ABSTRACT

Abstract Epiphysiolysis is a relatively common disease in the adolescent population (9-16 years); however, it is rare in the adult population. It is characterized by non-traumatic proximal femur slipping. When it occurs in this population it is associated with some disease that slows sexual development and physis closure, such as endocrine diseases or brain tumors. The aim of the present study is to report a case of epiphysiolysis in a 22-year-old patient with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. There are only 63 cases reported in the world literature on epiphysiolysis in the adult population.


Resumo A epifisiólise é uma doença relativamente comum na população adolescente (de 9-16 anos), entretanto rara na população adulta. Se caracteriza pelo escorregamento metáfiso-epifisário do fêmur proximal não-traumático. Quando ocorre nessa população, está associada a alguma doença que retarda o desenvolvimento sexual e fechamento fisário, como doenças endocrinológicas ou tumores cerebrais. O objetivo do presente estudo é relatar um caso de epifisiólise numa paciente com 22 anos de idade e hipogonadismo hipogonadotrófico. Existem apenas 63 casos relatados na literatura mundial sobre epifisiólise na população adulta.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the perceptions of students and teachers regarding remote teaching modality in comparison with the traditional face-to-face method. Methods In this observational, retrospective, comparative, single-center study, questionnaires containing three major assessment domains were sent to two groups: university professors and undergraduate and graduate students. The first domain collected demographic and general data on the platforms used. The second and third domains contained questions that compared the perception of the quality of information offered by the two systems. Results Between May and September 2020, 162 students and 71 teachers participated in the study. A greater proportion of students demonstrated previous contact with the online method, while professors had presented a greater number of courses. Most participants reported that their expectations regarding the remote teaching method were met (students, 80.3%; teachers, 94.4%). A significant number of students (83.3%) and teachers (88.7%) rated the classes as easier to attend and manage. Despite difficulties, such as concentration retention, most of the participants agree (at least partially) that the format should be maintained. Conclusion The remote teaching methodology, although still incipient in Brazil, has become a reality in light of current health restrictions. Our study demonstrated a high level of overall satisfaction and a high sense of learning from both students and faculty. However, new challenges associated with this system have been identified, such as retention of attention and interference from the external environment. Longitudinal comparative studies that incorporate various aspects of medical education in all cycles are necessary to corroborate the findings of this study. Design Retrospective comparative study, level III evidence.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective The present paper evaluates the resuming of physical activities by young, active patients who practiced some sport modality and underwent a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) using the opening wedge technique. Methods A total of 12 patients submitted to HTO using the opening wedge technique were prospectively analyzed. All patients were not playing sports at that time. Pre- and postoperative Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores, visual analog scale for pain and performance level were compared. The average follow-up time was of 12 months. Results One patient resumed sporting activities at a performance level significantly lower compared to the preoperative level, while eight patients returned at a slightly below level, two returned at the same level and one patient returned at a higher level in comparison with the preoperative period. Conclusion For isolated medial osteoarthrosis treatment, HTO using the opening wedge technique has favorable clinical and functional results, allowing patients to resume their sporting activities.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to quantify the urinary concentration of the C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type-II collagen (CTX-II) biomarker in patients who suffered an isolated ACL injury, and to compare the concentrations found in this population with a control group of patients with no metabolic changes in the knee that could lead to cartilage degeneration. Methods A cross-sectional pilot study was performed in two groups: patients with ACL tears and a control group (each group with 10 male subjects, with an age range between 18 and 35 years, and body mass index below 30 kg/m2). In both groups, urine concentrations of a biomarker related to the degradation of type-II collagen (CTX-II) was measured. For the group with ACL tears, a temporal relationship between the time after the injury and the amount of the biomarker was also examined. Results There were significant differences in the concentrations of urinary CTX-II between the ACL group and the control group (p = 0.009). No significant relationship was observed between the time after the injury and the quantity of the biomarker. Conclusions Patients with ACL injury had higher concentrations of urinary CTX-II biomarker than those with no ACL injury (p = 0.009). However, there was no correlation between the concentration of this biomarker and the elapsed time after the injury (p≥ 0.05).


