Plants of the genus Crotalaria are known for their antagonistic effect against nematodes. It has been found that pyrrolizidine alkaloids are the main metabolites involved in such antagonistic activity. Aiming at obtaining extracts with higher alkaloid content and enhanced potential for use as bionematicides, we investigated the chemical composition and nematicidal activity of extracts obtained from Crotalaria juncea and Crotalaria ochroleuca cultivated in vitro through micropropagation. Remarkably, extracts from the callus of C. ochroleuca (lethal concentration of 95% (LC95) = 157.7 μg mL-1) and C. juncea (LC95 = 189.9 μg mL-1) exhibited high toxicity against Meloidogyne javanica. The ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight with high mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF-MSE) analysis revealed the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids, flavones, flavone glycosides, and isoflavones. These findings highlight the potential of tissue culture to obtain extracts from Crotalaria species compared to conventionally cultivated plants and provide a higher concentration of metabolites with nematicidal effects, paving the way for sustainable agriculture.

FROM SAMPLING TO PURIFICATION: METHODOLOGIES AND TECHNIQUES FOR EVALUATION OF SILOXANES IN BIOGAS. Biogas has emerged as an important source of clean and renewable energy, with its energy viability dependent on purity grade. Primarily composed by methane and carbon dioxide, biogas can also contain nitrogen, water vapor, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, hydrocarbons and siloxanes. Regarding methane, all other components are considered contaminants, with volatile methylsiloxanes (VMSs) being the major challenge in terms of control and removal. VMSs are commonly found in personal care products and industrial applications, and their presence is highly detrimental to biogas energy generation equipment by forming silica deposits that cause fouling and damage, reducing operational efficiency and system longevity. In this context, three topics are crucial: (i) sampling techniques (bags, gas cylinders, canisters, adsorbent tubes, and impingers); (ii) detection and quantification methods for VMSs, highlighting gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry; and (iii) biogas purification/removal strategies (adsorption, absorption, refrigeration/condensation, biological degradation, and membrane separation). This review explores the methodologies involved in these topics, presenting literature research approaches and their effectiveness regarding siloxanes, contributing to biogas applications.

ABSTRACT Purpose: To investigate the effect of chronic stress on testicular morphology in adult Wistar rats, as well as the impact of comfort food consumption on these parameters. Material and methods: 32 Wistar rats (10 weeks old) were divided into four groups: control (C), stressed (S), control + comfort food (C+CF), and stressed + comfort food (S+CF). Chronic stress was induced by the restraint method during 8 weeks in groups S and S+CF, while groups C and C+CF were maintained under normal conditions. Groups C and S received a standard rat chow diet, while groups C+CF and S+CF received both the standard chow and comfort food (Froot Loops®). After 8 weeks of experiment, all animals were euthanized and the testes were collected for histomorphometric, immunohistochemical and gene expression analysis. Results: Comfort food was preferred over standard chow in groups C+CF and S+CF, but this preference was more preeminent in stressed animals (S+CF). The consumption of comfort food resulted in testicular weight reduction. The seminipherous epithelium was reduced in group S in comparison to controls. While comfort food also reduced the epithelium in C+CF in comparison to controls, for group S+CF the comfort food ameliorated the stress-induced damage. The cell proliferation rate and the relative expression of StAR and BLC2 genes were similar between the groups. Conclusion: Both chronic stress and comfort food consumption resulted in morphological alterations of the testes but the consumption of comfort foods during chronic stress partially prevented the stress-induced detrimental effects on testes.

