    An experimental rat model of ex vivo lung perfusion for the assessment of lungs after prostacyclin administration: inhaled versus parenteral routes
    (2011) CARDOSO, Paulo Francisco Guerreiro; PAZETTI, Rogerio; MORIYA, Henrique Takachi; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria de; CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; FECHINI, Karina; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli
    Objective: To present a model of prostaglandin I(2) (PGI(2)) administration (inhaled vs. parenteral) and to assess the functional performance of the lungs in an ex vivo lung perfusion system. Methods: Forty Wistar rats were anesthetized and placed on mechanical ventilation followed by median sterno-laparotomy and anticoagulation. The main pulmonary artery was cannulated. All animals were maintained on mechanical ventilation and were randomized into four groups (10 rats/group): inhaled saline (IS); parenteral saline (PS); inhaled PGI(2) (IPGI(2)); and parenteral PGI(2) (PPGI(2)). The dose of PGI(2) used in the IPGI(2) and PPGI(2) groups was 20 and 10 mu g/kg. respectively. The heart-lung blocks were submitted to antegrade perfusion with a low potassium and dextran solution via the pulmonary artery, followed by en bloc extraction and storage at 4 degrees C for 6 h. The heart-lung blocks were then ventilated and perfused in an ex vivo lung perfusion system for 50 min. Respiratory mechanics, hemodynamics, and gas exchange were assessed. Results: Mean pulmonary artery pressure following nebulization decreased in all groups (p < 0.001), with no significant differences among the groups. During the ex vivo perfusion, respiratory mechanics did not differ among the groups, although relative oxygenation capacity decreased significantly in the IS and PS groups (p = 0.04), whereas mean pulmonary artery pressure increased significantly in the IS group. Conclusions: The experimental model of inhaled PGI(2) administration during lung extraction is feasible and reliable. During reperfusion, hemodynamics and gas exchange trended toward better performance with the use of PGI(2) than that with the use of saline.

    (2014) ABREU, Marcus da Matta; PAZETTI, Rogerio; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria de; CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; PARRA, Edwin Roger; SILVA, Lais Pereira da; VIEIRA, Rodolfo de Paula; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli
    Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the principal obstacles for the lung transplantation (LTx) success. Several strategies have been adopted to minimize the effects of IRI in lungs, including ex vivo conditioning of the grafts and the use of antioxidant drugs, such as methylene blue (MB). We hypothesized that MB could minimize the effects of IRI in a LTx rodent model. Methods: Forty rats were divided into four groups (n = 10) according to treatment (saline solution or MB) and graft cold ischemic time (3 or 6 h). All animals underwent unilateral LTx. Recipients received 2 mL of saline or MB intraperitoneally before transplantation. After 2 h of reperfusion, arterial blood and exhaled nitric oxide samples were collected and bronchoalveolar lavage performed. Then animals were euthanized, and histopathology analysis as well as cell counts and cytokine levels measurements in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were performed. Results: There was a significant decrease in exhaled nitric oxide, neutrophils, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in MB-treated animals. PaO2 and uric acid levels were higher in MB group. Conclusions: MB was able in attenuating IRI in this LTx model.

    Effects of Prednisone on Mucociliary Clearance in a Murine Model
    (2012) OLIVEIRA-BRAGA, K. A.; NEPOMUCENO, N. A.; CORREIA, A. T.; JATENE, F. B.; PEGO-FERNANDES, P. M.
    All transplant patients are at increased risk of developing pulmonary infections, a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Immunosuppressants increase the incidence of lung infection by acting not only directly on the inflammatory cells, but also on the native immune system. Experimental studies have shown corticosteroid therapy, which is used in most immunosuppressive protocols after transplantation, to suppress mucus production by inhibiting calceiform. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of prednisone on mucociliary clearance. A total of 120 male Wistar rats were distributed into 4 groups. Animals in P1, P2, and P3 groups received daily doses of prednisone (0.625, 1.25, and 2.5 mg/kg/d), and hosts in the Sal group underwent gavage with saline solution (2.5 mL/d). After 7, 15, and 30 days, treatment, animals were killed. We assessed ciliary beating frequency (CBF), mucociliary transport velocity (MCTV), and mucus transportability (MT). There was no significant difference for CBF regarding dose (P = .089) or treatment duration (P = .175). MCTV values of 0.60 +/- 0.14 in group P1, 0.59 +/- 0.13 in group P2, 0.51 +/- 0.19 in group P3, and 0.61 +/- 0.08 Group Sal, showed P3 to significantly differ from P1 (P = .048) and Sal (P = .007) groups. Regardless of the prednisone dose, all groups displayed impaired MT compared with the Sal group: P1 (P = .02); P2 (P = .02) P3 (P = .03). There was no interaction between the therapy and the treatment time for CBF (P = .10), MCTV (P = .71), and MT (P = .64). Prednisone reduced the transportability of mucus even when administered at low doses; however, this change was not sufficient to alter the mucociliary clearance. Only high doses of prednisone impaired mucociliary clearance.

