Avaliação do prognóstico com a utilização de dois escores de mortalidade em terapia intensiva pediátrica de nível de atendimento terciário

A redução da mortalidade é um objetivo fundamental das unidades de terapia intensiva pediátrica (UTIP). O estágio de gravidade da doença reflete a magnitude das comorbidades e distúrbios fisiológicos no momento da internação e pode ser avaliada pelos escores prognósticos de mortalidade. Os dois principais escores utilizados na UTIP são o Pediatric Risk of Mortality (PRISM) e o Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM). O PRISM utiliza os piores valores de variáveis fisiológicas e laboratoriais nas primeiras 24 horas de internação enquanto o PIM2 utiliza dados da primeira hora de internação na UTIP e apenas uma gasometria arterial. Não há consenso na literatura, entre PRISM e PIM2, quanto à utilidade e padronização na admissão na terapia intensiva para as crianças e adolescentes, principalmente em uma UTI de nível de atendimento terciário. O objetivo do estudo foi estabelecer o escore de melhor performance na avaliação do prognóstico de mortalidade que seja facilmente aplicável na rotina da UTIP, para ser utilizado de forma padronizada e contínua. Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo onde foram revisados os escores PRISM e PIM2 de 359 pacientes internados na unidade de terapia intensiva pediátrica do Instituto da Criança do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP, considerada uma unidade de atendimento de nível terciário. A mortalidade foi de 15%, o principal tipo de admissão foi clinico (78%) sendo a principal causa de internação a disfunção respiratória (37,3%). Os escores dos pacientes que foram a óbito mostraram-se maiores do que o dos sobreviventes. Para o PRISM foi 15 versus 7 (p = 0,0001) e para o PIM2, 11 versus 5 (p = 0,0002), respectivamente. Para a amostra geral, o Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) subestimou a mortalidade tanto para o PIM2 quanto para o PRISM [1,15 (0,84 - 1,46) e 1,67 (1,23 - 2,11), respectivamente]. O teste de Hosmer-Lemeshow mostrou calibração adequada para ambos os escores [x2 = 12,96 (p = 0,11) para o PRISM e x2 = 13,7 (p = 0,09) para o PIM2]. A discriminação, realizada por meio da área sob a curva ROC, foi mais adequada para o PRISM do que para o PIM2 [0,76 (IC 95% 0,69 - 0,83) e 0,65 (IC 95% 0,57 - 0,72), respectivamente, p= 0,002]. No presente estudo, a melhor sensibilidade e especificidade para o risco de óbito do PRISM foi um escore entre 13 e 14, mostrando que, com o avanço tecnológico, o paciente precisa ter um escore mais elevado, ou seja, maior gravidade clínica do que a população original, para um maior risco de mortalidade. Os escores de gravidade podem ter seus resultados modificados em consequência: do sistema de saúde (público ou privado), da infraestrutura da UTIP (número de leitos, recursos humanos, parque tecnológico) e indicação da internação. A escolha de um escore de gravidade depende das características individuais da UTIP, como o tempo de espera na emergência, presença de doença crônica complexa (por exemplo, pacientes oncológicos) e como é realizado o transporte para a UTIP. Idealmente, estudos multicêntricos têm maior significância estatística. No entanto, estudos com populações maiores e mais homogêneas, especialmente nos países em desenvolvimento, são difíceis de serem realizados

