- Inflammatory activity modulation by hypertonic saline and pentoxifylline in a rat model of strangulated closed loop small bowel obstruction(2014) RASSLAN, Roberto; UTIYAMA, Edivaldo Massazo; MARQUES, Geraldo Magela Nogueira; FERREIRA, Thiago Camargo; COSTA, Vitor Alves Pessoa da; VICTO, Nathalia Cruz de; RASSLAN, Samir; MONTERO, Edna Frassonde SouzaBackground: Intestinal obstruction is an abdominal disease associated to mortality, especially if complicated with sepsis. Resuscitation increases survival, although controversies remain concerning to therapeutic strategy. Methods: To assess the effects of hypertonic saline and pentoxifylline on the inflammatory response and oxidative stress, Wistar rats underwent a laparotomy loop intestinal obstruction and ischemia. After 24 h, the intestinal segment was resected (IO) without any other treatment and resuscitation/pentoxifylline were administered according to the group: Ringer's lactate (RL); hypertonic saline (HS); pentoxifylline (PTX); Ringer's lactate with pentoxifylline (RL + PTX); hypertonic saline with pentoxifylline (HS + PTX) and the control group (CG) that was not submitted to ischemia and obstruction. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was recorded 4 times, and euthanasia was done 3 h after the resuscitation to obtain lung tissue, for malondialdehyde (MDA) by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method, inflammatory cytokines were assessed using ELISA and NF-kappa B by Western blotting. Results: The initial MAP levels were higher in the RL and HS groups than in the others; however, the last measurement was similar among all the groups. IL-1 beta, IL-6 and CINC-1 (Cytokine-Induced Neutrophil Chemoattractant-1) were lower in the HS, PTX and HS + PTX groups compared with the IO and RL groups. IL-10 was lower in the HS + PTX group than in the IO group. NF-kappa B in the HS, PTX and HS + PTX groups were lower than in the IO group; NF-kappa B in the HS + PTX group was lower than in the RL group. MDA in the lung was lower in the HS + PTX group compared with other groups. Conclusion: Hypertonic saline and pentoxifylline, both alone and in combination, attenuated oxidative stress and the activation of NF-kappa B, leading to a decrease in the inflammatory response.
- Multivisceral resection for retroperitoneal liposarcoma-is it worth it? A 20-year single-center experience(2023) JR, Frederico Ribeiro Teixeira; ARAKAKI, Mariana Sousa; LIMA, Helber Vidal Gadelha; FERREIRA, Fabio de Oliveira; MENEGOZZO, Carlos Augusto Metidieri; SILVA, Eduardo Rissi; MONTERO, Edna Frasson de Souza; OYA, Toshiko; LIMA, Luiz Calima; AKAISHI, Eduardo Hiroshi; UTIYAMA, Edivaldo MassazoPurposeSoft tissue sarcomas are rare malignant tumors. Liposarcoma constitutes the most frequent histological subtype of retroperitoneal sarcoma. The prognosis of soft tissue sarcomas depends on clinical and histologic characteristics.ObjectiveEvaluate variables that may be related to the overall and local recurrence-free survival in patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma and discuss the need for visceral resection en-bloc for tumors.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted of the medical records of 60 patients seen between 1997 and 2017 who underwent surgical resection of retroperitoneal liposarcoma.ResultsThe overall survival rate at 5 years of follow-up was 75.22% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.58-0.86). The probability of a local recurrence-free survival at 5 years of follow-up was 26.04% (95% CI 0.11-0.44). The multivariate analysis showed that dedifferentiated or pleomorphic tumors and R2/fragmented resection were associated with a shorter time to recurrence. No other characteristics markedly influenced the overall survival (P > 0.05).ConclusionPatients with dedifferentiated or pleomorphic tumors and incomplete resection were associated with higher local recurrence rates than others. This study reinforces the need for complete and en-bloc resection with organs when there is clear involvement or technical surgical difficulty to maintain the tumor integrity.
