Effect of sevoflurane pretreatment in relieving liver ischemia/reperfusion-induced pulmonary and hepatic injury

Acta cir. bras; 34 (8), 2019
Abstract Purpose To investigate the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced pulmonary/hepatic injury Methods Fifty-one Wistar rats were randomly grouped into sham, I/R, and sevoflurane groups. After reperfusion, the structural change of the lung was measured by Smi...

The application of Compont gel in chronic obstructive jaundice rats model

Acta cir. bras; 34 (5), 2019
Abstract Purpose: To establish a new rat model, the pathogenesis of which is closer to the clinical occurrence of chronic obstructive jaundice with liver fibrosis. Methods: 90 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. Group A common bile duct ligation, group B common bile duct injection compont and ...

Vitamin E protects against hepatocyte ultrastructural damage induced by high fat diet in a rat model of pre-diabetes

Int. j. morphol; 36 (4), 2018
SUMMARY: We sought to investigate the potential protective effect of Vitamin E supplementation against hepatocyte ultrastructural alterations induced by high fat diet (HFD) in a rat model of pre-diabetes. Therefore, rats were either fed with HFD (model group) or a standard laboratory chow (control group)...

Alterations in the lipid profiles and circulating liver enzymes in individuals infected by Schistosoma mansoni

Abstract INTRODUCTION Portal hypertension and periportal fibrosis commonly occur in severe Schistosoma mansoni infection. Changes in lipid profile and elevated levels of circulating liver enzymes have also been described in infected individuals. The present study sought to assess the alterations in lab...

Evaluation of the therapeutic effect of methylene blue on the liver of rats submitted to ischemia and reperfusion

Acta cir. bras; 33 (12), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To analyze the effect of methylene blue (MB) therapy during the liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) process. Methods: Thirty-five male Wistar rats were used, (70%) submitted to partial ischemia (IR) or not (NIR) (30%) were obtained from the same animal. These animals were divided ...

Effects of different periods of gastric ischemia on liver as a remote organ

Acta cir. bras; 33 (11), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the hepatic changes associated with gastric ischemia. Methods: Thirty male rabbits were studied, distributed in 3 groups (n=10). Group 1: ligature and section of the gastric vasculature and removal of the liver after three hours; Group 2: ligature and section of the gast...

Prevention of rocuronium induced mast cell activation with prophylactic oleuropein rich diet in anesthetized rabbits

Acta cir. bras; 33 (11), 2018
Abstract Purpose: The effect of a prophylactic oleuropein-rich diet before anesthesia accompanied by the widely-used steroid-based neuromuscular drug rocuronium on mast cell activation was investigated in the study. Methods: 14 rabbits used in the study. The rabbits in the oleuropein group were given ...

Rivastigmine prevents injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion in rat liver

Acta cir. bras; 33 (9), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate whether pre-treatment with rivastigmine is able to attenuate the I/R induced lesions in rat liver. Methods: SHAM animals or those submitted to I/R, non-treated or pre-treated with rivastigminine (2mg/kg) either 50 or 15 minutes before ischemia, were used. After I/R proto...

Capsiate treatment in liver surgeries may compromise its recovery

Acta cir. bras; 33 (5), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of capsiate treatment on hepatic hyperplasia in partially hepatectomized rats. Methods: The animals were divided into a Capsiate group (CPH), a Capsiate Post-Partial Hepatectomy group (CPPH) and a Partial Hepatectomy Control group (PH). CPH and CPPH animal...