Percepção do clima de segurança do paciente em instituições hospitalares

Quase um em cada dez pacientes é lesionado ao receber cuidados de saúde e, destes, muitos sofrem lesões incapacitantes ou morte todos os anos. Entendendo a importância e o impacto negativo das falhas na segurança do paciente em âmbito global e a influência que a cultura e o clima de segurança exercem sobre a adoção de ações e decisões mais seguras, este estudo teve por objetivo a analise da cultura de segurança do paciente em instituições hospitalares, por meio da mensuração do clima de segurança. Trata-se de pesquisa quantitativa, transversal, do tipo Survey, em que para a realização da coleta de dados foi aplicado o Questionário de Atitudes de Segurança, adaptação transcultural para o Brasil do Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) - Short Form 2006. O estudo ocorreu em dois hospitais gerais do estado de São Paulo, localizados em diferentes regiões metropolitanas, sendo um público e o outro privado. Os profissionais Médicos, Enfermeiros, Técnicos e Auxiliares de Enfermagem, Fisioterapeutas, Farmacêuticos e Nutricionistas, que atuavam nestes hospitais há pelo menos 6 meses, com carga horária de trabalho semanal de no mínimo 20 horas, constituíram a população deste estudo. Foi realizado um estudo piloto com 25 profissionais em cada hospital e a prevalência resultante deste teste foi utilizada no cálculo do tamanho amostral com nível de significância de 5%, erro relativo de 10% e perda de 20%, resultando em um total de 235 participantes. Os profissionais escolhidos como parte da amostra foram sorteados empregando-se amostragem aleatória simples computadorizada. As variáveis de cada domínio da escala quando testadas pelo Teste Kolmogorov-Smirnov não apresentaram normalidade. Deste modo, foi aplicado o Teste Mann-Whitney para comparar os valores das pontuações entre os hospitais e entre as categorias profissionais. Com relação aos resultados houve índice de participação de 86,8% da amostra sorteada, prevalecendo os sujeitos com 5 a 20 anos de tempo na especialidade, do gênero feminino, e trabalhadores da enfermagem. Não houve diferenças significantes dentre as pontuações obtidas pelos dois hospitais. Os participantes do estudo apresentaram percepção negativa quanto ao clima de segurança do paciente, com domínios Reconhecimento do Estresse e Percepção da Gestão apresentando resultados negativos, tanto para a amostra como um todo quanto por hospital. Os domínios Clima de Trabalho em Equipe, Satisfação no Trabalho e Comportamento Seguro/Práticas Seguras resultaram em percepções positivas para todas as categorias profissionais. Já o domínio Percepção da Gestão do Hospital resultou em percepção negativa para todas estas. Os Médicos e os Técnicos e Auxiliares de Enfermagem apresentaram percepções negativas em mais domínios. Em contrapartida, os Enfermeiros foram os únicos a apresentar atitude de segurança do paciente positiva, com escore total do SAQ exibindo diferença significante quando comparado a todas as outras categorias, apresentando também percepção positiva em maior número de domínios. Concluiu-se que existe a necessidade de abordagem relacionada ao Reconhecimento do Estresse dos profissionais, além dos aspectos do Gerenciamento. As categorias profissionais diferiram entre si com relação às percepções sobre a atitude de segurança do paciente. Desta forma, o desenvolvimento da cultura de segurança deve englobar todas as categorias profissionais, uma vez que esta abrange toda a organização, destacando-se a necessidade de enfoque de ações com relação a categoria dos Médicos e dos Técnicos e Auxiliares de Enfermagem. Além disso, ficou evidente o papel de destaque e liderança dos profissionais Enfermeiros nos processos de melhoria da qualidade, e colocando-os em posição privilegiada para conduzir os esforços de melhoria contínua da qualidade nos serviços de saúde

A integralidade no cuidado das pessoas vivendo com HIV e AIDS: a experiência do Centro de Referência e Treinamento em DST/AIDS da SES-SP

