[PMID: 31896497 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2019.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2019] [Revised: 11/26/2019] [Accepted: 12/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND After colorectal surgery, anastomotic leakage is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. There are many factors affecting anastomotic leakage. It is known that agents such as neostigmine that is used to reverse neuromuscular blockade have certain effects on anastomosis. In our study, in which we planned to test this hypothesis, we aimed to compare the possible effects of different doses of sugammadex and neostigmine on colon anastomosis strength in a colonic resection anastomosis model in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty adult Wistar albino male rats were divided into five groups as control (group C), Sugammadex 16 mg/kg (group SL), sugammadex 96 mg/kg (group SH), neostigmine 0.3 μmol/kg (group NL), and neostigmine 1.5 μmol/kg (group NH). The transverse colons of all rats were resected, and colonic anastomosis was performed. Appropriate drug doses according to the groups were given on the postoperative seventh day, and tissue hydroxyproline (TH) level and anastomotic bursting pressure were measured. RESULTS Anastomotic bursting pressure values were statistically significantly different between the groups (P = 0.001). The bursting pressure in group SH was significantly higher compared with group C, group NL, and group NH. The hydroxyproline values were statistically significantly different between the groups (P = 0.015). According to the post hoc test results, the difference was between group SH and group C (P = 0.007). There were no significant differences between the other groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in terms of intra-abdominal adhesion rates between the groups. CONCLUSIONS In our study, we found that low and high doses of neostigmine had no variable effect on anastomosis, but high dose of sugammadex (96 mg/kg) had an increasing effect on intestinal anastomosis strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of a topical emulsion containing pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) (EcPDTC) in skin oxidative stress and inflammation triggered by ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation (dose of 4.14 J/cm2 ). METHODS Hairless mouse received treatment with 0.5 g of EcPDTC or control emulsion (CTRLE) on the dorsal surface skin 12 h, 6 h and 5 min before and 6 h after the irradiation. Oxidative stress was evaluated by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical (ABTS) scavenging capacity, reduced glutathione quantitation, catalase activity, superoxide anion production and lipid peroxidation products. Inflammation parameters were as follows: skin oedema, myeloperoxidase activity (neutrophil marker), matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity, collagen fibre damage, mast cell and sunburn cell counts, and cytokine production. KEY FINDINGS Topical treatment with EcPDTC protected from UVB-induced skin injury by maintaining the antioxidant capacity levels similar to non-irradiated control group. Furthermore, EcPDTC inhibited UVB irradiation-induced superoxide anion production, lipid peroxidation and reduced skin inflammation by inhibiting skin oedema, neutrophil recruitment, metalloproteinase-9 activity, collagen fibre damage, mast cell and sunburn cell counts, and cytokine (TNF-α and IL-1β) production. CONCLUSIONS Topical treatment with EcPDTC improves antioxidant systems and inhibits inflammation, protecting the skin from the damaging effects of UVB irradiation.

Nerstrøm M, Krarup PM, Jorgensen LN, Ågren MS. Therapeutic improvement of colonic anastomotic healing under complicated conditions: A systematic review. World J Gastrointest Surg 2016; 8:389-401. [PMID: 27231518 PMCID: PMC4872068 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v8.i5.389] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2015] [Revised: 11/14/2015] [Accepted: 03/09/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To identify therapeutic agents for the prophylaxis of gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage (AL) under complicated conditions.
METHODS: The PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched for English articles published between January 1975 and September 2014. Studies with the primary purpose of improving anastomotic healing in the colon or rectum under complicated preoperative and/or intraoperative conditions were included. We excluded studies investigating the adverse effects or risk assessment of an active intervention. Furthermore, investigations of biophysical materials, sealants, electrical stimulation and nutrients were excluded. The primary study outcome was biomechanical anastomotic strength or AL. The meta-analysis focused on therapeutic agents that were investigated in one animal model using the same outcome by at least three independent research groups.
RESULTS: The 65 studies included were divided into 7 different complicated animal models: Bowel ischemia, ischemia/reperfusion, bowel obstruction, obstructive jaundice, peritonitis, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In total, 48 different therapeutic compounds were examined. The majority of investigated agents (65%) were reported as beneficial for anastomotic healing. Twelve of the agents (25%) were tested more than once in the same model, whereas 13 (27%) of the agents were tested in two or more models of complicated healing. Two therapeutic agents met our inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Postoperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly increased anastomotic bursting pressure in ischemic colon anastomoses by a mean of 28 mmHg (95%CI: 17 to 39 mmHg, P < 0.00001). Granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor failed to show a significant increase in anastomotic bursting pressure (95%CI: -20 to 21 mmHg, P = 0.97) vs controls in experimental chemotherapeutic models.