    Left ventricular chamber geometry in cardiomyopathies: insights from a computerized anatomical study
    (2018) JULIANI, Paulo Sergio; DAS-NEVES-PEREIRA, Joao-Carlos; MONTEIRO, Rosangela; CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; MOREIRA, Luiz Felipe Pinho; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli
    AimsSome authors have hypothesized that left ventricular chamber dilatation in ischaemic and idiopathic cardiomyopathies results in spherical transformation. Aiming to characterize how this transformation occurs, a study was performed by comparing normal and dilated specimens regarding sphericity and proportionality in left heart chambers. It is important to provide data for the development of therapeutic strategies in these diseases. Methods and resultsAn anatomical study was performed by comparing normal (n=10), ischaemic (n=15), and idiopathic (n=18) dilated human cardiomyopathic specimens regarding left ventricular chambers and their segmental proportionality to normal hearts. It was performed by capturing and processing images with proper software in three different levels of left ventricular chamber (basal, equatorial, and apical). These obtained data were analysed based on sphericity and proportionality by two dedicated indexes. Spherical shape: Calculated segmental indexes showed that dilated specimens were not spherical because they were smaller than as expected for a spherical shape (all values were <70% of a perfect sphere). Proportionality: There was no difference between basal index perimeters among groups, but apical index was lower in dilated specimens than in normal hearts, and so dilatation was not proportional to normal hearts. ConclusionsLeft ventricular chambers of anatomical specimens with dilated cardiomyopathies did not display a spherical shape and were not proportional to normal hearts.

    Comparing the Performance of Rat Lungs Preserved for 6 or 12 Hours After Perfusion With Low-Potassium Dextran or Histidine-Tryptophan-Ketoglutarate
    (2011) SIMOES, E. A.; PEGO-FERNANDES, P. M.; CARDOSO, P. F. G.; PAZETTI, R.; WEREBE, E.; BRAGA, K. A. de Oliveira; MENEZES, A.; NEPOMUCENO, N.; SOARES, P. R. O.; CORREIA, A. T.; JATENE, F. B.
    Introduction. In lung transplantation, graft dysfunction is a frequent cause of mortality; the etiopathogenesis is related to ischemia-reperfusion injury. We sought to compare the lung performance of rats after reperfusion after presentation with 3 solutions at 2 ischemia times. Methods. We randomized 60 male Wistar rats to undergo anterograde perfusion via the pulmonary artery with low-potassium dextran (LPD), histidine tryptophan ketoglutarate (HTK), or saline. After extraction, the heart lung blocks were preserved in a solution at hypothermia for 6 or 12 hours before perfusion with homologous blood for 60 minutes using ex vivo system Isolated Perfused Rat or Guinea Pig Lung System (Harvard Apparatus). Respiratory mechanics, pulmonary weight, pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), and relative lung oxygenation capacity (ROC) measurements were obtained every 10 minutes. Results. Comparing tidal volume (TV), compliance, resistance, ROC, PAP, and pulmonary weight the LPD, HTK, and saline group did not differ at 6 and 12 hours. The TV was higher in the lungs with 6-hour ischemia in the LPD, HTK, and saline groups. Compliance was higher in the lungs with 6-hour ischemia in the LPD and saline groups. There were no differences in ROC values comparing lungs with 6- versus 12-hour ischemia in the LPD group. A significant difference was observed between lungs in the HTK and saline groups. Resistance was higher in the lungs with 12-hour ischemia among the LPD, HTK, and saline groups. There was a gradual weight increase in the lungs, particularly those undergoing 12-hour ischemia, despite the absence of a significant difference between groups. Conclusion. Rat lungs perfused with LPD and HTK preservation solutions showed similar reperfusion performances in this ex-vivo perfusion model.

