RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreatic glandular parenchyma that causes injury with or without the destruction of pancreatic acini. Clinical and experimental evidence suggest that certain systemic proinflammatory mediators may be responsible for initiating the fundamental mechanisms involved in microglial reactivity. Here, we investigated the possible repercussions of acute pancreatitis (AP) on the production of inflammatory mediators in the brain parenchyma focusing on microglial activation in the hippocampus. METHODS: The acute pancreatic injury in rats was induced by a pancreas ligation surgical procedure (PLSP) on the splenic lobe, which corresponds to approximately 10% of total mass of the pancreas. Blood samples were collected via intracardiac puncture for the measurement of serum amylase. After euthanasia, frozen or paraffin-embedded brains and pancreas were analyzed using qRT-PCR or immunohistochemistry, respectively. RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry assays showed a large number of Iba1 and PU.1-positive cells in the CA1, CA3, and dentate gyrus (DG) regions of the hippocampus of the PLSP group. TNF-α mRNA expression was significantly higher in the brain from PLSP group. NLRP3 inflammasome expression was found to be significantly increased in the pancreas and brain of rats of the PLSP group. High levels of BNDF mRNA were found in the rat brain of PLSP group. In contrast, NGF mRNA levels were significantly higher in the control group versus PLSP group. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that AP has the potential to induce morphological changes in microglia consistent with an activated phenotype.

BACKGROUND: Currently, surgical resection represents the only curative treatment for pancreatic cancer (PC), however, the majority of tumors are no longer resectable by the time of diagnosis. The aim of this study was to describe time trends and distribution of pancreaticoduodenectomies (PDs) performed for treating PC in Brazil in recent years. METHODS: Data were retrospectively obtained from Brazilian Health Public System (namely DATASUS) regarding hospitalizations for PC and PD in Brazil from January 2008 to December 2015. PC and PD rates and their mortalities were estimated from DATASUS hospitalizations and analyzed for age, gender and demographic characteristics. RESULTS: A total of 2364 PDs were retrieved. Albeit PC incidence more than doubled, the number of PDs increased only 37%. Most PDs were performed in men (52.2%) and patients between 50 and 69 years old (59.5%). Patients not surgically treated and those 70 years or older had the highest in-hospital mortality rates. The most developed regions (Southeast and South) as well as large metropolitan integrated municipalities registered 76.2% and 54.8% of the procedures, respectively. LMIM PD mortality fluctuated, ranging from 13.6% in 2008 to 11.8% in 2015. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests a trend towards regionalization and volume-outcome relationships for PD due to PC, as large metropolitan integrated municipalities registered most of the PDs and more stable mortality rates. The substantial differences between PD and PC increasing rates reveals a limiting step on the health system resoluteness. Reduction in the number of hospital beds and late access to hospitalization, despite improvement in diagnostic methods, could at least in part explain these findings.

BACKGROUND: The von Hippel-Lindau disease is a highly penetrant autosomal dominant syndrome characterized by tumor predisposition in different organs. AIM: This study aimed to describe a case of a pancreatoduodenectomy for a 30-year-old male patient with von Hippel-Lindau disease. METHODS: We present a case study and the literature review aiming at the state-of-the-art management of a patient with pheochromocytoma, capillary hemangioblastoma in the peripheral retina, and two neuroendocrine tumors in the pancreas. RESULTS: A larger pancreatic lesion was located in the uncinate process, measuring 31 mm. The smaller lesion was located in the proximal pancreas and was detected only on the positron emission tomography-computed tomography scan with DOTATOC-68Ga. Genetic investigation revealed a mutation in the locus NM_000551.3 c.482G>A (p.Arg161Gln) of the Von Hippel-Lindau Human Suppressor gene. The uncinate process tumor was larger than 30 mm and the patient had a mutation on exon 3; therefore, we indicated a pancreatoduodenectomy involving the proximal pancreas to resect both tumors en bloc. During the postoperative period, the patient presented a peripancreatic fluid collection, which was treated as a grade B pancreatic fistula with clinical resolution of the complication. On postoperative day 21, he was discharged home. CONCLUSION: The management of patients with von Hippel-Lindau disease and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors is complex and must be centered on tertiary institutions with a large volume of pancreatic surgery. Although the current literature assists in decision-making in most situations, each step of the treatment requires analysis and discussion between different medical specialties, including surgeons, clinicians, radiologists, and anesthesiologists.