Asphaltene aggregation mechanism is still a nebulous and controversial issue. Many authors argue that the aggregation of its components is due to π-stacking interactions, nonetheless, alkyl chains, heteroatoms, and even acidic groups are also constituents of asphaltenes and can play an important role in the chemistry of asphaltene. Excimers from pyrene are easily detected by fluorescence and were used in the current study to probe the effect of the side chain on the π-stacking capacity of pyrene. Pyrene was acylated with acyl chains varying from two to twelve carbon atoms, and the effect of the variation of the acyl chain length on excimer formation was followed by fluorescence emission spectroscopy. The results revealed that as the side chain grows from two to twelve carbon atoms the excimer/monomer ratio decreases and the excimer heat of formation drops from ΔH = -6.00 to -1.29 kcal mol-1. Further, the crystal structure of octanoyl pyrene (PC8) indicates that in the crystal structure, the aromatic moiety faces the acyl chain. This result was corroborated by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Finally, the results were compared with two different asphaltenes and indicate that π-stacking cannot be assumed as the main driving force for asphaltene aggregation.

Serial numbers are marks present on several day-to-day objects, created by manufacturers for purposes such as quality control, product tracking and to prevent counterfeiting. In the case of firearms, these characters can be obliterated or damaged by natural processes or intentionally by criminals to prevent positive identification of stolen property. One non-destructive method employed by crime laboratories for the restoration of obliterated characters is the magnetic particle method. The present work aims to study the synthesis and application of waste-made magnetic nanoparticles in the recovery of adulterated markings. A set of analytical-grade materials and metallic waste magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized for comparison purposes. Chemical characterization tests by X-ray fluorescence, morphological tests by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and magnetization tests by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were performed. The efficacy of the synthesized nanoparticles was tested on 1020 steel plates previously engraved and adulterated by sanding. Both homemade magnetic nanoparticles demonstrated superior performance compared to commercial magnetic particles. The application of homemade magnetic particles, especially using waste as the source of production, decreases the cost of the material and is environmentally friendly. The development of this material makes magnetic serial number restoration a better option for widespread use in forensic procedures.

Fruits of Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi were investigated. A fast and efficient method for the simultaneous determination of 11 polyphenolic substances by high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) was applied. Limits of quantification ranged between 0.78 and 3.14 mg L-1. High concentrations of kaempferol were found. An exploratory evaluation was performed using principal component analysis (PCA) for fruit origin differentiation. Total phenolic content (TPC) ranged from 274 to 517 mg GAE 100 g-1; total flavonoid content (TFC) ranged from 101 to 283 mg QE 100 g-1. In vitro analyses showed that antioxidant capacity with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) ranged from 1.7 to 7 µM DPPH 100 g-1. The bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect were also evaluated against: Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella choleraesuis, Candida albicans and C. glabrata, using broth microdilution assay. It can be inferred that S. terebinthifolia Raddi fruit has the potential to act as an ally in the search for new alternatives in the action against pathogens, and it can be used as a potential natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent. Metals (Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn and Zn) were also determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS), with emphasis on high concentrations of Mg, Zn and Fe.

This study aims to propose a new method for derivatizing fatty acids (FAs) from human milk (HM), eliminating the lipid extraction step, and simplifying the preparation for gas chromatography with a flame ionization detection (GC-FID) analysis to quantify the FAs. The Design Expert software optimized the reaction times, concentrations, and sample amount. The proposed method (PM) was validated for lyophilized HM and results for the figures of merit for precision in relative standard deviation (RSD) (RSDintra-day 1.34-4.03% and RSDinter day 2.08 5.16%), accuracy (99.87-102.16%), and robustness are within a linear range of 3 to 38% lipids in HM samples. The atmospheric solids analysis probe tandem mass spectrometry (ASAP-MS/MS) technique confirmed the efficiency of PM by expressing the molecular composition of triacylglycerol formed by FAs from the GC-FID technique. The PM requires a small sample size and conducts derivatization directly in the sample matrix, minimizing extraction errors.