Resumo Objetivo Quantificar a concentração urinária do biomarcador telopeptídeo C de ligação cruzada de colágeno de tipo II (C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type-II collagen, CTX-II) em casos de lesão isolada do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA), e comparar as concentrações observadas nessa população com um grupo controle composto por pacientes sem alterações metabólicas no joelho que possam levar à degeneração da cartilagem. Métodos Este é um estudo piloto transversal com dois grupos: pacientes com ruptura do LCA e grupo controle (cada grupo era composto por 10 indivíduos do sexo masculino, com 18 a 35 anos de idade, e índice de massa corporal inferior a 30 kg/m2). Nos dois grupos, as concentrações urinárias de um biomarcador relacionado à degradação do colágeno de tipo II (CTX-II) foram medidas. No grupo com ruptura do LCA, a relação entre o tempo pós-lesão e a quantidade do biomarcador também foi analisada. Resultados Houve diferenças significativas nas concentrações urinárias de CTX-II entre o grupo LCA e o grupo controle (p = 0,009). Não foi observada relação significativa entre o tempo de lesão e a quantidade do biomarcador. Conclusões Pacientes com lesão do LCA apresentaram maiores concentrações urinárias do biomarcador CTX-II do que aqueles sem lesão do LCA (p = 0,009). No entanto, não houve correlação entre a concentração desse biomarcador e o tempo decorrido após a lesão (p≥ 0,05).

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Complications in the recent postoperative period of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are common. Among them, pain, hemarthrosis, and difficulty of complete range of motion. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of the intra-articular carboxymethylcellulose ­ polysaccharide B bicomponent shortly after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, and to compare the results obtained for pain control, hemarthrosis, and knee range of motion with a control group. Materials and methods: randomized, and prospective clinical trial of thirty-two patients divided into two groups: reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with an intra-articular injection of a bicomponent carboxymethylcellulose-polysaccharide B (n = 16) and without the bicomponent (n = 16). Pain, hemarthrosis and knee range of motion were evaluated in the first postoperative week. Results: the group with bicomponent presented less pain on the third (p = 0.017) and fifth (p = 0.029) postoperative day when compared to the control group. Hemarthrosis was significantly lower on the first postoperative day (p = 0.001), and there was a significant improvement in the range of motion on the seventh day of surgery (p = 0.008) in this same group. Conclusions: the use of intra-articular carboxymethylcellulose-polysaccharide B showed superior results for pain control, hemarthrosis, and gain in the knee range of motion in the recent postoperative period (up to seven days) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, when compared to patients from the control group

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To provide an analysis of the 50 most cited articles on knee surgery in the Brazilian medical literature. Methods: This is a study of systematic review and meta-analysis, level of evidence 3. It was carried out through search in the SCOPUS database to identify scientific articles published in the Brazilian medical literature. Eighty-six Brazilian journals were analyzed, and articles with ten or more citations and which had the word "joelho" or "knee" in the title, abstract or keywords were selected. Results: All articles were published as of the year 2000 in 14 journals. The Journal Clinics presented the largest number of publications, followed by Acta Ortopédica Brasileira. The main focus of the studies was on anatomy and biomechanics, mainly from Brazilian authors. Most of the authors were Brazilian, from Brazilian and public research institutions. Conclusion: Biometric analysis has been gaining ground in recent years, but its interpretation must consider various aspects related to the paramount analytical importance.


