Validação de metodologia analítica para determinação de residual de detergente alcalino

O presente trabalho foi realizado nas dependências da FURP (Fundação para o Remédio Popular) de Américo Brasiliense - SP, com o objetivo de validar o método de determinação para residual de detergente alcalino nos equipamentos de revestimento de comprimidos. O trabalho foi desenvolvido no laboratório do Controle de Qualidade da FURP. A validação de limpeza é um tema pouco visto durante o curso de graduação em Farmácia - Bioquímica, porém bastante importante dentro da Indústria Farmacêutica. O processo de limpeza dos equipamentos utilizados na indústria farmacêutica deve ser validado para garantir a qualidade dos produtos. Determinar o residual de um produto de limpeza em um equipamento assegura que o agente de limpeza usado no processo, no caso o detergente alcalino, esteja em uma quantidade dentro do limite aceitável após a limpeza do equipamento. Primeiramente, validou-se o método analítico utilizado para determinar a quantidade de resíduo através da condutividade. Foram analisados os parâmetros linearidade, precisão e especificidade, que se encontraram dentro do limite permitido. Também foi realizado o estudo de recuperação (recovery) do resíduo de detergente do equipamento para confirmar a eficácia da técnica de amostragem juntamente com o método analítico quantitativo escolhido. Após a validação da metodologia analítica quantitativa e o estudo de recuperação foi possível definir um procedimento adequado para a análise do residual de detergente alcalino nos equipamentos submetidos ao processo de limpeza. Juntamente com o setor de Garantia da Qualidade, também foi realizado o estudo de validação da limpeza dos equipamentos da linha de sólidos da FURP (unidade Américo Brasiliense), neste estudo foi avaliado se o procedimento de limpeza estava sendo eficiente e também foi possível fazer a determinação de residual de detergente alcalino presente no equipamento após amostragem com swab, ...

Detecção de Histophilus somni (Haemophilus somnus) no sêmen bovino mediante reação em cadeia pela polimerase (PCR)

The present study evaluated the use of PCR for Histophilus somni detection in bovine semen. Semen samples were experimentally infected with H. somni at dilutions ranging from 107 to 101 bacteria/mL and subjected to DNA extraction by the phenol/chloroform method, followed by PCR amplification. The amplification products were analyzed by electrophoresis in 8% acrylamide gel. The oligonucleotide primers used yielded an amplification fragment of 400 base pairs from the bacterial DNA. Positive amplification was obtained even for the 101 bacteria/mL dilution. PCR proved to be an efficient method for the detection of H. somni. The results obtained in this study have brought relevant information for the diagnosis of H. somni, justifying the need for the diagnosis of this bacterium in bulls, especially in semen samples that should be free of contamination. The PCR method has shown to be a useful tool for the quality control of semen produced in artificial insemination centers.

Influência das variações pluviais nos teores de flúor em águas de poços

Introduction: The fluoridation surveillance in the public water supply came up with the need to develop mechanisms that would help society in the control of water quality. To perform reliable analysis, variables such as depth of the wells and pluvial variations should be subject of research and study. Objectives: To analyze the fluoride levels of deep wells in periods of rain and drought, corresponding to four brazilian cities and compare the results. Methodology: It was made the mapping of the water supply network and the identification of the sampling points according to the number of deep wells in each locality, selecting those who had the natural fluoride level. Three points were defined for each source of water supply, and the addresses were randomly selected. The samples were analyzed in duplicate at the laboratory of the Center for Research in Public Health of the Dentistry School of Araçatuba – UNESP, during 8 months, in periods of rain and drought (total absence of rain). Results: 174 analysis were conducted, the mean fluoride levels for rain and drought times were, respectively: 0,71 and 0,73. It was used the Student’s t test (p <0.05). Conclusion: There wasn’t statistically significant differences for the periods of rain and drought in any of the cities, at the year of 2010. This study highlights the importance of health surveillance, because beyond of ensuring social control, there is also the search for investigating variables that may have directly and / or indirectly influence on the results of the analysis.

Validation of analytical methodology for quantification of cefazolin sodium by liquid chromatography

A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography method was validated for the determination of cefazolin sodium in lyophilized powder for solution for injection to be applied for quality control in pharmaceutical industry. The liquid chromatography method was conducted on a Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 μm), maintained at room temperature. The mobile phase consisted of purified water: acetonitrile (60: 40 v/v), adjusted to pH 8 with triethylamine. The flow rate was of 0.5 mL min-1 and effluents were monitored at 270 nm. The retention time for cefazolin sodium was 3.6 min. The method proved to be linear (r2 =0.9999) over the concentration range of 30-80 µg mL-1. The selectivity of the method was proven through degradation studies. The method demonstrated satisfactory results for precision, accuracy, limits of detection and quantitation. The robustness of this method was evaluated using the Plackett–Burman fractional factorial experimental design with a matrix of 15 experiments and the statistical treatment proposed by Youden and Steiner. Finally, the proposed method could be also an advantageous option for the analysis of cefazolin sodium, contributing to improve the quality control and to assure the therapeutic efficacy

Relação dos saltos vertical, horizontal e sêxtuplo com a agilidade e velocidade em crianças

The aim of the present study were: 1) To verify the relationship of vertical, horizontal and sextuple jumps with agility and velocity of 5, 10 and 25 m; 2) To verify the capacity of these jumps to predict the agility and 5, 10 and 25 m velocity performance in children. Twenty eight boys (9.47 ± 0.64 years) and thirty girls (9.69 ± 0.70 years) were evaluated. The correlation values between agility and velocity on 5, 10 and 25 m velocity were, respectively, r = 0.63, 0.51, 0.44 and 0.64 with vertical jump, r = 0.68, 0.62, 0.28 and 0.62 with sextuple jump, and r = 0.60, 0.50, 0.26 and 0.57 with horizontal jump. The vertical and sextuple jumps were able to predict the agility and 25 m velocity performance (p < 0.05). Furthermore, they demonstrated capacity to predict 5 and 10 m velocity, respectively (p < 0.05). The vertical and sextuple jump tests may be used for assessment and control of training with children practicing activities that require agility and velocity, since both jumps predicted the agility and velocity performance, which did not occur with the horizontal jump.
