Purpose: To evaluate the functional and structural response of tadalafil effects in the intestinal mucosa, using an experimental model of hypoxia and reoxygenation injury in rats.
Methods: The animals were divided into 4 groups: CTL, H/R, H/R+Td and M+Td. The newborn rats allocated in groups H/R, H/R+Td and M+Td were submitted twice a day, to a gas chamber with CO2 at 100% for 10 minutes and afterward reoxygenation with O2 at 98% for 10 minutes, in the three first days of life.
Purpose: To determine the effect of a single dose of adriamycin (ADR) to induce anorectal malformations (ARMs) and determine the effect of folic acid (FA) in this model.
Methods: Ten female Wistar rats were divided randomly in two groups. Group A - ADR; Group B - FA+ADR.
Purpose: To compare the reconstruction of corpus cavernosum segments when seeded with mesenchymal stem cells and when stem cells are infused intravenously.
Methods: Sixteen New Zealand rabbits were submitted to reconstruction of the corpus cavernosum and distributed in Group A - decellularized matrices, Group B - decellularized matrices seeded with mesenchymal stem cells Group C - decellularized matrices submitted to intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cells. The mesenchymal stem cells were obtained by bone marrow aspiration.
Neopterin plays an important role in the malignant disease diagnostics. However, the methods employed in neopterin determination are generally difficult and/or time consuming. The aim of this work was to standardize a practical method to quantify neopterin using high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) and quantify it in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
