Comparative study of four different types of intraperitoneal mesh prostheses in rats

Acta cir. bras; 34 (7), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To compare four types of mesh regarding visceral adhesions, inflammatory response and incorporation. Methods: Sixty Wistar rats were divided into four groups, with different meshes implanted intraperitoneally: polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE group); polypropylene with polydioxanone and...

Twice-weekly exercise training reduces oxidative stress and proinflammatory cytokine levels in elder women

Motriz (Online); 25 (3), 2019
Aim: Reactive oxygen species and high concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines are related to diseases that are often triggered during the aging process. This study aimed to investigate the effect of moderate-intensity physical exercise, twice a week, on oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers. ...

Effect of prodigiosin on the alleviation of the intestinal inflammation of weaned rats based on 1H-NMR spectroscopy study and biochemistry indexes

Weaning results in intestinal dysfunction, mucosal atrophy, transient anorexia, and intestinal barrier defects. In this study, the effect of prodigiosin (PG) on the intestinal inflammation of weaned rats was investigated by using 1H-NMR spectroscopy and biochemistry indexes to regulate the intestinal met...

Initial inflammatory response after the pulpotomy of rat molars with MTA or ferric sulfate

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Purpose To compare, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the inflammatory cells, vascular density and IL-6 immunolabeled cells present in the pulp after pulpotomy with white MTA versus 15.5% ferric sulfate (FS). Methodology Forty-eight mandibular first molars from 24 Wistar rats were divid...

Algorithm for diagnosis of primary vasculitides

Primary vasculitides are diseases with a wide variety of anatomical, clinical, radiological, and laboratory presentations. Primary vasculitides are difficult to diagnose because of the complexity of clinical presentation, which may lead to delayed treatment and increased financial costs of workup investi...

Histological changes secondary to use of anti-angiogenic therapy after interruption of vasa vasorum flow in the descending aorta: results in a porcine model

Background Anti-angiogenic regulators may have therapeutic implications for onset and progression of atherosclerosis. Objectives To demonstrate histological changes secondary to the use of bevacizumab in the aorta of pigs after interruption of flow in the vasa vasorum. Methods Twelve pigs were divided in...