Ao assumir o compromisso com a prevenção e tratamento, baseada no princípio da integralidade, a estratégia brasileira, fez a diferença na resposta nacional à aids nas décadas de 1980/90 e criou um novo paradigma que mostrou-se avançado do ponto de vista técnico, ético e político, contribuindo para a mudança nas recomendações das agências internacionais (OMS\\Banco Mundial) - do \"não tratar e só prevenir\" do início dos anos 1990, para o \"Tratamento como Prevenção\", base da atual proposta dos 90/90/90. Essa estratégia de controle da epidemia concentra responsabilidade na Rede de Serviços, em um período de discussão sobre mudanças no modelo de atenção a ser priorizado no país. Características relevantes dos contextos político e programáticos permitiram uma maior efetivação do cuidado às PVHA no Estado de São Paulo. O objetivo do presente estudo é recuperar a história do Centro de Referência e Treinamento em DST/Aids (CRT) na gestão e organização programática do cuidado em HIV/Aids no Estado de São Paulo, no período de 1988 a 2015, interpretando-a sob a perspectiva dos aspectos facilitadores e limitadores da incorporação prática do princípio da integralidade às ações de saúde. Realizou-se, nesse sentido, uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre o tema da integralidade no campo da Saúde Coletiva Brasileira nas últimas cinco décadas. Tomando por base o cotejamento com esse desenvolvimento conceitual, a trajetória do CRT foi analisada por meio de entrevistas com atores-chaves no processo da gestão e organização programática do cuidado das PVHA no Estado de São Paulo, e análise dos documentos produzidos no processo. Esta análise foi organizada em torno de dois grandes eixos temáticos: (1) a criação e estruturação do CRT, e (2) as relações entre o CRT, os Programas Municipais de DST/aids e a rede de serviços assistenciais no Estado de São Paulo. Entre os resultados do estudo, destacam-se o resgate e reflexão crítica sobre o desenvolvimento dos discursos tecnocientíficos sobre integralidade no contexto das propostas de reforma da saúde no Brasil; a incorporação desses construtos às propostas desenvolvidas pelo CRT, especialmente em torno aos conceitos de vulnerabilidade, cuidado, clínica ampliada e direitos humanos em saúde; e a identificação de arranjos institucionais, estratégias técnicas e configurações políticas que permitiram ao CRT o exercício articulado de três níveis de gestão do cuidado (das PVHA, dos serviços e da Rede) numa mesma plataforma. Conclui-se apontando alcances e limites na efetivação da integralidade, que se mostraram desiguais nos três níveis de gestão do cuidado. Aponta-se maiores avanços na dimensão gerencial da rede e as maiores dificuldades na efetivação da integralidade no cuidado das PVHA e na gestão dos serviços de saúde

A influência do conforto luminoso na satisfação dos profissionais que atuam no ginásio do Centro de Reabilitação Infantil, Natal-RN

This study addresses the environmental quality in therapeutic spaces for children's rehabilitation. The assumption that space is active and interfere in interpersonal relationships, highlights the importance of natural light to the hospital architecture, to foster the creation of environments that encourage and assist in the recovery of patients in the rehabilitation process. Therefore, interferes with health humanization through positive actions in the physiological and emotional effects of natural light, as facilitators of the health recovery process. In Brazil hospital openings systems projects are built exclusively to follow requirements of the local construction code which do not consider the landscape, but only ventilation and heat stroke; and the luminance levels are treated just as recommendations for artificial lighting. The National Policy for Healthcare Humanization presents the environmental comfort as a priority. However, it does not guidelines for achieving it. In this context this research aims to evaluate the lighting comfort in infant therapeutic areas from the professional satisfaction, in order to identify human preferences on the variables: technical and constructive aspects, relationship with the exterior, internal visual interface and quality elements. With this purpose it was adopted as research strategy the Post-Occupancy Evaluation (Technical Functional) through a multi method approach, which included a case study in the rehabilitation gym of Children Rehabilitation Center, at Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, and a reference study at SARAH Rehabilitation Center, Fortaleza Unit at Ceará, both in Brazil northeast. The results indicate that the definition of openings systems should consider external and internal factors to the building, as the natural landscape, the immediate surroundings and activities to be performed. The POE found out the preference of the professional visual privacy in detriment to other analyzed aspects. Thus, it is expected that this study can contribute to the discussion of luminous quality and generate inputs for future projects or renovations in the Children's Rehabilitation Centers, which should not be projected as hospitals

