Resumo IPEN-doc 24823 Obtaining of a hydrogel gel dressing of PVP with nanosilver for deep and complex wounds2017 - ALCANTARA, MARA T.S.; COUTINHO, CAMILA M.; OLIVEIRA, MARIA J.A.; MUNHOZ, MARA M.L.; LUGAO, ADEMAR B.Introduction Chronic and some acute wounds of difficult treatment that challenge medical and nursing teams are classificadas como Complex wound (Ferreira et al., 2006). Due to the long cicatrization time and successive relapses, cause a problem social on patients' lives and economic a major impact on the health system (Azoubel et al., 2017). Throughout the world there has been a growing interest in the use of hydrogels for application as dressings in view that they are able to maintain the humidity of the wound, favoring the epithelialization of lesions and favoring the relief of pain. On the other hand, silver is an agent that has been used since ancient times, but it has been replaced after the discovery of antibiotics. However, with the advent of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the development of nanotechnology, it has regained notoriety, since the clinical incidence of silver resistance remains low (Chopra, 2007).In addition to its bactericidal properties, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) also have anti-inflammatory properties, which, allied to hydrogels’ advantages of maintaining moisture in the wound, represent a great advantage for use as a dressing. However, conventional dressings do not address the need for direct contact with the wound when this is a deep wound. The objective of this work was to obtain a hydrogel gel with silver nanoparticles for wound dressing, synthesized in situ by using ionizing radiation for gelation (crosslinking of PVP-Ag+ aqueous solution), synthesis of the AgNPs and simultaneous sterilization of the final product, able to fill the cavity of deep wounds, thus allowing the direct contact of the dressing with the lesioned walls. Methodology The gel was prepared from the mixture of PVP with plasticizers, water, and silver ions; next, the mixture was irradiated / sterilized by gamma-irradiation from a 60-Co source at a dose of 20 kGy. . Results The result of this work is a viscous and transparent gel (Fig. 1), easy to be applied, able to control pain since it reduces the local temperature due to evaporation of water.

The studies are being continued with the aim of evaluating its stability and bactericidal activity.Artigo IPEN-doc 24359 Nanocomposite polymer clay to support the release of drug2017 - OLIVEIRA, MARIA J.A.; LUGAO, ADEMAR B.; PARRA, DUCLERC F.It is estimated that there are about 300,00 products named biomaterials that are used in the area of Health. Although they are widely used they have yet to be optimized for therapeutic use. Hence, the objective of this work was to develop nanocomposites hydrogels with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVAl), glucantime, chitosan and synthetic clay Laponite RD, processed by gamma irradiation. To compare the behavior of drug release two systems were compared, PVAl / chitosan / clay and PVAl / clay. The morphology of the nanocomposites hydrogel was understood by using characterization techniques: X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) and gel fraction. The release kinetics was analyzed at 37 °C for period of 48 hours. It was observed that the slower release of the drug occurs in the delivery system composed by PVAl / chitosan / clay with correlation of the crosslink type formed by chitosan.Tese IPEN-doc 19101 Obtenção de membranas de hidrógeis para tratamento alternativo da Leishmaniose tegumentar2013 - OLIVEIRA, MARIA J.A. deOs hidrogéis foram obtidos a partir de material polimérico reticulado por processo de radiação ionizante de acordo com a técnica de Rosiak. Nos últimos 40 anos o uso dos hidrogéis têm sido investigado para diversas aplicações como curativos. Neste trabalho foram sintetizadas membranas de hidrogéis com poli(N-2- pirolidona) (PVP), poli(álcool vinílico) (PVAl), quitosana e argila laponita em encapsulamento do fármaco para liberação controlada de glucantime sobre a superfície cutânea de tecidos lesados por leishmaniose. O tratamento tradicional dos pacientes infectados pelos parasitas é feito com antimoniato pentavalente de forma injetável. Entretanto estes antimoniatos são muito tóxicos e provocam efeitos colaterais nestes pacientes, além disso, pacientes portadores de doenças cardíacas e renais não podem fazer uso deste tratamento. No tratamento com membranas de hidrogéis aplicadas na superfície de tecidos lesados pela leishmaniose, o fármaco é liberado diretamente no ferimento de forma controlada, diminuindo os efeitos colaterais. As membranas preparadas neste trabalho foram caracterizadas por difração de raios X (DRX), análise de termogravimetria (TG), intumescimento, fração gel, espectroscopia no infravermelho (FTIR), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e microscopia de força atômica (AFM). As caracterizações funcionais foram feitas com teste de citotoxicidade e de liberação do fármaco in vitro e in vivo, de acordo com o protocolo de ética do Instituto de Medicina Tropical do Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina da USP. O teste \"in vivo\" dessas membranas provou ser eficiente na liberação controlada de fármacos diretamente nas superfícies lesadas pela leishmaniose. Nos testes \"in vivo\" as membranas de PVP/PVAl/argila 1,5% e glucantime apresentaram evidente contribuição para redução do ferimento chegando a uma cura clínica.