CONCLUSION: This systematic review identified potential therapeutic agents, but more studies are needed before concluding that any of these are useful for AL prophylaxis.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the effects of L-carnitine, with its known antioxidant properties and positive effects on wound healing, on the healing of colon anastomosis in a cecal ligation and puncture sepsis model in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The rats were randomly divided into four groups of 10 (n = 10). Groups 1 and 2 had laparotomy and colon anastomosis performed. Groups 3 and 4 had cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and colon anastomosis performed. Rats in Groups 1 and 3 were given 15 mL/kg intraperitoneal 0.9% isotonic NaCl, while the rats in Groups 2 and 4 were given 100 mg/kg intraperitoneal L-carnitine. On the postoperative fifth day, the rats were sacrificed and the burst pressure of anastomosis, histopathological effects, and tissue hydroxyproline levels were investigated. RESULTS In Groups 2 and 4, the anastomosis burst pressure and histopathological results in both noninfected abdomen and presence of peritonitis were statistically high compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Though the hydroxyproline levels were also high, there was no statistically significant difference for this parameter (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The findings obtained from the experimental sepsis model showed that healing of anastomosis in both the presence of peritonitis and noninfected abdomen was positively affected by the systemic administration of L-carnitine and this may contribute to the safety of anastomosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ozone is a three-oxygen molecule (O3). Ozone therapy (OT) is systematically effective when pathological inflammatory and immunologic processes are activated. Among of these conditions are wound healing, macular degeneration related to aging, and conditions that are ischemic or infectious. AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the effects of OT on wound healing of intestinal anastomosis in the presence of peritonitis in a rat model. STUDY DESIGN Animal experimentation. METHODS A total of 40 Wistar albino rats were randomized into four groups (n=10) including: sham (S), peritonitis (P), ozone 0 (O0), and ozone 24 (O24). In group S, only cecal dissection was carried out. The S group had only a cecal dissection and intestinal anastomosis performed, but no peritonitis. In all other groups, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) followed the cecal dissection to induce bacterial peritonitis. 24 h after puncture, a cecal resection and ileocolic anastomosis were performed. In group P, 24 h after CLP, a cecal resection and ileocolic anastomosis were performed and no ozone was administered. In group O0, immediately after the anastomosis, and in group O24, starting 24 hours after the anastomosis, an intraperitoneal 1 mg/kg/day ozone administration was applied for seven days. On the seventh day the animals were sacrificed, the anastomotic bursting pressures (BP) and the hydroxyproline values of the anastomotic tissues were measured, and histopathologic examination of the anastomotic segment was carried out. RESULTS The highest BP was in group S, with 211±23.13 mmHg. The mean BP of group P was 141±56.25 mmHg, which was significantly lower than in the other two peritonitis groups that received ozone therapy, group O0 and O24, where it was 192±22 and 166±45 mmHg, respectively (p<0.05). The difference in the BP between groups O0 and O24 was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Histopathologic analyses of the anastomotic segments determined there was significantly more oedema and necrosis in the control group rats, and collagen deposition in the anastomotic tissue was significantly higher in the ozone-treated groups on postoperative day 7. Hydroxyproline levels were significantly higher in groups O0 and O24 compared to the peritonitis group (P). CONCLUSION Ozone therapy has a beneficial effect on anastomotic healing of the colon in the presence of peritonitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the hypothesis that induced perioperative hypothermia in rats causes adverse effects on the healing of colonic anastomosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight Wistar rats were divided into eight groups of six animals that underwent laparotomy, sigmoid section, and anastomosis. Four groups were operated under normothermic conditions (36 ± 1 °C) and four under hypothermic conditions (32 ± 1 °C). The reoperations were performed on days 3, 7, and 14 post-surgery, and two groups where SHAM reoperated on day 3. We evaluated anastomotic bursting pressure and tissue hydroxyproline content; performed a histological analysis of inflammatory parameters and healing (inflammatory cell infiltrate, edema, fibrin, collagen deposition and apoptotic cells) with categorization scores = 0, 1, 2, 3; and examined the relative quantification gene expression (cDNA) of inflammatory cytokines [interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 10 (IL-10)] and growth factors [vascular endothelial growth factor and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)] by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Both of the hypothermic groups showed lower anastomotic burst pressure on days 7 and 14 post-surgery, reduced hydroxyproline content on day 14, reduction of inflammatory infiltrates and edema at day 3, and less collagen deposition on day 14. In animals that were hypothermic, the cytokine gene expression showed reduced IL-1 on day 3, reduced IL-6 on days 7 and 14, and reduced IL-10 on days 7 and 14 and a reduction in the growth factor IGF-1 on day 7. CONCLUSION Perioperative hypothermia had detrimental effects on the healing of colonic anastomosis in rats.