- Virtual reality simulator versus box-trainer to teach minimally invasive procedures: A meta-analysis(2019) GUEDES, Hugo Goncalo; FERREIRA, Zemia Maria Camara Costa; LEAO, Layra Ribeiro de Sousa; MONTERO, Edna Frasson Souza; OTOCH, Jose Pinhata; ARTIFON, Everson Luiz de AlmeidaBackground: To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality simulator (VRS) training compared to box-trainer training (BT) for learning outcomes in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed using CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL, LILACS. The primary outcomes were time to perform MIS and performance score in MIS. After being selected, the articles were evaluated for methodological quality and risk of bias. The results were evaluated for quality of evidence and meta-analysis was performed. Results: 20 randomized clinical trials were included in the qualitative analysis and 14 were used in the meta-analysis. VRS training was more efficient than BT training (P < 0.00001, 95% CI: 35.08 to -25.01) when evaluating participant time needed to complete the peg task. In descriptive analysis, VRS training was better than BT training in participant performance score to perform MIS. There was no statistical difference in the meta-analysis in the time needed to perform surgery, time to complete basic or advanced tasks and performance score for basic or advanced tasks. Conclusions: VRS training was better than BT training in participant performance scores when performing MIS and in the time needed to complete the basic task of peg transfer. In all other outcomes, regardless of the student's level of experience or type of activity, the two forms of training were equivalent.
- First Chemical Evaluation and Toxicity of Casinga-cheirosa to Balb-c Male Mice(2014) ESTORK, Dirce M.; GUSMAO, Daniela F.; PACIENCIA, Mateus L. B.; DIAZ, Ingrit E. C.; VARELLA, Antonio D.; YOUNES, Riad N.; REIS, Luiz F. L.; MONTERO, Edna F. S.; BERNARDI, Maria M.; SUFFREDINI, Ivana B.Laetia suaveolens, known as ""casinga-cheirosa"", crude extract EB719 has previously shown cytotoxic activity against prostate cancer and squamous cell carcinoma. For the first time, seven molecules were isolated from its apolar-alpha-tocopherol (1) and sitosterol (2)-and polar-3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3), 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4), 5-O-feruloylquinic acid (5), hyperoside (6), and isoquercitrin (7)-fractions. Acute toxicity was determined in a two-stage experiment: (1) a reduced number of Balb-c male mice received 5000 mg/kg of EB719 to allow evaluation of general activity and other 27 parameters, plus death, up to the establishment of non-lethal dose (NLD), as well as lethal dose 50% (LD50); (2) NLD was administered and diazepam introduced as reference drug. EB719 showed LD50 = 178.0 mg/kg, and NLD 156.3 mg/kg. In stage one EB719 did not influence general activity, but provoked impairment in grasp reflexes, tail squeeze and breathing; piloerection and cyanosis were increased. In stage two, alterations occurred in auricular reflex, piloerection and breathing after diazepam administration, but not in response to EB719. Intestinal hemorrhage caused by local bleeding was observed after necropsy, and may be the main cause of animals' death other than a systemic effect of the extract. Although the isolated compounds are biologically and pharmacologically active in both men and animal systems, it is premature to relate their occurrence in EB719 to the observed intestine hemorrhage in mice.
