Bone tissue has mechanical, mineral deposit and hematopoietic functions being composed of three cell types, osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts. Several substances are secreted by osteoblasts like protein and calcium ion, which plays a fundamental role in cellular homeostasis and in production of a mineralized bone tissue and whose flow S100A6 genes are involved, osteocalcin and PMCA1…
Laser discectomy or nucleotomy is an increasingly important method in less invasive procedures of column, but the ideal laser is still a matter of study. Objectives: to investigate the action of the laser emission in the infrared (808nm the 1908nm) region in the context of surgical procedures for percutaneous intervertebral disk decompression (nucleotomy). Methods: 50 intervertebral discs…
To evaluate the modulation of pro-inflammatory and tissue repair in partially injured Achilles tendons under the action of low level laser (LLL), more specifically investigate the differences in the release of pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL-1²), the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the Achilles tendons of animals treated with LLL and also histological analy…

Objectives: to determine potency, energy and time parameters, which present better application to continuous Carbon Dioxide Laser for Tribal Black tattoo removal. Explanation: The applicant use of salabrasion for tattoo removal (practice dated from 543 a.C) proves the difficulty in fundamental advances at this domain. Recent studies from American Society for Dermatologic Surgery show that…
The aim of this research is o determine the low-level laser action on the growth of human keratinocytes in vitro. Justification: There are many burn victims who need skin graft in Brazil. The limitations of organ donation difficult to treat all of them. Therefore, in vitro techniques that enable higher production of keratinocytes cooperate with the social demand. The low intensity laser i…
