Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the effects of Solidago chilensis and laser therapy on burn healing in diabetic rats, aiming to find better treatment options.
- The rats were divided into four groups with different treatments, and analyses were performed at various time points post-injury.
- Results showed that the combination of S. chilensis and laser therapy reduced inflammation and improved blood vessel formation, ultimately leading to better collagen organization and healing in the burns.
Tendon injuries are common and have a high incidence of re-rupture that can cause loss of functionality. Therapies with adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) and the microcurrent (low-intensity electrical stimulation) application present promising effects on the tissue repair. We analyzed the expression of genes and the participation of some molecules potentially involved in the structural recovery of the Achilles tendon of rats, in response to the application of both therapies, isolated and combined.

We hypothesized that red LED irradiation could stimulate paracrine secretion of ASC, contributing to the activation of genes and molecules involved in cell migration and tissue repair. ASC were co-cultured with NIH/3T3 fibroblasts through direct contact and subjected to red LED irradiation (1.

We perform excisional lesion on the dorsum of four groups anesthetized animals: ad libitum-AL diet, AL diet with topical application of 2% resveratrol-Rv, 30% calorie restricted, and finally 30% calorie restricted with 2% resveratrol and we examine CR and Rv effects in wound repair. Restricted animals remained with CR for 31 days.

Our objective was to evaluate the effects of the ASCs combination with a low-level laser (LLL), an effective photobiostimulation for the healing processes.
Materials And Methods: Rats calcaneal tendons were divided into five groups: normal (NT), transected (T), transected and ASCs (SC) or LLL (L), or with ASCs and LLL (SCL).