- Polypropylene and polypropylene/polyglecaprone (Ultrapro(r)) meshes in the repair of incisional hernia in rats(2015) UTIYAMA, Edivaldo Massazo; ROSA, Maria Beatriz Sartor de Faria; ANDRES, Marina de Paula; MIRANDA, Jocielle Santos de; DAMOUS, Sérgio Henrique Bastos; BIROLINI, Cláudio Augusto Vianna; DAMOUS, Luciana Lamarão; MONTERO, Edna Frasson de SouzaPURPOSE: To compare the inflammatory response of three different meshes on abdominal hernia repair in an experimental model of incisional hernia. METHODS: Median fascial incision and skin synthesis was performed on 30 Wistar rats. After 21 days, abdominal hernia developed was corrected as follows: 1) No mesh; 2) Polypropylene mesh; and, 3) Ultrapro(r) mesh. After 21 days, the mesh and surrounding tissue were submitted to macroscopic (presence of adhesions, mesh retraction), microscopic analysis to identify and quantify the inflammatory and fibrotic response using a score based on a predefined scale of 0-3 degrees, evaluating infiltration of macrophages, giant cells, neutrophils and lymphocytes. RESULTS: No significant difference was seen among groups in adherences, fibrosis, giant cells, macrophages, neutrophils or lymphocytes (p>0.05). Mesh shrinkage was observed in all groups, but also no difference was observed between polypropylene and Ultrapro mesh (7.0±9.9 vs. 7.4±10.1, respectively, p=0.967). Post-operatory complications included fistula, abscess, dehiscence, serohematic collection and reherniation, but with no difference among groups (p=0.363). CONCLUSION: There is no difference between polypropylene (high-density) and Ultrapro(r) (low-density) meshes at 21 days after surgery in extraperitoneal use in rats, comparing inflammatory response, mesh shortening, adhesions or complications.
- Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis rat model attenuated by a remote ischemic preconditioning in the pregnant(2017) GOMES, Rudnei de Oliveira Luciano; NETO, Ricardo Artigiani; GUIMARAES NETO, Jose de Freitas; NUNES, Adriana Porto; MONTERO, Edna Frasson de Souza; MARTINS, Jose LuizPurpose: To evaluate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (r-IPC) administered to pregnant rats, in the ileum of newborn rats subjected to hypoxia and reoxygenation. Methods: We used three pregnant rats and their newborn rats distributed in three groups: 1) Control (C) - Newborn rats born from a pregnant rat which did not undergo any intervention; 2) Hypoxia-Reoxygenation (H/R) - Newborn rats born from a pregnant rat which did not undergo any intervention, and were subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation; 3) Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (r-IPC) - newborn rats born from a pregnant rat which was subjected to remote ischemic preconditioning twenty-four hours before giving birth and the newborn rats were subjected to hypoxia-reoxygenation. Segments of ileum were prepared for histological analysis by HE and immunohistochemistry by the Ki67 to evaluate cell proliferation, crypt depth and villus height and evaluation of apoptosis by cleaved caspase-3. Results: The intensity of the lesions was lower in the r-IPC than in the H/R group, showing significant difference (p<0.01). The r-IPC group showed a higher proliferative activity compared to the H/R group (p<0.01), with deeper crypts (r-IPC > H/R - p < 0.05), and higher villi, showing significant difference (r-IPC > H/R - (p < 0.01). The occurrence of apoptosis in the H/R group was lower in comparison to groups C and r-IPC, with significant difference (H/R < r-IPC; p<0.05). Conclusion: The remote ischemic preconditioning applied to the pregnant rat protected the ileum of newborn rats subjected to hypoxia and reoxygenation, with decreased intensity of the lesions in the ileum mucosa and preservation of proliferative activity, keeping the villus height and crypt depth similar to group C.
conferenceObject Proliferative Activity and Neovascularization of the Ovarian Graft in Rats Treated with N-Acetylcysteine(2012) DURANDO, M. C. S.; GOMES, E. A. M.; DAMOUS, L. L.; SIMOES, M. J.; JACYSYN, J. F.; MONTERO, E. F. S.- Which Model is Better to Teach How to Perform Tube Thoracostomy: Synthetic, Cadaver, or Animal?(2022) MEYER-PFLUG, Adriano Ribeiro; RASSLAN, Roberto; USSAMI, Edson Yassushi; SILVA, Francisco de Salles Collet e; OTOCH, Jose Pinhata; DAMOUS, Sergio Henrique Bastos; MONTERO, Edna Frasson de Souza; MENOGOZZO, Carlos Augusto Metidieri; VIEIRA, Joaquim Edson; UTIYAMA, Edivaldo MassazoIntroduction: The lack of standardized skill training reported by medical students in performing tube thoracostomies may be associated with higher complications. The ideal training model is yet to be determined. This study sought to evaluate three different models. Methods: Between 2015 and 2017, 204 last-year medical students of Universidade de Sao Paulo with no prior training in tube thoracostomy were randomized into three groups: cadaver, pig, and synthetic models. All groups performed 1-d tube thoracostomy hands-on training and a 40-min theoretical class. The knowledge acquisition was measured by a comparison between a theoretical test before and 3 wk after the class, and the skills improvement was evaluated by a comparison between the skills test on the same day of the hands-on training and another after 24 wk (the retention skill test). A questionnaire was submitted to evaluate their satisfaction rate and self-reported confidence, as per a Likert scale. Results: The theoretical post-test score was higher compared to the pretest score in all groups (P < 0.001). The retention skills test in the cadaver and synthetic groups decreased compared to the skills test (P = 0.01 and P = 0.007, respectively). There was no difference between the groups either in the theoretical test or in the skills test. Student satisfaction was higher in the cadaver and pig groups. The confidence perception increased in all groups after the training. Conclusions: The models used for tube thoracostomy training appear to have a similar impact on skills retention, knowledge acquisition, and confidence. Although the satisfaction rate is lower for the synthetic model, it has no biological risk or ethical issues and is more feasible. (C) 2022 Published by Elsevier Inc.