Concepções de mulheres com deficiência física sobre a maternidade

The study aimed to understand the concept of women with physical disabilities about their ability to gestate, give birth or care a child. This is an exploratory, descriptive study with qualitative approach developed in three non-governmental organizations in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The data collection occurred in the period from April to June, 2014, through semi-structured interviews, using a script composed by sociodemographic questions and a guiding one. It was obtained a priori the permission from the association’s directors, the approval from the Research Ethics Committee, of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, CAAE nº 27442814.7.0000.5537 and the assent n° 618.045, as well as the participant’s formal authorization by signing the Informed Consent Statement. Participated in the study 12 women, selected according to the following inclusion criteria: to have physical disability, to be aged 18 to 49 years old, and to affirm the existence of limiting characteristics from early childhood (0-3 years). The information obtained in the interviews were subjected to the precepts of Content Analysis according to Bardin, under the thematic analysis technique. From this process, three categories emerged: Conceiving motherhood in front of disability; Conceiving the capacity to be mother with disability; and Conceiving the support during pregnancy and puerperium period. As the theoretical framework we adopted the principles of symbolic interactionism proposed by Blumer. The discussion was supported by literature findings on women's health care in the context of reproduction. The interviewees conceive motherhood as an accomplishment and believe in their own ability to gestate, give birth and care a child. However, the desire for the maternal role tends to be influenced by adverse feelings and limitations raised by disability, social barriers and prejudices. They also referred the importance of support from partner, family and health professionals in the care of child. Upon these findings, it is understood that although there are barriers to the realization of their desire, these barriers were not enough to make them give up on becoming a mother. Therefore, it is necessary that health professionals, highlighted the nurse, be trained to care for women with disabilities in the context of reproductive health care in order to offer adequate support to their needs

Estudo do domínio segurança/proteção da NANDA internacional em pacientes de unidade de terapia intensiva

The study aimed to analyze the field of nursing diagnoses safety / protection of NANDA International present in patients in the Intensive Care Unit. This is a crosssectional study in intensive care complex of a university hospital in northeastern Brazil. The research took place in two stages. The first step was to collect data through an interview form and physical examination, with 86 patients admitted to the unit, during the months of December 2013 to May 2014. Spreadsheets were built in Microsoft Office Excel 2010 Software in which were marked by the researcher of this study, the presence or absence of defining characteristics, related factors and risk factors of the 31 studied diagnoses. In the second stage, held between July and August 2014, the sheets were sent to three diagnosticians, previously trained to perform the diagnostic inference. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics for the diagnoses that showed higher frequencies than 50%, using IBM SPSS version 20.0 for Statistic Windows.O project was approved by the 440/414 and Presentation Certificate for Ethics Assessment number 22955113 .2.0000.5292. The results indicated the presence of 29 field of nursing diagnoses safety / protection in hospital clientele in the Intensive Care Unit, of which five were present in 100% of patients, namely: Risk of contamination, injury risk, falls risk,risk of allergic response and risk of trauma. Diagnoses that presented more frequently than 50% were: Risk of infection, dry eye risk, poisoning risk, vascular trauma risk, impaired skin integrity, impaired dentition, bleeding risk, risk imbalance in body temperature, Risk perioperative positioning injury, impaired tissue integrity, peripheral neurovascular dysfunction Risk, Risk adverse response to contrast media with iodine, shock Hazard and Risk of aspiration. For these analyzes, we identified 35 risk factors, 11 defining characteristics and three related factors showed statistically significant association with the studied diagnoses. For diagnostics: Risk of contamination, injury risk, falls risk, allergic response risk, trauma Risk, Risk of infection, dry eye risk and risk poisoning there was no association with any of their risk factors. We conclude that most of the area of nursing diagnoses safety / protection feature is prevalent in critically ill patients, with special attention to the risk diagnoses. There was a significant association between these diagnoses and its components. It is noteworthy, therefore, that the lifting of this profile contributes relevant clues to the inference of the priority nursing diagnoses domain safety / protection in the study population, supporting the practice of nursing and stimulating knowledge on the subject.

