The results suggest significant repercussions of the deprivation of liberty in marital relationships as well as an impact of these relationships on the experience of imprisonment.

Estágio curricular supervisionado em educação física: uma revisão sistemática da produção científica (2005-2018) / Supervised curricular internship in physical education: a systematic review of scientific production (2005-2018)

Pretende revelar os aspectos acerca do Estágio Supervisionado que têm se destacado na produção de conhecimento da área, sobretudo com a repercussão das diretrizes curriculares nacionais para a formação profissional nos cursos de licenciatura e bacharelado em Educação Física. A pesquisa de revisão sistemática considerou os principais periódicos da área, num recorte temporal entre 2005 e 2018. Foram mapeados 30 artigos, dos quais dois tratavam do estágio nos bacharelados, e os demais dos estágios na licenciatura. As temáticas relativas a impressões, preocupações, percepções de estagiários da experiência do estágio e aspectos estruturais, organizacionais, legais e operacionais do estágio são predominantes, sendo 21 artigos a elas dedicados. É crescente o número de publicações, porém, com base no recorte temporal, pode-se considerar reduzido o número de artigos sobre estágio. Destaca-se a parca produção nos bacharelados, o que impede que se possa conhecer e analisar as repercussões das novas diretrizes, os desafios e as preocupações, e como esses cursos vêm se estruturando. (AU)

It intends to reveal the aspects about the Supervised Internship that have been outstanding in the production of knowledge of the area, especially with the repercussion of the national curricular guidelines for the professional formation in the undergraduate and baccalaureate courses in Physical Education. The systematic review survey considered the main periodicals of the area, in a temporal cut between 2005 and 2018. Thirty articles were mapped, of which two dealt with the stage in the baccalaureate, and the other of the stages in the degree. The topics related to impressions, concerns, trainee perceptions of internship experience and structural, organizational, legal and operational aspects of the internship are predominant, with 21 articles devoted to them. The number of publications is increasing, however, based on the time cut, the number of articles on the stage can be considered reduced. It is important to mention the low production in the baccalaureate, which prevents the knowledge and analysis of the repercussions of the new guidelines, the challenges and the concerns, and how these courses are structured.

A Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization of Current Research Trends in Chinese Medicine for Osteosarcoma / 中国结合医学杂志

BACKGROUND@#To illustrate the research framework, overall knowledge structure, and development trends of Chinese medicine (CM) treatment for osteosarcoma (OS) by using a bibliometric analysis and newly developed visualization tools.@*METHODS@#Research datasets were acquired from the Web of Science (WOS) database from January 1, 1980 to September 30, 2019. VOS viewer and Citespace software was used to analyze the data and generate visualization knowledge maps. Annual trends of publications, distribution of institutes, distribution of journals, citation and H-index status, co-authorship status, research hotspots and co-citation status were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#A total of 223 publications in the WOS database met the requirement. The number of published articles showed a rise but the citation frequency and the H-index of China were relatively low. The cooperation between the countries, institutes and authors were relatively weak. Most publications were basic researches. Most of the previous researches focused on basic mechanisms of CM in treating OS, and therapy and improvement of dosage form may become a frontier in this research field.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Compared with other fields, the field of CM treatment for osteosarcome is still in infancy. The distribution of researches is imbalanced and cooperation between countries, institutions and authors remains to be strengthened. Furthermore, basic research occupies an absolute dominant position, and the exploration of the molecular mechanism of CM in preventing and treating OS may become a key point in the future.

Use of biorelevant dissolution media in dissolution tests as a predictive method of oral bioavailability

Abstract Dissolution is a key step in the uptake of oral drugs. In order to compare the behaviour of the dissolution of two formulations, the dissolution profile test was used. This assay must be discriminative and should mimic in vivo conditions. Many dissolution media described in pharmacopoeias are not predictive of bioavailability. Due to this, biorelevant media are used as an alternative to solve this problem. The objective of this work is to evaluate the relevance of biorelevant dissolution media to predict in vivo drug dissolution. For this, a bibliographic search was carried out in scientific databases. The search was first performed for articles verifying the physicochemical properties of human gastrointestinal fluids. Subsequently, a comparison was made between the properties of gastrointestinal fluids and those of biorelevant and pharmacopoeial media. Finally, the results of bioequivalence studies and dissolution profile tests in biorelevant media described in the literature were compared. The results revealed that there are a few publications that have analysed some physicochemical properties of gastrointestinal fluids. In addition, high variability was observed for some properties. Regarding the comparison of these properties with pharmacopoeial media and biorelevant media, the analysis showed that the biorelevant media are more similar to gastrointestinal fluids than the pharmacopoeial media. Finally, the in vitro dissolution profile results were similar to the results obtained in vivo. Thus, biorelevant media may be useful for analysing dissolution profiles.