RESUMO Objetivo: Fornecer uma análise dos cinquenta artigos mais citados sobre cirurgia do joelho na literatura médica brasileira. Métodos: Foi utilizada a base de dados da SCOPUS para identificar artigos científicos publicados na literatura médica brasileira de 1945 a junho de 2008 com o tema referente ao joelho. Foram analisados 86 periódicos brasileiros e selecionados os artigos com número de citações igual ou superior a dez que possuíam a palavra "joelho" ou knee no título, resumo ou palavras-chave. Foram selecionados aqueles que possuíam a articulação do joelho como foco principal do estudo, chegando ao resultado final de cinquenta artigos mais citados. Resultados: Todos os artigos foram publicados a partir do ano 2000, em quatorze revistas. A Revista Clinics apresentou maior número de publicações, seguida da Acta Ortopédica Brasileira. A maior parte foi sobre estudos sobre anatomia e biomecânica, preponderamente de autores brasileiros. Instituições de pesquisa brasileiras e públicas foram as responsáveis pela maior parte das pesquisas. Conclusão: Análise biométrica vem ganhando espaço nos últimos anos, contudo sua interpretação deve considerar variados aspectos relacionados a importância analítica.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical results, functional outcomes, and risk factors after anatomic reconstructions using knee flexor grafts in athletes. Methods The authors followed-up 32 patients and 34 knees for 1 year in a prospective design case series evaluating pre- and postoperative functional scores (Kujala and Lysholm) and associated risk factors. Results All of the 32 patients had a significant increase of the Lysholm and Kujala scores. Patients with < 5 preoperative dislocations had a better score on the Lysholm and Kujala scales. The mean preoperative Lysholm score was 62.8, and the mean postoperative score was 94.3. The mean preoperative Kujala score was 63.0, and the mean postoperative score was 94.0. Conclusion Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction with hamstring graft in athletes with patellar instability improved clinical and functional scores. The bone drilling through the patella and the positioning of the femoral tunnel should be judiciously performed.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: Perform the preoperative measurement of the hamstring tendons using ultrasound imaging, validating and correlating the measured value with that found during surgical reconstruction of the ligament. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 24 patients who underwent ultrasonographic measurement of the semitendinosus and gracilis muscle tendons and were subsequently submitted to surgical reconstruction of the ACL, with ipsilateral semitendinosus and gracilis tendon grafting. Results: The patients' ages ranged from 16 to 43 years, with a mean of 24.8 years (SD = 8.4 years), 79.2% were men, and the distribution by side was 41.7% right knees and 58.3% left knees. A non-significant correlation coefficient was found between the area calculated by ultrasound (2 × semitendinosus area + 2 × gracilis area) and the intraoperative measurement (r = 0.16; p = 0.443). No evidence of a difference between intraoperative measurements <8 mm and ≥8 mm was found for the area calculated by the ultrasound (p = 0.746). The difference observed between the groups was −0.01 (95% CI: −0.09 to 0.07). Conclusion: Preoperative ultrasound imaging of the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons does not present a statistically significant correlation with the intraoperative measurement of the quadruple hamstring graft for ligament reconstruction.


RESUMO Objetivo: Fazer a mensuração pré-operatória dos tendões flexores do joelho com o uso do exame de ultrassonografia, validar e correlacionar o valor medido com aquele encontrado durante a reconstrução cirúrgica do ligamento. Métodos: Estudo transversal com 24 pacientes submetidos a mensuração ultrassonográfica dos tendões dos músculos semitendíneo e grácil e posteriormente submetidos a reconstrução cirúrgica do LCA, com enxerto ipsilateral dos tendões semitendíneo e grácil do próprio paciente. Resultados: A idade dos pacientes variou entre 16 e 43 anos, com média de 24,8 (DP = 8,4), 79,2% eram homens e a distribuição quanto ao lado foi de 41,7% joelhos direitos e 58,3% joelhos esquerdos. Foi encontrado coeficiente de correlação não significante entre a área calculada a partir do ultrassom (2 × área do semitendíneo + 2 × área do grácil) e a medida obtida intraoperatoriamente (r = 0,16, p = 0,443). Não foi encontrada evidência de diferença entre medidas intraoperatórias < 8 mm e ≥ 8 mm quanto à área calculada a partir do ultrassom (p = 0,746). A diferença observada entre os grupos foi de -0,01 (IC 95%: -0,09 a 0,07). Conclusão: A mensuração pré-operatória por método de imagem ultrassonográfico dos tendões dos músculos semitendíneo e grácil não apresenta correlação estatisticamente significante com a mensuração intraoperatória do enxerto quádruplo de flexores para reconstrução ligamentar.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper was to study and optimize the dynamic maceration process to obtain Matricaria chamomilla L., Asteraceae, inflorescences extracts with optimum flavonoid content and antioxidant activity using a multivariate approach. Hydroalcoholic extracts were obtained by dynamic maceration in lab scale and the influence of extraction temperature, ratio of plant to solvent, ethanol strength; extraction time and stirring speed on the flavonoid content and antioxidant activity were unveiled using a fractional factorial design. The ethanol strength, ratio of plant to solvent and temperature were the three factors that influenced most the extract properties and were studied by a central composite design. Total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity were affected by the ethanol strength and ranged from 1.49 to 3.95% and 13.3 to 36.2 µg/ml, respectively. The desirability functions resulted in an optimal dynamic maceration condition using 1 h extraction at stirring speed of 900 rpm, ethanol 74.7%, temperature of 69 °C and using 36.8% of plant in solvent (w/v). Under this set of conditions, the extract had total flavonoid content of 4.11 ± 0.07%, in vitro antioxidant activity with IC50 of 18.19 µg/ml and apigenin and apigenin-7-glycoside contents of 2.0 ± 0.1 mg/g and 20.1 ± 0.9 mg/g, respectively. The results showed a low solvent consumption compared to previous works. The model was able to predict extract properties with maximum deviation of 12% and the extraction process developed herein showed to be reliable, efficient and scalable for M. chamomilla inflorescences, enriched with flavonoids, apigenin and apigenin-7-glycoside and high antioxidant activity.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the safety of a topical formulation containing chamomile microparticles coated with chitosan in the skin of healthy participants. Method: phase I blind, controlled, non-randomized, single-dose clinical trial with control for skin, base formulation, and formulation with microparticles. The variables analyzed were irritation and hydration by the Wilcoxon and Kruskall-Wallis tests. Results: the study started with 35 participants with a mean age of 26.3 years. Of these, 30 (85.71%) were female, 29 (82.90%) were white skinned and 32 (91.40%) had no previous pathologies. One participant was removed from the study reporting erythema at the site of application, and four other participants for not attending the last evaluation. In the 30 participants who completed the study, the tested formulation did not cause erythema, peeling, burning, pruritus or pain; there was an improvement in cutaneous hydration in the site of application of the formulation with microparticles. In the evaluation of the barrier function, there was an increase in transepidermal water loss in all sites. Conclusion: the formulation with chamomile microparticles is safe for topical use, not causing irritation and improving skin hydration over four weeks of use. Its effects on barrier function need further investigation. No. RBR-3h78kz in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC).

