ABSTRACT
Abstract The objective of this article is to turn the practices used by Occupação Coletiva da Mamá Cultiva visible to advocate to the right to access health, which would be limited by a context of occupational apartheid. A qualitative research was carried out, with a phenomenological approach, in which the information is produced by semi-structured interviews and discussion groups, with 6 groups participants. The information obtained is organized through a categorical matrix and analyzed through simple categories. The main conclusion is that the resistance practices are strongly rooted in a collective identity. This is related to the shared experiences of group individuals, especially those associated with the experience of psychosocial suffering caused by stigmatization, criminalization and prevalent medicalization.
Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é tornar visíveis as práticas utilizadas pela Ocupação Coletiva da Mama Cultiva para exercer o direito à saúde, o que seria limitado por um contexto de apartheid ocupacional. Neste estudo optou-se por pesquisa qualitativa, com abordagem fenomenológica, na qual a informação é produzida por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupos de discussão, com 6 participantes do grupo. A informação obtida é ordenada através de uma matriz categorial e é analisada através de categorias simples. A principal conclusão é que as práticas de resistência estão fortemente enraizadas na identidade coletiva. Isto está relacionado às experiências compartilhadas pelos sujeitos do grupo, especialmente aqueles associados à experiência de sofrimento psicossocial causado pela estigmatização, criminalização e a medicalização prevalente.

ABSTRACT
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are inflammatory diseases with a multifactorial component that involve the intestinal tract. The two relevant IBD syndromes are Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). One factor involved in IBD development is a genetic predisposition, associated to NOD2/CARD15 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) polymorphisms that might favor infectious enterocolitis that is possibly associated to the development of IBD. The identification of specific immunologic alterations in IBD and their relationship to the etiology of the disease is a relevant research topic. The role of intra and extracellular molecules, such as transcription factors and cytokines that are involved in the inflammatory response, needs to be understood. The relevance of immunologic molecules that might drive the immune response to a T helper (Th) 1, Th 2 or the recently described Th 17 phenotype, has been demonstrated in animal models and clinical studies with IBD patients. CD and UC predominantly behave with a Th 1 and Th 2 immune phenotype, respectively. Recently, an association between CD and Th 17 has been reported. The knowledge acquired from immunologic and molecular research will help to develop accurate diagnostic methods and efficient therapies.
