Comparison of three techniques for decellularization of porcine bone-tendon-bone grafts.

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are frequent afflictions related to sports or physical trauma. Autograft reconstruction strategies cause secondary injury to the patient. One alternative, supported by clinical evidence, is porcine xenografts.

Ketamine reduces intestinal injury and inflammatory cell infiltration after ischemia/reperfusion in rats.

Purpose: Intestinal ischemia reperfusion (I/R) induces severe injury and significant mortality. New therapeutic interventions are needed; ketamine is an anesthetic with anti-inflammatory properties, which has shown protective effects on I/R in various organs. This study investigated effects of ketamine on intestinal I/R injury.

Ketamine and the myenteric plexus in intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Background And Aims: Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) is a common clinical entity with severe consequences. We studied the effects of ketamine and the participation of the myenteric plexus in I/R injury.

Methods: Rats were divided into six groups: sham, IR (30 min ischemia/60 min reperfusion), KET+IR (50 mg/kg i.
