Autotransplantation of spleen tissue in children with mansonic schistosomiasis who underwent splenectomy: Evaluation of splenic residual functions

Abstract: Autotransplantation of spleen tissue is an attempt for maintenance of splenic functions when splenectomy is indicated in children. It minimizes the risks of overwhelming postsplenectomy infection and it has been done in children with severe portal hypertension due to hepatosplenic mansonic schistosomiasis that underwent splenectomy. The purposes of this investigation were to study the morphology of the residual splenic tissue; to evaluate the residual filtration function of this splenosis; and to assess the im… Show more

“…Realizou-se contagem de linfócitos T, B, células CD4 + e CD8 + através de anticorpos monoclonais e dosagem das imunoglobulinas A, M, G e frações C3 e C4 do sistema complemento por imunodifusão radial. the majority of the sick people modulate this reply through a variety of immunological down regulating mechanisms (5,24,29) . It is controversy whether the spleen of the patient with portal hypertension should be preserved: some authors are favorable and others had created methods to preserve de spleen tissue, such as subtotal splenectomy and splenic auto transplantation.…”

“…So that, to minimize the consequences of spleen absence, the use of subtotal splenectomy and spleen autotransplantation was stimulated (4,5,6,15,18,22,23,25,31,34,35,41,45) .…”

“…O mesmo fato foi observado para a imunoglobulina A, sem entretanto, obtermos valores significativos. Existem controvérsias na literatura no que se refere aos níveis séricos de imunoglobulinas em pacientes esplenectomizados [24][25][26][27] . As diferenças observadas nas dosagens dos linfócitos B podem ter sido provocadas pela grande variação em seus valores, fato que pode ter causado tendência de diferença.…”

“…Corroborando com o presente estudo, em estudo anterior, Brandt e cols 4 analisando a atividade microbicida de monócitos tratados com acetato miristato de forbol (PMA) ou com PMA e tuftsina, avaliaram a liberação do radical superóxido, em pacientes esplenectomizados com auto-implante esplênico e observaram que nestes pacientes a atividade microbicida foi apenas satisfatória na fase inicial. As células poderiam não ter capacidade de produzir superóxido em quantidade crescente e suficiente para uma resposta do hospedeiro completa, de destruição dos microorganismos.…”
