[ 1 ] - Fabrication of novel tubular scaffold for tendon repair from chitosan in combination with zinc nanoparticles
Chitosan bears numerous properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity making it suitable for use in different biomedical fields. Zinc (Zn) is required for fibroblasts proliferation and collagen synthesis as essential elements of wound healing. Its nanoparticles are well known for their capability to enhance wound healing by cell adhesion and migration improvement throu...
[ 2 ] - Comparing protective effect of grape seed extract versus atorvastatin on endometriosis in rat model: Evidence for immunohistochemical and biochemical alterations
Thirty six Wistar albino rats with implant induced endometriosis were randomly divided into six groups of six animals each. The rats in the first group received nothing and were euthanized at day 21. In the second group, rats received nothing and were euthanized at day 36. The third group received atorvastatin (ATV; 5 mg kg-1 per day, orally) until 21 days from induction of endometri...
[ 3 ] - Cardiovascular effects of Adonis aestivalis in anesthetized sheep
Adonis aestivalis (summer pheasant-eye) is an annual plant with a crimson flower, distributed in southern Europe and Asia. The plant has large buttercup-like blossoms and soft, fern-like leaves. It blooms in spring and is often found as a weed in cereal fields. Like other Adonis spp., the plant produces cardiac glycosides. It is used in remedies for mild weakness of the heart, especially when a...
[ 4 ] - Effects of flunixin meglumine on experimental tendon wound healing: A histopathological and mechanical study in rabbits
Tendons are frequently targets of injury in sports and work. Whether nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have beneficial effects on tendon healing is still a matter of debate. This study was conducted to evaluate effects of flunixin meglumine (FM) on tendon healing after experimentally induced acute trauma. Twenty eight adult male New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to complete t...
[ 5 ] - Healing of excisional wound in Alloxan induced diabetic sheep: A planimetric and histopathologic study
Healing of skin wound is a multi-factorial and complex process. Proper treatment of diabetic wounds is still a major clinical challenge. Although diabetes mellitus can occur in ruminants, healing of wounds in diabetic ruminants has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate healing of ovine excisional diabetic wound model. Eight 4-month-old Iranian Makoui wethers were equa...
[ 6 ] - Evaluation of clinical and paraclinical effects of intraosseous vs intravenous administration of propofol on general anesthesia in rabbits
This prospective study aimed to compare the intraosseous (IO) and intravenous (IV) effects of propofol on selected blood parameters and physiological variables during general anesthesia in rabbits. Thirty New Zealand White rabbits were studied. Six rabbits received IV propofol (group 1) and another 6 rabbits, were injected propofol intraosseously (Group 2) for 30 minutes (experimental groups). ...
[ 7 ] - Adipose derived stromal vascular fraction improves early tendon healing: an experimental study in rabbits
Tendon never restores the complete biological and mechanical properties after healing. Bone marrow and recently adipose tissue have been used as the sources of mesenchymal stem cells, which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), derived from adipose tissue by an enzymatic digestion, represents an alternative source of multipotent cells, which undergo differ...
[ 8 ] - Histological Impact of Long Term Varicocele-Induction on Right and Left Testes in Rat (Evidence for the Reduction of Sperm Quality and Mating Abilities)
This study was designed to clarify bilaterally effect of long-time varicocele on left and right testes and to identify the effect of varicocele on maturation divisions during spermatogenesis. Moreover, the percentage of seminiferous tubules (STs) with I-VIII and IX-XIV stages of spermatogenesis and sperm parameters such as sperm motility and abnormality types were evaluated. The left varicocele...
