Effects of protein depletion and repletion on experimental open wound contraction.

A controlled comparative study was conducted on the contraction of open wounds in protein-depleted and depleted-repleted Wistar rats. The wounds were photographed on days 1, 4, 8, 11, 15, 18, and 22 after infliction. The slides were projected and the areas corresponding to the wound were measured by planimetry. The results were analyzed using exponential regressions. Wound contraction was slowed in the protein-depleted animals but was normalized in the animals repleted immediately after the wound was produced. Comparing these results with observations from previous studies, the authors inferred that deficiencies in wound contraction in depleted animals are caused by morphological and functional changes in the granulation tissue. These deficiencies are promptly corrected by protein repletion.

The effects of protein malnutrition on wound contraction: an experimental study.

The effects of protein malnutrition on wound contraction experimentally produced in Wistar rats were studied. The wounds were photographed on the first, fourth, eighth, eleventh, fifteenth, eighteenth, and twenty-second days. From dressings made from the projection of transparencies the contracted wounds were measured with a planimeter. Open wounds contracted more slowly in the malnourished group. Matching these observations with histopathological findings based on serial observations in these same animals, the differences between the contraction of open wounds in poorly nourished animals and in the control group seem to be associated with delay in the formation and the poor quality of granulation tissue in the malnourished.

[Importance of schedule in medical graduation: the example of Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo (FMUSP)].

Results of educational research which were realized in 1996 are presented. The effective use of available schedule in each discipline of medical curriculum in FMUSP was registered by previously prepared students. In global analysis 13.9% of available hours were not utilized. Research results were compared with those ones registered in Curricular Evaluation Program (PAC); final figures revealed that better utilization in available schedule is correlated with better assessment in PAC model.

[Medical schools in Brazil].

In the 1970-1980 period there was a considerable increase in the number of institutions of higher education in Brazil which are located mostly in the Southeast region of the country. The distribution of medical schools is not correlated with the distribution of population. In 59 out of 76 medical schools the internship has a duration of two semesters, in five schools three, and in 12 schools four semesters. The medical residence programs are, with 68% of 9,644 total vacancies, considerably concentrated in the Southeast region.
