Abstract: Purpose: To evaluate the effect of fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment using lower power associated with pulse stacking within collagen fibers, using second harmonic generation microscopy and computerized image analysis. Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats aging eight weeks were used. Each treatment area received a single-pass CO2 fractional laser with different parameters. The 20 animals wer...

Agradecimentos: U.N. was recipient of a TWAS/CNPq fellowship. This work was funded by a grant from FAPESP (Grant 2009/16150-6); Abstract: The high incidence of prostatic diseases, including malignant tumors, makes the understanding of prostate biology very important. Androgen deprivation, blockade by orchiectomy, or chemical castration causes prostate and tumor shrinkage. The gene networks involved in a cell ty...
