Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Adesão ao tratamento da malária vivax em crianças(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-04-01) SANTOS, José Alberto Gomes dos; ANDRADE, Marcieni Ataíde de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8514584872100128Malaria is an infectious disease endemic in 104 countries and vivax malaria accept responsibility for 25 to 40% of the global burden of disease worldwide. The South America has high transmission rates shown by the annual parasite incidence (API) greater than 1% of the population. In recent years it has been observed in Brazil the prevalence of infection with P. vivax. The treatment protocol isased on the combination of chloroquine and primaquine, however, treatment failures have been reported worldwide including in Brazil with adherence as one of the causes. Several factors can interfere in the adherence between them: education, sex, absence of signs and symptoms and socioeconomic profile. This study evaluated the adherence to malaria treatment from determining the profile demographic partner of children with vivax malaria in Anajás and determined the plasma concentrations of chloroquine and primaquine of the study patients. For the profile of the participants was used questionnaire was complete source of information. To measure adherence to treatment was used indirect test Morisky-Green assessing the patient's attitude towards treatment. The plasma concentration of primaquine and its metabolite was made by collecting paper filter venous blood on day D1 and D7 and determined HPLC. The profile of patients showed that most of the children were male, with the primary caregiver mother, education and income were considered low, despite the distribution the use of mosquito nets it is irregular, 92.4% of households have no sewage system, and 33.3% use water from the river for consumption .The indirect test Morisky- Green classified 42 children as adherent and 08 as no adherent The plasma concentration of PQ in D7 adherent and no adherent were related and showed no significant difference, since the CPQ concentrations in D7 Adherent showed statistically significant result, with higher values in adherent patients.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Análises cromatográficas por CLAE-DAD, termogravimétricas e morfo-anatômicas de amostras comerciais de Echinodorus macrophyllus (Kunth) Micheli (Chapéu-de-couro)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) FREITAS, Cristian Barbosa de; BORGES, Fernanda Iikiu; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1372405563294070For quality control of the commercial sample of Echinodorus macrophyllus were analyzed with botanical, pharmacognostic and physical-chemical properties. To achieve the anatomical cuts was rehydrated, sectioned with steel blade and fixed on slides semi-permanent. The sections were cleared in 20% NaClO and stained with astra blue-to-follow basic fuchsin. In cross section the epidermis is uniseriate with cells of rectangular shapes, heterodimensional, smooth and thin cuticle. For realization of thermogravimetry was used both drugs as solids at a heating rate of 5, 10 and 15 degrees Celsius. The chromatography was performed in HPLC and sample was obtained from column chromatography and eluted by gradient with methanol and acidic water. The palisade tissue consists of two layers of cells. The parenchyma spongy cells have thin walls, heterodimensional, different formats and well-developed intercellular spaces. The vascular bundles are collateral. The leaf is amphistomatic with stomata paracytic. Petiole in cross section, has a triangular to hexagonal. The epidermis is uniseriate with cells of polygonal shape, smooth walls, large amounts of aerenchyma which sometimes occur diaphragms. Samples of the leaf have characteristics of the species E. macrophyllus, but the anatomy of the petiole showed different structures from those described for the species, which belong to the genus Echinodorus, however suggests possible contamination of the material supplied with other plant species. Thermogravimetric analysis contributed significantly to establish parameters and characterize the sample.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Atividade antibacteriana de plantas medicinais frente á bactérias multirresistentes e a sua interação com drogas antimicrobianas(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-08-28) SARAIVA, Rosa Márcia Corrêa; VIEIRA, José Maria dos Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6807452375674442Infection control of the multidrug-resistant microorganisms sometimes is ineffective even with the development of new antibiotics. Many herbal extracts have antimicrobial effects and may represent an alternative therapy for infectious diseases, mainly when associated with antibiotics of clinical use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of medicinal plants in multidrug-resistant microorganisms and their interaction with antimicrobial agents. We evaluate the antibacterial activity of plant extracts and fractions of Eleutherine plicata (“marupazinho”) Geissospermum vellosii (“pau-pereira”) and Portulaca pilosa (“amor-crescido”) against isolates of Oxacillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA) and multi-resistant bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, from human