    PURPOSE:To evaluate the effect of a local application of simvastatin gel in repairing bone defects in the femurs of rabbits.METHODS:Two standard surgical cavities were created in the femoral epiphysis of 18 rabbits. In the simvastatin group (SG), the cavities were filled with a collagen sponge soaked in 0.5 ml of a simvastatin (1 mg) gel, and the cavities were covered with a biological membrane. The bone cavities in the second group (control group) were filled with a blood clot and covered with a biological membrane. On the 7th, 21st and 42nd days, six animals in each group were euthanized, and the femurs were subject to histological evaluation (vascularity, fibrosis, reactive bone formation, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts) and immunohistochemical (anti-VEGF and anti-osteocalcin) analysis. The results were analyzed using a Wilcoxon test (p<0.05).RESULTS:There were significant differences between the two groups: the SG had greater scores in comparison with the CG in terms of the degree of vascularity on the 7th and the 21st days, fibrosis on the 21st day, bone formation reaction on the 21st and the 42nd days and the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts on the 42nd day. The immunohistochemical expression was also greater for osteocalcin and VEGF on the 7th, 21st and 42nd days.CONCLUSION:Surgical defects created in rabbit femurs were treated locally with simvastatin gel to stimulate bone repair, which promoted an ameliorative effect in the morphological and immunohistochemical markers of bone regeneration.

    Introduction: Chronic Rhinosinusitis has a worldwide prevalence in the general population of 5% to 12% and is divided phenotypically into two main groups: Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyposis and Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyposis, presenting processes distinct remodeling. Involved in the remodeling process, the BMP-7, MMP-9 and TGF-β proteins appear to exhibit different behaviors in the two phenotypes and different relationships with the interleukins IL-6 and IL-10, which will be investigated in this study. Objective: to evaluate the expression of BMP-7, MMP-9, TGF-β protein in Rhinosinusitis with and without Nasal Polyposis and its relationship with interleukins IL-6 and IL-10. Method: the sample consisted of 86 participants, divided into three groups: one of patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyposis (n = 34), one of patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyposis (n= 26), both groups according to EPOS 2012 criteria, and a control group without inflammatory nasal mucosa disease (n = 26). BMP-7, MMP-9, TGF-β, IL-6 and IL-10 were dosed into the tissue by Elisa method. The presence of eosinophils was evaluated by immunohistochemical Hematoxylin/ Eosin. Results: the high-power field (HPF) eosinophil count in the Nasal Polyp sample was above 5 eosinophils per high-power field in 91% of the cases and 73% presented more than 10 eosinophils by High-Power Field. TGF-β level were significantly lower in the polypoid tissue group when compared to control group and Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyposis group. Dosage of IL-6 was significantly higher in the Nasal Polyps group when compared to the other groups. Dosage of IL-10 was significantly higher in control group when compared to the other groups. There were significant negative correlations between IL-6 and IL-10 in all group, and between MMP-9 and IL-6 in control group and Nasal Polyp group. There was a positive correlation between MMP-9 and IL-10 in Nasal Polyp group. There was a positive correlation between BMP-7 and IL-10 in all groups. Finally, the correlation between TGF-β and IL-6 was positive in control group and negative in Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyposis group. Conclusion: In Chronic Rhinosinusitis without Nasal Polyposis there is a low concentration of IL-10 and a high concentration of TGF-β. In Nasal Polyposis there is a low concentration of TGF-β and IL-10 and an increase in IL-6. IL-6 and IL-10 have a negative correlation with each other and distinct interactions with BMP-7 and MMP-9 in the groups analyzed. We concluded, therefore, that there is a close relationship between interleukins 6 and 10 and the main proteins involved in the remodeling process in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.
