Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to compare the effectiveness of epoprostenol and Helixor in treating avascular necrosis of the femoral head in rabbits, with the hypothesis that Helixor may be as effective as epoprostenol.
  • A group of 45 rabbits was divided into three groups: a control group, one treated with Ilomedin (an epoprostenol analogue), and another with Helixor. Various factors such as bone necrosis, repair, and cartilage damage were examined microscopically.
  • Results showed that while the control group had more necrosis, the treatment groups had improved bone marrow cellularity and less cartilage damage, with Helixor showing the most significant

Objective: Exercise has many beneficial effects in the treatment and prevention of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of physical activities with different frequencies performed within a total total duration of one week on the heart and kidney tissues and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expressions in experimental T2DM model.

Method: Rats (n: 30) were divided into sedentary control (SC), sedentary T2DM (SD), T2DM and continuous exercise (DEc, 30 min/day, 5 days/week), T2DM and short bouts exercise (DEsb, 3x10 min/day, 5 days/week), T2DM and weekend warrior exercise (DEww, 35+40 min/day, 2 days/week) groups.

Purpose: The purpose of this experimental study was to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy combined with microfracture technique in the treatment of cartilage lesions.

Methods: Adult Wistar rats (n=44) were divided into six groups. In Groups A, B, C and D, ICRS* (* International Cartilage Repair Society) grade 4 cartilage lesions were made on the femoral sulcus of both knees.
