Immediate postoperative evaluation of enteric anastomosis after the use of meloxicam in rats

PURPOSE: To compare ileal anastomoses in the immediate postoperative healing period after meloxicam use. METHODS: Forty two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups of 21, COX and control group. To COX meloxicam in combination with morphine was given in 3 days period. Control group received only morphine during the same period. Each group was divided into three sub-groups of 7, which were euthanized at 5, 10, and 21 days postoperatively. Comparison was based in histological evaluation of collagen type I and III using sirius red, immunohistochemical through vascular endothelial growth factor and matrix metalloproteinase-9. RESULTS: Healing process in scheduled periods did not show significant differences (p>0.05) between the COX and control groups during any of the periods. CONCLUSION: The use of meloxicam in the postoperative period following ileal anastomosis did not affect healing.

Comparison of polyurethane with cyanoacrylate in hemostasis of vascular injury in guinea pigs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the behavior of castor oil-derived polyurethane as a hemostatic agent and tissue response after abdominal aortic injury and to compare it with 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate. METHODS: Twenty-four Guinea Pigs were randomly divided into three groups of eight animals (I, II, and III). The infrarenal abdominal aorta was dissected, clamped proximally and distally to the vascular puncture site. In group I (control), hemostasis was achieved with digital pressure; in group II (polyurethane) castor oil-derived polyurethane was applied, and in group III (cyanoacrylate), 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate was used. Group II was subdivided into IIA and IIB according to the time of preparation of the hemostatic agent. RESULTS: Mean blood loss in groups IIA, IIB and III was 0.002 grams (g), 0.008 g, and 0.170 g, with standard deviation of 0.005 g, 0.005 g, and 0.424 g, respectively (P=0.069). The drying time for cyanoacrylate averaged 81.5 seconds (s) (standard deviation: 51.5 seconds) and 126.1 s (standard deviation: 23.0 s) for polyurethane B (P=0.046). However, there was a trend (P=0.069) for cyanoacrylate to dry more slowly than polyurethane A (mean: 40.5 s; SD: 8.6 s). Furthermore, polyurethane A had a shorter drying time than polyurethane B (P=0.003), mean IIA of 40.5 s (standard deviation: 8.6 s). In group III, 100% of the animals had mild/severe fibrosis, while in group II only 12.5% showed this degree of fibrosis (P=0.001). CONCLUSION: Polyurethane derived from castor oil showed similar hemostatic behavior to octyl-2-cyanoacrylate. There was less perivascular tissue response with polyurethane when compared with cyanoacrylate.

Avaliar a estrutura microscópica e os aspectos microbiológicos de enxertos aórticos após conservação em Glicerol 98% e glicerina 0,2%. Estudo in-vitro de caráter intervencionista e randomizado com 32 enxertos de aorta de cobaias já sacrificadas. Estes enxertos foram divididos aleatoriamente em 02 grupos, GLU (Glutaraldeído 0,2%) e GLI (Glicerol 98%) de 16 segmentos vasculares cada e mantidos em conservação por 18 meses em temperatura ambiente. Para análise microbiológica foi utilizado coloração de Gram e cultura em ágar-sangue e a histológica a coloração de hematoxilina-eosina. Os resultados foram expressos por meio de frequências e percentuais. Tanto o glicerol, quanto o glutaraldeído, penetraram todas as camadas vasculares em 100% dos enxertos, desde o endotélio à túnica adventícia. As características celulares mantiveram-se nos 32 segmentos aórticos, com ausência de citólise ou autólise. Apenas 2 (6,25%) dos enxertos do grupo glutaraldeído apresentaram contaminação bacteriana. A solução de glutaraldeído 0,2% pode ser sugerida como um eficaz conservante para biopróteses, tanto quanto a já consagrada glicerina a 98%

OBJETIVO: Determinar se a reação tecidual do implante retroperitoneal do polímero de óleo de mamona (Pm) é significativa ou não por meio de análise histopatológica, tendo como controle o implante de titânio (Ti). MÉTODOS: Estudo experimental, intervencionista e randomizado com 32 cobaias. Os animais foram divididos em quatro grupos iguais e eutanasiados com 7, 20, 30 e 40 dias após o ato cirúrgico. Foram confeccionadas lâminas em hematoxilina-eosina e em tricrômio de Masson. Na comparação dos tipos de material em relação a variáveis quantitativas, foi considerado o teste não-paramétrico de Wilcoxon. Em relação a essas variáveis, os grupos definidos pelo dia do sacrifício foram comparados usando-se o teste não-paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis. Os resultados obtidos no estudo da fibrose foram expressos por frequências e percentuais. Para a comparação entre os grupos definidos pelo dia do sacrifício, em relação a variáveis qualitativas dicotômicas da fibrose, foi considerado o teste exato de Fisher. Para avaliar a diferença entre os materiais titânio e polímero em cada grupo, ainda em se tratando da fibrose, foi considerado o teste binomial. Valores de P<0,05 indicaram significância estatística. RESULTADOS: A análise das variáveis quantitativas não demonstrou diferença nas reações teciduais entre os materiais (P>0,05). A análise da variável qualitativa também não demonstrou diferença entre as reações teciduais dos materiais (P>0,05). CONCLUSÃO: Não foi encontrada significância estatística entre a reação tecidual do Pm e do Ti.
