This study describes the histopathological effects of carbaryl in the spleen of Levantine frog, Pelophylax bedriage. Due to its primary role in immune system, it is important to research the toxic effects of pesticides, which play an important role in environmental pollution, on spleen. To that end, adult frogs were exposed to carbaryl for 96 h. Experimental groups contained low dose, (0.05 mg/g), medium dose (0.1 mg/g) and high dose (0.2 mg/g). After following exposure to carbaryl, the frogs were euthanised and dissected. In low-dose group, there were no important changes in spleen tissue. In medium-dose group, prominence in haemorrhage just below the capsule and an increase in the melanomacrophage number were determined. In high-dose group, in addition to increases in the melanomacrophages, separations in capsule, haemorrhage below capsule and within splenic tissue, sinusoidal enlargement, congestion in dilated sinusoid, hypertrophic plasma cells and fibrosis were determined as important histological lesions in exposed frogs. This study clearly showed that carbaryl caused important histopathological damages in splenic tissue of Pelophylax bedriagae. In view of these findings, it can be said that this insecticide has the capacity to disrupt spleen' functions.
本研究描述了甲萘威对东方铃蟾脾脏的组织病理学影响。由于脾脏在免疫系统中起着主要作用,因此研究农药对脾脏的毒性作用非常重要,而农药在环境污染中起着重要作用。为此,成年青蛙被暴露于甲萘威中 96 小时。实验组包含低剂量(0.05mg/g)、中剂量(0.1mg/g)和高剂量(0.2mg/g)。在接触甲萘威后,对青蛙进行安乐死并进行解剖。在低剂量组中,脾脏组织没有发生重要变化。在中剂量组中,发现囊下的出血和黑色素巨噬细胞数量的增加。在高剂量组中,除了黑色素巨噬细胞的增加之外,还发现囊的分离、囊下和脾脏组织内的出血、窦状间隙的扩大、扩张窦状的充血、肥大的浆细胞和纤维化等重要的组织病理学损伤。本研究清楚地表明,甲萘威对东方铃蟾的脾脏组织造成了重要的组织病理学损伤。鉴于这些发现,可以说这种杀虫剂具有破坏脾脏功能的能力。
