), with 10 animals each. The Groups GIR-1 and GIR-3 were submitted to intestinal ischemia for 30 minutes by a false ligature of superior mesenteric artery, and submitted to euthanasia after 1 and 3 days of reperfusion, when material was picked for absorbency and histological procedures. It was observed a smaller proportion of viable cells and a larger degree of mucosal lesion in GIR-3 group (p<0.05), while GC group was the one with the larger proportion of viable cells and smaller degree of the mucosal injury (p<0.05). This way we concluded that MTT is as effective and reliable as the histological study at evaluating alterations produced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion.

Gold has main application as adornment in jewelry pieces but in its pure state doesn’t have the hardness required for this use, being generally fused with other metals to form alloys. The aim of this research was to elaborate and characterize optical, structural and mechanical properties of gold alloys and introduce the use of intermetallic Au-20% Al, seeking to improve the production of jewelry industry. Four (4) gold alloys were prepared: one (1) intermetallic Au-20% Al violet colored and three (3) with usual coloration in jewelry manufacture (Au-25% Ag - light green, Au-12,5% Cu - red, Au-12,5% Ag-12,5% Cu - yellow). Au-20% Al alloy was produced in microproducers of the state of Pará workshops, while the others were fused in Materials Laboratory of Chemical Engineering School in Federal University of Pará (UFPA). The structural properties were analyzed by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed dendritic cell structure for Au-25% Ag and Au-12,5% Cu alloys, dendritic structure for Au-12,5% Ag-12,5% Cu alloy and cellular structure for Au-20% Al alloy. The mechanical properties were obtained through Vickers microhardness tests, evidencing the highest hardness for Au-20% Al alloy, intermetallic of AX2 type. The optical properties evaluated by colorimetric tests showed visible light spectrum in the range from violet color (Au-20% Al), greenish yellow (Au-25% Ag), red (Au-12,5% Cu) and yellow (Au-12,5% Ag-12,5% Cu).
