Hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2] is the one of the major inorganic constituents of natural bone, which has been broadly used in medical and biological applications. The present research work reports on the preparation of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA NPs) via a green and eco-friendly approach based on the use of pectin. The crystalline size, purity and morphology of the as-fabricated HA NPs were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) spectroscopic analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), correspondingly. Further, cytotoxicity investigations showed a dose dependent cytotoxicity towards prostate cancer cells (PC3 cells). Overall, the results illustrated herein suggest that the as-developed HA NPs may offer prospects for the development of drugs for prostate cancer treatment in nursing care for children.

Objetivo: descrever as características sociodemográficas e clínicas de homens com câncer de próstata em atendimento oncológico. Método: estudo transversal, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa. Os dados foram coletados de junho a dezembro de 2019 em entrevistas e por acesso aos prontuários, analisados por meio de estatística descritiva e apresentados em valores absolutos e relativos. Resultados: dos 55 participantes, predominaram homens na faixa etária de 70 a 79 anos (45,45%); brancos (45,45%); casados (63,64%); com ensino fundamental incompleto (54,55%); de crença católica (74,55%); residentes de zona urbana (87,27%); com esposa ou companheira (34,55%); com ótima relação com familiares (56,36%); aposentados (80%); com renda mensal de um a três salários mínimos (74,55%); que consideravam sua situação financeira regular (49,09%); negavam etilismo (56,36); eram ex-fumantes (47,27%); encaminhados ao serviço pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (85,45%); com tempo de diagnóstico há mais de 12 meses (69,09%); sem metástase (61,82%); que realizaram radioterapia (38,18%) e quimioterapia (61,82%). Conclusão: este estudo permitiu evidenciar que, no contexto do adoecimento por câncer de próstata dos homens entrevistados, há características que devem ser identificadas pelos profissionais de saúde que são essenciais para o planejamento do cuidado congruente às suas demandas.

Objective: to interpret the meanings attributed by men with prostate cancer to the experience regarding their bodies and masculinities during illness. Method: ethnographic research with 17 men, guided by the narrative method and theoretical framework of medical anthropology and masculinities. The information was collected through recorded interviews, direct observation and field diary records, which were analyzed by inductive thematic analysis. Results: men undergo body and identity transformations when they get sick with prostate cancer, transiting through multiple masculinities, resigning their actions, and occupying subordinate positions in relation to other healthy bodies, which are marginalized in their social relationships and allied with regard to establishing their affective relationships. Conclusion: this evidence enhances and deepens the knowledge disclosed in the literature and contributes to the strengthening of nursing care actions when dealing with the sick.
