The speeches were analyzed based on the theory of mourning. Results: the results showed that the mental health of the visually impaired person is structured through a normative apparatus constituted of individual and social attributes dynamically constructed. These attributes are related to the constitution of stages of mourning, characterized by shock, denial, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The mental health of the visually impaired person contemplates the phases of normal mourning, established before the condition of visual loss, as structuring mode in a process of personal reconstruction, reflected in the ways of walking the life, proper from each one.

Many of these compounds exhibit significant antineoplastic activity. The aim of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic activities of organic extracts and purified barbatic acid from the lichen Cladonia salzmannii (Nyl.). \u0000Methods: The thallus of the lichen (22 g) was cleaned and dried with the solvents diethyl ether, chloroform and acetone. Organic extracts were obtained using the hot exhausted method in a Soxhlet apparatus. Barbatic acid (BAR) was purified from the ether extract (1.3 g). Chemical analysis of the organic extracts and purified BAR was performed using thin-layer chromatography. The purity of purified BAR was determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The MTT method [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] and cytokinesis-block proliferation index (CBPI) were used to determine the cytotoxic activity of the organic extracts and purified BAR. The micronucleus test and comet assay were used to determine genotoxic potential of the organic extracts and purified BAR. Dimethyl sulfoxide was used as the diluting solvent of the samples in all biological tests. \u0000Results: The IC50 results demonstrated significant cytotoxic potential of the ether extract (50 µg/mL) against cell lines NCI-H292 (IC50: 29.91 µg/mL), HEp-2 (IC50: 26.75 µg/mL) and HL-60 (IC50: 3.59 µg/mL) as well as the purified BAR (25 µg/mL) against cell lines HEp-2 (IC50: 15.79 µg/mL) and MCF-7 (IC50: 18.28 µg/mL). The CBPI demonstrated the cytotoxic activity of the purified BAR at all concentrations tested (5, 10, 20 and 40 µg/mL) and all organic extracts (50 µg/mL) against Ehrlich carcinoma cells. For sarcoma 180, only BAR purified at a concentration of 40 µg/mL and the ether and chloroform extracts (50 µg/mL) were considered cytotoxic. The micronucleus test revealed that the purified BAR at a concentration of 5 µg/mL had no genotoxic potential against either tumor cell line. Furthermore, the chloroform extract and purified BAR at a concentration of 10 µg/mL were not considered genotoxic for sarcoma 180. In the comet assay, all compounds tested induced DNA damage in both tumor lines. \u0000Conclusion: Based on the present results, organic extracts and purified barbatic acid from C. salzmannii exhibit cytotoxic and genotoxic activity against of the tumor cell lines tested.","PeriodicalId":73409,"journal":{"name":"International archives of medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48351824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neto","doi":"10.3823/2592","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3823/2592","url":null,"abstract":"Background: One must take into account the conditions that develop the lives of several women who are at risk, above all, in terms of mental health. In addition, Latin American countries dominate the 10 ranking on feminicide. \u0000Objective: To understand the chaotic scenario that haunts the reality of many women around the world. Dark, bloody and restrained are common adjectives to the silent daily suffering they experience. \u0000Results: In general, there’s also a reluctance in some communities to acknowledge violence against women as a problem. Thus, it is noted that such taboos make it difficult to debate the topic. As a consequence, the chauvinism culture silences an already voiceless problem because of the lack of financial support experienced by these women to raise their children. At this stage, demanding justice and upholding the law guaranteeing the right to life of all citizens often seems to be the only way to punish the perpetrators of these women. \u0000Limitations: Although it is a current theme, faced with the situational framework, it is difficult to find evidence about this aspect, it's important to highlight that those vulnerability factors are also risk factors for mental health disorders following assault. It was found that factors such as age, personal characteristics such as the life history of each person, involvement with self-mutilation, participation and support in mental or social services suggest to be more important than the type of aggression as predictors of mental disorders health. \u0000Conclusion: At first sight it seems that it is impossible to give what you do not have for someone who does not want to, but this is only a psychological contradiction if you consider indifference and love, or anger and love, or hatred and love as opposing feelings, as long as those feelings can exist simultaneously. It is necessary for society to reclaim humanity for women to exercise freedom.