clinical isolates. Also we evaluate interaction of these plant extracts with antimicrobial agents of clinical use. The antibacterial activity was determined by disk diffusion on Mueller Hinton agar and the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) by micro dilution plate technique using Muller Hinton broth as culture medium and 0.01% resazurin as a developer of bacterial growth. The extracts and fractions were tested at concentrations of 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.2 and 16.2 μg/mL dissolved in 10% DMSO. Plants E. plicata and G. vellosii demonstrated activity against ORSA isolates with MICs of 125 μg/mL, whereas P. pilosa had an effect on the isolates of P. aeruginosa with MIC of 250 μg/mL. There were 25% of synergism and only 5% of antagonism of all 120 plant and antimicrobial agents interaction tested. ORSA isolates had synergistic interaction with ciprofloxacin, clindamycin and vancomycin agents and with both plant derivatives of E. plicata and G. vellosii. The derivatives of P. pilosa potentiated the action of the aztreonam, cefepime and piperacillin + tazobactam agents compared to the isolates of P. aeruginosa multidrug-resistant. The results shows therapeutic potential of E. plicata, G. vellosii and P. pilosa in the control of bacterial infections involving multidrug-resistant phenotype (MDR) and its interaction with antibacterial agents may represent a new alternative in the therapy of these infections.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Atividade antifúngica da nimesulida isolada ou em associação com a terbinafina contra fungos dermatófitos e seu provável mecanismo de ação in vitro(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015) MATOS, Rafaelle Fonseca de; MONTEIRO, Marta Chagas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6710783324317390The dermatophytes has shown resistance to current antifungal agents such as Terbinafine, and this has led to research into new compounds as an alternative therapy. Thus, this study evaluated the action of non-steroidal antiinflamatory (NSAIDs) Nimesulide isolated and combined with Terbinafine against dermatophytes, dependence on Prostaglandins this mechanism of action and the effect of Nimesulide in the production of urease and fungal viability. The tests based were on CLSI, clinical and laboratory standards institute - reference method for microdilution test ground for antifungal susceptibility against filamentous fungi (M38-A standard). For clinical isolates of the species Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton rubrum, Epidermophyton floccosum and Microsporum canis, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) varied in the range> 400 ug / ml -> 0.112 g / ml. However, the results showed that the concentration of 0.002 mg / ml of Nimesulide was able to inhibit the growth of T. mentagrophytes ATCC 9533 and the concentration of 0.008 mg / ml was fungicidal for the same strain. Same values were find for Terbinafine on this strain. The inhibition of fungal growth by Nimesulide was reverse with application of exogenous prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The urease test showed that T. mentagrophytes ATCC 9533 produces the enzyme, but no inhibition of fungal viability. In the nimesulide / Terbinafine association inhibition occurred in a ratio of 9: 1, or 0.0002 g / ml of Terbinafine and 0.0018 ug / ml of Nimesulide inhibited fungal growth but this result was the indifferent Fractional inhibition index. Nimesulide showed antifungal activity against dermatophytes in low concentrations, but other studies must be performed with the aid of molecular modeling to improve the targeting compound.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Atividade antimicrobiana do óleo essencial de Piper aduncum L. e seu componente, dilapiol, frente a Staphylococcus spp. multirresistentes(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-08-31) BRAZÃO, Maria Angélica Bolini; MONTEIRO, Marta Chagas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6710783324317390The essential oil of Piper aduncum (EPO) and its main component, the dilapiol (76.5%), were evaluated for antibacterial activity against different strains of Staphylococcus spp. ATCC and multiresistant. For testing the antibacterial activity of EPO and dilapiol were determined Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), the technique of microdilution and by counting Colony Forming Units (CFU) using concentrations of 250, 500 , 750 and 1000 μg/ml of EPO and concentrations of 100 and 1000 μg/ml dilapiol. The bacterial inoculum used was adjusted to 1x104 range from 0.5 Mc Farland. As a negative control inoculum was used along with Tween 20, solubilising the essential oil and dilapiol, and as positive control we used the chloramphenicol 0.05 mg/mL. These compounds were tested against strains of S. aureus ATCC 25923, S. epidermidis ATCC 12228, MRSA hospital, and S.epidermidis, S. lentus multiresistant nosocomial. The results showed that the EPO showed the MIC 90% of 500 μg/mL and MBC of 1000 μg/mL against S. aureus ATCC 25923, whose concentration of 500 μg/mL was able to inhibit 60% of bacterial growth. The strain MRSA, the EPO showed a small inhibition (10%) at a concentration of 750 μg/mL, being obtained in the MIC90% 1000 μg/mL. In S. epidermidis ATCC 12228, the OEPA showed antimicrobial activity with MIC90% at 500 μg/mL and MBC at 750 μg/mL. For the strain S. epidermidis multiresistant, the PEO was able to inhibit only 35% growth of this strain at a concentration of 750 μg/mL, but the value obtained in the MIC90% 1000 mg/mL. As for dilapiol, the compound showed antimicrobial activity against a strain of S. aureus ATCC 25923 at a concentration of 1000 μg/mL, 100% growth inhibiting (CBM). On the other hand, had no antimicrobial effect on MRSA strain nor S. lentus multiresistant. Furthermore, the dilapiol inhibited only 20% of the growth of S. epidermidis ATCC 12228 and S. epidermidis multiresistant concentration of 1000 μg/mL. Thus, the data show a moderate antibacterial activity of the essential oil, and the dilapiol showed weak in vitro antimicrobial activity.