Does the type of electrode affect the electromyoneurographic parameters in rats?

Acta cir. bras; 34 (3), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate if the type of electrode (needle vs. surface) affects the electromyoneurography parameters in rats. Methods: Twenty male rats were anesthetized, then compound muscle action potential were recorded using a Neuropack S1 MEB- 9400©. All animals were submitted to two electro...

Videothermometry to evaluate metabolic activity in real time during pneumectomy in rats

Acta cir. bras; 34 (3), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate, in rats, the open field videothermometry in real time while performing left pneumonectomy for early diagnosis of cardiopulmonary changes. Methods: Twelve non-specific pathogen-free Wistar rats were randomly allocated into two groups; pneumectomy group (GP) and sham surger...

Undernutrition impairs the quality of growth plate and trabecular and cortical bones in growing rats

Acta cir. bras; 34 (3), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of dietary restriction on the growth plate and long bone tissue in growing rats. Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to two groups: Control (Con) and Diet-restricted (Res). After weaning, the Res rats were offered 50% of the chow ingeste...

Ointment of Ximenes americana promotes acceleration of wound healing in rats

Acta cir. bras; 34 (3), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the healing potential of the Ximenia americana hydroalcoholic extract in 10% cream in excisional wound models in rats. Methods: Sixty male adults Wistar rats were submitted to skin and subcutaneous tissue surgery in the right and left thoracic regions, divided into three...

Comparative study of peritoneal adhesions after intraperitoneal implantation in rats of meshes of polypropylene versus polypropylene/polyglecaprone versus polyester/porcine collagen

Acta cir. bras; 34 (6), 2019
Abstract Purpose To Compare the extent and intensity of adhesions formed between the intra-abdominal organs and the intraperitoneal implants of polypropylene mesh versus polypropylene/polyglecaprone versus polyester/porcine collagen used for correction of abdominal wall defect in rats. Methods After ...

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta inhibitors protectagainst the acute lung injuries resulting from acute necrotizing pancreatitis

Acta cir. bras; 34 (6), 2019
Abstract Purpose The research is intended for clarification of the efficacy as well as the underlying mechanism of GSK-3β inhibitors on the advancement of acute lung injuries in acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) in rats. Methods Seventy-two rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: (1)ANP-veh...

Is the colon mucosa affected by ten days of gastric restriction in an animal model?

Acta cir. bras; 34 (6), 2019
Abstract Purpose To identify whether the colon mucosa is affected by ten days of gastric restriction in an animal model. Methods An experimental model of gastric restriction was devised using rats. The animals were submitted to surgical gastrostomy, and a cylindrical loofah was inserted into the stom...

Bioceramic cement in the filling of bone defects in rats

Acta cir. bras; 34 (6), 2019
Abstract Purpose To evaluate PBS®MCIMMO cement in the filling of bone defects. Methods Thirty-six adult male Wistar rats were divided into three groups of twelve individuals each (group 1, group 2 and group 3). In all groups, a bone failure in the femur was induced, 2.0 mm wide and 7.0 mm deep. In g...

Análise dos efeitos da suplementação dietética com Camu-Camu comparada à gastrectomia vertical no controle de peso de ratos Wistar

Rev. Col. Bras. Cir; 46 (4), 2019
RESUMO Objetivo: comparar os efeitos do extrato hidroalcoólico da casca do Camu-Camu, uma planta frutífera pertencente à família Myrtaceae amplamente distribuída na bacia amazônica, com os da gastrectomia vertical, sobre o peso e a glicemia de ratos Wistar.

Avaliação de mecanismos de modificação pós-traducional da óxido nítrico sintase endotelial (eNOS) associados a biodisponibilidade do óxido nítrico em artérias de ratas espontaneamente hipertensas (SHR) ao final da prenhez

A redução da reatividade vascular à fenilefrina (PE) em aorta de ratas espontaneamente hipertensas (SHR) ao final da prenhez é dependente de maior produção e/ou maior biodisponibilidade de óxido nítrico (NO), consequente do aumento da fosforilação da enzima óxido nítrico sintase endotelial (e...
