Cryptotanshinone (CTS), a major constituent from the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), is widely used in the treatment of coronary heart disease, stroke and less commonly Alzheimer's disease. Our recent study indicates that CTS is a substrate for Pglycoprotein (PgP/MDR1/ABCB1). This study has investigated the nature of the brain distribution of CTS across the brain-blood barrier (BBB) using several in vitro and in vivo rodent models. A polarized transport of CTS was found in rat primary microvascular endothelial cell (RBMVEC) monolayers, with facilitated efflux from the abluminal side to luminal side. Addition of a PgP (e.g. verapamil and quinidine) or multi-drug resistance protein 1/2 (MRP1/2) inhibitor (e.g. probenecid and MK-571) in both luminal and abluminal sides attenuated the polarized transport. In a bilateral in situ brain perfusion model, the uptake of CTS into the cerebrum increased from 0.52 ± 0.1% at 1 min to 11.13 ± 2.36 ml/100 g tissue at 30 min and was significantly greater than that of sucrose. Co-perfusion of a PgP/MDR1 (e.g. verapamil) or MRP1/2 inhibitor (e.g. probenecid) significantly increased the brain distribution of CTS by 35.1-163.6%. The brain levels of CTS were only about 21% of those in plasma, and were significantly increased when coadministered with verapamil or probenecid in rats. The brain levels of CTS in rats subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion and rats treated with quinolinic acid (a neurotoxin) were about 2- to 2.5-fold higher than the control rats. Moreover, the brain levels in mdr1a(-/-) and mrp1(-/-) mice were 10.9- and 1.5-fold higher than those in the wild-type mice, respectively. Taken collectively, these findings indicate that PgP and Mrp1 limit the brain penetration of CTS in rodents, suggesting a possible role of PgP and MRP1 in limiting the brain penetration of CTS in patients and causing drug resistance to Danshen therapy and interactions with conventional drugs that are substrates of PgP and MRP1. Further studies are needed to explore the role of other drug transporters in restricting the brain penetration of CTS and the clinical relevance.

O trabalho desenvolvido tem por objetivo uma sistematização teórica do estudo do conceito da causalidade na Psicologia. Aborda a contribuição da Epistemologia nas obras de Hume, Kant e Maine Biran e, mais recentemente, Mario Bunge, e da Epistemologia Genética nos estudos desenvolvidos por Jean Piaget. Na Psicologia Contemporânea, temos a obra dos psicólogos K. Koffka, W. Köhler e S. Asch dentro da Psicologia da Gestalt, que apresenta relevante in fluência nos atuais trabalhos desenvolvidos' em Psicologia sobre o conceito de causalidade. A posição gestaltista aparece influenciando a obra de Michotte, de caráter fenomenológico. Ainda, em todo o trabalho dos psicólogos sociais em 'relação à causalidade. Inicialmente em Heider, o qual formula a noção de atribuição de causalidade, objeto de estudos por vários autores, entre os quais destacamos Jones e Davis, Kelley e Kruglanski. Concluímos considerando, em termos avaliativos, as diversas perspectivas teóricas apresentadas, o que nos permite um questionamento da posição atual da psicologia nos estudos sobre a causalidade.

This work aims to read the phenomenon of the Sublime as the main aesthetical concern in the work of the Brazilian poet Mario Quintana. The research was based on the dialogical approach used by Mario Quintana to see life & poetry. This search noticed that such aesthetical concern is an answer to the modern age that surrounds the post-war man. Immerse in his aesthetical concerns, Mario Quintana designs, through his poetry, a way to give humanity back to men. In this attempt of rupture, Mario Quintana returns to tradition through astonishment besides laughter
