ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Compreender a visão do familiar ao assumir o papel de cuidador de um ente em paliação. Método: Estudo exploratório e descritivo de abordagem qualitativa, realizado com 27 familiares cuidadores de pacientes com diagnóstico oncológico acompanhados num ambulatório de uma cidade de grande porte no estado de Pernambuco. Os dados foram coletados usando a entrevista semiestruturada e organizados no Software IRaMuTeQ®, considerando a Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin, possibilitando assim a sua análise e discussão à luz da Teoria de Enfermagem Humanística. Resultados: Foi possível inferir que os familiares têm conhecimento sobre o diagnóstico de câncer; conhecem os riscos da doença e tratamento e, demonstram resiliência e altruísmo ao prestar os cuidados com amor e afeto. Reconhecem que para uma boa adesão ao tratamento, paciente e família precisam se sentirem acolhidos por toda equipe, com ênfase na equipe de enfermagem. Considerações finais: Possibilita refletir sobre a importância do familiar no processo de tratamento, e aponta para a necessidade de que a equipe esclareça sobre as mudanças que este familiar enfrentará no processo de cuidar, assim como de que seja dada visibilidade ao que são os cuidados paliativos, de modo a proporcional alívio ao sofrimento do paciente e família.


Objective: To understand the view of the family member when assuming the role of caregiver of a person undergoing palliation. Method: Exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative approach, carried out with 27 family caregivers of patients with an oncological diagnosis followed at an outpatient clinic in a large city in the state of Pernambuco. Data were collected using semistructured interviews and organized in the IRaMuTeQ® Software, considering Bardin's Content Analysis Technique, thus enabling its analysis and discussion in the light of the Humanistic Nursing Theory. Results: It was possible to infer that family members are aware of the cancer diagnosis; they know the risks of the disease and treatment and demonstrate resilience and altruism when providing care with love and affection. They recognize that for good adherence to treatment, the patient and family need to feel welcomed by the entire team, with an emphasis on the nursing team. Final considerations: It makes it possible to reflect on the importance of the family member in the treatment process, and points to the need for the team to clarify the changes that this family member will face in the care process, as well as to give visibility to what palliative care is, in order to provide relief in the suffering of the patient and family.

ABSTRACT

Plant tissue culture has emerged as an important tool to produce bioactive compounds from various plant species, including the sustainable production of limonoids that are receiving considerable attention due to the benefits associated with human health such as anticancer activities. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the capacity of limonoids aglycone production from callus culture from sweet orange cv. Pera (Citrus sinensis) seeds and identify the compounds produced in this cell line. Callus induction occurred in Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D), malt extract, agar and coconut water. For the analysis and identification of the limonoids, CG-MS-EI ion-positive mode and UPLC-QTOF-ESI were used operating in positive and negative mode. An intense peak corresponding to limonin appeared in the callus extracts at a retention time of 58.1 min. in CG-MS-EI and four major limonoids aglycone by positive ion mode UPLC-QTOF-ESI: limonin, nomilin, deacetylnomilin, and nomilinic acid. The culture medium was efficient at the bioproduction of limonoids aglycone in callus cultures of C. sinensis seeds. Therefore, data obtained from UPLC-QTOF-ESI proved its importance at identifying new compounds that benefit human health, and may assist future work in the identification of known or new limonoids in Citrus species and related genera.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study reports the action of essential oils (EO) from five plants on the activity of native and recombinant acetylcholinesterases (AChE) from Rhipicephalus microplus. Enzyme activity of native susceptible AChE extract (S.AChE), native resistant AChE extract (R.AChE), and recombinant enzyme (rBmAChE1) was determined. An acetylcholinesterase inhibition test was used to verify the effect of the EO on enzyme activity. EO from Eucalyptus globulus, Citrus aurantifolia, Citrus aurantium var.dulcis inhibited the activity of S.AChE and R.AChE. Oils from the two Citrus species inhibited S.AChE and R.AChE in a similar way while showing greater inhibition on R.AChE. The oil from E. globulus inhibited native AChE, but no difference was observed between the S.AChE and R.AChE; however, 71% inhibition for the rBmAChE1 was recorded. Mentha piperita oil also inhibited S.AChE and R.AChE, but there was significant inhibition at the highest concentration tested. Cymbopogon winterianus oil did not inhibit AChE. Further studies are warranted with the oils from the two Citrus species that inhibited R.AChE because of the problem with R. microplus resistant to organophosphates, which target AChE. C. winterianus oil can be used against R. microplus populations that are resistant to organophosphates because its acaricidal properties act by mechanism(s) other than AChE inhibition.