ABSTRACT The drying process is paramount for maintaining seed quality, where the temperature during this process directly influences germination and vigor, especially for vegetable species harvested with high moisture content. This research aimed to determine and model the drying curves of S. aethiopicum (cultivar Tinguá-verde-claro) seeds at temperatures of 35, 38, 41, and 44 ºC, as well as to evaluate the physiological quality of the seeds after drying. A completely randomized design was used, with four drying temperatures (35, 38, 41, and 44 ºC) and four replicates. Nine mathematical models were fitted using the non-linear regression analysis by the Gauss-Newton method, and the goodness of fit was assessed based on the magnitude of the coefficient of determination (R2), chi-square test (χ2), relative mean error (P), and estimated mean error (SE). Seed quality was evaluated by germination test (G), electrical conductivity (EC), and accelerated aging (AA). The Modified Midilli model best represents the drying curves of S. aethiopicum seeds at the studied temperatures. Seeds with higher germination and vigor, meaning lower electrical conductivity values and higher germination rates after accelerated aging, are achieved through drying at 35 and 38 ºC.
RESUMO O processo de secagem é de suma importância para a manutenção da qualidade das sementes, onde a temperatura de condução deste processo exerce influência direta sobre a germinação e vigor, sobretudo para as espécies olerícolas que são colhidas com alto teor de água. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi determinar e modelar as curvas de secagem de sementes de jiló (cultivar Tinguá-verde-claro) nas temperaturas de 35, 38, 41 e 44 ºC, bem como avaliar a qualidade fisiológica das sementes após a secagem. Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, sendo quatro temperaturas de secagem (35, 38, 41 e 44 ºC) com quatro repetições. Nove modelos matemáticos foram ajustados por meio de análise de regressão não linear pelo método de Gauss-Newton, e o grau de ajuste foi avaliado com base na magnitude do coeficiente de determinação (R2), teste qui-quadrado (χ2), erro médio relativo (P) e erro médio estimado (SE). A qualidade das sementes foi avaliada pelo teste de germinação (G), condutividade elétrica (CE) e envelhecimento acelerado (EA). O modelo ‘Midilli Modificado’ é o que melhor representa as curvas de secagem das sementes de jiló nas temperaturas estudadas. Sementes com maior germinação e vigor, ou seja, com menores valores de CE e maiores taxas de germinação após EA, são alcançadas através da secagem a 35 e 38 ºC.

Abstract Brycon amazonicus is a species native to Brazil, with significant socioeconomic importance and immense potential for fish production. It is the second most cultivated species in the Amazon. The lack of specific molecular markers limits genetic research. This study aimed to identify species-specific microsatellite markers for B. amazonicus and analyze the genetic diversity of four fish farms: Nova Mutum, Instituto Nacional de Pesquisa da Amazônia, Jatuarana, and Nova Airão. In addition, the transferability of these markers to species of the same genus (B. orbignyanus, B. falcatus, and B. gouldingi) was evaluated. Seventeen primer pairs were developed using the enriched library method. Eight of these were used for the genetic analysis of B. amazonicus stocks. In total, 47 alleles were identified. The mean endogamy coefficient (FIS) was negative and significant for Nova Mutum stocks. However, the populations of B. amazonicus in Instituto Nacional de Pesquisa da Amazônia (0.179), Jatuarana (0.099), and Nova Airão were positive and nonsignificant. Analysis of molecular variance showed that most of the variation was observed within the populations evaluated (57%), and genetic differentiation (FST = 0.423) among the stocks was high. Bayesian analysis indicated that the best number of genetic clusters was K = 3. Transferability testing showed successful amplification (90%) of the primers by estimating the allele size between 144 and 294 base pairs (bp) and a total of 24 alleles for the related Brycon species. This indicates the high potential of microsatellites for the analysis of diversity and population genetic structure in both the genus Brycon and family Characidae.
Resumo Brycon amazonicus é uma espécie nativa do Brasil, de grande importância socioeconômica e com grande potencial para a produção de peixes. É a segunda espécie mais cultivada na Amazônia. A falta de marcadores moleculares específicos tem limitado a pesquisa genética. O objetivo deste estudo foi desenvolver marcadores microssatélites específicos para B. amazonicus e analisar a diversidade genética em quatro fazendas de peixes: Nova Mutum; Instituto Nacional de Pesquisa da Amazônia; Jatuarana; e Nova Airão. Além disso, foi avaliada a transferibilidade desses marcadores para espécies do mesmo gênero (Brycon orbignyanus, Brycon falcatus e Brycon gouldingi). Dezessete pares de iniciadores foram desenvolvidos usando o método de biblioteca enriquecida. Oito desses foram usados na análise genética de estoques de B. amazonicus. Um total de 47 alelos foi identificado. O coeficiente de endogamia médio (FIS) foi negativo e significativo para os estoques de Nova Mutum. No entanto, as populações de B. amazonicus no Instituto Nacional de Pesquisa da Amazônia (0,179), Jatuarana (0,099) e Nova Airão foram positivas e não significativas. A análise de variância molecular mostrou que a diferenciação genética mais significativa foi encontrada dentro das populações (57%), e a diferenciação genética (FST= 0,423) entre os estoques foi alta. A análise bayesiana indicou como número de grupos genéticos como K = 3. Os testes de transferibilidade mostraram uma amplificação bem-sucedida (90%) dos primers, estimando o tamanho dos alelos entre 144 e 294 pares de bases (pb) e um número total de alelos 24 para as espécies Brycon relacionadas. Isso indica o alto potencial dos microssatélites para a análise da diversidade e estrutura genética de populações tanto no gênero Brycon quanto na família Characidae.