INTRODUCTION: several pancreatectomy techniques in rats have been described and utilized for research concerning the pancreas endocrine and exocrine functions. However, we did not find a description of any kind of laparoscopic pancreatectomy in rats in the consulted databases. The objective of this study is to describe a laparoscopic splenic lobe pancreatectomy in rats. METHODS: ten Wistars rats weighting more then 300 g were operated for standardizing the laparoscopic pancreatosplenectomy technique, aided by previous descriptions of laparoscopic splenectomy and open pancreatectomy in rats. Adjustments have been progressively adopted for technical refinement. RESULTS: In five animals a low-cost rat laparoscopic set was used. In other five animals we used a standard laparoscopic set. Three rats died early due to different causes: transection of the gastroesophageal junction, hemorrhagic shock and inadvertent colonic injury. The postoperative period of the other seven rats was uneventful until the seventh postoperative day. DISCUSSION: laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy in rats is feasible and safe, even with a low-cost set, in which the results were alike the standard laparoscopic set.

BACKGROUND: Several factors influence ischemic/reperfusion injury in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT). Per-operative period is full of intense changes in systemic parameters related to pancreatic reperfusion (PR). This work aims to study these changes evaluating fluid reposition, need of vasopressors and other related factors. MATERIAL/METHODS: Sixteen SPKT enduring patients mean age 32.4+/-4.76 had metabolic, electrolyte and hemodynamic data evaluated and compared at three times. Arterial blood gases, glucose, hematocrit; Na, K; MAP, HR and PAP were monitored after skin incision (T1), before and after PR (T2-T3). Fluid reposition, vasopressors, endocrine graft recovery and other related factors as donors, grafts, surgery team and receptors were also considered. RESULTS: Glucose, PaO2, PaCO2 and electrolytes didn't vary along the times. From T1v.T2 there was significant metabolic acidosis; T2v.T3 identified tachycardia and pulmonary hypertension; T1v.T3 confirmed metabolic acidosis, hemodilution and arterial hypotension. Use of crystalloids (8500+/-2909.75 mL), colloids (647.05+/-492.59 mL), human albumin (8.57+/-2.44 U), fresh frozen plasma (1.06+/-1.91 U), platelets (1.86+/-4.16 U) and red packed cells (5.75+/-3.25 U), needs of noradrenalin and dobutamin: 37,5% and 6,25%. Endocrine graft recovery median was 4.15 h. Related factors to donor's: 25.43+/-8.14 years, BMI 23.24+/-1.66, serum creatinine 1.1+/-0.47mg/dl, hemodynamically stable and trauma as cause of 50% donors brain death; graft storage: cold ischemia time (CIT) median of 12.5 h; surgery team: warm ischemia time (WIT) median of 60min; receptors: ASA4, type 1 diabetes mellitus and end stage renal disease medias of 18.87+/-5.64 and 2+/-1.3 years. CONCLUSIONS: Our experience confirmed the intense instability related in literature caused by PR in SPKT.

PURPOSE: To evaluate a novel and adapted low-cost set model for laparoscopic surgery in rats. METHODS: Nine Wistar rats underwent two different laparoscopic procedures, splenectomy (n=3) and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (n = 6), after assembling a low-cost set replacing the conventional one (monitor, micro camera, image processor, light source, laparoscope and insufflator). The new set included an Android Tablet 10.5 ", a 5mm USB Endoscope and semiautomatic sphygmomanometer monitor. RESULTS: The same surgeon performed the laparoscopic procedures. Total surgical time ranged from 36 to 60 minutes with a mean of 45.8 minutes. Three rats died during the distal pancreatic and splenectomy procedure (33.3%), due to respiratory failure (n = 1), uncontrolled abdominal hemorrhage (n=1) and iatrogenic gastric perforation (n = 1). We followed the other six rats (66.6%) for seven days with no further evidence of complications. CONCLUSIONS: The laparoscopic partial pancreatectomy and splenectomy can be performed with the novel low-cost set assembled in the present experimental study. Both specific training and skills development are required to validate more advanced laparoscopic procedures and achieve a desirable outcome.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the most frequent surgical techniques of high-risk colorectal anastomoses in rats. METHODS: Wistar rats were enrolled in three different models comprising inflammatory (TNBS enema), vascular (portal vein occlusion) or obstructive (a non-ischemic constricting ring) mechanisms associated with colonic anastomosis that had accomplished after these former lesions. Histological analyses (Hematoxylin and eosin and Picrosirius red) were performed. RESULTS: All anastomoses techniques were associated with risk factors and had complications, mainly anastomotic leakage. In Study 1, the use of a pharmacological agent, trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) mimicked an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease with 50% of anastomosis leakage, the higher percentage among all models tested. In Study 2, after portal ischemia followed by reperfusion it was observed a dense neutrophil infiltrate in the midst of necrotic tissue and fibrin at the anastomotic site and 5 days after the anastomosis, no collagen was produced. In Study 3, 5 days after the mechanical obstruction some denuded areas of epithelium with marked oedema of mucosa and submucosa were seen, at the anastomotic site and anastomosis group showed some reduction of collagen density when compared with Control/Sham group. CONCLUSION: All the experimental surgical techniques tested in rats were associated with high-risk colorectal anastomoses and were useful to study colonic anastomotic healing and intestinal leakage.