Resumo Este estudo relata a ação de óleos essenciais de cinco plantas na atividade de acetilcolinesterases (AChE) nativas e recombinantes de Rhipicephalus microplus. A atividade enzimática do extrato de acetilcolinesterase nativa suscetível (S.AChE) e resistente (R.AChE) e da enzima recombinante (rBmAChE1) foi determinada. Um teste de inibição da AChE foi utilizado, para verificar o efeito dos óleos essenciais sobre a atividade enzimática. Óleos essenciais de Eucalyptus globulus, Citrus aurantifolia, Citrus aurantium var. dulcis inibiram a atividade de S.AChE e R.AChE. Os óleos das duas espécies de Citrus inibiram S.AChE e R.AChE de maneira semelhante, mas mostraram maior inibição sobre R.AChE. O óleo de E. globulus inibiu a AChE nativa, mas sem diferença entre a S.AChE e a R.AChE; no entanto, 71% de inibição para rBmAChE1 foi observada. O óleo de Mentha piperita também inibiu S.AChE e R.AChE, mas houve inibição significativa apenas nas concentrações mais altas testadas. O óleo de Cymbopogon winterianus não inibiu a AChE. Estudos adicionais são necessários com os óleos das duas espécies de Citrus que inibiram a R.AchE, devido ao problema de R. microplus resistente aos organofosforados ter como alvo AChE. O óleo de C. winterianus pode ser usado contra populações de R. microplus, que são resistentes a organofosforados, porque suas propriedades acaricidas agem por mecanismos diferentes.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar, in vitro, a dureza superficial e profunda de dois tipos diferentes de resina composta, quandoem contato com o cimento de óxido de zinco e eugenol (IRM®). Métodos: foram selecionadas as resinasCharisma® e Vittra® e confeccionados 80 corpos de prova, sendo 40 para cada marca de compósito, queforam divididos em oito grupos (n=10) conforme o contato (imediato, 7 dias, 14 dias) ou não (grupo controle)com o eugenol. Colocou-se num pote dappen uma porção de IRM e um espécime de resina pronto, que,após a presa do material restaurador temporário e a remoção do exemplar colocado, gerou o molde pararealização das amostras em contato com o eugenol, sendo armazenado em água em temperatura ambiente,para os subgrupos 7 e 14 dias. Em sequência, foi inserido um único incremento de resina composta e polimerizadopor 40 segundos, gerando os espécimes que foram armazenados em local seco para serem submetidosao teste de microdureza Vickers sob uma carga de 300 gramas, com tempo de penetração de 10 segundos.Os dados obtidos foram analisados pelo teste ANOVA, a um nível de significância de p<0,05. Resultados:somente o grupo da resina Charisma® que teve contato imediato com eugenol não atingiu 80% de durezaprofunda em relação à superficial. Entretanto, para todos os grupos analisados, tanto a dureza superficialquanto a profunda aumentaram após o contato com o eugenol em relação ao grupo controle. Conclusão: oeugenol não influenciou negativamente a dureza das resinas compostas.(AU)


