ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar o conhecimento e a prática de enfermeiros da atenção primária de saúde quanto às ações de controle e eliminação da hanseníase. Método: estudo avaliativo, com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo, cujos dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, realizada com 16 enfermeiros. Resultados: os dados coletados revelaram que os profissionais de saúde possuem conhecimento suficiente sobre a Política Nacional de Controle e Eliminação da Hanseníase (PNCEH) e que as principais ações preconizadas foram executadas, porém, a notificação de casos suspeitos ou confirmados e a reinserção social do doente não foram citadas. Conclusão: manter os doentes em tratamento, sobrecarga de trabalho, falta de interdisciplinaridade e tratamento realizado em outros locais fora da comunidade foram dificuldades relatadas pelos profissionais. Os enfermeiros conhecem as ações direcionadas à assistência ao hanseniano, entretanto, o estudo aponta para a necessidade de uma prática mais alinhada ao que preconiza a PNECH. .


RESUMEN Objetivo: evaluar el conocimiento y la práctica de los enfermeros que trabajan en la atención primaria de salud como las acciones de control y eliminación de la hanseniasis. Método: es un estudio evaluativo con enfoque cualitativo, utilizando el Discurso del Sujeto Colectivo, cuyos datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas con 16 enfermeros. Resultados: los datos obtenidos revelaron que los profesionales de la salud tienen el conocimiento suficiente sobre la Política Nacional de Control y Erradicación de la Hanseniasis (PNCEH) y que las principales acciones recomendadas se han implementado, pero la notificación de los casos sospechosos o confirmados y reinserción social del paciente no fue mencionado. Conclusión: mantener a los pacientes en tratamiento, exceso de trabajo, falta de interdisciplinariedad y tratamiento realizado en otros lugares fuera de la comunidad fueron problemas reportados por el personal de salud. Los enfermeros conocen las acciones destinadas a ayudar a los pacientes con hanseniasis, sin embargo, el estudio apunta la necesidad de una practica más direccionado a lo que defiende la PNECH. .


ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the knowledge and practice of primary health care nurses about control and elimination actions of leprosy. Method: evaluation study with qualitative approach, using the Discourse of the Collective Subject, data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with 16 nurses. Results: the data collected revealed that health professionals have suffi cient knowledge about the National Policy on Control and Elimination of Leprosy (NPCEL) and that the main actions preconized were applied, however, notifi cation of suspected or confi rmed cases and social reintegration of the patient were not mentioned. Conclusion: keeping patients in treatment, overload of work, lack of interdisciplinarity and treatment performed at other locations outside of the community were diffi culties reported by professionals. Nurses know the actions addressed at assistance of leprosy patients, however, the study points to the need for a practice which is more aligned to what advocates NPCEL. .

ABSTRACT

Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) is strictly associated with point mutations of transthyretin (TTR) protein. The Tyr116->Ser (Y116S) mutant TTR is an important amyloidogenic variant responsible for FAP. Structural dynamics of monomeric TTR and its mutant (Y116S) may give some clue relating to amyloid formation. In this study, molecular dynamic simulation at 310 K has been performed on wild-type and mutant (Y116S) TTR monomer, which can provide the molecular insight of structural transition in the inner and outer strand of the protein. Results show that mutation in the H-strand (Tyr116->Ser) leads to disruption of secondary structure and H-bonding pattern of some important parts of the inner DAGH-sheet of the protein. Especially, the residues T106, A108, L110 of G-strand, S117 and T119 of H-strand are affected, which are involved in the binding of thyroxin hormone. This unfolding of mutant structure during dynamics may cause instability in the protein and thus induce amyloidgenesis.