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Atividades antimicrobiana e antipromastigota de extratos e frações de Virola surinamensis (Rol ex Rottb.) Warb (Myristicaceae)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-09-13) SARAIVA, Maria Elinete Veras; DOLABELA, Maria Fâni; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0458080121943649; SANTOS, Lourivaldo da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3232898465948962The present study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of extracts and antipromastigota V. surinamensis and its fractions. To obtain the extracts have been used increasingly polar solvents (hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol) and the ethyl acetate extract was fractionated into open column chromatography, using as stationary phase silica gel and eluents such as mixtures of hexane and ethyl acetate gradient increasing polarity. To evaluate the antimicrobial activity was used in agar diffusion test being used the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. The active fraction was subjected to microdilution, which determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). In assessing the activity antipromastigota used the Leishmania amazonensis and L. chagasi, being determined the minimum inhibitory concentrations and 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50). Extracts hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol were subjected to agar diffusion test, and there were no inhibitions of bacterial and fungal growth. Just FA3 ethyl acetate fraction obtained from the ethyl acetate extract inhibited the growth of S. aureus in the agar diffusion test. But in this fraction microdilution proved inactive (MIC> 1000μg / mL). Only the hexane extract was active in promastigote forms of L. amazonensis and L.chagasi. In short, only the hexane extract was active in promastigote forms of Leishmania.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da adesão à terapia medicamentosa em hipertensos de unidades de saúde do distrito DAGUA no município de Belém-Pará(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-08-30) SOUSA, Patrick Luis Cruz de; SILVA, Marcos Valério Santos da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0379783635000306; ANDRADE, Marcieni Ataíde de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8514584872100128Adherence to pharmacotherapy in several chronic diseases, especially hypertension (SH), has great importance for the prevention, reduction and control of diseases and complications, thus reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Evaluate the modifiable and non-modifiable factors that contribute to a better adherence to medication in patients DAGUA district in Belém-PA, can serve as the basis for qualification of pharmaceutical care, clinical management, public politics, actions and plans in services public health in order to improve patient compliance. We conducted a descriptive transversal observational and quantitative analysis with a random sample of 227 patients enrolled in the program HIPERDIA, from March 2010 to August 2011, where we assessed the knowledge and the degree of adherence to drug therapy using the tests Morisky and Green (TMG) and the Batalla test relating to socioeconomic, lifestyle, and esquipe health service and patient-related factors. The study population was characterized predominantly by women (69.5%) aged above 60 years (44.5%), mixed race (48%), married (44.9%), retired (43.6%) and with low educational level, being (55.1%) with incomplete primary education. Of the total persons (63.46%) had uncontrolled blood pressure. Not adhere to treatment (66.9%) according to test Morisky and Green (72.38%) by the test Batalla.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da adesão ao tratamento com alfadornase em pacientes com fibrose cística(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017) FEITOSA, Keith Brabo Tavares; MARTINS, Valéria de Carvalho; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1904927472781784; ANDRADE, Marcieni Ataíde de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8514584872100128Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease, clinically manifested by digestive and respiratory symptoms. The early diagnosis offers the possibility of a better therapeutic control of the disease’s symptoms in favor of the prognosis and contributing to increasing quality of life. