RESUMEN: El presente estudio busca entregar conocimientos y aspectos importantes de las estructuras anatómicas asociadas al cuerpo adiposo de la mejilla (CAM), a consecuencia del reporte de un caso de complicación posterior a una bichectomía. Conocer los elementos anatómicos y sus relaciones con el C...

Microscopic analysis of the myocardial bridges and their relationship with atheromatous plaque

Int. j. morphol; 39 (1), 2021
SUMMARY: Most histopathological studies have reported that the segment of the coronary artery below the myocardial bridge does not present atheromatous plaque, while the segment proximal to the myocardial bridge may have it. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microscopic environment of myocardial ...

Can skinfold thickness equations be substituted for bioimpedance analysis in children?

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 97 (1), 2021
Abstract Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the agreement between the most used skinfold thickness equations with multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis in the prediction of body fat levels in children. Method: A cross-sectional study of healthy Brazilian community-dwelling individu...

Metabolizable energy levels in diets with a fixed nutrient: calorie ratio for free-range broilers

Semina ciênc. agrar; 42 (6, supl. 2), 2021
The present study proposes to examine the effect of dietary levels of metabolizable energy, under a fixed nutrient:calorie ratio, on the production performance; body fat and protein deposition; and carcass characteristics of free-range broilers from 1 to 84 days of age. Nine hundred unsexed chicks were a...

Effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) and bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2) transfection of rBMSCs compounded with platelet-rich plasma on adipogenic differentiation

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (2), 2021
The aim of this study was to inhibit adipogenic differentiation by transfecting two growth factors, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF-BB) and bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2), into modified rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and then compounded with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). To achiev...

Birth weight and body fat mass in adults assessed by bioimpedance in the ELSA-Brasil study

Intrauterine life is a critical period for the development of body fat and metabolic risk. This study investigated associations between birth weight and total and truncal body fat in adults. To do so, we analyzed data on 10,011 adults participating in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELS...

The influence of adipocyte-derived stem cells (ASCs) on the ischemic epigastric flap survival in diabetic rats

Acta cir. bras; 36 (9), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: To assess the effects of adipocyte-derived stem cell (ASC)-injection on the survival of surgical flaps under ischemia in diabetic rats. Methods: Diabetes was induced in 30 male Wistar rats using streptozotocin (55 mg/kg). After eight weeks, epigastric flap (EF) surgery was performed. ...

Quantification of adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells spread on decellularized vein scaffold

Acta cir. bras; 36 (10), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate methods that improve adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) population in decellularized biological venous scaffold for tissue engineering in blood vessels, a model in rabbits. Methods: The ASC was expanded until the third passage. Inferior vena cava (IVC) was submitted to the ...

Detection of Trypanosoma vivax in tissues of experimentally infected goats: what is the role of adipose tissue in the life cycle of this protozoon?

Abstract Trypanosomiasis, caused by Trypanosoma vivax, is responsible for great economic losses among livestock in Africa and South America. During the life cycle of these parasites, they may present different morphological, metabolic and physiological characteristics depending on the interactions that a...
