“…These treatments based on ethnomedicinal knowledge are provided in several indigenous communities distributed throughout Brazil, such as the Kantaruré, in Bahia, and the Tenetehar-Tembé, in Pará, in addition to the Potiguara, in Paraíba. [29][30][31] The health practices developed by the Potiguara go beyond access to biomedical care, and occur in a heterogeneous way, through the association of traditional medicine and allopathic medicine. In the village of São Francisco, for instance, medicinal herbs are commonly used in the production of tea, natural products and juice, applied to headaches, inflammations and flu.…”

Objective to analyze, from the perspective of interculturality, the meanings attributed to HIV/AIDS that make up the repertoires of women in interethnic situations. Method a descriptive, retrospective study, developed based on the primary research database. The sample consisted of 642 records, from the application of the Word Association Test, with 386 non-indigenous women and 256 indigenous women from the municipality of Rio Tinto-PB. The responses learned from the AIDS-inducing stimulus were categorized according to group belonging, age and marital status. Data were processed by the IRaMuTeQ software, and analyzed using the Descending Hierarchical Classification, complementary specificities and factorial correspondence analysis techniques. The discussions were based on the three perspectives that encompass interculturality: relational, functional and critical. Results Three classes were formed: Biomedical Repertoire, Socio-emotional Repertoire and Behavioral Repertoire. Biomedical Repertoire was the most significant for both groups, being led by non-indigenous women; the socio-emotional and behavioral constituents were mostly represented by indigenous women. Final considerations and implications for practice in this interethnic setting, intercultural dialogue materializes in the exchange of a heterogeneous way of thinking-knowing-doing, which unfolds in the light of relational and functional interculturality, demonstrating embryonic movements towards critical interculturality.

Resumo Objetivo analisar, sob a perspectiva da interculturalidade, os significados atribuídos ao HIV/AIDS que compõem os repertórios de mulheres em situação interétnica. Método estudo descritivo, retrospectivo, desenvolvido com base no banco de dados de pesquisa primária. A amostra foi constituída por 642 registros, provenientes da aplicação do Teste de Associação Livre de Palavras, com 386 mulheres não indígenas e 256 mulheres indígenas procedentes do município de Rio Tinto-PB. As respostas apreendidas do estímulo indutor AIDS foram categorizadas segundo grupo de pertencimento, idade e conjugalidade. Os dados foram processados pelo software IraMuTeQ, e analisados pelas técnicas de Classificação Hierárquica Descendente, Especificidades Complementares e Análise Fatorial de Correspondência. As discussões apoiaram-se nas três perspectivas que abarcam a interculturalidade: relacional, funcional e crítica. Resultados foram conformadas três classes denominadas: Repertório biomédico; Repertório socioemocional; e Repertório comportamental. O biomédico foi o mais significativo para ambos os grupos, sendo liderado pelas não indígenas, e os constituintes socioemocional e comportamental foram majoritariamente representados pelas indígenas. Considerações Finais e implicações para a prática nesse cenário interétnico, o diálogo intercultural se materializa no intercâmbio de forma heterogênea de pensar-saber-fazer, que se desdobra sob a luz da interculturalidade relacional e funcional, demonstrando movimentos embrionários para a interculturalidade crítica.

Chemical Constituents and Biological Activities of Croton heliotropiifolius Kunth

et al. 2021

Croton heliotropiifolius Kunth (Euphorbiaceae), whose occurrence has already been registered in the most varied Brazilian biomes, is commonly found in the Chapada do Araripe, Ceará. The species is traditionally used to treat fungal, parasitic, and degenerative diseases. This study investigated the chemical composition and pharmacological potential (antioxidant, antifungal, antiparasitic, and cytotoxic) of an aqueous extract obtained from the roots of C. heliotropiifolius. Following a qualitative phytochemical screening, the chemical constituents were identified by ultra-efficiency liquid chromatography coupled witha quadrupole/time-of-flight system (UPLC-QTOF). The antioxidant potential was verified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). The direct and combined antifungal activity of the extract against opportunistic Candida strains was investigated using the microdilution method. The minimal fungicidal concentration (MFC) was determined by subculture, while the modulation of the morphological transition (fungal virulence) was evaluated by light microscopy. The in vitro antiparasitic activity was analyzed using epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi and promastigotes of Leishmania braziliensis and Leishmania infantum, while cytotoxicity was determined in cultures of mouse fibroblasts. The phytochemical analysis identified the presence of acids, terpenes, flavonoids, lignans, and alkaloids. Among these constituents, the presence of polar and non-polar phenolic compounds with known antioxidant action washighlighted. While the extract showed clinically ineffective antifungal effects, it could enhance the effectiveness of fluconazole, in addition to inhibiting the morphological transition associated with increased virulence in Candida strains. Although the extract showed low cytotoxicity against fibroblasts, it also had weak antiparasitic effects. In conclusion, Croton heliotropiifolius is a source of natural products with antifungal and antioxidant potential.