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the patient's behavior towards the disease and to evaluate the adherence to the treatment with the alfadornase enzyme. A cross-sectional study was carried out using epidemiological data collected through direct interviews with patients and/or their caregivers and by medical records analysis. Morisky-Green and Batalla Martinez tests were employed in order to evaluate the patient’s adhesion and knowledge of the disease, respectively. In addition, the clinical profile was assayed by Shwachman-Kulczyki score. Fifty-one (51) patients with cystic fibrosis in treatment with alfadornase were recruited at the outpatient clinic of the Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto. At final, forty-seven (47) patients participated in the study. Most of the patients (53.2%) were under 18 years of age, male (56.6%) and were from countryside (40.4%). Patients with long term use of alfadornase (> 5 years) show possess greater adherence than the others with a shorter treatment period. The male sex was associated with higher adherence, as well as greater education level and family income. The Batalla Martinez test demonstrates that only 40.42% of patients had some knowledgement about their disease. Thus, the factors associated with low adherence were: use of more than five medications, low education and gender. On the other way, these results shows that adherence to the medication was associated with the best clinical score.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana de extratos de própolis em diferente maturação(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-11-29) CHADA, Fabio José Garcia; MONTEIRO, Marta Chagas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6710783324317390The discovery and synthesis of antimicrobial comprise an element of paramount importance to health, however some of these substances have become obsolete due to the emergence of resistant microorganisms conventional therapy. Within the forms of treatment, natural products are an inexhaustible source of substances, including propolis, which is known worldwide due to its antimicrobial activity. The objective of this study was the microbiological analysis of six propolis samples collected from regions Prudentópolis - PR , at different times of deposit hive, with up to 40 days of deposit (New Propolis) and another with over 180 days (Propolis old). The antimicrobial activity was observed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus and Enterococcus faecalis through testing microdilution plate with colorimetric assay using resazurin. At the end of the tests gave values ranging from 0.38 to 0.68 mg/ml to MIC new propolis and 0.34 to 1.3 mg/ml for the old to the microorganisms S. aureus and M. luteus having values close to both of these as well as the CBM between 0.38 to 1.62 and from 0.67 to 2.6 mg/ml, respectively. Similarly, for E. faecalis MIC values between 0.76 and 2.73 mg/ml for the new propolis and 2.72 and 1.34 mg/ml of the propolis old were made, and MBC values of 1.50 to 3.07 and 2.68 to 3.11 mg/ml, respectively, for samples 1V, 2N and 5N 5V CBM not observed for the concentrations studied. Gram- negative microorganisms were not sensitive to propolis. We conclude that the new propolis showed better antimicrobial activity, especially against S. aureus and M. luteus. However, the data also show that the values of MIC and MBC were very close between the different propolis, which was not evident reasons why the old propolis is discarded.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da atividade esquistossomicida do lapachol e análogos(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-06-29) COSTA, Erica Vanessa Souza; ENK, Martin Johannes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1169309283832476; DOLABELA, Maria Fâni; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0458080121943649Mansonic chistosomiasis is a worldwide parasitic disease caused by Schistosomamansoni and its treatment performed with praziquantelhas some adverse reactions. The search for new drugs to treatment of this disease is important and medicinal plants can contribute with promising new molecules, such as lapachol. The present study evaluated the schistosomicidal activity of lapachol and analogues. Lapachol was isolated from Handroanthusserratifolius by silica gel chromatography column using dichloromethane as mobile phase. This substance was treated with sulfuric acid, followed by distilled water and dichloromethaneto obtain β-lapachone. To obtain α-lapachone, lapachol was solubilized and glacial acetic acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid were added. In order to evaluate schistosomicidal activity in vitro, an experiment was carried out on adult worms of S. mansoni, and morphology, motility and mortality in optic microscopy were evaluated. The active substance was submitted to the lipid peroxidation test, Malondialdehyde Dosage (MDA) and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TEAC). In addition, the active substance was submitted to cell viability assay (MTT), using the gastric epithelial (MNP01) and gastric adenocarcinoma (ACP02)strains. The active sample was evaluatedin vivo in infected mice, where wormsmortality, oviposition decrease and damage caused by parasites in animals were evaluated. Also, a histological study of kidney and liver of infected mouse treated with β-lapachone was performed. Lapachol (yield = 2.9%) and α-lapachone (yield = 60%) were not promise as