AbstractSulfasalazine is a prodrug composed by molecule of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and sulfapyridine (SP), linked an azo bond, which has been shown to be effective in the therapy inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease, well rheumatic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis ankylosing spondylitis. The precise mechanism action sulfasalazine and/or its metabolites not completely elucidated, though antioxidant effects are established probably due scavenging...
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) have physical and chemical properties that render them useful for several new biomedical applications. Still, so far, in vivo safety studies of IONs with coatings interest are still scarce. The aim this study, therefore, was to clarify the acute biological effects polyacrylic acid (PAA)-coated IONs, by determining their biodistribution potential proinflammatory toxic CD-1 mice. PAA-coated organs (liver, spleen, kidneys, brain, heart, testes lungs), plasma...
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) are among the most common types of (NPs) used in biomedical applications. IONs can be presented different forms [e.g. magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (α-Fe2O3) and maghemite (γ- Fe2O3)], usually coated with substances and/or polymers according to purpose for which they intended used. In recent years, use has been increasing exponentially many fields biomedicine, namely magnetic resonance imaging, cell sorting, tissue repair, induction hyperthermia drug delivery,...
Abstract The classical anti‐inflammatory therapies are frequently ineffective and present numerous severe side effects, especially in long term use, which requires the development of drugs with different scaffolds mechanisms action. Owing to high antioxidant potential activities already inferred for hydroxyflavones, we found it would be relevant evaluate a series trihydroxyflavones by testing their ability scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) nitrogen (RNS) cells cell‐free systems inhibit...
Since the early nineties countless publications have reported promising medicinal applications for [60]fullerene (C60) related to its unparalleled affinity towards free radicals. Yet, until now no officially approved C60-based drug has reached market, notably because of alleged dangers C60. Nevertheless, since publication effects C60 on lifespan rodents, a myriad companies started selling worldwide human consumption without any clinical trial. Nowadays, several independent teams confirmed...
Experiencia e um termo fecundo em filosofia protagonista de alguns dos seus mais ricos debates contemporâneos. No dia-a-dia, alem das muitas acoes que somos autores, tambem vitimas incontaveis experiencias quais, dependendo cada caso, ou nao responsaveis. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.21747/21836892/fil33r3
De acordo com a interpretação mais comum na literatura filosófica, Donald Davidson – que celebremente afirmou “uma criatura não pode ter pensamentos menos tenha uma linguagem” nega criaturas linguísticas são pensantes. No entanto, neste artigo argumento esta é errada. Analisando atentamente os argumentos de Davidson, procuro mostrar ele está argumentar podem possuir pensamentos; em vez disso, defendo simplesmente afirmar ausência linguagem as atribuições pensamento ser vistas como do meras...
Contextualism" is usually taken as the name for a very general view that can be found in different areas: from semantics to epistemology, philosophy of language action.According contextualism role context necessary an utterance, knowledge claim or action have meaning intelligible.In language, idea what utterance expresses depends on context, which therefore has determining its truth-conditions.One most renowned "radical contextualists", Charles Travis writes: "words may any many semantics,...
This article is focused on the analysis of Saint Augustine's The Magister and his doctrine human language.In particular, I analyse necessary conditions for existence language its relationships with concepts Thought World.In order to do so, first introduce ground notions sign, ostension, memory, reference.Second, examine their relation what known without knowing.In a final stage, explain why words are necessary, though not sufficient, condition teaching.
This article explores the meaning of concepts love and justice in Saint Augustine's philosophy order to understand how they relate his political thought.To this purpose, I shall analyse model presented work De civitate dei -namely XIX book -, showing distinction between City God Man through various conflicts/continuities illustrated by Augustine.To conclude, examine if there is a continuity civil religious domains within thought or rupture both cities.
