There has been a great advance in the pharmacognosy field, which has increased the use of medicinal plants by health professionals and practitioners of folk medicine. This systematic review explored the history and the present day application of phytotherapeutic medicines. We searched the databases Cochrane Library, Embase, Lilacs, PubMed, Scielo and a specialized bibliography. We concluded that there are many therapeutic potentialities in the use of phytotherapeutic medicines and medicinal plants. We also concluded that despite the increasing number of publications in the field each year, there is still a lack of reviews and meta-analyses that could promote a better integration of the knowledge produced. In addition, research about pharmacological interactions and multidisciplinary studies may promote a quicker and safer process from the workbench up to the clinical trials.

The objectives of this study were: a) to quantify dermal and respiratory exposure resulting from work conditions in the application of pesticides on citrus crops using a air-assisted sprayer and by preparing the spray in a tank with a capacity of2.000 L; b) to evaluate the measures of individual protection for these workers; c) to determine the areas of the worker's body most exposed; and d) to classify the work conditions with and without the protective measures tested, with regard to the occupational safety of the recommendations for the pesticides used in controlling the main pests and diseases of this crop. It was shown that for the tractor driver and sprayer operator applyng pesticides on citrus trees, the most efficient protective measures were the AZR ensemble and the Real cabin. The AZR ensemble was effective in controlling exposure of the spray preparer, because it was sufficient to turn work conditions from unsafe to safe. The area of the body most exposed under the two work conditions studied was the hands of the workers.

A psoríase é uma doença inflamatória relativamente comum da pele e das articulações, podendo se tornar crônica. Nos últimos anos, a expansão do arsenal terapêutico para o paciente com psoríase tem permitido aos médicos combaterem, de forma mais agressiva, a patogênese da doença. Um fármaco utilizado para o tratamento é o metotrexato, que, apesar de ser bastante eficaz, possui potencial para a toxicidade sistêmica, como toxicidade hematológica, hepática e pulmonar. Sendo assim, muita atenção tem sido dada ao desenvolvimento de novos veículos com o objetivo não só de aumentar a eficácia terapêutica de substâncias ativas, como também de permitir a redução da sua dose total necessária, minimizando os efeitos colaterais tóxicos. Os cristais-líquidos são sistemas promissores para aplicação tópica, pois promovem liberação controlada de fármacos, contribuindo para amenizar efeitos adversos, por exemplo, do metotrexato. Uma vez que há possibilidade de as substâncias incorporadas em formulações tópicas serem absorvidas pela pele e mucosas, existe a necessidade de garantir que as formulações sejam seguras. Este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar a bioadesão e a citotoxicidade in vitro de três sistemas líquido-cristalinos contendo metotrexato para o tratamento da psoríase. Resultados de bioadesão revelaram que as três formulações analisadas apresentaram forças bioadesivas próximas, sendo o sistema A mais bioadesivo. Com relação a estudos de reologia, houve comportamento de fluido não-newtoniano, pseudoplástico e tixotrópico. Além disso, a adição de metotrexato à formulação A, aumentou a viscosidade do sistema. Ensaios de citotoxicidade sugerem a possibilidade de liberação prolongada de metotrexato, contribuindo para o aumento da viabilidade celular

The work depicts the study of geological and geotechnical characteristics presents, together with an analysis of the physical environment components and evaluation of its units, along a marginal stretch at Rodovia Amparo-Morungaba (SP-360) in order to present a geological and geotechnical map, 1:25.000 scale (one of the objectives of the work). There was also a geotechnical assessment of the present geological processes and the development of corrective measures necessary to establish safe conditions for road traffic. The method for the characterization of geological and geotechnical analysis was integrated the physical components associated with photo interpretation (another objective of this work) based on Google Earth´s air images along the referred highway. In addition, field studies were made that helped in the distribution and compartmentalization of the six geological and geotechnical units and profiles of each specific alteration were also made. The finals results present the above mentioned map, a detailed description of each of the six units and a a geotechnical assessment of the present geological processes and the development of corrective measures necessary to establish safe conditions for road traffic. Also, had success at photo interpretation based on Google Earth´s air images, obtaining stereoscopy