ABSTRACT The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others.

Abstract The present study determined the hepatoprotective and antioxidant potential of the extract obtained from Amazon nut residues. The brown walnut shell of Bertholletia excelsa was collected and extracted sequentially for 48 h with different ethanol:water ratios and the dry extract was obtained by the spray dryer method. Antioxidant activities were evaluated by testing DPPH radicals, ABTS, total phenolics, flavonoids and cellular antioxidant. Subsequently, in vitro and in vivo tests were carried out to evaluate the protective effect of the extract after induction of liver damage with CCL4. Biochemical parameters of liver injury and biochemical markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity were evaluated. In the mass spectrometry study, phenol and organic acids such as protocatechuic acid, gallic acid and citric acid were identified, which contributed to the elimination of free radicals, reducing DPPH and ABTS levels. The cell viability test after treatment with the extract on human fibroblast and human hepatocellular carcinoma cells showed no cytotoxicity. It was observed that the extract inhibited the production of free radicals in human fibroblasts. The dosage of 400 mg/kg was the most effective in reducing serum MDA levels. There was a significant reduction in hepatic biochemical markers in Hepg-2 with the extract tested at concentrations of 100 and 50 µg/mL and in rats there was a reduction after supplementation with the extract at a dose of 400 mg/kg, when subjected to oxidative stress with CCl4. From the results presented, it can be concluded that Bertholletia excelsa residues can be applied preventively against hepatotoxicity through the prevention of oxidative stress.
Resumo O presente estudo determinou o potencial hepatoprotetor e antioxidante do extrato obtido de resíduos de castanha da Amazônia. A casca da noz marrom de Bertholletia excelsa foi coletada e extraída sequencialmente por 48 h com diversas proporções etanol:água e o extrato seco foi obtido pelo método de spray dryer. As atividades antioxidantes foram avaliadas testando radicais DPPH, ABTS, fenólicos totais, flavonóides e antioxidante celular. Posteriormente, foram realizados testes in vitro e in vivo para avaliar o efeito protetor do extrato após indução de danos hepáticos com CCL4. Foram avaliados parâmetros bioquímicos de lesão hepática e marcadores bioquímicos de estresse oxidativo e capacidade antioxidante. No estudo de espectrometria de massas foram identificados fenóis como ácidos protocatecuico, ácido gálico e ácido quínico, que contribuíram para a eliminação de radicais livres, reduzindo os níveis de DPPH e ABTS. O teste de viabilidade celular após tratamento com o extrato em células de fibroblastos humanos e hepatocarcinoma humano não mostrou citotoxicidade. Observou-se que o extrato inibiu a produção de radicais livres em fibroblastos humanos. A dosagem de 400 mg/kg foi a mais eficaz na redução dos níveis séricos de MDA. Houve redução significativa dos marcadores bioquímicos hepáticos em Hepg-2 com o extrato testado na concentração de 100 e 50 µg/mL e em ratos houve uma redução após a suplementação com o extrato na dose de 400 mg/kg, quando submetidos ao estresse oxidativo com CCl4. A partir dos resultados apresentados pode-se concluir que os resíduos de Bertholletia excelsa podem ser aplicados preventivamente contra a hepatotoxicidade através da prevenção do estresse oxidativo.

