Purpose: To investigate if low level laser therapy (LLLT) can decrease spinal cord injuries after temporary induced spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion in rats because of its anti-inflammatory effects.

Methods: Forty eight rats were randomized into two study groups of 24 rats each. In group I, ischemic-reperfusion (I-R) injury was induced without any treatment.

Background/aims: This study evaluated the effects of N-acetylcysteine as a scavenger of radical oxygen species on liver injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion.

Materials And Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats were allocated randomly into two experimental groups: ischemia reperfusion (I/R) and ischemia reperfusion + N-acetylcysteine (I/R+NAC). All animals were undergone 2h of ischemia by occlusion femoral artery and 24h of reperfusion.

Acceleration of bone healing has always been a major challenge in orthopedic surgery, the aim of this study was an evaluation of the biological effects of zirconia-stabilized yttria on bone healing, using an in vivo model. Nano-hydroxyapatite powder with zirconia-stabilized yttria were inserted in rabbit tibia and then histologically analyzed and compared with non-treated controls so thirty six. New Zealand white male rabbits randomly divided into two groups of 18 rabbits each.

t is known that ischemia reperfusion causes remote organ injury as well as local injury. The aim of this study was to investigate whether N-acetylcysteine has a protective effect against testicular injury after skeletal muscle ischemia reperfusion. Twenty male Wistar rats were allocated to two groups: ischemia reperfusion (control group) and ischemia reperfusion + N-acetylcysteine (treatment group).

Objective: To determine whether tramadol has a protective effect against lung injury induced by skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.

Methods: Twenty Wistar male rats were allocated to one of two groups: ischemia-reperfusion (IR) and ischemia-reperfusion + tramadol (IR+T). The animals were anesthetized with intramuscular injections of ketamine and xylazine (50 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively).

Purpose: To investigate if the methanolic extract of the Otostegia persica can accelerating healing process of burn wound because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Methods: Forty eight male Wistar rats were randomized into three study groups of 16 rats each. Burn wounds were created on dorsal part of shaved rats using a metal rod.

Purpose: Articular Cartilage has limited potential for self-repair and tissue engineering approaches attempt to repair articular cartilage by scaffolds. We hypothesized that the combined hydroxyapatite and zirconia stabilized yttria would enhance the quality of cartilage healing.

Methods: In ten New Zealand white rabbits bilateral full-thickness osteochondral defect, 4 mm in diameter and 3 mm depth, was created on the articular cartilage of the patellar groove of the distal femur.

Purpose: To investigate the osteoconductive properties and biological performance of Poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) with omentum in bone defects.

Methods: PLLA nanofiber scaffolds were prepared via electrospinning technique. Forty four New Zealand white female rabbits randomly divided into three groups of 18 rabbits each.

Purpose: To investigate whether N-acetylcysteine has a protective effect against renal injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion in rats.

Methods: Twenty Wistar male rats were divided randomly into two experimental groups: group ischemia-reperfusion (group I) and group ischemia-reperfusion + N-acetylcysteine (group II). After ketamine and xylazine anesthesia, femoral artery was exposed.

Purpose: To investigate whether N-acetylcysteine, a free radicals scavenger has a protective effect against lung injury as a remote organ after skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion.

Methods: Twenty Wistar male rats were divided randomly into two experimental groups: group ischemia-reperfusion (group I) and group ischemia-reperfusion +N-acetylcysteine (group II). All animals were undergone two hours of ischemia by occlusion femoral artery and 24h of reperfusion.