Objective: to evaluate, in vitro, the superficial and deep hardness of two different types of composite resin when in contact with zinc oxide eugenol cement (IRM). Method: Charisma® and Vittra® resins were selected and 80 specimens were made, 40 for each composite brand that were divided into eight groups (n = 10) according to contact (immediate, 7 days, 14 days) or no (control group) with eugenol. A portion of IRM and a ready-made resin specimen were placed in a dappen pot, which after setting the temporary restorative material and removing the placed specimen, generated the template for making the samples in contact with eugenol, being stored in water in room temperature for subgroups 7 and 14 days. In sequence, a single increment of composite was inserted and polymerized resin for 40 seconds, generating specimens that were stored in a dry place to be submitted to the Vickers microhardness test under a load of 300 grams, with a penetration time of 10 seconds. The data obtained were analyzed by the ANOVA test, at a significance level of p <0.05. Results: only the Charisma® resin group that had immediate contact with eugenol did not reach 80% deep hardness in relation to superficial hardness. However, for all groups analyzed, both superficial and deep hardness increased after contact with eugenol compared to the control group. Conclusion: eugenol did not negatively influence the hardness of composite resins.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the behavior of a resin-based 2,2-bis (p-[2′-hydroxy-3′-methacryloxypropoxy] phenylene) propane and a composite resin modified with oxirane, regarding the ability of marginal sealing, both with direct restorations and indirect restorations. Materials and Methods: To achieve this, mesio- and disto-occlusal cavities were made on the same tooth, totalling 100 cavities. These cavities were restored with two materials, Filtek P90 (3M ESPE) and Opallis (FGM). Then, they were divided into two groups: Fifty direct restorations, each sample restored with the two materials, following the manufacturer's protocol and fifty indirect restorations, and then cemented with a paste obtained by diluting the resin in its adhesive. The templates were thermally cycled, 30 s at 5°C and 30 s at 55°C for 500 cycles and then were immersed in methylene blue for 24 h. Afterward, they were trimmed using a plaster trimmer from occlusal toward a gingival direction. These samples were analyzed with stereomicroscope (×3) by two blinded observers. Then, a system which considers the average number of surrounding walls that have suffered infiltration on a scale of 0–3 was used. Results: Data were subjected to statistical analysis (Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests) with a significance level of 5% maximum. Conclusion: It was concluded that the indirect restorations showed the greatest number of restorations with score 0 and 1 (34) and lowest score 2 and 3 (16). This suggests that indirect restorations regardless of the material used behaved more effectively regarding the marginal sealing of restorations.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Ozonization is an alternative sterilization process for heat-sensitive medical devices. However, the side effects of this process on packaging materials should be verified. Methods Four types of commercial disposable packaging for medical devices were evaluated after undergoing ozone sterilization: crepe paper sheet, non-woven fabric sheet (SMS), medical grade paper-plastic pouch and Tyvec©-plastic pouch. For each material, the gas penetration through the microbiological barrier was measured. Other packaging properties, such as chemical composition, color, tactile and mechanical resistance, were also evaluated after sterilization, by using characterization techniques, namely microbiological indicators, infrared spectroscopy, tensile test and optical microscopy. Results All commercial disposable packaging showed good ozone penetration. Crepe paper and SMS were chemically and mechanically modified by ozone, while Tyvec© only suffered mechanical modification. Paper-plastic pouch was the packaging material which just experienced an acceptable reduction in tensile resistance, showing no variations on chemical or visual properties. Conclusion The results suggest that medical grade paper-plastic pouch is the most appropriate disposable medical device packaging to be sterilized by ozone when compared to other materials.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Various works have shown that diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings are able to improve the cells adhesion on prosthesis material and also cause protection against the physical wear. On the other hand there are reports about the effect of substrate polishing, in evidence of that roughness can enhance cell adhesion. In order to compare and quantify the joint effects of both factors, i.e, polishing and DLC coating, a commonly prosthesis material, the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, was used as raw material for substrates in our studies of macrophage cell adhesion rate on rough and polished samples, coated and uncoated with DLC. Methods The films were produced by PECVD technique on Ti-6Al-4V substrates and characterized by optical profilometry, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The amount of cells was measured by particle analysis in IMAGE J software. Cytotoxicity tests were also carried out to infer the biocompatibility of the samples. Results The results showed that higher the surface roughness of the alloy, higher are the cells fixing on the samples surface, moreover group of samples with DLC favored the cell adhesion more than their respective uncoated groups. The cytotoxity tests confirmed that all samples were biocompatible independently of being polished or coated with DLC. Conclusion From the observed results, it was found that the rougher substrate coated with DLC showed a higher cell adhesion than the polished samples, either coated or uncoated with the film. It is concluded that the roughness of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy and the DLC coating act complementary to enhance cell adhesion.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo tem como objetivo principal avaliar a implementação do Projeto RS Amigo do Idoso em três municípios do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, entre os anos de 2008 e 2010. Nosso trabalho, ao proceder à avaliação da instauração do projeto em tela, estará produzindo condições para que se compreendam melhor os mecanismos envolvidos na execução de ações de política pública. Nossa hipótese de trabalho postula que não houve eficácia nem eficiência na implantação desta política, uma vez que o Projeto não trouxe contribuição significativa para solucionar um problema público, qual seja, o envelhecimento acelerado da população. A metodologia utilizada foi a análise documental, a partir dos dados apresentados nos documentos oficiais, como os relatórios dos grupos focais, os planos municipais e os relatórios apresentados após um ano de início da execução do projeto, bem como entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas aos gestores do projeto analisado, articuladas à bibliografia especializada.


