Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effects of electroacupuncture and laserpuncture on healing skin wounds in female Wistar rats.
  • Ninety rats were divided into three groups: control, electroacupuncture, and laserpuncture, and evaluated over a 21-day period for various histological and biochemical changes.
  • Both electroacupuncture and laserpuncture enhanced healing by increasing fibroblast numbers and new blood vessels compared to the control, although they showed different effects on collagen types and growth factors over the experimental timeline.

Cemetery leachate generated by the process of cadaveric decomposition is a significant contaminant of several matrices in the cemetery environment (soil, groundwater, and surface water). The biogenic amines cadaverine and putrescine stand out among the cemetery leachate contaminants, since they are potentially carcinogenic compounds. This review article presents a discussion of possible environmental impacts caused by the increase in deaths resulting from COVID-19 as its central theme.

Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences, University Center of Herminio Ometto Foundation - FHO, Dr. Maximiliano Baruto Ave, 500. Jardim Universitario, 13607-339, Araras, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Electronic address:

Objective: To evaluate formulations of 1 % silver (Ag) nanoparticles for treating traumatic lesions induced in the oral mucosa of rats, because these lesions are commonly observed in the dental clinic, and their therapeutic forms are scarce.

Methods: Wistar rats were punch-injured (two circular fragments, 4.0 mm in diameter) in the oral mucosa (one on each side), and were treated topically (twice per week) with the treatments/groups including: no injury, control, vehicle, diluted Ag, soluble Ag, and solid Ag.

Burns are a public health problem, with second-degree burns as one of the most common types. Although intense inflammation worsens burn healing, effective therapies are scarce. Thus, infections and hypertrophic scars may occur, which compromise patient quality of life and may delay healing.
