Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy on oxidative stress and histological aspects of knee osteoarthritis (OA) induced by sodium monoiodoacetate in Wistar rats. Background: OA is a chronic degenerative disease. In addition to the inflammatory role, other factors, such as redox balance, appear to contribute to changes in the articular cartilage, the main articular structure affected. PBM therapy using light-emitting diode (LED) has been proposed to treat the disease by favoring anti-inflammatory effects and modulating markers of oxidative stress, acting on the degenerative process of cartilage. Methods: Twenty-seven male rats were separated into three groups: control (CG), OA (OAG), and LED treatment (LEDG). In the LED group, PBM (LED 630 nm, 300 mW, 9 J/cm2, 0.3 W/cm2, 30 sec) was applied, starting 24 h after induction, three times per week, for 8 weeks. Cartilage thickness, number of chondrocytes, enzymatic antioxidant defenses [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT)], oxidative damage [thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)], and nonenzymatic defense (ferric reducing antioxidant power) were analyzed. Results: The LEDG had higher average cartilage thickness compared with the OAG and had similar thickness to the CG. Also, the number of chondrocytes was similar to the CG. In the oxidative stress analysis, the LEDG presented antioxidant enzymatic activity (SOD and CAT) higher than the CG, and presented concentration of TBARS lower than the CG and OAG groups. Conclusions: PBM therapy was effective in recovering oxidative stress and preserving the articular cartilage aspects in a knee OA animal model.

Abstract
A sprained ankle is a common musculoskeletal sports injury and it is often treated by immobilization of the joint. Despite the beneficial effects of this therapeutic measure, the high prevalence of residual symptoms affects the quality of life, and remobilization of the joint can reverse this situation. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of immobilization and remobilization on the ankle joint of Wistar rats. Eighteen male rats had their right hindlimb immobilized for 15 days, and were divided into the following groups: G1, immobilized; G2, remobilized freely for 14 days; and G3, remobilized by swimming and jumping in water for 14 days, performed on alternate days, with progression of time and a series of exercises. The contralateral limb was the control. After the experimental period, the ankle joints were processed for microscopic analysis. Histomorphometry did not show any significant differences between the control and immobilized/remobilized groups and members, in terms of number of chondrocytes and thickness of the articular cartilage of the tibia and talus. Morphological analysis of animals from G1 showed significant degenerative lesions in the talus, such as exposure of the subchondral bone, flocculation, and cracks between the anterior and mid-regions of the articular cartilage and the synovial membrane. Remobilization by therapeutic exercise in water led to recovery in the articular cartilage and synovial membrane of the ankle joint when compared with free remobilization, and it was shown to be an effective therapeutic measure in the recovery of the ankle joint.