Resiliência e apoio social em gestantes tardias

The gestation process, in general, is a very important event on a woman’s life and it brings phisical, phisiological and emotional changes, which by itself is an experience full of intense feelings. By late-aged pregnancy we mean those which occurs at the age of 35 or further. The occurance of this type of pregnancy is rising in Brasil and throughout the world, factors such as, better access to birth control resources and the search for financial stability explains the pregnancy delay. Important processes like resilience and social support can help late-aged pregnant women, in a benefical way, to adapt to the gestation process. Resilience is the capacity that a certain individual or group of individuals have to go through an adverse situation, be able to overcome it and become streghtened, transforming it in motivation for its biopsichosocial development. Social support is a complex and dinamic process that involves transactions between individuals and their social networks, meeting the social needs, promoting and complementing the personal resources that they have to face new demands. This research has the intention of raising information about the issues of late-aged pregnant women in the County of Natal- RN, the main objective was to evaluate the resilience indicators and the social support on late-aged pregnant women in the Natal-RN County. A transversal cut, correlational and descriptive research that was done with 150 lateaged pregnant women. The tools that were used were: A form with sociodemographic and gestation info, the scale of resilience and social support. An eletronic spreadsheet sofware (Excel e SPSS 21.0) was used to analize data which helped on the statistics according to its variables and the objective of this work. For the nominal variables, relative frequencies were used and for continuous the Pearson correlation and determination coefficient were used, regarding that; the sample had a normal distribution. The project fulfilled the ethnic aspects prescribed by Resolution 466/12 of the National Health Council, with a favorable decision (356.436/ 2013) of the UFRN Ethics on Research Committee. Most of the pregnant women had a low money income and education level, born in the state of Rio Grande do Norte they had an average age of 37,49 (±2,577), catholic, married, house wives, they had more than one child and were on their third trimester of pregnancy; they also had a low past abortion rate, not having planned their pregnancy, with an average of 4,22 (±2,506) pre-natal appointments, residing with an average of 3,673 (±1,397) people, having used any sort of birth control device and having high indicators of resilience and social support. The correlations kept between resilience, social support and some of the social demographics and gestation variables were considered low. Such data points out the fact that most of these women were in a stable relationship; they hadn’t had a past of abortion, they were involved with some kind of religion, they were not first pregnancy mothers, had an age on which they are not considered inexperienced mothers and even had scored high on the social support scale, these may all possibly be the most contributing factors on development and resilience building on these 35 years or more mothers. We expect that the data and information from this research may add up knowledge, actions and improvements regarding late-aged pregnant women and the pregnancy phenomena in general.

Atividade de formação interprofissional em urgência pré-hospitalar

To acting in emergencies it is important that health professionals develop specific and differentiated skills, which shows us the importance of training in emergency planning. So undergraduate courses in medicine and nursing should encourage the development of these skills and evaluate them through various instruments targeted to the different fields. The aim of this study was to implement an optional and interprofessional curricular component, focusing on interprofessional education in pre-hospital emergency for medical and nursing courses Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). This is an exploratory descriptive study, with 24 medical and nursing graduates of last year undergraduate of supervised training, who underwent theoretical and practical training in the care of pre-hospital emergency services. There were theoretical and practical lessons per week for one school semester, taught by doctors and nurses of the Emergency Medical Service (EMS), where the topics discussed were: basic and advanced life support, safe transport in clinical emergencies, trauma, gynecological, obstetric, pediatric and psychiatric diseases, and have been carried out practical activities in ambulances. The students were evaluated by pre-test, post-test and practical stations made through the Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE), in the skills laboratory of the Health Sciences Center. During the activities the students were encouraged to critical and reflective thinking, highlighting the importance of integration between the various health care professionals. It was observed that 88% of the students had a score increase over the pre-test. In the evaluation process carried out by medical students and nursing UFRN have similar expectations regarding the essential skills acquired during the training activity. The results of this study will form the basis for the organization of interprofessional education activity in pre-hospital emergency medical students and nursing, as well as helped to organize practices stations, identifying basic clinical skills, and implementing student assessment tools UFRN.

