Inflammatory response has an important role in the outcome of cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIR). Biliverdin (BV) administration can relieve CIR in rats, but the mechanism remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to explore the expressional network of microRNA (miRNA)‑mRNA in CIR rats following BV administration. A rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model with BV treatment was established. After neurobehavior was evaluated by neurological severity scores (NSS), miRNA and mRNA expressional profiles were analyzed by microarray technology from the cerebral cortex subjected to ischemia and BV administration. Then, bioinformatics prediction was used to screen the correlation between miRNA and mRNA, and 20 candidate miRNAs and 33 candidate mRNAs were verified by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Furthermore, the regulation relationship between ETS proto‑oncogene 1 (Ets1) and miRNA204‑5p was examined by luciferase assay. A total of 86 miRNAs were differentially expressed in the BV group compared with the other groups. A total of 10 miRNAs and 26 candidate genes were identified as a core 'microRNA‑mRNA' regulatory network that was linked with the functional improvement of BV administration in CIR rats. Lastly, the luciferase assay results confirmed that miRNA204‑5p directly targeted Ets1. The present findings suggest that BV administration may regulate multiple miRNAs and mRNAs to improve neurobehavior in CIR rats, by influencing cell proliferation, apoptosis, maintaining ATP homeostasis, and angiogenesis.

Background: Nowdays, more relevant applications of perinatal derivatives, such as amniotic membrane (AM), are emerging in our environment as a source of biomaterials for use in different healing processes. The study of anastomosis healing associated with antimetabolic drugs such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is a potential target of AM.

Aims: To evaluate the healing effects of AM in rats treated with 5-FU at a dose of 20 mg/kg on the seventh day of postoperative evolution, regarding the parameters percentage of type I collagen (mature), cell viability, microvascular density and formation of granulation tissue.

Pharmacological effects of triamcinolone associated with surgical glue on cutaneous wound healing in rats.

Acta Cir Bras

December 2024

Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo - Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences - Program of Postgraduate in Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicine - São Paulo (SP) - Brazil.

Purpose: The surgical glue is widely used in closing cutaneous surgical wounds. Corticosteroids are indicated for their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. The present work evaluated the pharmacological effects of triamcinolone (AT) incorporated into surgical glue (C) on the initial phase of the wound healing process in Wistar rats.

Calendula glycolic extract enhances wound healing of alginate hydrogel.

Acta Cir Bras

December 2024

Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa - Postgraduate Program in Biomedical Sciences - Ponta Grossa (PR) - Brazil.

Purpose: To assess the cytotoxicity and wound healing properties of an alginate hydrogel containing calendula glycolic extract.

Methods: Cell viability in murine fibroblasts (3T3 cells) was evaluated using MTT and SRB assays. The wound healing effect was tested in an incisional wound model on 50 female Wistar rats, divided into two groups: rats treated with alginate hydrogel (n = 25), and rats treated with calendula-alginate hydrogel.

Treatment of patients with myocardial ischemic diseases crucially involves cardiac reperfusion (CR). However, oxidative stress and tissue lesions caused by CR may also lead to lethal complications, such as arrythmias and vasoplegic syndrome (VS). Although methylene blue (MB) has long been used to treat VS due to cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (CIR) and/or surgery because of its vascular effects, MB's effects on the heart are unclear.
