title: Phenolic and flavonoid content and in vitro inhibitory effect of some Amazonian fruit juices on CYP3A4 activity

description: ABSTRACT Many foods interact with drugs and may cause changes in the pharmacological effects of the co-administered therapeutic agent. The enzyme CYP3A4, which belongs to the cytochrome P450 enzyme complex, is responsible for the metabolism of most drugs currently on the market and is involved in many drug interactions. Hence, the interaction of this enzyme with juices of some fruits, such as grapefruit, can affect the pharmacokinetics of various drugs. However, native fruits from the Amazon region have not yet been the target of this type of research. We determined total polyphenols and flavonoids of the Amazonian fruits açaí (Euterpe precatoria), buriti (Mauritia flexuosa), camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia), cubiu (Solanum sessiliflorum), cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum), jenipapo (Genipa americana), and taperebá (Spondias mombin) and evaluated the effects of each fruit juice on CYP3A4 activity, using the star fruit (Averrhoa carambola) juice as positive control. Açaí juice presented the highest content of total polyphenols and flavonoids (102.6 ± 7.2 µg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) per mL and 7.2 ± 0.6 µg quercetin equivalent (QE) per mL, respectively). All juices were able to inhibit the activity of CYP3A4. There was no residual activity of the drug-metabolizing enzyme for açai, buriti, cubiu, camu-camu, and taperebá juice, while for cupuaçu, jenipapo and the positive control, the residual activity was 44.3, 54.3 and 20.2%, respectively. Additional studies should identify the phytocompound(s) responsible for this inhibition activity, to clarify the mechanisms involved in this phenomenon.

title: Voices and actions in the semi-arid region: invitations to decolonize science, towards other praxis

description: ABSTRACT Neoextractive capitalism advances over territories of traditional populations. The consequence is the increase in environmental conflicts and the deepening of the civilization crisis threatening life on the planet. Pedagogia do território (territory pedagogy), as an academic practice in the Núcleo Tramas, presents possibilities for the university to contribute to the reduction of the existing inequality in the context of environmental conflicts. Two reports help to reflect on this essay. In the struggle for the construction of peasant territory, the communities in the city of Apodi present agroecology as a way to resist the Projeto da Morte (Death Project). In turn, the Center for Reflections, Studies, and Experiences in Agroecology and Environmental Justice reveals the action of women in the construction of agroecology and in the defense of their territories. Based on decolonial theories, we discuss our theoretical and epistemological bases, which encourage insurgent methodologies and foster the dialogue of different knowledges. The mediation between the voices of semi-arid territories and the scientific field of collective health leads us to think: what are the messages from these peoples to the academy? While we are looking for possibilities, peasants are announcing agroecology as an alternative to produce, live harmoniously with nature, promote health, and resist the effects of coloniality.

title: Children’s exposure to pesticides: evaluation of food representatives of children’s diets in the city of Rio de Janeiro

description: ABSTRACT Adequate nutrition in the first years of life is a fundamental requirement for health and affects all life cycles of the individual. Several scientific studies associate exposure to pesticides with adverse effects to health. A total of 312 pesticides residues were evaluated in common foods from children’s diets, selected from the infancy school feeding program menu in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The selection of food was based on the frequency of consumption according to the weekly menus of the municipal school system. Multiresidue pesticide analysis by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled to tandem Mass Spectrometry in 145 samples (milk, infant cereal, banana, apple, papaya, orange, beans and rice) identified 426 detections of 53 different pesticides. More than 68% of the samples had multiple pesticide residues. Based on the results, was estimated the exposure of children to residues that were detected, indicating a potential risk to children’s health, which needs to be a priority public health concern. It is necessary to verify the toxicological impacts of the use of pesticides on children’s health, to expand the acquisition of organic foods by the School Feeding National Program, and to strengthen agroecology with incentives and public policies, aiming at the protection and promotion of collective health.

