Verde, Maria Elisa Quezado Lima; Ferreira Júnior, Antonio Ernando Carlos; Barros Silva, Paulo Goberlânio de; Miguel, Emilio de CastroNile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) skin is a well-known biomaterial used as an occlusive dressing for burn treatment. It is also an inexpensive and important source of collagen. This study aims to describe the ultrastructural aspects of Nile tilapia skin, assess its collagen amount and organization, and compare quantitative methods of histochemical and immunohistochemical analysis (in all sterilization steps ...

Assreuy, Ana Maria Sampaio; Adjafre, Beatriz Lima; Sousa, Évilla Rayanne Oliveira; Alves, Ana Paula Negreiros Nunes; Pires, Alana de FreitasArthropod venoms are potential sources of bioactive substances, providing tools for the validation of popular use and new drugs design. Ants belonging to the genus Dinoponera are used in the folk medicine to treat inflammatory conditions. It was previously demonstrated that the venom of the giant ant Dinoponera quadriceps (DqV), containing a mixture of polypeptides, elicit antinociceptive effect in mi...
The use of Nile Tilapia skin as an occlusive biological dressing for palatal wo...
Manfredi, Gustavo Gonçalves do Prado; Cardoso, Matheus Volz; Stuani, Vitor de Toledo; Ferreira, Rafael; Zangrando, Mariana Schutzer RagghiantiRecently, the use of type I collagen obtained from Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was proposed for the treatment of second and third-degree burning lesions and diabetic ulcers due to its occlusive and healing properties. The aim of this report is to describe the use of Nile tilapia skin as an occlusive barrier to protect palatal wounds after the removal of free autogenous soft tissue grafts. Two patients ...
22β-hydroxytingenone induces apoptosis and suppresses invasiveness of melanoma ...
Aranha, Elenn Suzany Pereira; Portilho, Adrhyann Jullyanne de Sousa; Sousa, Leilane Bentes de; Silva, Emerson Lucena da; Mesquita, Felipe PantojaEthnopharmacological relevance: 22β-hydroxytingenone (22-HTG) is a quinonemethide triterpene isolated from Salacia impressifolia (Miers) A. C. Smith (family Celastraceae), which has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of diseases, including dengue, renal infections, rheumatism and cancer. However, the anticancer effects of 22-HTG and the underlying molecular mechanisms in melanoma cells have no...
A proline derivative-enriched methanol fraction from Sideroxylon obtusifolium l...
Souza, Tamiris F. G.; Pierdoná, Taiana M.; Macedo, Fernanda Soares; Aquino, Pedro E. A.; Rangel, Gisele F. P.; Duarte, Rebeca S.; Silva, Lorena Mara A.It was previously demonstrated that the methanol fraction of Sideroxylon obtusifolium (MFSOL) promoted anti-inflammatory and healing activity in excisional wounds. Thus, the present work investigated the healing effects of MFSOL on human keratinocyte cells (HaCaT) and experimental burn model injuries. HaCaT cells were used to study MFSOL’s effect on cell migration and proliferation rates. Female Swiss mice were...
