    Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Delivery in Lipid-Based Nanoparticles: Potentiality and Perspectives for Future Applications in Cancer Chemoprevention and Therapy

    No full text
    Chemoprevention is a strategy aimed to not only reduce the risk but also delay the development or recurrence of cancer. An ideal chemopreventive agent is not dangerous and ought not to result in side effects or damage to human health. In this context, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is considered a suitable chemopreventive agent, but its clinical use is limited by many factors, namely, the difference in source, administration, individual metabolism, absorption, and distribution. Genetic and dietary differences greatly cause this variability, which has limited the rational use of EGCG in chemoprevention and, particularly, the definition of a safe and efficient concentration. In the present mini review, the main limitations to a complete understanding of the use of EGCG as a chemopreventive agent will be briefly illustrated. This review also indicates the introduction and trialing of lipid-based nanoparticles (NPs) as a proper strategy to deliver EGCG at a well-defined concentration for better investigation of the chemopreventive activity. Finally, some examples of cancers that might benefit from EGCG treatment in different stages of the disease are proposed

    In the sequence of the dissertation, Jorge Pinheiro: The Referential (2010) [Master’s degree in Painting] in FBAUL, aiming at the figurative work of the author in the last decade of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century, the current project of research emerges, deepening the knowledge about the representation and figuration of the pictorial work produced during this period of time. The figurative painting of Jorge Pinheiro, produced over 1990-2010, resorting to models of the Model, is the representation of images culturally produced in images obscurely dreamt in the game Composition and Representation. Jorge Pinheiro states that he first starts from the titles he searches for in Literature. Provocative, the title intertwined with the representation reaches the observer. The recognition of the appropriated figurative fragments is the key to decoding his painting. The initial spectator is the one the author looks for. The myths and symbolic values are represented in the Painting. They are representations of representations on behalf of the shapes of power in Composition and Representation. The Symbol-Figures of Representation taken from Painting, Photography, Cinema, and Photojournalism are sublimated icons, corrupted or ruined in the artwork of Jorge Pinheiro. The artwork questions its legitimacy and simultaneously reiterates it, reflects the concept of originality in the work’s identity, identifies the first authors, and makes us think of the authorship of the second authors, highlighting the position of the artist in relation to society and to his own craft with historical background. The cultural image prevails in the game of representation and aesthetic discourse because the object of imitation is not an object but an idea. Reinventing the Memory recall legacy, the painting of Jorge Pinheiro is a permeable territory where Painting evokes Painting, Art, and Western Humanistic Values, allowing a whole generation to identify itself in the artwork and question our way of being in the worl

    The Portuguese writer Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895) was very productive in the second half of the 19th century. Despite his diversified work, currently, he is practically forgotten, and he is not usually associated to Portuguese fantastic literature. The objective of this work is to read a narrative compiled in the collection A lenda da meia-noite (1874), “Julieta: conto fantástico”, in comparison with an article published in the journal O panorama (1868), in which the author makes theoretical-critical considerations on the fantastic. Our hypothesis is that Pinheiro Chagas, in the referred short story, inserts the fantastic in a similar way to his appointments in the respective article. In addition, we will show two possibilities of reading the short story, which are different, depending on the publication support.O escritor português Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895) foi bastante produtivo na segunda metade do século XIX. Embora tenha uma obra diversificada, atualmente, é praticamente esquecido e não costuma ser vinculado à literatura fantástica portuguesa. Objetiva-se, neste estudo, a leitura de uma narrativa compilada na coletânea A lenda da meia-noite (1874), “Julieta: conto fantástico”, em cotejo com um artigo publicado no periódico O panorama (1868), no qual o autor faz considerações teórico-críticas acerca do fantástico. A nossa hipótese é que Pinheiro Chagas, no referido conto, insere o fantástico de forma semelhante aos apontamentos defendidos por ele no respectivo artigo. Além disso, mostraremos duas possibilidades de leitura para o conto, que são diferentes, a depender do suporte de publicação

