Article Synopsis
- Jatropha elliptica roots are traditionally used to treat gastric ulcers, and this study investigates the gastroprotective effects and toxicity of its ethanol extract and hexane fraction in mice.
- The findings show that both the extracts significantly reduced gastric lesions in ulcer models without causing any acute toxicity symptoms.
- Key compounds identified include fraxetin and jatrophone, with cyperenoic acid showing notable potency in reducing gastric lesions and preserving the gastric mucus layer, indicating its potential as a protective agent.

Objective: Morphological study of effects of silver sulfadiazine, Tabebuia avellanedae (ipê-roxo) extract and Stryphnodendron adstringens (barbatimão) extract on cutaneous wound healing was done.
Methods: Ninety six Wistar rats were used. All animals underwent a femoral right vein ligation to induce a venous hypertension.
Purpose: To evaluate axonal regeneration after end-to-side nerve repair with fibrin glue in rats.
Methods: Forty-five Wistar rats were divided into three groups: group A (n=15), were not submitted to surgery (control group); group B (n=15) were submitted to fibular transection without repair; and group C (n=15), were submitted to fibular transection with end-to-side nerve anastomosis using fibrin glue, in the lateral surface of an intact tibial nerve. The three groups were submitted to walking track (30 and 90 days) and posterior morphometrical analysis (90 days).