Abstract
Fractalkine is a unique member of the CX3C chemokine family by unfolding its potential through the chemokine (C-X3-C motif) receptor 1 (CX3CR1) with dual function acting both as an adhesion molecule and a soluble chemokine. The regulation of this chemokine is still not clear. Therefore, we were interested in the regulation of fractalkine and of CX3CR1 in experimental sepsis. In addition, we investigated the role of NF-κB for the regulation of fractalkine and of CX3CR1. Using a mouse model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis, we found elevated fractalkine mRNA levels in the heart, lung, kidney, and liver, as well as increased plasma levels 24 and 48h after CLP, respectively. In parallel, CLP resulted in a significant downregulation of CX3CR1 mRNA receptor expression in all investigated murine tissues. Septic mice that were pretreated with the selective NF-κB inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) were found to have a decreased liberation of proinflammtory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, or IFN-γ. Further PDTC pretreatment attenuated CLP-induced downregulation of CX3CR1 mRNA as well as CLP-induced upregulation of fractalkine mRNA expression in the heart, lung, kidney, liver, and the increase in fractalkine plasma levels of septic mice. In addition, CLP-induced downregulation of renal CX3CR1 protein expression was inhibited by PDTC-pretreatment. Taken together, our data indicate a CLP-induced inverse regulation of the expression between the relating ligand and the receptor with an upregulation of fractalkine and downregulation of CX3CR1, which seems to be mediated by the transcripting factor NF-κB likely via reduced liberation of proinflammtory cytokines in the whole murine organism.

Covering the colon anastomoses with amniotic membrane prevents the negative effects of early intraperitoneal 5-FU administration on anastomotic healing. Int J Colorectal Dis 2010; 25:223-32. [PMID: 19865820 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-009-0833-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 10/14/2009] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated whether covering the colonic anastomoses with amniotic membrane (AM) protects the anastomotic healing from the adverse effects of immediate 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) administration. METHODS One hundred twenty wistar albino rats were randomized to one of four groups (I-IV, 30 rats in each) and underwent a standardized left colon resection and anastomoses. The anastomoses of the rats in groups II (AM) and IV (5-FU + AM) were covered with AM. Saline solution (2 ml/day; groups I (control) and II) or 5-FU (20 mg/kg/day; groups III (5-FU) and IV) was administered to the rats intraperitoneally once daily from the day of operation until sacrificed. Half of each group was sacrificed on the postoperative day 4 (IA, IIA, IIIA, and IVA) and other half on the postoperative day 8 (IB, IIB, IIIB, and IVB), and their anastomoses were evaluated when sacrificed. RESULTS The dehiscence rate of anastomotic dehiscence and adhesion formation were significantly higher in groups IIIA and IIIB compared with groups IVA and IVB, respectively. Bursting pressure was significantly higher in the 5-FU + AM groups than in the 5-FU groups. The inflammatory cell infiltration was significantly lower in groups IIIA and IVA compared with group IA, in groups IIIB and IVB compared with group IB, and in group IVA compared with group IIIA. Neoangiogenesis, fibroblast activity, collagen deposition, and hydroxyproline levels were significantly higher in the 5FU + AM groups compared with control and 5-FU groups. Malondialdehyde levels were significantly higher in the 5-FU groups than in the 5-FU + AM groups. CONCLUSION Covering colon anastomoses with AM protects them, preventing leakage and reversing the negative effects of 5-FU administration.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the effects of amniotic membrane on primary colonic anastomoses in a rat peritonitis model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty female Sprague Dawley rats were used in the study. Bacterial peritonitis was induced in all rats by performing a cecal ligation and puncture. Ten rats served as controls for the bursting pressure measurement, while the other 40 animals were divided into two groups (the anastomosis group (P) or the amniotic membrane group (PA)), and all of them underwent colonic anastomosis. The latter group had amniotic membrane covering their anastomoses. Half of the PA and P groups were sacrificed on the third postoperative day (PA3, P3), and the other half on the seventh postoperative day (PA7, P7). RESULTS The bursting