ABSTRACT

Resumo Estudo exploratório de abordagem qualitativa que buscou analisar os conhecimentos, percepções e práticas de equipes de Saúde Bucal e de agentes comunitários de saúde acerca das políticas públicas que regulamentam a utilização de plantas medicinais e fitoterápicos no contexto das práticas integrativas e complementares, incluindo sua incorporação, reconhecimento, desafios e possibilidades no cotidiano local do SUS. Foram selecionadas oito Unidades Básicas de Saúde no município de Itabuna, Bahia, Brasil, com a realização de entrevistas com oito cirurgiões-dentistas, oito auxiliares/técnicos de saúde bucal e oito agentes comunitários de saúde, totalizando 24 participantes. Para a análise da dados, empregou-se a técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Os conhecimentos, percepções e práticas dos atores envolvidos no estudo sobre as políticas públicas de inserção das plantas medicinais no SUS mostraram-se permeados pela cultura hegemônica, pela formação em saúde tradicional e fragmentada, pelo (des)interesse administrativo do município e por subjetividades individuais que são produzidas e reproduzidas nos serviços de saúde bucal da APS local.


Abstract This exploratory and qualitative study aimed to analyze the knowledge, perceptions and practices of Oral Health Teams and Community Health Agents about public health policies that regulate the use of medicinal plants and herbal medicines in the context of integrative and complementary practices, including their incorporation, recognition, challenges and possibilities in the local routine of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). Eight Basic Health Units were selected in the municipality of Itabuna, Bahia, Brazil, and interviews were conducted with 8 dentists, 8 oral health assistants/technicians and 8 community health agents, totaling 24 participants. For data analysis, the Collective Subject Discourse technique was used. The knowledge, perceptions and practices of the actors involved in the study about public policies for the introduction of medicinal plants in the SUS were permeated by the hegemonic culture, traditional and fragmented health education, the administrative (un)interest of the municipal authorities, and individual subjectivities that are produced and reproduced in the local oral health services and the primary care.

ABSTRACT

Ceratocystis cacaofunesta is the etiologic agent of "Ceratocystis wilt of cacao", an irreversible disease that affects the vascular system of the plant. The management of the disease is difficult and economic and alternative solutions are needed. The medicinal plants compounds are known to have antimicrobial activity, and they could be an alternative choice in the C. cacaofunesta control. Considering this, this work aimed to verify the in vitro antifungal activity of aqueous and alcoholic solutions of Adiantum latifolium leaves on C. cacaofunesta. Plant material was collected at Atlantic Forest biome in cacao cultivation area in South of Bahia state. Aqueous and ethanolic solutions were made by boiling and maceration in 70% ethanol, respectively. After filtration, they were added to culture medium at 1, 5 and 10% dilution. A 7 mm disc colony of C. cacaofunesta was inoculated in the middle of the well containing Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) and the mycelial growth was observed. Controls consisted on SDA with sterile water or 70% ethanol at the same dilution of treatments, and Tebuconazole at 4 µg.mL-1. Neither aqueous nor ethanolic solutions inhibited the mycelial growth. However, aqueous solution presence induced a higher mycelial growth rate. Conversely, aqueous solution treatment induced mycelial growth. Tebuconazole showed important mycelial growth inhibition and it could be considered in C. cacaofunesta propagation control in areas where genetic selection or handling management still fail.(AU)


A espécie Ceratocystis cacaofunesta é o agente etiológico do mal-do-facão, patogenia caracterizada por danos irreversíveis no sistema vascular da planta. O controle da doença é difícil e a busca por soluções alternativas e econômicas é necessária. Sabe-se que os compostos das plantas medicinais possuem atividade microbiana e podem ser uma opção alternativa no controle de C. cacaofunesta. Baseado nisso, esse trabalho se propôs a verificar in vitro o potencial antifúngico das soluções aquosa e alcóolica de Adiantum latifolium sobre C. cacaofunesta. O material vegetal foi coletado no bioma Mata Atlântica em área de plantio de cacau, no sul da Bahia. Solução aquosa foi obtida por decocção e solução etanólica por maceração em etanol 70%. As soluções foram filtradas e adicionadas ao meio de cultura em diluições de 1, 5 e 10%. Inocularam-se fragmentos de 7 mm de colônia de C. cacaofunesta no centro do meio de cultura contendo ágar Sabouraud dextrose (ASD) e se observou o crescimento do disco micelial. Os controles consistiram em SDA com água estéril ou etanol a 70% na mesma diluição de tratamentos e o antifúngico Tebuconazol a 4 µg.mL-1. Nenhuma concentração das soluções aquosa e alcóolica inibiu o crescimento micelial. Entretanto, a presença de solução aquosa induziu maior crescimento micelial. O antifúngico Tebuconazol apresentou efeito redutor importante do crescimento micelial e pode ser uma alternativa no controle da propagação do C. cacaofunesta em locais onde a seleção genética e o manejo adequado de instrumentos no momento da poda apresentam falhas.(AU)

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibition of the aqueous extract of seeds (AEs) from Guettarda angelica on cell infection by two avian RNA viruses: avian reovirus (ARV) and metapneumovirus (AMPV). The cytotoxic and antiviral activities were evaluated by MTT assay to determine the 50% cytotoxic (CC50) and inhibitory concentrations (IC50). The selectivity index (SI=CC50/IC50) also carried out. AEs exhibited antiviral activity only against ARV presenting IC50 of 23.59μg/mL. This inhibition was not due to any cytotoxic effect of AEs since the CC50 on Vero cells was of 400.60μg/mL and its SI was of 17.00; this extract also showed a virucidal effect on ARV. Previous studies also demonstrated antiviral activity of AEs extract against three animal herpesviruses. Thus, the seeds from G. angelica showing antiviral activity against DNA and RNA viruses, enveloped and non-enveloped, could be promising source of new antiviral agents encouraging its fractionation to isolate the active compound.
