Remote ischemic perconditioning was more effective reducing renal ischemia-reperfusion injury than administration of tramadol or association of both treatments.
The use of andiroba in topical form may be associated with reduced intensity of OM. Seek therapeutic alternatives to minimize the pain and suffering that these side effects cause cancer patients is an important scientific step.
Continuous versus interrupted suture technique in microvascular anastomosis in rats 1
1-Experimental SurgeryActa Cir Bras. 2017;32(9):691-696
AbstractPurpose: To compare the continuous and interrupted suture technique on femoral artery on rats after vessel repair and 14 days after. Methods: Twenty rats were operated randomly divided into two group matched according to the suture technique used: interrupted or continuous. We performed a femoral anastomosis on the right femoral artery. We analyzed weight, arterial caliber, anastomosis time and patency after vessel repair and 14 days after. Results: There was no significant difference between groups in the weight (p=0.64), diameter of the femoral artery (p=0.95) and patency (p=1.00). The time spent in the anastomosis was 451 seconds in the continuous group and 718 seconds in the interrupted group, presenting significant difference (p<0.01).
Conclusion:The continuous suture technique shows a similar patency rates than interrupted technique, however with a shorter time to perform the anastomosis.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of Veronica officinalis extract as a anti-inflammatory substance on the kidney function of rats subjected to cecal ligation and puncture, describing histopathological and biochemical findings.
Methods:Twenty rats (Rattus norvegicus) were distributed into four groups (N=5): Sham group (GS), normal standard animals; Sepsis group (GSep), submitted a cecal ligation and puncture (CLP); Veronica group (GV), administered only Veronica officinalis extract once daily by gavage from the first day until the seventh day, without sepsis induction; Sepsis-Veronica group (GSep-V), administered Veronica officinalis extract once daily by gavage from the first day of CLP until the seventh day procedure. After the euthanasia, blood was collected for assessment of kidney biochemical and histological analysis were performed.
Results:The statistical analysis showed that there was statistically significant in serum levels of creatinine between GS and GSep (p=0.0029); and GSep and GSep-V (p=0.0184). In addition, there was statistically significant of histopathological parameters observed between GS and GSep (p=0.0001); GSep and GV (p=0.0415); also between GSep and GSep-V (p=0.0003).
Conclusion:Veronica officinalis extract promoted a significant antiinflammatory effect on kidney function and reduction of tissue damage in rats with sepsis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
