Estudo da cicatrização nas lesões traumáticas esplênicas utilizando octil-2-cianoacrilato e fio de poliglecaprone 25

Use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate adhesive in rat liver induced lesion

PURPOSE: To evaluate the healing process of rat traumatic liver lesion corrected with the use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate adhesive, compared to the use of biologically absorbable chromed catgut thread suture. METHODS: Thirty mail adult rats were divided into two groups (15 per group) according to the used method for liver lesion correction as follows: adhesive group (AG), and catgut group (CG); each group being divided into three subsets of five animals (7th, 14th, and 21st day), respectively, according to post-surgery evaluation. All animals were submitted to homogeneous lesion applying synthetic bonding to AG and using chromed catgut suture to CG for lesion correction. Macroscopic and microscopic parameters of healing processes were evaluated. RESULTS: Both groups of animals showed excellent abdominal wall healing, with no evidence of infection, and no abdominal cavity peritonitis or abscess. The presence of adherence was observed in both groups with no statistically significant difference. As to macroscopic evaluation, there was statistically significant difference with respect to specific factors of clinical inflammation (ischemic inflammation and giant celular inflammatory reaction) between animals evaluated on the 10th day (ischemic necrosis and giant celular inflammatory reaction) among animals evaluated on the 14th day (A14 versus C14). CONCLUSION: Applying 2-octyl-cyanoacrylate adhesive for correcting rat liver lesion does not change healing process when compared to the use of chromed catgut stitch.

Ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate as a sealant after partial cecum resection in rattus norvegicus albinus

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the use of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate in the treatment of an injury caused in a partially excluded segment of the mouse gut: the cecum.

METHODS

We used 45 male Wistar rats, divided into three equal groups; in all there was performed a partial resection of the cecum. The groups were designated as Group 1: the lesion was treated with application of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate, Group 2: suture and application of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate, Group 3: purse-string suture. The animals were monitored postoperatively and half of each group was necropsied 14 days after the procedure, the remaining on the 28th. They were subjected to macroscopic evaluation, had cecal samples collected for histological examination and the findings were submitted to statistical analysis.

RESULTS

Weight gain after the experiment was different among groups (p=0.028). The presence of microabscesses was higher at 28 days postoperatively in group 2 when compared to group 3 (p=0.003). The collagen deposition on the 28th postoperative day was greater in group 1 (p=0.036) and intensity of inflammation at the 14th postoperative day was greater in group 1 (p=0.045). In the other parameters there was no statistical difference.

CONCLUSION

The use of ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate was effective in the treatment of cecal stump exclusion of rats as for macroscopic and microscopic findings and postoperative outcome.

Uso de 2-octil cianoacrilato em anastomose colônica: estudo experimental em ratos wistar

OBJETIVO: Comparar os resultados das anastomoses colônicas realizadas com o adesivo 2-octil cianoacrilato e as feitas com fio de polipropileno 5.0. MÉTODOS: Selecionaram-se 32 ratos Wistar machos distruibuidos em quatro grupos de oito animais tendo em conta o tipo de sutura - polipropileno ou aplicação de cianoacrilato -, e os dias para eutanásia - terceiro ou sétimo do pós-operatório. Nos animais dos grupos controle, as anastomoses foram realizadas em plano único com fio de polipropileno 5.0. Nos dos grupos com adesivo, elas foram executadas com 2-octil cianoacrilato. Avaliaram-se o tempo operatório, a integridade, o aspecto macroscópico das anastomoses, a pressão de ruptura à distensão, obstrução intestinal, formação de aderências e histologicamente o processo cicatricial e inflamatório. RESULTADOS: O tempo operatório foi significativamente maior nos grupos em que se aplicou adesivo tanto no terceiro quanto no sétimo dias (p=0,004). A formação de aderências foi mais extensa no grupo 2-octil cianoacrilato estudado no sétimo dia de pós-operatório em comparação com o grupo polipropileno (p=0,007). Os valores obtidos no estudo tensiométrico da anastomose, no sétimo dia de pós-operatório, mostraram-se menores no grupo 2-octil cianoacrilato (p=0,002). A frequência de obstrução intestinal parcial foi maior no grupo em que se aplicou adesivo quando avaliado no sétimo dia (0,029). O processo cicatricial e inflamatório não diferiu entre os grupos, seja no terceiro ou sétimo dias (p>0,05). CONCLUSÃO: Em condições experimentais, o uso do 2-octil cianoacrilato, avaliado no sétimo dia revelou-se deletério, levando a intensa formação de aderências, obstrução parcial da luz colônica, e menor resistência mecânica da anastomose.