RESUMO RACIONAL: A doença de von Hippel Lindau é uma síndrome autossômica dominante que se caracteriza por maior incidência de tumores em diferentes órgãos. OBJETIVO: Descrever um caso de pancreatoduodenectomia em paciente do sexo masculino de 30 anos com von Hippel Lindau. MÉTODO: Apresentamos o caso e a revisão da literatura realizada para otimizar o manejo do paciente, que apresentava feocromocitoma, hemangioblastoma capilar na retina periférica e dois tumores neuroendócrinos no pâncreas. RESULTADOS: O maior tumor pancreático localizava-se no processo uncinado medindo 31 mm. A lesão menor estava localizada no corpo proximal do pâncreas e foi detectada apenas na tomografia computadorizada por emissão de pósitrons com DOTATOC-68Ga. A investigação genética revelou uma mutação no locus NM_000551.3 c.482G>A (p.Arg161Gln) do gene supressor humano de Von Hippel-Lindau. O tumor no processo era maior que 30mm e o paciente apresentava mutação no exon 3. Indicamos pancreatoduodenectomia envolvendo o corpo proximal do pâncreas para ressecar em bloco ambos os tumores. No pós-operatório o paciente apresentou coleção líquida peripancreática que foi tratada como fístula pancreática grau B, com resolução clínica da complicação. Ele recebeu alta hospitalar no vigésimo primeiro dia pós-operatório. CONCLUSÕES: o manejo de pacientes com doença de von Hippel Lindau e tumores neuroendócrinos pancreáticos é complexo e deve ser centrado em instituições terciárias com grande volume de cirurgia pancreática. Embora a literatura atual auxilie na tomada de decisão na maioria das situações, cada etapa do tratamento requer análise e discussão entre diferentes especialidades médicas, incluindo cirurgiões, clínicos, radiologistas e anestesiologistas.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE:: To critically analyze and standardize the rat pancreatectomy nomenclature variants. METHODS:: It was performed a review of indexed manuscripts in PUBMED from 01/01/1945 to 31/12/2015 with the combined keywords "rat pancreatectomy" and "rat pancreas resection". The following parameters was considered: A. Frequency of publications; B. Purpose of the pancreatectomy in each article; C. Bibliographic references; D. Nomenclature of techniques according to the pancreatic parenchyma resection percentage. RESULTS:: Among the 468, the main objectives were to surgically induce diabetes and to study the genes regulations and expressions. Five rat pancreatectomy technique references received 15 or more citations. Twenty different terminologies were identified for the pancreas resection: according to the resected parenchyma percentage (30 to 95%); to the procedure type (total, subtotal and partial); or based on the selected anatomical region (distal, longitudinal and segmental). A nomenclature systematization was gathered by cross-checking information between the main surgical techniques, the anatomic parameters descriptions and the resected parenchyma percentages. CONCLUSION:: The subtotal pancreatectomy nomenclature for parenchymal resection between 80 and 95% establishes a surgical parameter that also defines the total and partial pancreatectomy limits and standardizes these surgical procedures in rats.