This article has as main objective to evaluate the RS elderly friend project implement in three counties in Rio Grande do Sul state between 2008 and 2010. Our study related to evaluate the project implement on a screen, will be producing conditions to understand better the involved mechanisms on public policy actions. Our study hypothesis holds that there were not efficacy nor efficiency, in this policy implement, since the project didn’t provide meaningful contribution to solve a public problem, it means, the fast aging of the population. The used methodological procedures were document analysis, from the data presented in official documents, such as reports from certain groups, municipal plans and the reports presented after a year starting this project, as well as semi-structured interview applied to the managers of the analyzed project articulated to the bibliography.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo principal deste artigo é construir um referencial teórico preliminar que possibilite a compreensão das razões que podem determinar o desempenho satisfatório das instituições de saúde no Brasil, particularmente o do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A hipótese teórica, a partir dos estudos de Putnam (2005), é de que o acúmulo de Capital Social (CS) em determinada sociedade está positivamente relacionado à capacidade de os governos atenderem e realizarem as demandas da população. Em outras palavras, os níveis de solidariedade e de confiança interpessoais e a existência de organizações sociais são elementos colaborativos para o desempenho das instituições políticas. O CS, na área da saúde, funcionaria como elemento de impacto positivo, não somente pelo fato de proporcionar uma vida mais saudável para as populações, reduzindo a exclusão social e aumentando a longevidade e a autoestima, mas também por ter um papel fundamental no estímulo da participação da comunidade tanto na formulação de políticas públicas como no seu controle social, o que possibilitaria o melhor funcionamento das instituições. Nesse sentido, utilizamos os dados de pesquisa quantitativa aplicados em usuários do SUS em duas cidades do Rio Grande do Sul (Caxias e Pelotas).


The main objective of this paper is to construct a preliminary theoretical framework that enables the understanding of the reasons that may determine the satisfactory performance of health institutions in Brazil, particularly that of the National Health System (SUS). Based on the study of Putnam (2005), the theoretical hypothesis is that the accumulation of Social Capital (SC) in a certain society is positively related to the governments' ability to meet the population's demands. In other words, the levels of interpersonal solidarity and trust and the existence of social organizations collaborate with the performance of the political organizations. In the health area, SC would work as an element of positive impact, not only because it offers a healthier life to populations, reducing social exclusion and increasing longevity and self-esteem, but also because it plays a fundamental role in the stimulation to community's participation, both in the formulation of public policies and in their social control, which would enable the better functioning of the institutions. In this sense, we used data from a quantitative research study applied to SUS users in two cities of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Caxias and Pelotas).