Abstract Neglected tropical diseases (NTD) are chronic infectious diseases affecting low-income populations (mainly in tropical and subtropical climates), characterized by high morbidity and low mortality. This study described the epidemiology of mortality from NTDs in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. Data from the Brazilian Mortality Information System evidenced 2,642 deaths from NTDs between 2001 and 2021; 31.13% were related to leishmaniasis (mainly the visceral form) and 20.82% to leprosy. A total of 211 municipalities in Maranhão had registered mortality due to NTDs. We identified, high-risk spatial and spatiotemporal conglomerates in the western and southern areas of Maranhão, comprising mostly municipalities with high social vulnerability and low human development. Integrated mapping of NTDs may allow the development of public intervention policies and is an important strategy to control and eliminate NTDs in the most affected populations.
Resumo As doenças tropicais negligenciadas (DTN) são doenças infecciosas crônicas que afetam populações de baixa renda (principalmente em climas tropicais e subtropicais), causando morbidade e mortalidade. Este estudo descreveu a epidemiologia da mortalidade por DTNs no estado do Maranhão, Brasil. Dados do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade do Brasil evidenciaram 2.642 mortes por DTNs entre 2001 e 2021; 31,13% estavam relacionadas à leishmaniose (principalmente a forma visceral) e 20,82% à hanseníase. Um total de 211 municípios no Maranhão apresentaram mortes por DTNs, com conglomerados espaciais e espaço-temporais de alto risco identificados nas áreas oeste e sul, compreendendo principalmente municípios com alta vulnerabilidade social e baixo desenvolvimento humano. O mapeamento integrado de DTN pode permitir o desenvolvimento de políticas de intervenção pública e é uma estratégia importante para controlar e eliminar DTN nas populações mais afetadas.

Mixed oxides of pyrochlore structure of the type La2Zr2O7 and La2M0.3Zr1.7O7 (M = Fe or Ni) were synthesized through the modified proteic method and calcined at 900 °C for 2 h, this is a synthesis route not yet explored for materials with this structure and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy images, point of zero charge (PZC) and specific surface area. Its abilities to remove pollutants from aqueous media by adsorption process were investigated using a model compound. Data analysis revealed that the synthesized materials correspond to the pyrochlore phase (La2Zr2O7). They present particulate morphology with grains of different sizes and pores in their structure. The results of the adsorption studies show that the materials are efficient adsorbents for the removal of model compound in aqueous media, with efficiency above 90%. The adsorption kinetics of the compound in the adsorbents was studied. The materials were applied in reuse studies five times and maintained high efficiencies, highlighting the better performance presented by the material without doping. The obtained adsorbents were also submitted to removal of contaminants of industrial effluent tests and compared with the silica gel and activated carbon materials and also proved to be promising materials.