Steam generation plants have several industrial applications, being important for the national and global energetic matrix. Operational knowledge of steam plants is extremely important to forming a Mechanical Engineer. The facilities from Faculty of Engineering of Guaratingueta have a no operated steam pilot plant, named Thermal Machine Lab. Nowadays, the Energy Department from the faculty cannot explore this lab for its classes, even being essential to consolidate the theoretical concepts with tests simulating industrial applications. The goal of this project was to restore the operational condition of equipment of steam laboratory by fixing the equipment, and creating operational scripts for them. In a close future this lab could be used for classes, research and other applications

Our previous studies have shown that low concentrations (noncytotoxics) of antineoplastic agents modulate positively the dendritic cells, favoring their in vitro maturation and improving their antigen presenting function. The effects on colorectal cancer cells (HCT-116) were also investigated and we have observed an increased immunogenicity and susceptibility to cytotoxic T cells. Thereby, this study aimed to investigate the effect of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) an azacitidine (AZA), in minimum effective and noncytotoxic concentrations on lymphocytes of healthy donors. In this study we have analyzed the cytotoxic effect of drugs at these concentrations as well as the proliferative ability of lymphocytes. In vitro production of IL-10 and IFN-γ has been also evaluated. We have observed that low concentrations of those chemotherapeutic agents are not cytotoxic for lymphocytes. However, the minimum effective concentrations (5-FU: 0,410±0,088 e AZA: 0,757±0,233; p<0, 05) have reduced the cell number. Proliferative activity of allogeneic lymphocytes in a mixed reaction (MLR) was not affected by the treatment. The cytokine production was not affected by the treatments, either. In conclusion, low concentrations of 5-FU and AZA has no deleterious effects on human peripheral blood lymphocytes and seems to be safe for combinatory administration with DC vaccines

Certain medicines are considered potentially inappropriate (PIM) for elderly people as they increase the risk of adverse drug events (ADE) and because safer alternative therapies are available on the market. In this context, in order to identify the instruments that assess the quality of medical prescriptions for elderly and to determine which drugs are considered PIM, a bibliographic survey was conducted in PUBMED, LILACS and PAHO databases, in February and March/2010. The search strategy included the use of health descriptors and a manual search in the references cited by selected papers. During the period of data collection, 15 instruments were identified. In 2012, with the publication of the update of Beers criteria, this instrument was included in the study. We identified 163 PIM of 25 therapeutic classes, of which 125 (76.7%) are marketed in Brazil. Of these, 31 (24.8%) are essential medicines (RENAME 2012), of which 13 have safer therapeutic equivalents and 19 (15.2%) are over-the-counter drugs. Data suggest the need for inclusion of safer alternatives for the elderly in the national list of essential medicines and the pharmaceutical care for early detection of ADE in this age group, in order to contribute to the safe use of medicines.

O tratamento clareador se destaca por ser uma técnica conservadora, que pode proporcionar elevação da autoestima e melhorar o convívio social das pessoas. No entanto, pacientes expostos a essa terapia experimentam diferentes níveis de ocorrência e de intensidade de sensibilidade dentária. Essa sintomatologia é preocupante, pois tem sido apontada como o reflexo de uma eventual resposta pulpar frente ao tratamento realizado. Por outro lado, a presença de dor é desestimulante aos pacientes, prejudicando a evolução do tratamento e reduzindo o sentimento de satisfação. Apesar dessa importância, a maior parte dos estudos de sensibilidade dentária ainda emprega métodos subjetivos, dificultando a reprodutibilidade e interpretação dos resultados. Objetivo: nesse sentido, o presente artigo objetiva analisar a resposta neurossensorial proporcionada pela aplicação de estímulos térmicos gerados pelo equipamento TSA II (Medoc TSA II Neurosensory Analyzer, Israel), em um paciente submetido ao tratamento clareador, seguido pelo uso ou não uso de um dessensibilizante. Métodos: as análises foram realizadas antes do clareamento (AC), depois do clareamento (DC) e depois da aplicação ou não do dessensibilizante (DD) em cada hemiarcada estudada. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste t de Student, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: observou-se que o clareamento dentário alterou o limiar de sensação ao frio, provocando aumento da sensibilidade dentária, e que o uso do dessensibilizante foi efetivo. Conclusão: o uso de testes sensoriais quantitativos mostrou-se promissor para o estudo da sensibilidade dentária, podendo colaborar no estabelecimento de terapias seguras e confortáveis.