pressures were significantly higher in groups PA3 and PA7 compared with P3 (p < 0.01) and P7 (p < 0.05), respectively. Inflammatory cell infiltration and adhesion scores were significantly lower in groups PA3 and PA7 compared with groups P3 (p < 0.001, p < 0.01, respectively) and P7 (p < 0.001, p < 0.05, respectively). Neoangiogenesis, fibroblast activity, collagen deposition, and hydroxyproline concentrations were significantly higher in groups with amniotic membrane than in groups without amniotic membrane (p < 0.05, for all comparisons). CONCLUSION This study showed that the covering of colonic anastomoses with amniotic membrane significantly prevented the delaying effect of intraperitoneal sepsis and provided a safer and stronger anastomosis than suture and that this was the case for both the early and late phases of anastomotic healing in the colon.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Here we characterize the impact of nuclear factor-kappaB and cytokines on cecal ligation and puncture-induced circulatory failure and regulation of vasopressin V1A-receptors during inflammation. DESIGN Prospective animal trial. SETTING Laboratory of the Department of Anesthesiology. SUBJECTS Male C57/BL6 mice. INTERVENTIONS The effects of cecal ligation and puncture on hemodynamic parameters and V1A-receptor expression were measured in cytokine knock-out mice, in mice with/without treatment with glucocorticoids or NF-kappaB-inhibitors, in mice pretreated with small interfering RNA silencing NF-kappaB and in mice treated with V1 receptor agonists. Furthermore, the effects of cytokines on V1A-receptor expression were determined. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Cecal ligation and puncture resulted in a hyperdynamic circulatory failure with diminished blood pressor dose response to V1 receptor agonists and down-regulation of V1A-receptors. Dexamethasone inhibited proinflammatory cytokine production and attenuated cecal ligation and puncture-induced cardiovascular failure in parallel with attenuated down-regulation of V1A-receptor expression. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1beta, interferon-gamma or interleukin-6 dose-dependently decreased V1A-receptor expression, whereas cecal ligation and puncture-induced down-regulation of V1A-receptors was not affected in cytokine knock-out mice. In contrast, inhibition of NF-kappaB strongly reduced induction of cytokines, prevented septic circulatory failure and down-regulation of V1A-receptor gene expression and improved survival of septic animals. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrate that down-regulation of V1A-receptor expression during sepsis may be due to proinflammatory cytokines. Our findings explain the failure of therapeutic strategies targeting single cytokines as well as the success of glucocorticoid therapy and define a critical role for NF-kappaB in the pathogenesis of septic shock.

OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the effect of mesalamine on healing of experimental colon anastomosis model. MATERIAL/METHODS Forty adult male Wistar albino rats were performed segmentary colonic resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Animals were randomly divided into four groups: group I, anastomosis group, received no treatment (GI, n=8); group II, anastomosis+oral mesalamine group (100mg/kg/day); group III, anastomosis+rectal mesalamine (2mL) group, (GIII, n=8); group IV, anastomosis+oral mesalamine+rectal mesalamine (GIV, n=8) group. A sham group (n=8) was constituted and was performed laparotomy. Bursting pressure, hydroxyproline levels and histopathological characteristics of the anastomosis were analyzed. RESULTS Although it was not statistically significant, there was an increase in the burst pressure of the mesalamine group. When hydroxyproline measurements were compared there were statistically significant difference between the non-treated colon and all groups. There were significant differences between GI and GIII-GIV, GII and GIV. The differences between group I and II and group II and III were not statistically significant. When we compared the median amount of the histopathological changes, we found significant difference between the anastomosis and the mesalamine groups (P<0.05). But when mesalamine groups were compared with each other we did not observe a significant difference. CONCLUSION Mesalamine had positive effects which were not statistically significant on bursting pressure and statistically different significant effects on hydroxyproline (HP) levels based on the way of administration and statistically significant positive effects on histopathologic anastomotic healing in experimental anastomosis model.