schistosomicide, with their inhibitory concentrations being 50% higher than 500μg/mL in adult worms, whereas β-lapachone(yield = 65%) was very promising against adult worms (IC50 <31.25mg/mL). Analyzes in optical microscopy showed that β-lapachone treated worms presented tremor back, curled body, and lack of movement, these alterations may be related to lipid peroxidation in parasite membrane. This compound has a low antioxidant capacity, low cytotoxicity for the MNP01 and ACP02 strains, and the selectivity index is higher than 10. In vivo study showed that β-lapachone did not reduce the number of eggs in the faeces, so it did not inhibit ovoposition, and there were not alterations in the recoveredwormsnumber, and microscopic analysis showed they had motility and their membrane was integrated. Histological studies showed there were no renal and hepatic changes. In synthesis, β- lapachoneis promising as an in vitroschistosomicide and this activity may be related to lipid peroxidation in parasite membrane. However, in vitro study did not observe this activity, pharmacokinetic factors may be influencing results divergence.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da citotoxicidade e seletividade do extrato, frações e alcaloide de Geissospermum sericeum (Apocynaceae) em linhagens celulares ACP02, HepG2 e VERO(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-08-07) BASTOS, Mírian Letícia Carmo; BAHIA, Marcelo de Oliveira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3219037174956649; DOLABELA, Maria Fâni; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0458080121943649This study evaluated the antitumor activity of G. sericeum in primary gastric adenocarcinoma (ACP02), the selectivity and the mechanism of cell death. The G. sericeum bark powder was submitted to the exhaustive maceration with ethanol, which he resultant solution was concentrated on rotaevaporator until residue. For the fractionation of G. sericeum extract was used the fractionation under reflux and acid-basic partition. The alkaloid fraction (FAGS) obtained from the acid-basic partition was submitted to the open chromatography column (OCC), using Sephadex LH – 20 as stationary fase and the methanol as mobile fase, resulting in the subfracion F6FAGS. This subfracion was submitted to semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the indole alkaloid (F3F6FAGS) was isolated. The cytotoxicity and antitumor activity of the ethanol extract, its fractions and F3F6FAGS were assessed through cell viability assay with MTT ([3- (4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide]) in tumor-cell lines: ACP02, hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) and normal VERO cells (African green monkey). The samples with inhibitory concentration (IC50) below 100 μg/mL were considered active for antitumor activity in ACP02. The samples with IC50 ≤ 100 μg/mL were considered cytotoxic for cell lines HepG2 and VERO. The selectivity index (SI) was obtained from the ratio between the CC50 and IC50 values and the samples were considered selective with SI higher than two, indicating that this activity is twice selective for tumor cells. The most selective samples were submitted to quantification of cell death with fluorescent dyes Hoechst 33342 (HO), Propionium Iodide (PI) and Fluorescein Diacetate (FDA) during 24 and 72 hours of exposure. All samples were active or moderately active for antitumor activity and exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity or were not cytotoxic. The FAGS and indole alkaloid had lower IC50 (FAGS = 18, 29 μg/mL e F3F6FAGS = 12, 06 μg/mL) bigger CC50 (FAGS-CC50 = 173, 3 μg/mL for VERO and 299,45 μg/mL for HepG2 and F3F6FAGS CC50 476 μg/mL for renal cells and CC50 503,5 μg/mL for hepatic cells) and were more selective (F3F6FAGS- SI = 39,4 for VERO and SI = 41,74 for HepG2 and FAGS- SI = 9,5 for VERO and SI = 16,37 for HepG2). The FAGS had greater apoptosis and necrosis in 24h and 48h with increased necrosis in the higher concentrations and with the increase of the exposure time. For alkaloid, apoptosis and necrosis were shown concentration and time-dependent, with a lower necrosis rate. These results suggest some selectivity of the F3F6FAGS alkaloid for gastric cancer. However, the bigger cytotoxicity and the lower selectivity of FAGS are probably related to the synergism of its alkaloids for apoptosis and necrosis.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação da utilização e segurança de medicamentos em pacientes idosos internados em um hospital universitário(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-12-23) CUENTRO, Vanessa da Silva; SILVA, Marcos Valério Santos da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0379783635000306; ANDRADE, Marcieni Ataíde de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8514584872100128The increase in the elderly population contributes to the higher prevalence of numerous and varied pathologies, whose pharmacological treatments generally include features that lead to the practice of polypharmacy, a factor that has a major impact on the safety of elderly patients, given that polypharmacy is largely responsible for the adverse drug reactions and drug interactions. The objective was to evaluate the safety and use of prescription medications in elderly patients aged 60 years and admitted to the University Hospital