    New contribution to the study of ventricular remodeling and valve rings in dilated cardiomyopathy: anatomical and histological evaluation
    (2014) DALVA, Moise; CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; JATENE, Natalia de Freitas; SALDIVA, Paulo Hilario Nascimento; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli
    Introduction: Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy causes great impact but many aspects of its pathophysiology remain unknown. Objective: To evaluate anatomical and histological aspects of hearts with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and compare them to a control group, evaluating the behavior of the perimeters of the atrioventricular rings and ventricles and to compare the percentage of collagen and elastic fibers of the atrioventricular rings. Methods: Thirteen hearts with cardiomyopathy and 13 normal hearts were analysed. They were dissected keeping the ventricular mass and atrioventricular rings, with lamination of segments 20%, 50% and 80% of the distance between the atrioventricular groove and the ventricular apex. The sections were subjected to photo scanning, with measurement of perimeters. The atrioventricular rings were dissected and measured digitally to evaluate their perimeters, later being sent to the pathology laboratory, and stained by hematoxylin-eosin, picrosirius and oxidized resorcin fuccin. Results: Regarding to ventricles, dilation occurs in all segments in the pathological group, and the right atrioventricular ring measurement was higher in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy group, with no difference in the left side. With respect to collagen, both sides had lower percentage of fibers in the pathological group. With respect to the elastic fibers, there was no difference between the groups. Conclusion: There is a change in ventricular geometry in cardiomyopathy group. The left atrioventricular ring does not dilate, in spite of the fact that in both ventricles there is lowering of collagen.

    Risk Factors and Survival Impact of Primary Graft Dysfunction After Lung Transplantation in a Single Institution
    (2012) SAMANO, M. N.; FERNANDES, L. M.; BARANAUSKAS, J. C. B.; CORREIA, A. T.; AFONSO JR., J. E.; TEIXEIRA, R. H. O. B.; CARAMORI, M. L.; PEGO-FERNANDES, P. M.; JATENE, F. B.
    Background. Lung transplantation has become a standard procedure for some end-stage lung diseases, but primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is an inherent problem that impacts early and late outcomes. The aim of this study was to define the incidence, risk factors, and impact of mechanical ventilation time on mortality rates among a retrospective cohort of lung transplantations performed in a single institution. Methods. We performed a retrospective study of 118 lung transplantations performed between January 2003 and July 2010. The most severe form of PGD (grade III) as defined at 48 and 72 hours was examined for risk factors by multivariable logistic regression models using donor, recipient, and transplant variables. Results. The overall incidence of PGD at 48 hours was 19.8%, and 15.4% at 72 hours. According multivariate analysis, risk factors associated with PGD were donor smoking history for 48 hours (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 4.83; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.236-18.896; P = .022) and older donors for 72 hours (adjusted OR, 1.046; 95% CI, 0.997-1.098; P = .022). The operative mortality was 52.9% among patients with PGD versus 20.3% at 48 hours (P = .012). At 72 hours, the mortality rate was 58.3% versus 21.2% (P = .013). The 90-days mortality was also higher among patients with PGD. The mechanical ventilation time was longer in patients with PGD III at 48 hours namely, a mean time of 72 versus 24 hours (P = .001). When PGD was defined at 72 hours, the mean ventilation time was even longer, namely 151 versus 24 hours (P < .001). The mean overall survival for patients who developed PGD at 48 hours was 490.9 versus 1665.5 days for subjects without PGD (P = .001). Considering PGD only at 72 hours, the mean survival was 177.7 days for the PGD group and 1628.9 days for the other patients (P < .001). Conclusion. PGD showed an important impacts on operative and 90-day mortality rates, mechanical ventilation time, and overall survival among lung transplant patients. PGD at 72 hours was a better predictor of lung transplant outcomes than at 48 hours. The use of donors with a smoking history or of advanced age were risk factors for the development of PGD.

    Comparison of Celsior and Perfadex lung preservation solutions in rat lungs subjected to 6 and 12 hours of ischemia using an ex-vivo lung perfusion system
    (2012) MENEZES, Arteiro Queiroz; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel; CARDOSO, Paulo Francisco Guerreiro; BRAGA, Karina Andrighetti de Oliveira; NEPOMUCENO, Natalia Aparecida; PAZETTI, Rogerio; CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; CANZIAN, Mauro; SANTIM, Jacqueline Klarosk; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli
    OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the performance of lungs that were preserved with different solutions (Celsior, Perfadex or saline) in an ex vivo rat lung perfusion system. METHODS: Sixty Wistar rats were anesthetized, anticoagulated and randomized into three groups (n = 20). The rats were subjected to antegrade perfusion via the pulmonary artery with Perfadex, Celsior, or saline, followed by 6 or 12 hours of ischemia (4 degrees C, n = 10 in each group). Respiratory mechanics, gas exchange and hemodynamics were measured at 10-minute intervals during the reperfusion of heart-lung blocks in an ex vivo system (IL2-Isolated Perfused Rat or Guinea Pig Lung System, Harvard Apparatus, Holliston, Massachusetts, USA; Hugo Sachs Elektronik, Germany) for 60 minutes. The lungs were prepared for histopathology and evaluated for edema following reperfusion. Group comparisons were performed using ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test with a 5% level of significance. RESULTS: Gas exchange was not significantly different between lungs perfused with either Perfadex or Celsior at the same ischemic times, but it was very low in lungs that were preserved with saline. Airway resistance was greater in the lungs that were preserved for 12 hours. Celsior lungs that were preserved for 6 and 12 hours exhibited lower airway resistance (p = 0.01) compared to Perfadex lungs. Pulmonary artery pressure was not different between the groups, and no significant differences in histopathology and apoptosis were observed between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Lungs that were preserved with Celsior or Perfadex exhibited similar gas exchange and histopathological findings. Airway resistance was slightly lower in the Celsior-preserved lungs compared with the Perfadex-preserved lungs.

