Abstract
The use of cocaine affects several systems and organs of the human body and the consumption of this substance leads to an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species, and to the reduction of antioxidant defenses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oxidative stress (OS), biochemical and hematological parameters in patients hospitalized for treatment of cocaine addiction, comparing levels at hospital admission and discharge. Forty patients were included in the study. OS was evaluated using catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GPx), total antioxidant power (FRAP), malondialdehyde (MDA), and sulfhydryl group (GS). The medications used during hospitalization were registered and their influence on the parameters of OS was analyzed. After the hospitalization period, there was an increase in GGT levels, a reduction in SOD activity, and an increase in GPx activity and FRAP levels. Carbamazepine users had higher SOD values and lower FRAP values at hospital discharge. The use of chlorpromazine caused differences in creatinine and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) serum leves, and the levels of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (TGO), MDA, and FRAP were increased at hospital discharge. Haloperidol and thiamine during hospitalization interfered with alkaline phosphatase levels. The use of risperidone caused an increase in the levels of SOD, and folic acid use was associated with lower levels of GPx and higher levels of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (TGP) and alkaline phosphatase. Drug rehabilitation treatment was effective in decreasing oxidative damage represented by the reduction of biological markers.

Abstract
Alcohol dependence is one of the main reasons for inpatient admission to psychiatric hospitals. The abuse of this chemical substance can cause modifications in our organism and among them, variations in the oxidative stress parameters. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital unit to treat alcohol dependence, comparing oxidative stress, renal and hepatic function parameters from the moment of admission to those obtained at discharge. Hepatic function was verified through gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT), alkaline-phosphatase (ALP), aspartate-aminotransferase (AST) and alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) activity measurements. Urea and creatinine serum levels were measured for kidney function evaluation. Oxidative stress was evaluated by superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Medications used during hospital stay were record and their influence over the measured parameters analyzed. Twenty-eight patients (82% male, 44 ± 13 years old) were included in this study. A significant increase in BMI of patients after the period of hospitalization could be observed. There were reductions in creatinine, AST, ALT, GGT and ALP serum levels. SOD levels were lower at discharge, while GPx and FRAP presented higher levels. Chlorpromazine use showed influence over some hepatic function markers (ALT, GGT and ALP) and oxidative stress parameters (CAT and GPx); while carbamazepine use influenced GGT and FRAP. Patients on alcohol dependence treatment had significant improvements of renal and hepatic function parameters and higher GPx and FRAP values after the hospitalization period, which indicates reversion of alcohol effects over oxidative stress parameters.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the nutritional status of crack users and to analyze its correlation with drug use profiles. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 108 crack users. Anthropometric data were assessed through body mass index (BMI) and bioimpedance (BIA) measurements. A blood test to analyze hematocrit, hemoglobin, glucose, and lipid profiles was also performed. Crack use was determined through a standardized interview. Results: Based on BMI and BIA, most individuals were eutrophic (about 70%). Regarding hematological parameters, we found that hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were below normal for 32.4 and 30.6% of patients, respectively. Considering normal parameters, a large part of the sample (60.2%) had low levels of HDL cholesterol and high levels of triglycerides (38%). There were no significant correlations between drug profile and nutritional variables. Conclusion: This is a pioneering study that examines the nutritional status of crack users. Our results showed that most crack users present normal anthropometric findings and the prevalence of underweight is low. However, blood analysis showed changes and a specific type of malnutrition.

Abstract
Objetivo Identificar o estado nutricional e hábitos alimentares de pacientes masculinos em recuperação de dependência química em acompanhamento ambulatorial de uma unidade de adição. Métodos Estudo transversal com 25 pacientes adultos em tratamento ambulatorial para dependência química. Foram aferidos parâmetros antropométricos (peso, estatura, circunferência da cintura e índice de massa corporal) e de composição corporal (bioimpedância elétrica), e foram investigados hábitos alimentares (Questionário de Frequência Alimentar – QFA). As variáveis categóricas são apresentadas como frequências e percentuais e as variáveis contínuas, como média e desvio-padrão ou como mediana e intervalo interquartil. Resultados Observou-se índice de massa corporal médio de 27,73 ± 4,15 kg/m2, com prevalência de sobrepeso de 80% e obesidade de 8%. A média da circunferência da cintura foi de 96,60 ± 9,84 cm e a de percentual de gordura corporal, de 23,24 ± 6,44. A maior parte da amostra estudada [20 (80%)] refere realizar quatro ou mais refeições por dia e 72% referiram aumento do consumo alimentar no período de abstinência. A preferência por alimentos específicos no período de abstinência foi relatada por 12 (48%) pacientes. Em relação ao consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados, destaca-se o consumo diário de pão francês (68%), pães brancos de forma (16%), sucos artificiais (48%), refrigerantes (32%), queijo amarelo (36%), embutidos com alto teor de gordura (36%) e balas e chicletes (32%). Conclusão Os resultados mostram prevalência elevada de sobrepeso e obesidade, além de medida de circunferência da cintura alterada, relato de aumento da ingestão alimentar e consumo diário e semanal elevado de alimentos ultraprocessados.