ABSTRACT

Reconstruir ou embelezar sorrisos sempre foi uma tarefa difícil, uma vez que a estética depende muito de critérios objetivos e subjetivos. Para facilitar esse trabalho surgiram facetas ou lâminas cerâmicas e de resinas compostas, excelentes alternativas de reabilitação estética, porém requerem muita habilidade do cirurgião dentista (diretas) ou de um técnico de laboratório (indiretas), consumindo muito tempo ou gerando um alto custo operacional. Para superar essas dificuldades, fabricantes colocam à disposição facetas pré-fabricadas de resina composta de cores e tamanhos pré-estabelecidos, obedecendo os mais altos padrões estéticos. Este trabalho aborda de forma despretensiosa essa nova classe de materiais estéticos, bem como ilustra passo a passo um caso clínico, enaltecendo as facilidades e a praticidade da técnica.


Reconstruction or remodeling of a natural smile is still a challenge, since aesthetics depends on objective and subjective criteria. Ceramic laminate veneers and composite veneers are excellent alternatives to aesthetic rehabilitation. However, they require high skills of the dentist or of the lab technician, which may delay the final result or increase costs. To overcome these difficulties, manufacturers have launched prefabricated composite laminate veneers, with different colors and sizes as well as appropriate aesthetic proportions. This paper has the intention to approach this new modality of treatment as well as to show a clinical case step-by-step, reinforcing raves of the technique

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The present cross-sectional study aims to identify the most common knee injuries in athletes cared at a Specialized Outpatient Clinics. METHOD: Analysis of patients cared at the Knee Outpatient Clinics of a Sports Trauma Center, divided by gender, age and diagnosed injury. RESULTS: Initially 440 patients were divided into 33 types of sports; after excluding the less statistically significant practices, nine sports remained. The most frequently performed sports were football with almost 50% of total patients presenting anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and road runs with great frequency of meniscal injury. There was no correlation of the disorder with the type of sports performed but a correlation was found with patient's age/gender. CONCLUSION: The complete ACL rupture was the most common injury found in football, basketball and volleyball players, followed by meniscal injury in street runners. Level of Evidence IV, Study Transversal. .