OBJETIVO: Comparar a lesão hepatocelular ocasionada pelo emprego do pré-condicionamento isquêmico e de duas outras modalidades de clampeamento tríade portal: clampeamento contínuo e intermitente. MÉTODO: Quarenta ratos Wistar foram divididos em quatro grupos de 10 animais cada. No Grupo Sham nenhuma espécie de clampeamento foi adotada. Nos outros três, provocamos isquemia de quarenta minutos por meio do clampeamento do pedículo hepático. No Grupo I esta isquemia foi contínua. No Grupo II, também contínua, mas precedida de cinco minutos de isquemia e 10 minutos de reperfusão (précondicionamento isquêmico). No Grupo III foi realizada isquemia intermitente em ciclos de 10 min de isquemia e cinco minutos de reperfusão. Para avaliar a lesão hepatocelular foi adotada a dosagem de transaminase glutâmico oxalacética (TGO), glutâmico pirúvica (TGP) e lactato desidrogenase (LDH), aferidas no início e no final dos procedimentos. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença estatística nos valores basais das enzimas estudadas, demonstrando uniformidade nos grupos. Os quatro grupos apresentaram variação significativa de todas as enzimas entre os dois momentos de coleta, porém de forma diferenciada. A variação no Grupo Sham foi menor que a do grupo II. Este foi semelhante ao grupo III e em todos a elevação foi significativamente menor que no grupo I (D do Sham CONCLUSÕES: Em ratos Wistar o clampeamento contínuo do pedículo hepático, precedido de um ciclo de cinco minutos de isquemia e 10 minutos de reperfusão (pré-condicionamento isquêmico) provoca menor lesão hepática do que o clampeamento contínuo e apresenta resultados comparáveis aos obtidos através da utilização do clampeamento intermitente, em fígados normais submetidos a um período de isquemia hepática de 40 minutos e um tempo total de cirurgia de 60 minutos.
BACKGROUND: To compare the hepatocyte injury due to the employment of previous ischemic conditioning and two other commonly used maneuvers for clamping the portal triad : continuous clamping and intermittent clamping. METHODS: 40 Wistar rats were divided in 4 groups .On the SHAM group, no clamping was performed. On the other 3 groups , a 40 minutes ischemia was induced by clamping the portal triad. On the Group I we performed a continuous ischemia . On the Group II , before the continuous clamping , a 5 minutes ischemia and a 10 minutes reperfusion was performed (i.e. previous ischemic conditioning).On Group III an intermittent clamping was performed in a 10 minutes ischemia and 5 minutes reperfusion cycle. In order to assess the hepatocyte injury, the Oxalacetic transaminase (SGOT), the pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) , as well the lactic desidrogenase (LDH) were titled before and after the procedures. RESULTS: There was no difference between the values of the starting samples on all the groups , revealing the uniformity of them. The four groups presented significant differences in the starting and ending samples. The odds of SHAM group were lesser significant then in the Group II , that was similar to the group III and in all the groups the rising was significant lower then the Group I (Ä SHAM < Ä Group II = Ä Group III < Ä Group I). CONCLUSION: On Wistar rats , the continuous clamping after the previous ischemic conditioning , induced a minor hepatocyte injury in comparison to the continuous clamping alone and is similar to the intermittent clamping in normal livers, submitted to 40 minutes of hepatic clamping in a whole 60 minutes procedure.
RESUMEN
OBJETIVO: Correlacionar a avaliação clínico-laboratorial inicial simplificada com a gravidade da pancreatite aguda e a presença de necrose. MÉTODO: Foi realizado um estudo retrospectivo dos pacientes com diagnóstico final de PA internados no Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho - UFRJ entre janeiro de 1990 e agosto de 2002. Foi considerado apenas o primeiro episódio de cada paciente. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos a análise estatística. Foram estudados 164 pacientes onde a idade média foi de 43,7 anos. RESULTADOS: A etiologia biliar foi a mais freqüente com 43,9 por cento dos casos. A incidência de necrose foi de 21,3 por cento e a mortalidade global de 23,2 por cento. Observamos que a ausência de taquicardia na admissão estava associada à forma branda da doença, e que os níveis plasmáticos de uréia e creatinina elevados na admissão estão associados à forma grave da doença, e a hiperglicemia (121mg/dl) à necrose pancreática. CONCLUSÕES: A avaliação inicial simplificada ainda tem espaço, embora que limitado, no acompanhamento do paciente com PA.
BACKGROUND: Our goal was to study if early and simplified clinical and laboratorial evaluation are associated to severity and necrosis in acute panceatitis (AP). METHODS: One hundred and sixty four patients, hospitalized at the Clementino Fraga Filho University Hospital between January 1990 and August 2002 with a AP final diagnosis, were included in this study. The study was retrospective and included only the first episode of each patient. From the charts we obtained clinical, laboratorial, imaging exams, operations and death data. From these data we established the severity of each case. Statistical analysis used the Variance Analysis test of Kruskal-Wallis, completed by the Multiple Comparisons test if the diference was significant. Statistic significance was defined as p< 0,05. RESULTS: Biliar etiology was the most common: 43,9 percent of cases, necrosis incidence was 21,3 percent and overall mortality was 23,2 percent. We observed that normal cardiac frequency at admission was associated to mild AP, as high urea and creatinine plasmatic levels at admission to severe AP, and hyperglycemia (121 mg/dl) to pancreatic necrosis. CONCLUSION: We concluded that early and simplified clinical and laboratorial evaluation at admission had a limited but clear role in AP prognosis.