Segurança do paciente em terapia intensiva neonatal: identificação e análise de eventos adversos

The patient safety is a major concern in health services for its global dimension, as evidenced by the fragility of care processes that predispose an occurrence of adverse events. These events in a neonatal intensive care unit are considered serious and hazardous to lives of newborns. The present study aimed to identify and analyze adverse events in a neonatal intensive care unit based in Trigger Tool. It is an epidemiological, cross-sectional , exploratory, retrospective study with quantitative, descriptive and analytical approach, performed in 2015 at a school hospital. The sample was not probabilistic, involving 116 newborns who met the eligibility criteria. Data collection was performed by retrospective review of medical records, using a specific kind of "trigger" instrument, composed of sentinel events in neonatology, adapted from the American model used by the Vermont-Oxford Network. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The chi-square test for linear trend was used to assess the associations between the variables of interest. The research received a favorable agreement from Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, under number 1055533, and Presentation Certificate for Ethics Assessment 43894515.6.0000.5537. The results show among investigated newborns, 110 experienced at least one adverse event during their stay, with a total of 391 medical records analyzed and rate of 3.37 events per patient. Prevailed the preterm newborns with low birth weight, from mother who had hypertensive diseases during pregnancy and urinary tract infection. The average hospitalization time was 25 days, associated with hospital-acquired infections events (p = 0.01). Among the identified adverse events stood out the events related to thermoregulation disorders (39.0%), with prevalence of hypothermia (26.0%), followed by health care-related infections (16.4%) and blood glucose disorders, hypoglycemia (9.00%) and hyperglycemia (6.64%). Most of these incidents were classified in categories E and F, which represents that there was damage small proportion. Due to these damages come from the care practice with newborn, 78% were classified as avoidable. There was statistically significant association between the variable birth weight with infections (p = 0.006) as well as peri/intraventricular bleeding (p = 0.02), hypoglycemia (p = 0.021), hyperglycemia (p = 0.001), hyperthermia (p = 0.39) and death (p=0,02). Gestational age was associated with seizures (p = 0.002), hyperglycemia (p=0.017) e hyperthermia (p=0.027). The security institution culture was reported by the health workers as intermediate, even though the number of adverse events found in only one unit of service indicates that there is much to be done. Thus the high rate of adverse events identified in the neonatal intensive care unit reinforces the necessity to elaborate specific preventive strategies for this risk environment.

Avaliação de qualidade da unidade de diálise no Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes - HUOL

Over the years there has been a broader definition of the term health. At the same time it was found also an evolution of the concept of health care which in turn has led to changes in the approach to delivery of health services and hence in its management. In this regard, currently the nephrology services have been searching for quality technical and social need. In view of these innovations and the quest for quality, it elaborated the general objective: to develop a quality assessment protocol for dialysis service Onofre Lopes University Hospital. It is an intervention project effected through an action research, which consisted of 4 steps. Initially was identified through a literature search in scientific literature, which quality indicators would apply to a dialysis unit being selected as follows: infection rate in hemodialysis access site, microbiological control of water used for hemodialysis and Index User satisfaction. Through critical reflection on the theme researched in the previous step, it was drawn up three data collection instruments, interview form type, applied between the months of October and November 2015. In addition to the information obtained, also made up of the use of information retrieval technique. The results were organized in graphs and tables and analyzed using qualitative and exploratory technical approach. Then a reflective analysis of the data obtained and the diagnosis of reality studied was traced and confronted with the literature was performed. The data produced in this study revealed that the Dialysis Unit of HUOL is much to be desired, considering that some weaknesses have been identified in its structure. Faced with this finding have been proposed, as a contribution and aiming to guide the development of future actions, suggestions for improvement that should be implemented and monitored to be assured overcoming these difficulties, allowing an appropriate organizational restructuring, and resulting in improved service public offered. It was concluded that for hemodialysis treatment results are achieved and positive, it is necessary to have physical structure and adequate infrastructure, multidisciplinary team specialized, trained and in sufficient quantity, well designed processes for professionals to have standards to be followed decreasing the chance to err, and a risk management system to detect and control situations that endanger patient safety.