ABSTRACT

A sepse é um dos mais graves problemas de saúde pública mundial, apresentando uma estimativa de 19 milhões de casos por ano. [...] A disfunção no sistema nervoso central se manifesta tipicamente por delirium, déficit de atenção e dano cognitivo. As estatinas são fármacos que têm a capacidade de bloquear a enzima HMG-CoA redutase,reduzindo a síntese de colesterol endógeno. Recentemente, foi observado que asestatinas, apresentam efeitos anti-inflamatórios, com potencial para prevenir a disfunção cerebral em modelo experimental de malária cerebral. Objetivamos neste estudo avaliar a capacidade do tratamento das estatinas em reduzir a neuroinflamação e proteger do dano cognitivo no modelo (ISC) de sepse. Para isso,foi coletado o conteúdo cecal, diluído em solução salina, e centrifugado, sendo sobrenadante recolhido para administração nos animais por via (i.p.) na dose de 5mg/g (0,5 mL) (n = 5-8/grupo). Os controles receberam 0,5 mL de solução salina. Os animais foram tratados 6, 24 e 48 h após a indução da sepse com imipenem (30mg/kg de peso corporal, por via subcutânea – s.c.) e 1,0 ml de solução salina (s.c.).As estatinas (atorvastatina e sinvastatina) foram administrados v.o. 1 hora antes e 6,24 e 48 h após a infecção (20 mg/kg). A mortalidade foi observada por 96 h e um escore de gravidade avaliado. O perfil de citocinas inflamatórias, o dano oxidativo e os níveis de mieloperoxidase foram determinados em 6 e 24 h.

Sepsis is one of the most serious problems in worldwide public health, with anestimated 19 million cases a year. [...] Thedysfunction in the central nervous system (CNS) is typically manifested by delirium,cognitive impairment and attention deficit. The statins are drugs with the ability toinhibit the HMG-CoA reductase enzymatic activity, reducing endogenous cholesterolsynthesis. Recently, it was observed that statins have anti-inflammatory effects, withthe potential to prevent brain dysfunction in an experimental model of cerebralmalaria. We aimed in this study to evaluate the capacity of statins to reduceneuroinflammation and protect from cognitive impairment in an experimental modelof sepsis (CSI). For this purpose, the cecal content was collected, diluted in salinesolution and centrifuged, and the supernatant collected for administration in animals(i.p.) at a dose of 5 mg/g (0.5 mL) (n= 5-8/grupo). The controls received 0.5 mL ofsaline. The animals received antibiotic therapy 6, 24 and 48 hours after induction ofsepsis with imipenem (30 mg/kg, subcutaneously - s.c.) and 1.0 ml of saline (s.c.).Statins (atorvastatin and simvastatin) were administered orally 1 h before and 6, 24and 48 h post-infection (20 mg/kg). Mortality was observed for 96 h and a clinicalscore reported. The profile of cytokines, oxidative stress and myeloperoxidase levelswere determined at 6 and 24 h. Moreover, adhesion and rolling of leukocytes inbrain, microglial activation, dysfunction of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and vascularchanges in the cerebral microcirculation were assessed. After 15 days we analyzedthe cognitive impairment using behavioral tests of inhibitory avoidance task andMorris Water Maze...

ABSTRACT

A demanda por estética e por restaurações que cada vez mais mimetizem as estruturas dentais levaram ao desenvolvimento de novos sistemas cerâmicos. Além de excelência estética, tais sistemas exibem excelentes propriedades mecânicas, o que amplia a gama de procedimentos aos quais podem ser aplicados. Atualmente, diversos materiais estão disponíveis, o que exige conhecimento por parte do profissional para uma adequada seleção. Dentro desse contexto, objetivou-se neste artigo realizar uma breve revisão sobre os atuais sistemas cerâmicos disponíveis no mercado e apresentar um relato de caso clínico com o sistema IPS e.max Press (Ivoclar Vivadent AG)


The demand for the aesthetic and restorative procedures that mimetize the dental structures, had lead to the development of new ceramic systems. Besides aesthetic excellency, such systems show excellent mechanical properties, that extend the gamma of procedures which can be applied. Nowadays, as diverse materials are avaiable, the adequate selection demands knowledge of the professionals. The objective of this article is to review the ceramic systems available on the market and show a clinical case with one of them, the system IPS e.max Press (Ivoclar Vivadent AG)

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: O tratamento e os desvios angulares tolerados nas fraturas diafisárias do antebraço em crianças evoca opiniões divergentes na literatura. Frente a esta indefinição, idealizamos este trabalho com o objetivo de avaliar transversalmente os métodos terapêuticos preferenciais para esta lesão durante o 39º Congresso Brasileiro de Ortopedia e Traumatologia. MÉTODO: Foram respondidos 759 questionários (13 por cento do total de inscritos). Abordamos os aspectos gerais da amostra estudada para traçar o perfil do ortopedista questionado. Foram expostas duas situações clínicas em indivíduos de 12 (CASO 1) e 5 anos (CASO 2), sendo apresentadas radiografias com fraturas do antebraço destes pacientes. Os dados obtidos foram compilados e submetidos à análise estatística. RESULTADO: O tratamento mais indicado no CASO 1 foi redução incruenta e fixação com fios de Kirschner (26 por cento), enquanto no CASO 2 foi redução incruenta seguida de aparelho gessado (46 por cento). CONCLUSÃO: Entre os ortopedistas com menos de 30 anos, a escolha por tratamentos menos invasivos e aceitação de maiores angulações prevaleceu para ambos os casos. Os traumatologistas aceitam menor angulação e tendem aos tratamentos invasivos, particularmente para o CASO 2. Já o ortopedista pediátrico opta por tratamentos menos invasivos e aceita maiores desvios angulares.