OBJETIVO: Analisar a aplicabilidade da anestesia local da região inguinal no tratamento da hérnia inguinal. MÉTODO: Foram estudados os dados de 1560 pacientes submetidos ao tratamento operatório para cura de hérnia inguinal, entre maio de 1996 e dezembro de 2003, pela técnica de Lichtenstein, sob anestesia local da região inguinal associada à sedação. Foram analisados so seguintes dados: idade,sexo,índice de massa corporal, número de recidivas, as intercorrências pré e pós-operatórias, tempo de permanência hospitalar. Os tipos de hérnia foram classificados segundo Nyhus. RESULTADOS: Todas as operações foram concluídas sob a anestesia local e sedação não sendo necessário nenhuma complementação. As complicações pós-operatórias ocorreram em 7,16 por cento dos pacientes, nenhum deles necessitou de reinternação. CONCLUSÕES: A anestesia loco-regional da região inguinal na totalidade dos casos produziu conforto para os pacientes e boas condições de operabilidade para os cirurgiões.
BACKGROUND: This study aimed at showing the feasibility of local-regional anesthesia in inguinal hernia repair using the technique of Lichtenstein. METHODS: 1560 patients were operated between May 1996 and December 2003. They were submitted to 1560 surgeries by means of the Lichtenstein technique, operated under local-regional anesthesia in inguinal region. Age, gender, Nyhus classification, and body mass index were analyzed. RESULTS: The post-operative complications had occurred in 7,16 percent of the patients. Hospitalization average were 6:00 hours. CONCLUSION: We concluded that local-regional anesthesia in the inguinal region provides the same level of comfort for patients as well as for surgeons with the advantage of imposing shorter hospital stay.
RESUMEN
A preservaçäo de enxertos vasculares é essencial no transplante pancreático. Formulamos experimentalmente situaçäo semelhante à encontrada na prática clínica, onde alguns vasos só säo imersos em soluçäo conservante uma hora após a parada circulatória. Foram utilizados de aorta torácica de ratos Wistar, retirados por técnica atraumática para análise funcional em quatro grupos distintos. A análise funcional foi realizada através da técnica de contraçäo isométrica, investigando cinco parâmetros distintos: tensäo basal; contraçäo vascular mesiada por soluçäo despolarizante (KCI 100mM); contraçäo vascular induzida por noradrenalina (10ð8 a 10ðM; relaxamento vascular endotélio-dependente induzido por acetilcolina (10ð8 a 10ðM) e relaxamento vascular endotélio-independente induzido por nitroprussiato de sódio (10ð8 a 10ðM). No grupo 'controle' os segmentos foram analisados imediatamente. No grupo 'preservaçäo Wisconsin' os segmentos foram analisados após 24 horas de preservaçäo sendo detectados aumento da tensäo basal e diminuiçäo da eficácia da acetilcolina em induzir relaxamento endotélio-dependente. No grupo 'parada circulatória' os segmentos foram analisados 1 hora após induçäo de parada circulatória. Foram observados diminuiçäo da contraçäo vascular em resposta ao KC1 100mM, do relaxamento endotélio-dependente à acetilcolina, e aumento da eficácia constrictora da noradrenalina. No grupo 'parada e preservaçäo'os segmentos foram retirados após 1 hora de parada cardíaca e conservados por 24 horas em soluçäo de Wisconsin. Foram observados aumento da tensäo basal, diminuiçäo da contraçäo em resposta ao KCI 100mM e diminuiçäo da eficácia vasodilatadora do nitroprusiato de sódio. Estes resultados indicam padrões distintos de resposta funcional nos quatro grupos sugerindo que a parada circulatória está associada à piora do padräo de preservaçäo vascular caracterizada por reduçäo dos componentes de relaxamento endotelial e aumento da resposta contrátil ao vasoconstritor endógeno noradrenalina. A preservaçäo em soluçäo de Wisconsin após 1 hora de parada circulatória näo altera significativamente este padräo
