ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: We analyze the effects of graduated compression stoking (GCS) on walking capacity and oxygen saturation in intermittent claudication (IC) patients. METHODS: Eighteen patients with IC performed the 6-minute walking test in 2 conditions in random order: GCS or placebo sock. Onset claudication distance and total walking distance were obtained. The calf muscle oxygen saturation was continuously monitored before, during, and after 6-minute walk test. Comparisons of the walking capacity and StO2 parameters between GCS and placebo conditions were analyzed by Wilcoxon rank-sum test. RESULTS: The onset claudication distance (GCS: 120 ± 99 meters vs. placebo: 150 ± 126 meters; P = 0.798) and total walking distance (GCS: 330 ± 108 meters vs. placebo: 324 ± 60 meters; P = 0.130) were similar between conditions. There were no differences in StO2 parameters between conditions (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: GCS does not decrease walking performance and calf muscle oxygenation saturation during 6-minute walk test in patients with IC.

Introdução: Perdas de tecido mesenquimal podem acarretar grandes áreas cruentas, cujos tratamentos nem sempre são isentos de morbidade. A participação de células mesenquimais indiferenciadas, no processo de cura de feridas, tem sido amplamente estudada. Objetivo: comparar dois métodos de obtenção de células mesenquimais indiferenciadas de tecido adiposo...
Introduction: Mesenchymal tissue loose can lead to large wounds, which treatments are not completely free of morbidity. The adipose tissue derived stem cell participation in wound healing process has been widely studied. Objective: The aim of the study is to compare two different methods of harvesting adipose tissue derived stem cell.