OBJECTIVE: The treatment and the angular deviations tolerated in diaphyseal forearm fractures in children evoke divergent opinions in literature. In view of this controversy, we idealized this study to evaluate the preferred treatment methods for this injury, during the 39th Brazilian Congress on Orthopedics and Traumatology. METHODS: A total 759 questionnaires were answered (13 percent of total entrants). We addressed the general aspects of the study sample to obtain a profile of the orthopedic surgeons questioned. RESULTS: Two clinical subjects were presented, aged 12 (CASE 1) and 5 years old (CASE 2), along with radiographs depicting forearm diaphyseal fractures of these patients. Data was gathered and submitted to statistical analysis. The overall preferred treatment in CASE 1 was closed reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires (26 percent), while in case 2 it was closed reduction followed by plaster cast (46 percent). CONCLUSION: Among orthopedic surgeons less than 30 years old, the choice for less invasive treatments and greater acceptance of angular values prevailed in both cases. The traumatologists accepted lower angular values and tended towards more invasive treatments, particularly for CASE 2. On the other hand, the pediatric orthopedic surgeon prefers less invasive treatments and accepts greater angular deviations.

ABSTRACT

Tanacetum parthenium (feverfew) is an herb that is commercialized worldwide as a therapeutic treatment for migraine. Its pharmacological effect is mainly due to the presence of the sesquiterpene lactone parthenolide as well as of flavonoids. So far, there are no studies on standardization of pre-formulations or phytomedicines containing this herb. The present study aimed at developing a pre-formulation using a standardized spray-dried extract of feverfew and further designing and standardizing enteric coated tablets. In this work, the spray-dried extract of feverfew was evaluated for its parthenolide, santin and total flavonoid content, parthenolide solubility, particle size, tapped density, hygroscopicity, angle of repose and moisture content. Tablets containing the spray-dried extract were tested for their average weight, friability, hardness, and disintegration time. The total flavonoid and parthenolide contents in the spray-dried extract were 1.31 percent and 0.76 percent w/w, respectively. The spray-dried extract presented consistent pharmacotechnical properties and allowed its tableting by direct compression. Tablet properties were in accordance with the proposed specifications. The procedures described herein can be used to prepare and evaluate pre-formulations of feverfew with adequate properties for the development of a high-quality phytomedicine.


Tanacetum parthenium (tanaceto) é uma planta medicinal comercializada no mundo todo para tratamento de enxaqueca. Seu efeito farmacológico é creditado principalmente à lactona sesquiterpênica partenolídeo e flavonóides. Até o momento não existem estudos sobre a padronização de pré-formulações ou o desenvolvimento de fitoterápicos com tanaceto. Logo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi obter comprimidos de revestimento entérico a partir de extrato seco e padronizado de tanaceto. Neste trabalho, o extrato seco do tanaceto obtido pelo método de spray drying foi avaliado quanto ao teor de partenolídeo, presença da santina, teor de flavonóides totais, solubilidade do partenolídeo, tamanho de partícula, ângulo de repouso, densidade, análise higroscópica e teor de umidade. A partir do extrato seco obtiveram-se comprimidos que foram revestidos em leito de jorro. Os comprimidos revestidos foram avaliados com relação ao peso médio, friabilidade, dureza e desintegração. O teor de flavonóides totais e de partenolídeo no extrato seco foram 1,31 por cento e 0,76 por cento (p/p), respectivamente. O extrato seco apresentou características farmacotécnicas satisfatórias permitindo a obtenção de comprimidos pelo método de compressão direta. As propriedades dos comprimidos revestidos estão de acordo com as especificações da literatura. Os procedimentos utilizados nesse trabalho podem ser utilizados para obter extrato seco e fitoterápicos de T. parthenium com alto padrão de qualidade.
