Antioxidant effect of Legalon(r) SIL in ischemia-reperfusion injury of rat skeletal muscle

Acta cir. bras; 31 (4), 2016
PURPOSE: To evaluated the potential antioxidant agent Legalon (r) SIL (silibinin-C-2',3-bis(hydrogensuccinat)) in the skeletal muscle of rats. METHODS: IRI was achieved via tourniquet application in Wistar-albino rats. Experimental groups were chosen as (i) sham control, (ii) IRI (3+2 h), (iii) IRI a...

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the correlation between thickness of the muscle adductor pollicis and anthropometric measurements, body mass index and Subjective Global Assessment in the nutritional assessment of surgical patients. Methods The study population comprised patients admitted to the genera...

Achados ultrassonográficos osteomusculares na paracoccidioidomicose

Rev. bras. reumatol; 56 (1), 2016
Resumo A paracoccidioidomicose é uma infecção fúngica endêmica na América do Sul. A infecção geralmente é assintomática e afeta principalmente os tratos respiratórios superior e inferior, com dissociação clínico-radiológica. O envolvimento articular é raro, sem um padrão ou lesão radiol...

Analysis of isokinetic muscle function and postural control in individuals with intermittent claudication

BACKGROUND: Intermittent claudication (IC) is a debilitating condition that mostly affects elderly people. IC is manifested by a decrease in ambulatory function. Individuals with IC present with motor and sensory nerve dysfunction in the lower extremities, which may lead to deficits in balance. OBJECTI...

Joint immobilization: effects on muscular tissue of obese and malnourished mice

Abstract Although it is a widely used resource for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, immobilization causes deleterious effects in muscle tissue after a short period of time. This study aimed to evaluate the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscles of obese and protein malnourished animals und...

Ultrasound biomicroscopy and claudication test for in vivo follow-up of muscle repair enhancement based on platelet-rich plasma therapy in a rat model of gastrocnemius laceration

Acta cir. bras; 31 (2), 2016
PURPOSE: To track the regeneration process of lateral gastrocnemius due to a muscle laceration in rats, and to treatment with plateletrich plasma (PRP). METHODS: Ultrasound (40 MHz) images were used for measuring pennation angle (PA), muscle thickness (MT) and mean pixel intensity, along with claudicatio...

Implantation of muscle satellite cells overexpressing myogenin improves denervated muscle atrophy in rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (2), 2016
This study evaluated the effect of muscle satellite cells (MSCs) overexpressing myogenin (MyoG) on denervated muscle atrophy. Rat MSCs were isolated and transfected with the MyoG-EGFP plasmid vector GV143. MyoG-transfected MSCs (MTMs) were transplanted into rat gastrocnemius muscles at 1 week after surgi...

Músculo adutor do polegar como ferramenta de avaliação nutricional em pacientes portadores do vírus da imunodeficiência humana
The thickness of the adductor pollicis muscle as a nutrition assessment tool in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus

Clin. biomed. res; 36 (4), 2016
Introdução: Desnutrição é frequente em pacientes portadores do HIV e está associada a pior prognóstico clínico. A espessura do músculo adutor do polegar (EMAP) é uma ferramenta de fácil e rápida aplicação, e parece estar correlacionada com medidas antropométricas. Objetivo: Avaliar a medid...

Versatility of the medial gastrocnemius muscle flap in reconstructing lower limb soft tissue lesions

Rev. bras. cir. plást; 31 (4), 2016
Introduction: Covering complex lower limb wounds is a major challenge. The medial gastrocnemius muscle flap is usually indicated for reconstruction of loss of substance of the knee and proximal third of the leg. The objective of this study was to evaluate the results using gastrocnemius muscle flaps in l...
