[ 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 ] - 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...

[ 3 ] - 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...

[ 4 ] - Effects of Short Term Oral Administration of Curcumin on Achilles Tendon Healing in Rats

Objective- Tendon healing, in terms of histologic and functional characteristics, is always inferior to its normal level due to the poor vascularity and low metabolic rate. Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and healing effects. This study aimed to investigate effects of curcumin on Achilles tendon experimental injury using histopathology, biomechanical and functional evaluation...

[ 5 ] - اثر محفاظتی سیلدنافیل بر تعداد و تحرک اسپرم های اپیدیدیمی سمت مقابل متعاقب ترومای غیر نافذ یک طرفه بیضه در موش نر نابالغ

زمینه و هدف: ترومای غیر نافذ بیضه در درازمدت بر باروری اثرات سوئی بر جای می گذارد. مطالعه حاضر جهت ارزیابی کارایی سیلدنافیل در برابر آسیبهای ناشی از این تروما در تعداد و تحرک اسپرمهای اپیدیدیم سمت مقابل صورت گرفت. روش بررسی: در این مطالعه تجربی تصادفی شده شاهد دار، 24 موش نر نابالغ به چهار گروه شش سری تقسیم شدند. در دو گروه از موشها، بیضه راست متعاقب باز کردن شکم روی سطح ثابت استریلی قرار داده ...