title: Nutrient requirements of paricá (Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum): optimizing seedling quality for reforestation programs

description: ABSTRACT Amazonian reforestation programs emphasize the use of species native to the region. However, reforestation using native species requires the production of high-quality seedlings. The present study aimed to evaluate the development and quality of seedlings of paricá (Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum), a species native to the Amazon with high potential for reforestation activities. We carried out a greenhouse experiment in which seedlings were subjected to treatments with varying presence of major and micronutrients in the substrate, and evaluated the effect on functional attributes (plant height, stem diameter, specific leaf area, shoot and root dry matter) and physiological response (chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid concentrations). Our results showed that nutrient omission significantly affects paricá seedling growth. Considering the assessed biometric and physiological variables, the highest nutritional requirements of seedlings were for N, P, K, micronutrients, Mg and S, while seedling quality was maintained in the absence of Ca. Overall, this species shows efficient use of available nutrients and potential for growth in soils with low concentrations of bases. Therefore, for the production of high-quality paricá seedlings, major and micronutrients should be added and lime is essential, but the good seedling performance under Ca omission suggested that this element does not need to be added to the soil.

title: Pesticides, health outcomes and agroecology in Brazil: a scope review

description: ABSTRACT The present scope review aimed to highlight the profile of Brazilian research that investigates health outcomes caused by exposure to pesticides, seeking to understand the main findings, such as methodology used, type of substance, health outcomes, investigated locations, suggested actions, and dialogue with agroecology. The scoping review methodology was used, following the Prisma-ScR model. Among the 83 articles found in the review, 61 studied farmers and 22 studied other population groups. There was a predominance of primary and quantitative studies, followed by systematic reviews. Of the total, 79 articles found outcomes, with emphasis on hematological and genetic damage, mostly caused by poisoning by more than 1 pesticide. The largest number of studies were carried out in the South, followed by the Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, and North. Only 1 survey suggested the agroecological transition as a solution to the problem. It is concluded that, faced with a scenario of growth in the use of pesticides, it is urgent to have proposals for intersectoral actions and that do not involve only health education or the health sector in isolation, as most articles suggest, requiring articulation between sectors related to agriculture, supply, education, health, and the environment.

title: Women farmers and pesticides in daily family farming

description: ABSTRACT Considering the invisibility of female labor in the family farming scenario, this work aims to describe and analyze the relationship of women with pesticides in the work process. This qualitative research was carried out with family farmers in São Miguel Arcanjo (SP) and has as analysis material the content of the interviews with the 14 women farmers, according to the adaptation of Bardin’s concepts. The contents of the interviewees’ speeches were organized and outlined in two categories analyzed in the body of this work. It was possible to infer that women perform attributes historically assigned to the male figure, such as the practices of weeding, harvesting, and handling pesticides, although they lack the right to access the information and guidance necessary to safely perform their work. The practice of agribusiness enters family properties, based on pesticide-dependent production, and is reported by them in an unnatural way, when they identify pesticides as poisons. Finally, enhancing the skills identified in these women, especially the power of resilience, preserving their skills and identities in the face of so many stressors experienced in the context of the feminized margin of agriculture, may contribute to the end of economic, intellectual, and sanitary misery of women farmers.

title: Characterization of health and sanitation in a quilombola community in the surroundings of the capital of Brazil: a scoping review

description: ABSTRACT The Mesquita quilombola community has an identity closely related to land, however, nowadays, the relationship between health and sanitation is precarious due to the expansion of agribusiness and the real estate market. The aim of this study was to identify the health and sanitation aspects of the quilombo community of Mesquita of Cidade Ocidental, in the state of Goiás, Brazil. This review was structured using a scoping review method designed to synthesize evidence to help guide public policies and make practical decisions for the territory. The main results found in health aspects were the importance of the Basic Health Unit, of agroecology, and of alternative therapies. As for sanitation, they were water supply and treatment/disposal of solid waste. It is said that the strengthening and interdependence of human and environmental health, of the culture and ancestry of African history and recognition of territorial rights will enhance collective care with the support of different social actors. It is clear that the fight against slavery in Brazil still exists in the Mesquita quilombo, due to the invisibility and lack of assistance currently reflected by governmental actions.