    Pinheiro Chagas, a forgotten writer

    Este estudo tem por objetivo refletir sobre uma figura literária pouco estudada, Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895), escritor português considerado pela crítica principalmente como romancista histórico. Ao eleger o romance histórico como narrativa romântica, parece que Chagas tenta disputar espaço com o romance realista/naturalista, mesmo depois da consolidação do Realismo. Por meio da análise de quatro de seus romances, A virgem Guaraciaba (1865), A máscara Vermelha (1873) e a sua continuação O juramento da Duquesa (1873), e A descoberta da Índia. Contada por um marinheiro (1890), verificamos como o projeto literário deste escritor, que se inicia com a efabulação da História, vai convergindo para um realismo pouco romantizado, que ele denominou de estudo histórico romântico.This study is intended to reflect about the literary understudied character, Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895), portuguese writer considered by public opinion mainly as historical novelist. Choosing the historical novel as romance narrative, seems that Chagas tries to establish space with the realistic/naturalist novel, even after the Realism consolidation. Analyzing four of his novels, A virgem Guaraciaba (1865), A máscara Vermelha (1873) and its continuation O juramento da Duquesa (1873), and A descoberta da Índia. Contada por um marinheiro (1890), we could verify how the literary project from this author, that initiates itself with the history creation, starts to converge to a type of less romanticized realism, that he defines as romantic historical study

    The present study is part of the literature studies and research of the post-graduation in languages of Universidade Federal de Sergipe, and it analyzes the marvelous that arises in Marina Colasanti's tales, noting the characteristics that they rescue from the traditional tales and to what extent they break with the classical structure promoting innovation. This qualitative research seeks to examine the interfaces of the marvelous, as well as the symbolic and compositional aspects of “Doze reis e a moça no labirinto do vento” and “Um desejo e dois irmãos”. Our hypothesis is that Marina Colasanti's tales are marvelous of faire nature which present certain regularity in terms of structural composition, however they innovate in terms of the proposed themes, promoting a parodic view of patriarchal society by reclaiming traditional narratives from a critical perspective and by highlighting female characters. The study is guided by this perspective, and it proposes the following questions: What are the interfaces of the marvelous that are manifested in Marina Colasanti's fairy tales? How do they take place in this literary work? Do the author's tales promote any kind of innovation in terms of language, narrative structure and thematic proposition when compared to traditional tales? Where are the ruptures and how do they are materialized in the narratives? These questions guide the development of the research analysis that do not intend to exhaust the understanding of the object of study, but it intends to contribute by encourage a critical and detailed view regarding the marvelous of the poetics of Marina Colasanti, taking into consideration a varied critical and theoretical references which is composed of: Colasanti (1982, 2015) Coelho (2020), Todorov (2017), Perdigão (1993), Propp (1984, 2002), Adam (2009, 2011), Genette (2018), Eliade (2013), Campbell (2007), Patai (1982), Mielietinski (1987, 2019), Gotlib (2006), Hutcheon (1991) among others.Este trabalho, que se insere na área dos Estudos Literários e na linha de pesquisa Literatura e Recepção do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da Universidade Federal de Sergipe, analisa como o maravilhoso se apresenta nos contos de Marina Colasanti, observando que características eles resgatam dos contos tradicionais e em que medida rompem com a estrutura clássica promovendo inovação. Esta pesquisa de feição qualitativa busca examinar as interfaces do maravilhoso, mas também aspectos simbólicos e composicionais da obra Doze reis e a moça no labirinto do vento, corpus desta análise, de forma exploratória, por meio da compilação de conceitos, teorias e análises dos contos, mais detidamente dos contos “Doze reis e a moça no labirinto do vento” e “Um desejo e dois irmãos”. Nossa hipótese é de que os contos de Marina Colasanti são maravilhosos de natureza feérica e que apresentam certa regularidade quanto à composição estrutural, contudo inovam quanto aos temas propostos, promovendo uma visão paródica da sociedade patriarcal ao retomar narrativas da tradição sob uma perspectiva crítica e conferir destaque a personagens femininas. O estudo, guiado por esse pensamento, propõe as seguintes inquirições: Quais interfaces do maravilhoso se manifestam nos contos de fadas de Marina Colasanti? Como essas interfaces se realizam na obra? Os contos da autora promovem alguma espécie de inovação no tocante à linguagem, à estrutura narrativa e à proposição temática quando comparados a contos tradicionais? Onde se encontram as rupturas e como elas se materializam nas narrativas? Estas perguntas norteiam o desenvolvimento das análises feitas, que não pretendem esgotar o entendimento do objeto, mas, ao menos, contribuir para que haja uma reflexão crítica e minudenciada acerca do maravilhoso na poética de Marina Colasanti, considerando para isso um variado referencial teórico e crítico composto por: Colasanti (1982, 2015) Coelho (2020), Todorov (2017), Perdigão (1993), Propp (1984, 2002), Adam (2009, 2011), Genette (2018), Eliade (2013), Campbell (2007), Patai (1982), Mielietinski (1987, 2019), Gotlib (2006), Hutcheon (1991) dentre outros.São Cristóvã
