Background. Jacaranda decurrens Cham., known as carobinha, is prevalent in the Cerrado biome and presents popular use in treatment of dermatological diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the healing action of topical formulation of Jacaranda decurrens Cham. (FtEHJ) in mice cutaneous lesions. Methods. Phytochemical analysis of J. decurrens hydroalcoholic extract was carried out by using HPLC-PDA-ESI-MS and FIA-ESI-IT-MSn. Swiss mice were treated topically with formulation base (FtB) or Fibrinase® or ointment FtEHJ (15 mg/g; 50 mg/Kg). At the end of treatment periods, the inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) in the lesions were measured by using ELISA and gene expression of TGF-β, Collagen I, and Collagen III was demonstrated by RTqPCR method and histological evaluation. Results. Ten compounds were identified in the extract, distributed among the classes of flavonoids and triterpenes. Treatment with FtEHJ increased the wound contraction in 24 hours, such as reduction of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 (pg/mL) cytokines in the lesion. The TGF-β and collagen gene expression was increased and the wound closure accelerated to nine days, with discrete inflammation, collagenization, and accented reepithelialization. Conclusions. The results obtained suggest chemical compounds present in the FtEHJ accelerates wound healing by being a gene expression modulator, and protein content of different molecules are involved in tissue repair.

“…However, it must be considered that this practice has been undervalued in the country due to the supremacy of a paradigm that sees healthcare as centered into biomedical technologies. This makes the use of medicinal plants seem like a remnant of a form of care from underdeveloped, primitive and archaic times, and not as a possible future of new sustainable technologies (21) .…”

Objective: To verify the use of integrative and complementary practices (ICPs) by community health agents working in family health teams. Methods: Cross-sectional, quantitative research, conducted in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. An structured form was used for the characterization of participants and use of ICPs. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were conducted. Results: Use of ICPs was referenced by 94 (40.7%) agents. The use of medicinal plants was predominant (32.5%). There were associations between: ICPs in general and negative self-perception of health (p=0.032), homeopathy and higher education (p=0.015), massage and living with partner(p=0.024), chiropractic care and income equal to or greater than four minimum wages (p=0.031), relaxation/meditation and religion (p=0.028). Conclusion: The use of ICPs was verified in the healthcare of community agents. It is necessary to strengthen these practices for the promotion of health and prevention of diseases.

“…A seguir, foi divulgada a Relação Nacional de Plantas Medicinais de Interesse ao SUS (RENISUS). E em 2014, o número de municípios que ofertavam a fitoterapia na APS era três vezes maior que em 2004, antes da criação da PNPIC 3,4 . Entretanto, segundo Fontenele et al 5 , os gestores declararam a resistência dentro das administrações públicas municipais e a baixa aceitação desta prática por parte dos profissionais da APS.…”

Resumo O Ministério da Saúde através da Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares (PNPIC) incentiva a oferta de Acupuntura, Homeopatia, Fitoterapia, Medicina Antroposófica e Termalismo no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Este estudo avaliou o perfil de prescrição/sugestão e credibilidade no uso de plantas medicinais e fitoterápicos como terapia complementar entre 157 profissionais de 66 equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) do município de Blumenau. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre abril de 2014 e fevereiro de 2015, utilizando um questionário semiestruturado em uma amostra composta por 42 (26,8%) médicos, 40 (25,5%) enfermeiros, 66 (42%) técnicos de enfermagem, 05 (3,2%) odontólogos e 04 (2,5%) técnicos de saúde bucal. As associações entre variáveis foram verificadas através da análise bivariada pelo teste Qui-Quadrado ou teste Exato de Fisher. Apesar de 65,6% dos entrevistados relatarem conhecer a PNPIC, a presença de fitoterápicos na Relação Nacional de Medicamentos Essenciais era desconhecida por 85,4%. A maioria (96,2%) dos profissionais acredita no efeito terapêutico das plantas medicinais, mas não prescrevem. No entanto, 98,7% dos entrevistados concordam com a iniciativa de ofertar esta prática integrativa e complementar no SUS após uma capacitação na área.
