A ruptura do tendão calcâneo acomete uma grande parte da população, principalmente atletas e idosos e seu processo de reparo ainda necessita de maiores esclarecimentos, possibilitando novos tratamentos. O ácido ascórbico (AA) é uma substância conhecida pela participação na hidroxilação de prolina e lisina, importante para síntese da matriz extracelular, bem como eficiência comprovada em diversos tratamentos por suas propriedades antioxidantes. Dessa forma, o presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o efeito do tratamento local com AA nos parâmetros de reparo tecidual e funcional no tendão calcâneo de ratos. O trabalho foi aprovado pelo comitê de ética da instituição (CEPAE-UFPA) sob o parecer 161-13. Os animais foram submetidos à ruptura do tendão calcâneo, em três grupos (n=18): Controle; Injúria+AA (30mM); Injúria+veículo (NaCl 0,9%). Todos os tratamentos foram realizados por injeção local, a partir do segundo dia pós-lesão e a cada dois dias até o 14º dia ou 21º dia. Foi avaliado a marcha dos animais pelo Índice funcional de Aquiles (IFA) nos dias 7(n=6), 14(n=6) e 21(n=3) dias pós-lesão, o número de células por marcação com DAPI no 14º(n=9) e 21º(n=9) dia pós –lesão e a estrutura do tecido por marcação com HE, nos mesmos dias. Os animais não diferiram no ganho de massa corporal. O grupo Injúria+AA(-39.51±15.3) apresentou melhora funcional principalmente no 14º dia, se comparado ao grupo Injúria+veículo(-89.22±16.57, p<0,01). A análise histológica demonstrou sob contagem do número de células, que o grupo Injúria+AA(762±29.6) apresentou um menor número de células no 21º dia em relação ao grupo Injúria+veículo(916±57.0, p<0,01). A análise da autofluorescência do colágeno e HE demostrou que o grupo tratado com AA apresentou uma estrutura tecidual mais conservada em 14 e 21 dias pós-lesão em relação ao grupo veículo que, por sua vez, difere bastante do grupo controle. Nossos resultados sugerem que o ácido ascórbico acelera o processo de reparo da lesão tendínea, apresentando melhoras teciduais e funcionais 21 dias após a lesão.

Purpose: This study evaluated the healing process of teeth replanted after root treatment and intracanal dressing with indomethacin alone or indomethacin with calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH](2)).Materials and Methods: Through a case-control study, 24 teeth of 6 adult dogs were extracted, dried, and divided into 4 groups according to the root surface treatment protocols performed before replantation and the intracanal medication used after replantation. In group 1 (negative control), root surfaces were treated by immersion in a 0.9% saline solution and then replanted. In the other groups, the roots were immersed for 10 minutes in Ca(OH)(2) (group 2), indomethacin (group 3), or a solution of indomethacin and Ca(OH)(2) (group 4). After 2 weeks, group 1 teeth were subjected to single-visit root canal treatment and obturation with gutta-percha and sealer consisting of zinc oxide and eugenol. The teeth in the other groups were subjected to intracanal dressing with the same material used for immersion. After an additional period of 28 weeks, the animals were euthanized and the jaws containing the replanted teeth were processed for histologic analysis. Histometric values were statistically analyzed, with significance set at a P value less than or equal to .05.Results: Group 1 exhibited significantly more normal periodontium than group 4 (P = .02). Total resorption was greater in group 4 than in group 1 (P = .02). No statistically significant difference in the percentage of surface resorption or in total inactive resorption was observed between the groups.Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that intracanal dressing and topical root treatment with Ca(OH)(2) with or without indomethacin is not recommended for teeth dried for 50 minutes, but the use of indomethacin alone as root surface treatment for delayed tooth replantation deserves further study using longer drying periods. In addition, the present results suggest that a single-visit root canal, performed up to 2 weeks after replantation, might be indicated for teeth dried for up to 50 minutes.

Scientific advances have been made to optimize the healing process in spinal cord injury. Studies have been developed to obtain effective treatments in controlling the secondary injury that occurs after spinal cord injury, which substantially changes the prognosis. Low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) has been applied in neuroscience due to its anti-inflammatory effects on biological tissue in the repairing process. Few studies have been made associating LILT to the spinal cord injury. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the LILT (GaAlAs laser-780 nm) on the locomotor functional recovery, histomorphometric, and histopathological changes of the spinal cord after moderate traumatic injury in rats (spinal cord injury at T9 and T10). Thirty-one adult Wistar rats were used, which were divided into seven groups: control without surgery (n = 3), control surgery (n = 3), laser 6 h after surgery (n = 5), laser 48 h after surgery (n = 5), medullar lesion (n = 5) without phototherapy, medullar lesion + laser 6 h after surgery (n = 5), and medullar lesion + laser 48 h after surgery (n = 5). The assessment of the motor function was performed using Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scale and adapted Sciatic Functional Index (aSFI). The assessment of urinary dysfunction was clinically performed. After 21 days postoperative, the animals were euthanized for histological and histomorphometric analysis of the spinal cord. The results showed faster motor evolution in rats with spinal contusion treated with LILT, maintenance of the effectiveness of the urinary system, and preservation of nerve tissue in the lesion area, with a notorious inflammation control and increased number of nerve cells and connections. In conclusion, positive effects on spinal cord recovery after moderate traumatic spinal cord injury were shown after LILT.

The behavior and experience of pain are characterized by alertness and anxiety, which disappear soon after the healing process begins. Based on this area, the present study aimed to quantify the expression of c-fos in segments of the brain of rats after surgical stimulation in one rear hind paw (analgesia), using anesthesia with sodium thiopental and practices of acupuncture pre and post operative. The animals were stimulated with intraperitoneal injections of solution (NaCl) 0.2% (2ml), and divided into three groups, control, preoperative and postoperative. Each treatment was divided in manual acupuncture (AM) and electroacupuncture (EA). The animals were randomly distributed in each group. The c-fos expression was quantitated using immunohistochemistry for all situations. The results showed a great efficiency of all treatment compared to the control group (p <0.001), thus reenforcing data in the literature on the potential of acupuncture analgesia. There were no statistical differences among the different treatments, although there was a trend of EA being more efficient than AM

Nowadays less invasive and “toxic” techniques are being searched, not only for the environment but also for the human and animal organisms themselves. So between the numerous studied and used techniques to help the tissue healing process there is the ‘Magnet Therapy’. The aim of the present study was to
