The use of meshes for treatment of hernias continues to draw attention of surgeons and the industry in the search of an ideal prosthesis. The purpose of this work is to use meshes manufactured from bacterial cellulose, evaluate their organic tissue interaction and compare with an expanded polytetrafluorethylene (ePTFE's) prosthesis used to repair acute defect of muscle aponeurotic induced in rats. Forty-five male Wistar rats were classified using the following criteria: (1) surgical repair of acute muscle aponeurotic defect with perforated bacterial cellulose film (PBC; n = 18); (2) compact bacterial cellulose film (CBC; n = 12) and (3) ePTFE; (n = 15). After postoperative period, rectangles (2 × 3 cm) including prosthesis, muscles and peritoneum were collected for biomechanical, histological and stereological analysis. In all cases, the maximum acceptable error probability for rejecting the null hypothesis was 5 %. Between PBC and CBC samples, the variables of strain (P = 0.011) and elasticity (P = 0.035) were statistically different. The same was found between CBC and ePTFE (elasticity, P = 0.000; strain, P = 0.009). PBC differed from CBC for giant cells (P = 0.001) and new blood vessels (P = 0.000). In conclusion, there was biological integration and biomechanical elasticity of PBC; therefore, we think this option should be considered as a new alternative biomaterial for use as a bio prosthesis.
-Background -Surgical options for morbid obesity are diverse, and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, initially described by Fobi has gained popularity. Knowledge about the physiology of the bypassed stomach is limited because this newly produced segment of the stomach is inaccessible to endoscopic or contrast radiological studies. Aim -To evaluate the myoelectric activity of the bypassed stomach and its reply to the feeding. Methods -An experimental protocol was conducted to evaluate postoperative gastric bypassed motility in dogs submitted to the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure. Two groups of five animals were studied on postoperative fasting and after a standard meal, recording electrical response and control activity. Both control and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operated study group had a pair of electrodes placed on three points of the remaining stomach: fundus, body and antrum. Data registration was performed after complete ileus resolution, and analysed with DATA Q Inst. series 200. Results -The results achieved on the conditions of this study suggest that: 1. the remaining stomach maintain the same pattern of motility; 2. there is a reduced fasting electromyography activity following the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure; 3. significantly reduced fasting electric control activity when compared both groups, and a markedly reduced fasting response electric activity and; 4. the electric response to the feeding kept the same standard of the stomach, however in a statistically reduced way. Conclusion -The electrical activity of the bypassed stomach of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure kept the same pattern but in a statistically reduced number of contraction.
groups. MAP; Significant differences were found between all the groups studied. CVP: No significant difference was found between the groups. Conclusion: Non-replacement and euvolemic resuscitation maintained a satisfactory hemodynamic pattern in controlled severe hemorrhagic shock in swine. The euvolemic replacement strategies exceeded the limit values of MAP for rebleeding.
Os objetivos do presente estudo foram avaliar os efeitos da autonomização cirúrgica sobre a extensão da área viável e da vascularização de retalhos cutâneos pré-fabricados com área média de 48,2cm² na parede abdominal de ratos. Os retalhos de pele eram pré-fabricados por implante de um pedículo femoral ligado distalmente e implantado diretamente na camada subdérmica. A pele da parede abdominal de 25 ratos Wistar foi comparada em três grupos de retalhos: grupo A, implante vascular sem autonomização e grupos B e C, implante vascular com autonomização no mesmo tempo cirúrgico. Três semanas após, os retalhos dos grupos A e B foram elevados como retalhos em ilha, nutridos pelo pedículo implantado. No grupo C, o pedículo implantado foi seccionado no momento da elevação do retalho. Sete dias após, a extensão das áreas viáveis nos grupos A, B e C foi delimitada e o percentual da área viável, em relação à área total do retalho, calculado por meio do Auto Cad R 14. A densidade vascular em torno do pedículo implantado, nos grupos A e B, foi avaliada por estudo histológico. O valor médio do percentual de área viável dos retalhos de pele foi de 9,6% no grupo onde os retalhos não foram autonomizados, 44,8% no grupo onde os retalhos foram autonomizados e 0,3% no grupo onde o pedículo implantado foi seccionado. Os resultados mostraram que o procedimento de autonomização aumentou significativamente (p< 0,01, teste bicaudal de Mann - Whitney) os percentuais de área viável e não alterou estatisticamente (p = 0,307, teste bicaudal de Mann - Whitney) a densidade vascular em torno do pedículo, três semanas após o mesmo ter sido implantado.
Os principais objetivos dos desvios veno-venosos durante o transplante ortotópico de fígado são: atenuação da estase venosa subdiafragmática, manutenção do retorno satisfatório de sangue ao coração e perfusão tissular eficiente. Investigações sobre PP, PVCIIH, PVC, PAM e PPR, bem como D PP e D PVCIIH foram conduzidas em seis cães, sob anestesia geral, com fígados perfundidos pela Artéria Hepática, submetidos a desvios porta-jugular e cava-jugular passivos durante 2 horas. Estes desvios não foram capazes de evitar estagnação de sangue na VP e VCIIH, acarretando estase e menor retorno sangüíneo ao coração, sugeridos por aumentos significativos de PP e PVCIIH e quedas significantes nos níveis de PVC. Os valores de PAM não apresentaram diferenças significativas em relação ao tempo T0, na maior parte dos tempos avaliados, enquanto que os valores de PPR foram significativamente menores que os verificados no tempo T0, na maioria dos tempos estudados. Tais pressões mantiveram-se, respectivamente, acima de 100 e 50 mm de Hg, atribuindo-se tais resultados, em parte, à vasoconstricção arteriolar generalizada. Incrementos de pressão na VP (D PP) foram significativamente menos elevados que aqueles verificados na VCIIH (D PVCIIH), atribuindo-se tal diferença à complacência esplâncnica. Decréscimos ulteriores dos níveis de PP e PVCIIH sugerem queda do fluxo arterial para os territórios esplâncnico e sistêmico, decorrente de diminuição do retorno sangüíneo ao coração. Determinações de PP, PVCIIH, PVC, PAM e PPR podem constituir meio prático de avaliação hemodinâmica do desvio veno-venoso.
The main purposes of veno-venous bypasses during orthotopic liver transplantation are: attenuation of subdiaphragmatic venous stasis, maintenance of satisfactory venous return to the heart, and efficient tissue perfusion. PVP, IHIVCP, CVP, MAP and RPP, as well as D PVP and D IHIVCP were investigated in six dogs, under general anesthesia, having their livers perfused by hepatic artery, and submitted to passive porto-jugular and cava-jugular shunts during two hours. Such shunts, were not able to obviate stagnation of blood in portal and caval veins, inducing stasis and lesser venous return to the heart, as suggested by increases of PP and PVCIIH and decreases of CVP values. Levels of MAP were not significantly different from those verified at T0, in the majority of studied times, and RPP values were significantly decreased from those at T0, in almost all instances. Such pressures were respectively maintained above 100 and 50 mmHg, and were attributed in part to a widespread arteriolar vasoconstriction. Pressure increments in PV (D PVP) were significantly smaller than those verified in the IHIVC (D IHIVCP), and such difference was attributed to splancnic compliance. Further decreases in PP and IHIVCP levels suggest a lower arterial ...