João de Barros Barreto, Universidade Federal do Pará. This is a cross-sectional, observational study of descriptive character and exploratory data collection to analysis of medical records was performed, the data were processed using the SPSS 20.0 statistical program. The results showed that the mean age was 71.9 years, 52.7 % women, elderly women showed older than male patients. The hospitalization obtained an average of 21.7 days, average of diagnoses per patient was 2.6. The principal diagnosis of hospitalization was cardiovascular diseases (20.3%). The average number of drugs prescribed per admission was 6.8. The most commonly used drugs were part of the digestive and metabolic system (32.4%), the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescribing of medications evaluated during hospitalization was 11.2 %, higher among women (58.8%), the potentially inappropriate medication prescriptions was more often in Butylscopolamine (25.2%). In regard to potential drug interactions, were identified in 65.5% of prescriptions, with an average of 8.6 per patient, medication interactions are involved in most of the cardiovascular system (38.6%), most of the interactions potential drug had moderate severity (75.3 %), potential pharmacokinetic interactions of action accounted for 65.4% of prescriptions and hypotension and hyperkalemia together accounted for 30.7% of the RAM , the management strategy was the most frequent monitoring signs and symptoms (65.7%) and with respect to monitoring the blood pressure amounted to 21.8%. In this study, the factors related to polypharmacy were length of hospital stay, number of diagnoses, drug interaction and the amount of inappropriate medications and were seen as a determinant in the occurrence of polypharmacy clinical variables: "number of diagnoses "and" length of stay ". Given these results, there is a need to adopt strategies for the optimization of pharmacotherapy provided to the elderly patient.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação das alterações cerebelares decorrentes da exposição ao etanol da adolescência à fase adulta(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-05-07) CUNHA, Polyane Alencar; LIMA, Rafael Rodrigues; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3512648574555468; MAIA, Cristiane do Socorro Ferraz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4835820645258101Alcohol abuse has reached massive proportions, associated with a number of adverse consequences, becoming one of the most widespread phenomena of recent decades and therefore alcohol, alcoholic disease agent of a public health problem. Young people are under physiological and social transition, with the curiosity, the pressure of the social group, the family model, propaganda and lack of public policies, the main risk factors which lead to early alcohol consumption. The teenager once is maturing presents its central nervous system (CNS) vulnerable to aggression caused by the consumption of this drug. It is known that alcohol promotes a series of motor change the point of view of clinical and physiological concurrently. These amendments are consequential action of alcohol sore CNS, specifically on the Cerebellum, and by chronic use of the drug suffer (like other organs of the CNS) some changes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cerebellar changes resulting from exposure to ethanol from adolescence to adulthood in rats, on the morphometric patterns observed in the organ, tissue response and investigation of oxidative balance the body against the injury caused by toxic. Mice received from the 35th day of postnatal life (puberty period) by gavage at a dose of EtOH 6.5g/kg/day for 90 days (adulthood). To view the injury caused to the fabric was made morphometric biochemical research and analysis through oxidative stress. The results show that cerebellar mass is not changed, but there is a reduction in organ size and an increase in the density of the cell population in the molecular and granular layers, however a decrease in neuronal cells, with all the changes occurred were not morphohistologics accompanied by alterations in the biochemical oxidation.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação do potencial microbicida das folhas da espécie Ayapana triplinervis Vahl.(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-12-06) LOPES, Tamyris Regina Matos; GONÇALVES, Ana Cristina Baetas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6886126078022769; MONTEIRO, Marta Chagas; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6710783324317390Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação dos efeitos no sistema nervoso central e estresse oxidativo do extrato hidroalcoólico de Petiveria alliacea L.