Avaliação de duas variedades de Passiflora edulis sobre as respostas comportamentais de camundongos e um possível mecanismo de ação

The medicinal plants constitute a rich source of biologically active compounds used for the treatment of many psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety disorders and depression. Generalized anxiety disorder has increased significantly, being the second most prevalent disorder in care facilities to public health. Depression is considered a chronic and common psychiatric disorder that affects 350 million people of all ages around the world. In this context, the pharmacological intervention conduits have been employed, effective, although leave to be desired when observed adverse effects. The genus Passiflora is commonly commercially known by its fruit, but is also widely used in traditional Brazilian medicine. Passiflora edulis displays considerable morphological variability. This plant produces two types of fruit: Purple (Passiflora edulis Sims fo. edulis) and yellow (Passiflora edulis fo. flavicarpa Degener). This study investigated the central effects of aqueous extract of the leaves of the two varieties of the species Passiflora edulis in tests used to assess behavior related to anxiety and depression, as well as investigating the potential effect of the antidepressant-like fractions of edulis fo. edulis and neuropharmacological mechanisms responsible for this action. To conduct this study used male Swiss mice (2 months old, weighing 30-35 g). The animals received the aqueous extract of the leaves of the two species of Passiflora: edulis fo. edulis (100, 300, 1000 mg / kg) and fractions ethyl acetate, butanol and aqueous waste (25, 50, 75, 100 mg / kg) and edulis fo. flavicarpa (30, 100, 300, 1000 mg / kg) or saline by gavage 60 minutes prior to the maze tests at high cross the open field test, test forced swim test and sedation induced by thiopental. To investigate the mechanism of action of the activity of antidepressant type of fractions the following drugs were used: PCPA (inhibitor of 5-HT synthesis) AMPT (inhibitor of catecholamine synthesis), DSP-4 (noradrenergic neurotoxin) and Sulpiride (antagonist selective dopamine D2 receptor). They were used as a standard positive control, fluoxetine and nortriptyline. The results of the phytochemical profile show very different characteristics to the aqueous extract of the varieties of Passiflora edulis "flavicarpa" and "edulis". The aqueous extracts of both varieties of Passiflora edulis share anxiolytic activity type (edulis fo. edulis 300 mg/kg; edulis fo. flavicarpa 300 and 1000 mg/kg) and antidepressant (edulis fo. edulis 300 mg/kg; edulis fo flavicarpa 1000 mg/kg), while the effect hipolocomotor/sedative was only seen for edulis fo. edulis (1000 mg/kg). Both fractions ethyl acetate, butanol aqueous extract edulis fo. edulis showed activity type antidepressant at a dose of 50 mg/kg in the forced swim test. The data suggest that the effect of antidepressant-like fractions edulis fo. edulis involves catecholaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission, particularly dopaminergic, there is seen that pre-treatment DSP-4 is not affected antidepressant action of fractions as was dependent activation of dopamine D2 receptors.

Avaliação de duas variedades de Passiflora edulis sobre as respostas comportamentais de camundongos e um possível mecanismo de ação

The medicinal plants constitute a rich source of biologically active compounds used for the treatment of many psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety disorders and depression. Generalized anxiety disorder has increased significantly, being the second most prevalent disorder in care facilities to public health. Depression is considered a chronic and common psychiatric disorder that affects 350 million people of all ages around the world. In this context, the pharmacological intervention conduits have been employed, effective, although leave to be desired when observed adverse effects. The genus Passiflora is commonly commercially known by its fruit, but is also widely used in traditional Brazilian medicine. Passiflora edulis displays considerable morphological variability. This plant produces two types of fruit: Purple (Passiflora edulis Sims fo. edulis) and yellow (Passiflora edulis fo. flavicarpa Degener). This study investigated the central effects of aqueous extract of the leaves of the two varieties of the species Passiflora edulis in tests used to assess behavior related to anxiety and depression, as well as investigating the potential effect of the antidepressant-like fractions of edulis fo. edulis and neuropharmacological mechanisms responsible for this action. To conduct this study used male Swiss mice (2 months old, weighing 30-35 g). The animals received the aqueous extract of the leaves of the two species of Passiflora: edulis fo. edulis (100, 300, 1000 mg / kg) and fractions ethyl acetate, butanol and aqueous waste (25, 50, 75, 100 mg / kg) and edulis fo. flavicarpa (30, 100, 300, 1000 mg / kg) or saline by gavage 60 minutes prior to the maze tests at high cross the open field test, test forced swim test and sedation induced by thiopental.
