(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-06-09) Luque Lipa, Miguel; Marquez Vega, Rosalinda; Ramos Jaco, Antonio Guillermo
The present research work aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity and antibacterial effect of the essential oil of Citrus sinensis peels variety Valencia Late. The extraction of the essential oil was carried out by steam distillation. The antibacterial effect was evaluated against the strains of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Escherichia coli ATCC 12228 following the agar diffusion method and the antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH radical method (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl). It is a quasi-experimental and quantitative research work. For the results in the antibacterial effect, a nonparametric Kruskal Wallis test was used. Regarding the antioxidant activity in the essential oil of Citrus sinensis peels variety Valencia Late, the IC50 (minimum concentration necessary to inhibit 50% of DPPH) was determined by a linear regression adjustment. The results were illustrated using bar charts and box plots. It was concluded that the essential oil of Citrus sinensis variety Valencia Late exhibits antibacterial effects against the two strains tested and antioxidant activity against the DPPH radical.

A basic-descriptive study with a non-experimental design was conducted. The methodology applied was a systematic review and documentary analysis. Complete, open-access studies were analyzed, including undergraduate and master's theses, scientific articles, and indexed journals, with a publication range no older than 5 years (2016–2021). A total of 41 in vitro therapeutic bioequivalence studies were analyzed in this research. Data collection and processing were performed using Excel version 2019 spreadsheets. Results: The data processing results reflect that in 25 of the therapeutic bioequivalence studies (61%), the medications did not present bioequivalence or interchangeability. In 16 studies (39%), the medications showed therapeutic equivalence and demonstrated interchangeability with respect to the innovator drug. Conclusion: It is necessary to demand, through the national drug authority, that all multi-source drugs available in the pharmaceutical market possess therapeutic bioequivalence studies in order to guarantee an adequate and optimal treatment for patients in general, ensuring quality alternatives in terms of medications.

Conocimiento de riesgo toxicológico para evitar enfermedades respiratorias por exposición al formaldehido en limpiadores domésticos: una revisión sistemática
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-10-07) Obregón Obregón, Miriam Esmeralda; Tirado Enriquez de Mejia, Fiorella Madeley; Ramos Jaco, Antonio Guillermo
All people may be exposed to formaldehyde through products that contain this compound. In general, higher concentrations of formaldehyde are found in indoor air than in outdoor air, since many household products release formaldehyde into the environment. You can inhale formaldehyde when using products such as cleaning agents, disinfectants, cosmetics, hair straightening products, among others. Exposure to formaldehyde may cause a toxicological risk. The symptoms appear immediately and abruptly, irritating the respiratory tract and potentially causing death, while chronic damage occurs through prolonged exposure over years. The objective of this research is to identify whether knowledge of toxicological risk makes it possible to prevent respiratory diseases caused by exposure to formaldehyde in household cleaners. The methodology used was analytical, deductive and inductive, with a quantitative approach. It was an applied, descriptive, bivariate study, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. Our population consisted of the bibliographic review of 30 scientific articles published and indexed in scientific databases. It was concluded, based on the review of 30 bibliographic articles, that formaldehyde presents a high toxicological risk to health. It was classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans), causing harm to respiratory health as well as other health conditions. This was supported by the Student’s t-test, in which the bilateral significance value was 0.000, being lower than 0.05, thereby confirming the general hypothesis.