Several microorganisms may be present in this oral lesion which complicates treatment. Antimicrobial property of plants has been studied in order to confirm its action and potential to control infectious diseases, mainly due to raise of antimicrobial known resistant microorganisms. Study aimed to observe inhibitory action of plant extracts from Arrabidaea chica, Bryophyllum calycinum, Mansoa alliacea, Azadirachta indica, Senna alata, Vatairea guianensis, Vismia guianensis, Ananas erectifolius, Psidium guajava, Euterpe oleracea and Symphonia globulifera on strains of microorganisms usually involved in lesions of oral mucositis, Streptococcus mitis (ATCC 903), Streptococcus sanguis (ATCC 10557), Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027), Candida albicans (ATCC 40175), Candida krusei (ATCC 40147), and Candida parapsilosis (ATCC 40038). The evaluation of antimicrobial activity and determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were carried out using disk diffusion method on a solid medium. The raw extracts of plants were tested at concentrations of 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, and 15.62 mg/mL using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent. Anani and pirarucu extracts have presented the widest spectrum of action, inhibiting growth of seven microorganisms among the eight tested. The lowest MIC was obtained from anani, lacre, and mata pasto extracts. Anani extract was the most active and has demonstrated good antimicrobial activity (MIC below 100 mg / mL) against seven microorganisms (S. aureus, C. albicans, C. krusei, C. parapsilosis, S. mitis. S. sanguis, and S. mutans), showing inactivity only to P. aeruginosa. Lacre extract has shown good activity against five microorganisms. Faveira extract has shown good activity against S. aureus, S. mitis, and C. albicans while P. aeruginosa was the most resistant microorganism showing susceptibility only to pariri and pirarucu extracts. Among evaluated extracts, only curuauá have shown no activity on any microorganisms. The results have demonstrated antimicrobial properties of plant products tested. However, further approaches shall clarify mechanisms of action and possible interactions with antimicrobial drugs, aiming the treatment of infectious diseases.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Avaliação neurocomportamental, antinociceptiva e antioxidante do extrato hidroalcoólico de Eupatorium ayapana Vent (Asteraceae)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012-03-30) MELO, Ademar Soares; SOUSA, Pergentino José da Cunha; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9909053957915090; MAIA, Cristiane do Socorro Ferraz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4835820645258101The Eupatorium ayapana Vent., Family Asteraceae, popularly known as japana is used in infusions, decoctions, baths and tea, with sedative, febrifuge, stimulant and tonic, also used to combat insomnia, headache, sore throat, diarrhea, etc.., commonly used by the Amazonian population. This study evaluated the effect of different doses of hydroalcoholic extract of Eupatorium ayapana Vent (EHAEA) on the behavior of Wistar rats, aged 2 months. We used eight groups of rats (n = 7-10) that were divided into control, standard drug action anxiolytic (diazepam), standard drug action antidepressant (fluoxetine) and five doses of the extract (100, 200, 400, 600, 800 mg/kg) which were solubilized with 1% tween 80. The administration of the extract was performed acutely by gavage. In oral toxicity test, it was found that the extract is not toxic. The behavioral tests were used: the open field, the elevated plus maze (EPM) and forced swimming. After the behavioral tests was performed to collect blood in the retro-orbital plexus of rats to assess the levels of oxidative stress such as Total Antioxidant Capacity, MDA and NO, and also the total antioxidant EHAEA. The results obtained in the open field test showed anxiolytic-like activity, a result confirmed in the LCE. In the forced swimming test, the EHAEA showed antidepressant action of any kind. In tests of nociception, which was used mice occurred in antinociceptive abdominal writhing test in doses of 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg/kg. In evaluating the biochemical oxidation, it was observed that there was no oxidative damage in the treated groups EHAEA, NO levels were unchanged at doses of 200, 400 and 600 mg total antioxidant capacity was shown to be increased. With these results, this paper aims to contribute to future work, have seen, are few studies in the behavioral area, in nociception and oxidative stress in this plant species, and that further studies may enhance the use of the extract in folk medicine japana.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Concentrações plasmáticas de primaquina e metemoglobinemia em pacientes com malária por Plasmodium vivax(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2010) FERREIRA, Michelli Erica Souza; VIEIRA, José Luiz Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2739079559531098The vivax malaria is a disease that effects around 40% of the world, to treat it, chloroquine (150 mg) and primaquine (15 mg). This is an 8-aminoquinoline with tissue schizonticide action. Among the adverse effects enhance the capacity to hemoglobin oxidation, dose-dependent, which is exacerbated in individuals with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. When considering the lack of studies concerning the methemoglobin levels and its correlation with primaquine concentrations plasma in patients with vivax malaria, is justified this study using as tools to monitor the plasma primaquine concentrations and its correlation with methemoglobin levels. In this sense, it was followed up clinically and laboratory findings of 20 patients with vivax malaria before (D0) and after three (D3), seven (D7) and fourteen (D14) days starting the treatment, as well as validation of the method for