ABSTRACT In 2000, Cleide Costa published a paper presenting the state of knowledge of the Neotropical Coleopte ra, with a focus on the Brazilian fauna. Twenty-four years later, thanks to the development of the Coleoptera section of the Taxonomic Catalog of the Brazilian Fauna (CTFB - Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil) through the collaboration of 100 coleopterists from all over the globe, we can build on Costa’s work and present an updated overview of the state of knowledge of the beetles from Brazil. There are currently 35,699 species in 4,958 genera and 116 families known to occur in the country, including representatives of all extant suborders and superfamilies. Our data show that the Brazilian beetle fauna is the richest on the planet, concentrating 9% of the world species diversity, with some estimates accounting to up to 15% of the global total. The most diverse family in numbers of genera is Cerambycidae (1,056 genera), while in number of species it is Chrysomelidae (6,079 species). Conotrachelus Dejean, 1835 (Curculionidae) is the most species-rich genus, with 570 species. The French entomologist Maurice Pic is the author who has contributed the most to the naming of species recorded from Brazil, with 1,794 valid names in 36 families, whereas the Brazilians Ubirajara R. Martins and Maria Helena M. Galileo are the only ones among the top-ten authors to have named species in the 21st century. Currently, approximately 144 new species of Brazilian beetles are described each year, and this average is projected to increase in the next decade to 180 species per year, or about one new Brazilian beetle every two days.

Abstract Pre-clinical assays demonstrated that a 1% polyvinyl alcohol biomembrane containing latex proteins (10%) from the medicinal plant Calotropis procera was biocompatible and stimulated healing of incisional and excisional wounds in murine models, and the mechanistic aspects were established. The efficacy of the biomembrane (BioMemCpLP) to promote healing of chronic ulcers in leprosy patients was investigated. The study started with 28 volunteers. Five were excluded later due to different disconformities. Ulcers from 15 patients were continuously treated with BioMemCpLP for 56 days. Five patients were treated only with silver sulfadiazine and three patients received plain hydrocolloid wound dressings with high absorption capacity. In all cases, wound dressings were renewed three times a week for 56 days and ulcers were evaluated weekly for contraction and healing progress. The extent of the healed area in the ulcers treated with BioMemCpLP was greater than in the control groups. Approximately 88% of ulcers treated with BioMemCpLP were fully healed before day 56, against 6% in both control groups. This result was not correlated with age/gender, duration or location of ulcers, deformity or whether or not the patient was cured of leprosy. The results showed that BioMemCpLP was beneficial for treatment of ulcers suffered by leprosy patients without noticeable side effects.
Resumo Ensaios pré-clínicos demonstraram que uma biomembrana composta de álcool polivinílico a 1%, contendo proteínas de látex (10%) obtidas da planta medicinal Calotropis procera (Aiton) era biocompatível e estimulava a cicatrização de feridas incisionais e excisionais em modelos murinos, e aspectos mecanísticos foram estabelecidos. No estudo atual, foi investigada a eficácia da biomembrana (BioMemCpLP) em promover a cicatrização de úlceras crônicas em pacientes acometidos de hanseníase. O estudo foi iniciado com 28 voluntários. Cinco foram excluídos, posteriormente, por diferentes desconformidades. Úlceras de 15 pacientes foram tratadas continuamente com BioMemCpLP durante 56 dias. Outros cinco pacientes foram tratados apenas com sulfadiazina de prata e mais três pacientes receberam curativos simples de hidrocoloide com alta capacidade de absorção. Em todos os casos, os curativos foram renovados três vezes por semana e as úlceras foram avaliadas semanalmente quanto à contração e ao progresso da cicatrização, durante 56 dias. A extensão da área cicatrizada, nas úlceras tratadas com BioMemCpLP, foi maior do que nos dois grupos controles. Aproximadamente 88% das úlceras tratadas com BioMemCpLP foram totalmente curadas, antes do dia 56 de tratamento, contra 6% em ambos os grupos de controle. Esse resultado não foi correlacionado com idade/sexo, tempo de lesão ou localização das úlceras, deformidade ou se o paciente alcançou ou não a cura da hanseníase. Os resultados mostraram que a BioMemCpLP foi benéfica no tratamento de úlceras sofridas por pacientes com hanseníase, sem efeitos colaterais perceptíveis.