    Comparison Between Perfadex and Locally Manufactured Low-Potassium Dextran Solution for Pulmonary Preservation in an Ex Vivo Isolated Lung Perfusion Model
    (2011) SOARES, P. R. O.; BRAGA, K. A. D. O.; NEPOMUCENO, N. A.; PAZETTI, R.; CORREIA, A. T.; CARDOSO, P. F. G.; BISCEGLIJATENE, F.; PEGO-FERNANDES, P. M.
    Introduction. Lung tranplantation, a consolidated treatment for end-stage lung disease, utilizes preservation solutions, such as low potassium dextran (LPD), to mitigate ischemia reperfusion injury. We sought the local development of LPD solutions in an attempt to facilitate access and enhance usage. We also sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a locally manufactured LPD solution in a rat model of ex vivo lung perfusion. Methods. We randomized the following groups \?\adult of male Wistar rats (n = 25 each): Perfadex (LPD; Vitro life, Sweden); locally manufactured LPD-glucose (LPDnac) (Farmoterapica, Brazil), and normal saline solution (SAL) with 3 ischemic times (6, 12, and 24 hours). The harvested heart lung blocks were flushed with solution at 4 C. After storage, the blocks were connected to an IL-2 Isolated Perfused Rat or Guinea Pig Lung System (Harvard Apparatus) and reperfused with homologous blood for 60 minutes. Respiratory mechanics, pulmonary artery pressure, perfusate blood gas analysis, and lung weight were measured at 10-minute intervals. Comparisons between groups and among ischemic times were performed using analysis of variance with a 5% level of significance. Results. Lungs preserved for 24 hours were nonviable and therefore excluded from the analysis. Those preserved for 6 hours showed better ventilatory mechanics when compared with 12 hours. The oxygenation capacity was not different between lungs flushed with LPD or LPDnac, regardless of the ischemic time. SAL lungs showed higher PCO(2) values than the other solutions. Lung weight increased over time during perfusion; however, there were no significant differences among the tested solutions (LPD, P = .23; LPDnac, P = .41; SAL, P = .26). We concluded that the LPDnac solution results in gas exchange were comparable to the original LPD (Perfadex); however ventilatory mechanics and edema formation were better with LPD, particularly among lungs undergoing 6 hours of cold ischemia.

    The effects on mucociliary clearance of prednisone associated with bronchial section
    (2012) BRAGA, Karina Andrighetti de Oliveira; NEPOMUCENO, Natalia Aparecida; CORREIA, Aristides Tadeu; JATENE, Fabio Biscegli; PEGO-FERNANDES, Paulo Manuel
    OBJECTIVE: Infections have been and remain the major cause of morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation. Because mucociliary clearance plays an important role in human defense mechanisms, the influence of drugs on the mucociliary epithelium of patients undergoing lung transplantation must be examined. Prednisone is the most important corticosteroid used after lung transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of bronchial transection and prednisone therapy on mucociliary clearance. METHODS: A total of 120 rats were assigned to 4 groups according to surgical procedure or drug therapy: prednisone therapy (1.25 mg/kg/day); bronchial section and anastomosis + prednisone therapy (1.25 mg/kg/day); bronchial section + saline solution (2 ml/day); and saline solution (2 ml/day). After 7, 15, or 30 days, the animals were sacrificed, and the lungs were removed from the thoracic cavity. The in situ mucociliary transport velocity, ciliary beat frequency and in vitro mucus transportability were evaluated. RESULTS: Animals undergoing bronchial section surgery and anastomosis had a significant decrease in the ciliary beat frequency and mucociliary transport velocity 7 and 15 days after surgery (p<0.001). These parameters were normalized 30 days after the surgical procedure. Prednisone improved mucous transportability in the animals undergoing bronchial section and anastomosis at 15 and 30 days (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Bronchial section and anastomosis decrease mucociliary clearance in the early postoperative period. Prednisone therapy improves mucus transportability in animals undergoing bronchial section and anastomosis.
