Importância da utilização de ácido alfa lipóico (ALA) e catalase (CAT) no proce...
Silva, Luciana Mascena; Lunardi, Franciele Osmarini; Rodrigues, Giovanna Quintino; Girão, Virgínia Cláudia Carneiro; Rodrigues, Ana Paula RibeiroCryopreservation of preantral ovarian follicles is a promising prospect for the preservation of oocyte fertility and oocyte development or in the case of pathologies and therapeutics that may compromise follicular reserves. The great advantage of cryopreservation of ovarian tissue is that it is independent of the age and stage of the menstrual/estral cycle, and involves fewer ethical and social issues. However,...
Caracterização ultraestrutural da cartilagem articular em modelo experimental d...
Porto, Fernanda Maria Aragão Ximenes; Rocha, Francisco Airton Castro da; Pinto, Ana Carolina Matias Dinely; Nunes, Rodolfo de MeloEm estudos anteriores demonstramos que camundongos submetidos a meniscotomia desenvolvem osteoartrite (OA) mais grave e sintomática com marcante sinovite que camundongos submetidos à retirada do menisco (meniscectomia). Nesse trabalho, buscamos determinar as características ultraestruturais de lesões articulares presentes no modelo de OA por meniscotomia através de técnicas de microscopia eletrônica de varredur...
Tumor necrosis factor prevents Candida albicans biofilm formation
Rocha, Francisco Airton Castro; Alves, Anelise Maria Costa Vasconcelos; Rocha, Marcos Fábio Gadelha; Cordeiro, Rossana de Aguiar CordeiroCandida species are commensals but some develop biofilms in prosthetic materials and host surfaces that may represent up to 30% of deaths related to infections, particularly in immunosuppressed patients. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) exhibits a plethora of functions in host defense mechanisms whereas excessive release of TNF in inflammation promotes tissue damage. Cytokines released in an inflammatory milieu may ...
Estágio a docência como ferramenta de formação pedagógica: percepção dos pós-gr...
Porto, Fernanda Maria Aragão Ximenes; Santos, Pedro Henrique Carvalho; Lima, Dayane Ellen Rebouças; Girão, Virgínia Cláudia CarneiroA profissão docente requer uma sólida formação, não apenas na abordagem científica de sua área de atuação, mas também nos aspectos inerentes à sua didática e ao encaminhamento dos diferentes saberes que caracterizam a docência no ensino superior. Normalmente a formação pedagógica do professor, nos programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu, prioriza disciplinas e atividades voltadas à pesquisa. Dessa forma, acred...
Strontium ranelate analgesia in arthritis models is associated to decreased cyt...
Nunes, Rodolfo de Melo; Martins, Morgana Ramos; Silva Junior, Francisco Saraiva da; Leite, Ana Caroline Rocha de Melo; Girão, Virgínia Cláudia CarneiroObjective We investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of strontium ranelate (SR) in arthritis models. Materials and methods Rats received 1 mg zymosan (Zy) or saline intra-articularly. Other groups were subjected to anterior cruciate ligament transection in the right knee, as an osteoarthritis (OA) model, or a sham procedure. Joint pain was assessed using the articular incapacitation and paw-pressure tests. ...
Preconditioning with mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids and low-intensity ele...
Cardoso, Maria dos Prazeres Carneiro; Albuquerque, Andréa de Oliveira; Girão, Virgínia Cláudia Carneiro; Pompeu, Margarida Maria de LimaPURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of preconditioning with oils mixes containing ω3/ω6/ω9 associated with micro-currents on skin repair in rats. METHODS: One-hundred and eight Wistar rats randomized into G-1, G-2 and G-3 groups were treated with saline (0.9%), mix 1 (corn+soybean oils) and mix 2 (olive+canola+flaxseed oils), respectively, in a single dose (0.01ml/g) by gavage. Next, each group was subdivided into...
Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effect of an extract of coccidioides pos...
Pinto, Ana Carolina Matias Dinelly; Cordeiro, Rossana de Aguiar; Sidrim, José Julio Costa; Leite, Ana Karine Rocha de MeloTrying to surpass host defenses, fungal infections alter the immune response. Components from nonpathogenic fungi present therapeutic anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating activities. This study reveals that proteins present in a Coccidioides posadasii extract provide anti-inflammatory benefit in experimental arthritis. Zymosan was given intra-articularly to rats and mice, and groups were pretreated with C. po...
Participação do óxido nítrico (NO) na modulação central da hiperalgesia na artr...
Girão, Virgínia Cláudia CarneiroWe investigate in this work the role of the central nervous system in the modulation of the inflammatory peripheral pain in the zymosan induced arthritis (AZy) in rats. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sinovial fluid were collected from animals at different AZy times (1, 3, 6, 12 and 14 hours) in order to determine the nitrite level. Different groups of male, Wistar rats (n=6), 250 to 300g weight, were then submit...