primaquine determination by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Methemoglobinemia was evaluated using the method of Hegesh et al. (1970) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by colorimetric method of Brewer et al. (1962 ). The methodology validated was demonstrated efficient for primaquine determination, whose average levels at D3, D7 and D14 were 227 ± 106 ng / mL, 191 ± 97 ng / mL and 160 ± 128 ng/mL. In the analysis according to gender was not observed differences significant in the drug levels in several days of study. The average methemoglobin levels in D0, D3, D7 and D14 were 1.15 ± 0.9%, 4.1 ± 2%, 5.7 ± 2% and 3 ± 1.4%, respectively. There was an increase in the methemoglobin level after drug administration, without difference by gender. There was not significant correlation between the methemoglobin levels and primaquine concentrations plasma in both sexes. The coefficients of Pearson correlation for males and females were 0.8296 and 0.8137, respectively. We observed impaired expression of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in six male patients without differences between the methemoglobin levels and primaquine concentrations plasma, compared with patients with expression normal of the enzyme.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Concentrações plasmáticas de rifampicina em pacientes com tuberculose pulmonar(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-12-01) BELEZA, Breno Kristoffer Uchôa; VIEIRA, José Luiz Fernandes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2739079559531098Tuberculosis is an infectious-contagious disease that is still considered a major public health problem worldwide. Brazil is one of the 22 countries in the world responsible for 80% of the cases of the disease, and the highest incidence rates are observed in the North, Southeast and Northeast regions. The standard treatment regimen is composed of rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. The clinical outcome is associated with the blood concentrations of these drugs after the use of therapeutic doses, however, despite the high incidence of the Brazilian disease, the concentrations of these drugs have not been evaluated in these patients, which is relevant mainly for rifampicin, given the high variability of concentrations in biological fluids after therapy. Therefore, a prospective case study was carried out to determine the concentrations of rifampicin by high performance liquid chromatography in patients with active tuberculosis treated in the city of Belém. Fifty patients were included in the study, however, there was a loss of clinical follow-up of 20 patients (40%), whose main reason was the abandonment of treatment. The social and demographic aspects of the others indicate a higher occurrence of the disease in males, low education, residents in the metropolitan area of Belém and in the productive age group. Rifampicin concentrations in the two treatment phases ranged from 0.6 μg / ml to 0.73 μg / ml. There was no significant difference in blood drug concentrations between treatment phases, however, rifampicin levels were significantly higher in women.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Desenvolvimento de um método para caracterização do extrato hidroetanólico das folhas de Mikania lindleyana DC por Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência (CLAE)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) OWITI, Alex Oselu; BARBOSA, Wagner Luiz Ramos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1372405563294070Mikania lindleyana DC (Asteraceae), vernacular “Sucuriju”, is a creeping, shrubby, perennial, evergreen plant, growing in the Amazon region where it is used as diuretic, anti-hypertensive, anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcerous medicine. The main aim of this study was to develop a method for characterization of hydro-ethanolic extract (tincture) from the leaves of M. lindleyana DC, using UV and High performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The hydro-ethanolic extract (tincture) was prepared based on Brazilian Pharmacopeia V, 2010 and its dry residue was submitted to phytochemical analyses, Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High Performance Liquid chromatography (HPLC). Among the substances observed in the phytochemical analysis was coumarin, alkaloids, amino acids, reducing sugars, phenols, tannins, steroids, terpenes, saponins and organic acids. TLC test was done by applying hexanic, chloroformic and ethyl acetate Fractions together with Crude hydro-ethanolic extract and aqueous solution of coumarin Aldrich® 0,1mg/ml on the same plate using toluene/dichloromethane/acetone (45:25:30) as the eluent system. The chromatogram was then sprayed with an alcoholic solution of KOH 5%, and then observed under UV light at 254nm and 365 nm, revealing a light green band at an RF-0.61 for chloroformic fraction, crude hydro-ethanolic extract and for coumarin samples. The HPLC analysis was conducted using methanol/water 53:47 as the eluent system. The chloroformic fraction(CL), coumarin and the crude hydro-ethanolic extract (CHE) showed peaks at Retention time around 6.00minutes and spectra with maximum absorptions between 270nm and 300nm.This clearly demonstrate the presence of coumarins in the samples (CL= 0.209mg/mL and CHE= 0.014mg/mL).
