Evaluation of angiogenesis, inflammation, and healing on irradiated skin graft with low-level laser therapy in rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus wistar)
摘要: The reconstructive techniques have been widely used in Veterinary Medicine. The post-operative adjuvants therapies like the low-level laser therapy (LLLT) are used to decrease inherent complications to reconstructive surgeries. This article purposed to define the LLLT effects on the healing, inflammation, and vascularization of the skin grafts in applicable time intervals to veterinary surgical routine. Forty rats (Rattus norvegicus albinus wistar) were used and each one was submitted to autogenous cutaneous mesh grafting in the interescapular region. The rats were randomly distributed in five groups (G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5) in accordance with the 6 J/cm2 or 10 J/cm2 dose every 3 or 5 days. These treatments were applied on the skin graft for 15 days. The histochemical evaluation with Picrosirius showed greater expression of collagen type 1 – red in grafts of G5 (p < 0.05), while in G1 did not; the expression of collagen type III – green was not induced by LLLT. The histochemical evaluation with hematoxylin-eosin showed greater numbers of fibroblasts in grafts of G4 (p < 0.05) and less hemorrhage in grafts of G5 (p < 0.05). There was modulation of the inflammatory response in irradiated skin grafts. It is concluded the exhibition of the skin grafts to 6 J/cm2 or 10 J/cm2 dose every 5 days improved the healing and the modulation of the local inflammation.

2-(4-Methylsulfonylphenyl)pyrimidines as Prospective Radioligands for Imaging Cyclooxygenase-2 with PET—Synthesis, Triage, and Radiolabeling
摘要: Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is an inducible enzyme responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid into the prostaglandins, PGG2 and PGH2. Expression of this enzyme increases in inflammation. Therefore, the development of probes for imaging COX-2 with positron emission tomography (PET) has gained interest because they could be useful for the study of inflammation in vivo, and for aiding anti-inflammatory drug development targeting COX-2. Nonetheless, effective PET radioligands are still lacking. We synthesized eleven COX-2 inhibitors based on a 2(4-methylsulfonylphenyl)pyrimidine core from which we selected three as prospective PET radioligands based on desirable factors, such as high inhibitory potency for COX-2, very low inhibitory potency for COX-1, moderate lipophilicity, and amenability to labeling with a positron-emitter. These inhibitors, namely 6-methoxy-2-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl-N-(thiophen-2ylmethyl)pyrimidin-4-amine (17), the 6-fluoromethyl analogue (20), and the 6-(2-fluoroethoxy) analogue (27), were labeled in useful yields and with high molar activities by treating the 6-hydroxy analogue (26) with [11C]iodomethane, [18F]2-fluorobromoethane, and [d2-18F]fluorobromomethane, respectively. [11C]17, [18F]20, and [d2-18F]27 were readily purified with HPLC and formulated for intravenous injection. These methods allow these radioligands to be produced for comparative evaluation as PET radioligands for measuring COX-2 in healthy rhesus monkey and for assessing their abilities to detect inflammation.