- Ischemic preconditioning modifies mortality and inflammatory response(2016) PINHEIRO, Daniel Faria de Campos; FONTES, Belchor; SHIMAZAKI, John Kioshi; HEIMBECKER, Ana Maria Cattani; JACYSYN, Jacqueline de Fatima; RASSLAN, Samir; MONTERO, Edna Frasson de Souza; UTIYAMA, Edivaldo MassazoPURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of ischemic preconditioning on mortality, inflammatory mediators and oxidative stress after intestinal ischemia and reperfusion. METHODS: Male Wistar rats were allocated according to the period of ischemia with or without ischemic preconditioning which consist on clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 10 minutes followed by reperfusion for 10 minutes before the sustained ischemia period. Mortality was assessed in Phase 1 study, and the CINC-1, CINC-2 and MDA levels in the lungs were analyzed in Phase 2. RESULTS: Mortality was lower in the ischemic preconditioning group subjected to 90 minutes of ischemia compared to the group without ischemic preconditioning (I-90: 50% and IPC-90: 15%, p=0.018), and it was lower in the ischemic preconditioning group as a whole compared to the groups without ischemic preconditioning (IPC-14% and I=30%, p=0.006). Lower levels of MDA, CINC-1, and CINC-2 were observed in the animals that were subjected to ischemic preconditioning compared to the animals that were not (MDA: I-45=1.23 nmol/mg protein, and IPC-45=0.62 nmol/mg protein, p=0.0333; CINC-1: I-45=0.82 ng/mL and IPC-45=0.67 ng/mL, p=0.041; CINC-2: I-45=0.52 ng/mL and IPC-45=0.35 ng/mL, p=0.032). CONCLUSION: Ischemic preconditioning reduces mortality, inflammatory process and oxidative stress in rats subjected to intestinal ischemia and reperfusion.
- Open abdomen management: single institution experience(2015) RODRIGUES JUNIOR, Adilson Costa; NOVO, Fernando da Costa Ferreira; AROUCA, Rafael de Castro Santana; SILVA, Francisco de Salles Collet e; MONTERO, Edna Frasson de Souza; UTIYAMA, Edivaldo MassazoOBJECTIVE: to evaluate the outcome of abdominal wall integrity of both techniques. METHODS: a retrospective study was carried out at the Hospital das Clínicas, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de São Paulo, identifying the patients undergoing temporary abdominal closure (TAC) from January 2005 to December 2011. Data were collected through the review of clinical charts. Inclusion criteria were indication of TAC and survival to definitive abdominal closure. In the post-operative period only a group of three surgeons followed all patients and performed the reoperations. RESULTS: Twenty eightpatients were included. The difference in primary closure rates and mean time for fascial closure did not reach statistical significance (p=0.98 and p=0.23, respectively). CONCLUSION: VAC and Bogota Bag do not differ significantly regarding the outcome of abdominal wall integrity, due to the monitoring of a specific team and the adoption of progressive closure
