Purpose: To analyze the effects of Anacardium occidentale Linn on the healing of skin wounds.
Methods: Twenty Wistar male rats were distributed into four groups (with five animals each one): negative control group (NCG), treated with saline solution; cashew tree group (CG), treated with hydroalcoholic extract of the bark of A. occidentale Linn; manipulated cashew tree group (MCG), with the ointment of extract of the bark of A.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of copaiba oil administered by different routes on survival of mices subjected to cecal ligation and puncture.
Methods: Thirty two mice were distributed into four study groups (N=8): Sham group: normal standard animals;
Control Group: submitted a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP); Gavage group: submitted a CLP, and treat with copaiba oil by gavage; and Subcutaneous group: submitted a CLP, and treat with copaiba oil by subcutaneous injection. After the death of the histological analysis were performed.
Purpose: To describe a new model to passive smoking for rodents.
Methods: Twenty rats were distributed into two study groups (N=10): control group (CG), that was not exposed to tobacco smoke and used as normal standard for biochemical and histological analysis; Experimental Group (EG), that Animals were exposed to the passive smoking; Euthanasia was performed after 14 days of exposure. The serum level of nicotine and histological analysis were performed.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of copaiba oil on the correction of abdominal defect treated with the use of polypropylene/polyglecaprone mesh in rats.
Methods: A defect in the abdominal wall was created and corrected with polypropylene/polyglecaprone mesh in 36 rats. They were randomly distributed into three groups: control, copaiba by oral administration (gavage) and copaiba oil dip in the mesh.
Purpose: Analyze the influence of low-intensity laser therapy in the sciatic nerve regeneration of rats submitted to controlled crush through histological analysis.
Methods: Were used 20 Wistar rats, to analyze the influence of low-intensity laser therapy in the sciatic nerve regeneration, where the injury of the type axonotmesis was induced by a haemostatic clamp Crile (2nd level of the rack). The animals were randomly distributed in 2 groups.
Purpose: To study comparatively ovarian autograft and heterograft in rats' omentum pouch, using Cyclosporine A.
Methods: In the present study 20 rats, distributed equally in four groups, had been used: Control Group (rats submitted to ooforectomy); Group A (ovarian autograft); group H (ovarian heterograft); e group C (ovarian heterograft and treatment with Cyclosporine A). All animals had been submitted to a bilateral ooforectomy.
