Aspectos ultra-estruturais das vilosidades intestinais após o clampeamento do pedículo hepático de ratos

PURPOSE: To study the ultrastructural of rat intestinal villi (ileum) after total hepatic pedicle clumping for different period of time. METHODS: Forty male rats were divided into four groups of ten animals each. The Sham group was not being submitted to ischemia (control). E1, E2 and E3 group were submitted to 10, 20 and 30 minutes of ischemia, respectively. At the end of the experiment fragments of the ileum were taken off and examined by electromicroscope. RESULTS: Leucocyte infiltration, vascular dilation and electrotransparent areas were observed in intestinal villi of lamina propria of E1 and E2 groups. In reference to group E3 desquamation of epithelial layer, desquamation of intestinal villi and signs of apoptosis were observed. Hemorrhagic areas, dilated lymphatics and blood vessels and lots of leucocytes were observed in lamina propria. CONCLUSION: The clumping of hepatic pedicle provokes esplacnic congestion, time dependent, and to the 30 minutes were epithelial cell desquamation, apoptosis signs and hemorrhage.

Aspecto radiológico e macroscópico de matriz óssea mineralizada heteróloga fragmentada e polimetilmetacrilato autoclavados em falha óssea de tíbia de coelho

A segmental defect of 6mm diameter was performed in the medial metaphyseal region of the tibia of 12 rabbits. For the bone defect reconstruction there was implanted a combination of micro and macro fragments of heterologous fragmented cortical bone matrix preserved in glycerin (98%) and polymethylmethacrylate, both autoclaved. Radiological and macroscopic evaluation was performed at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days. Adhesion in relation to time of the micro and macro composites to the recipient bed was observed in 100% of the cases. This showed that this implant is biologically biocompatible, since it promoted bone defects repair, with no signs of infection, migration and/or rejection. In this way, this implant can be classified as one more option of substitute to fill large bone defects.

Avaliação morfológica e por imagem radiográfica da matriz óssea mineralizada heteróloga fragmentada e metilmetacrilato, preservados em glicerina para reparação de falhas ósseas em tíbias de coelhos

The traumas that result in bone fractures, especially comminuted, have high importance in veterinary and human surgical routine. A 6mm of segmental defect was performed at the medial metaphyseal region of the left tibia of 12 rabbits and an association of fragmented heterologue mineralized bone matrix and methylmethacrylate conserved in glycerin (98%) was used as a graft to fill the bone defect. To evaluate the procedure morphological and radiological exams were performed after 30, 60, 90 and 120 days. There was gradual integration of the bone graft in the receptor bed in 100% of the cases showing that the material is biologically compatible as it promotes bone defect reparation without signs of infection, migration and/or rejection and can be considered one more option to be used as a substitute to fill bone defects.

Tomografia computadorizada da matriz óssea mineralizada heteróloga fragmentada e metilmetacrilato na reparação de falhas ósseas segmentares produzidas em tíbia de coelhos

A 6mm segmental defect was performed on the metaphyseal region of the tibia of 12 rabbits and the autoclaved fragmented heterolog cortical bone conserved in glycerin (98%) and methylmethacrylate was used as a bone graft for the reconstruction. The graft was placed in the receptor bed and its integration was evaluated by computed tomography after 30, 60 and 90 days. There was gradual bone graft incorporation in the receptor bed during the time in 100% of the cases. Fragmented cortical bone heterograft and methylmethacrylate was biologically compatible and promotes bone defect reparation without signs of infection, migration and or rejection, featuring a new option of osseous substitute to fill in bone defects.

Biópsia hepática como método diagnóstico para intoxicação por plantas que contém swainsonina

With the aim to investigate the use of hepatic biopsies for the diagnosis of poisoning by swainsonine-containing plants, dry leaves of Ipomoea marcellia containing 0.02% of swainsonine were administered to goats. Group I, with six goats, ingested 4g/kg of dry plant (0.8mg of swainsonina/kg) daily until the observation of the first neurologic signs. Two goats that did not receive the plant were used as control (Group II). Hepatic biopsies with the Menghini needle were performed by the percutaneous technique at day zero and at weekly intervals after the start of the administration of I. marcellia. Biopsy samples were fixed in 10% formaline, processed routinely, and stained by hematoxilin-eosin and by lectins histochemistry. Hepatocellular vacuolization similar to those described in cases of lysosomal storage disease were identified in all goats of Group I from the seven day of plant consumption in the samples satained with hematoxylin-eosin. Using lectin histochemistry, consistent labellings were observed with Concanavalia ensiformis (Con-A) e Triticum vulgaris (WGA). It is concluded that routinely histological evaluation of liver biopsies can be used in the diagnosis of poisoning by swainsonine containing plants, even in goats without clinical signs, and lectin histochemistry which can be used as supplementary diagnostic method.

Aspectos histológicos de fragmentos esplênicos autotransplantados em ratos

The splenic tissue autograft viability (one third of the spleen) associated to parcial splenectomy was studied to verify the evolutive kinetic of its regeneration by macroscopic and histological aspects. Twenty-eight adult male Wistar rats, weighting 300g, were distributed in four experimental groups. Each animal was submitted to parcial splenectomy and one fragment of each spleen was autotransplanted to the greater omentum, for a period of 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. After each period, the autotransplanted splenic tissues were collected and histopathologically analyzed. The results showed regeneration of the splenic capsule, blood vessels, white pulp, and red pulp. After 90 days, the microscopic architecture was similar to the normal spleen.

Aspectos morfológicos, morfométricos e ultraestruturais do baço de ratos após o clampeamento total do pedículo hepático

The macro and microscopic alterations that occurred in the spleen during an ischemia produced by the hepatic pedicle total clamping were studied. Forty male rats were distributed in four groups of 10 animals each. The control group (C) was not submitted to ischemia and the treated groups (E1, E2, and E3) were submitted to the clamping during 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. Spleen fragments were collected and histologically analyzed by the light microscopy (eosin-hematoxilin and ferric ferrocyanide) and by the transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that 10 minutes of hepatic pedicle total clamping was enough produce signs of splenic congestion and 20 and 30 minutes promoted intense red bood cels digestion by the macrophages with the presence of iron granules (hemosiderin) in the splenic parenchyma.
