(Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2015-03) Eleotério, R. B.; Pontes, K. C. S.; Machado, J. P.; Reis, E. C. C.; Ferreira, P. S.; Silva, M. B.; Martins, N. J. S.; Fernandes, N. A.; Borges, A. P. B.
Chondroitin and glucosamine sulfate nutraceuticals are commonly used in the management of degenerative articular disease in veterinary routine. However, there are controversies on the contribution of these substances to articular cartilage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a chondroitin and glucosamine sulfate-based veterinary nutraceutical on the repair of an induced osteochondral defect in a dog femoral condyle, by macroscopic, histological and histomorphometric analyses. The nutraceutical was orally administered the day following injury induction, every 24 hours (treated group, TG, n=24), compared with animals that did not receive the product (control group, CG, n=24). Six animals per group were anaesthetized for sample collection at 15, 30, 60 and 90 days after surgery. At 15 days, defects were macroscopically filled with red-pinkish tissue. After 30 days, whitish color tissue was observed, both in TG and CG animals, with firmer consistency to touch at 60 and 90 postoperative days. Histological analysis demonstrated that, in both groups, there was initial blood clot formation, which was subsequently substituted by a fibrin net, with capillary proliferation from the adjacent bone marrow and infiltration of mesenchymal cells in clot periphery. As cellular differentiation developed, repair tissue presented a fibrocartilage aspect most of the time, and new subchondral bone formation occurred in the deepest area corresponding to the defect. Histomorphometry suggested that the nutraceutical did not favor the articular cartilage repair process. It was concluded that nutraceutical did not significantly influence chondrocytes proliferation or hyaline architecture restoration.
Incidência de infecção do sítio cirúrgico e fatores de risco associados na clínica cirúrgica de pequenos animais
(Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2014-06) Corsini, C. M. M.; Borges, A. P. B.; Alberto, D. S.; José, R. M.; Silva, C. H. O.
A infecção do sítio cirúrgico (ISC) apresenta-se como um complicador que possui muitos fatores de risco associados, e a maior parte das informações utilizadas nessa área pela medicina veterinária provém da medicina humana. Objetivou-se com este trabalho determinar a taxa de ISC no HVT-UFV, assim como correlacionar sua incidência com os seguintes fatores de risco: quantidade de pessoas presentes durante a cirurgia, classificação do potencial de contaminação da ferida cirúrgica e utilização de antimicrobiano profilático e ou terapêutico. Para isso, foram colhidas informações sobre a ocorrência de ISC, bem como os fatores de risco citados de 401 prontuários. Esses dados passaram por análise estatística, e foram obtidos os seguintes resultados: 21 pacientes diagnosticados com ISC, o que gerou uma taxa de infecção de 5,24% e associação entre incidência de ISC e cirurgias com risco de contaminação maior que 5%. Os demais fatores de risco avaliados não apresentaram associação, porém, em valores absolutos, foi detectada maior ocorrência de infecção nos procedimentos com maior quantidade de pessoas na sala de cirurgia. Portanto, foi possível observar a importância da obtenção fidedigna de dados e a necessidade do desenvolvimento de um sistema de vigilância epidemiológica voltado para a medicina veterinária.
Membrana amniótica canina utilizada como bandagem em úlcera superficial de córnea de coelhos - aspectos clínicos
(Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2008-10) Pontes, K. C. S.; Borges, A. P. B.; Duarte, T. S.; Morato, G. L.; Zavan, V.; Eleotério, R. B.; Carlo, E. C.
Realizou-se a ceratectomia superficial em 28 coelhos, distribuídos em dois grupos. No grupo tratado, composto por 14 animais, utilizou-se a membrana amniótica canina como bandagem, suturada com sua face epitelial voltada contra a superfície corneana. O grupo controle não recebeu tratamento. A avaliação clínica foi realizada 24 horas após a cirurgia, a cada dois dias durante uma semana e a cada quatro dias até 180 dias. Avaliaram-se os efeitos da membrana amniótica como bandagem, comparando-se o tempo de epitelização da córnea entre os grupos e verificando o período necessário para que a córnea apresentasse transparência completa. A opacidade corneana esteve presente em todos os animais durante o período observado. O tratamento instituído resultou clinicamente em neovascularização corneana, opacidade de córnea mais intensa no período inicial de reparação, retardou o processo de epitelização e causou mais dor e desconforto que nos animais do grupo-controle.
A new surgical technique to treat corneal perforations using amniotic membrane and surgical adhesive
(Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2014-06) Pontes, K. C. S.; Borges, A. P. B.; Eleotério, R. B.; Frazão, A. C. N.; Machado, D. P. D.; Reis, E. C. C.; Sepúlveda, R. V.; Duarte, T. S.; Laus, J. L.
The objectives of this study were to compare surgical techniques and the effects of using n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate and bovine amniotic membrane to repair perforated lesions in corneas. Penetrating keratoplasty was performed in sixty New Zealand White rabbits under general anesthesia. Group 1 (G1) was treated with n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate, group 2 (G2) received a fragment of amniotic membrane through the anterior chamber and application of n-butyl 2-cyanoacrylate over the lesion, group 3 (G3) was treated with the same technique as G2 with the addition of an amniotic membrane bandage covering the cornea and sutured in the limbus region, and group 4 (G4) was treated with an amniotic membrane sutured to the lesion and an amniotic membrane bandage sutured in the limbus region. Clinical, histological and histomorphometric examinations of the corneas were performed. The membrane acted as a barrier for aqueous humor in G2 and G3, thereby keeping the surface dry for adhesive application; it also prevented the adhesive from contacting intraocular structures. The groups treated with amniotic membrane and surgical adhesive showed better results than the groups treated with either material alone. Thus, the combination of the membrane with the adhesive is recommended for this type of lesion.
Optically transparent membrane based on bacterial cellulose/polycaprolactone
(Polímeros, 2013) Queiroz, P. V. S.; Borges, A. P. B.; Barud, H. S.; Ribeiro, S. J. L.; Carone, C. L. P.; Ligabue, R.; Einloft, Sandra; Jahno, V. D.
Optically transparent membranes from bacterial cellulose (BC)/polycaprolactone (PCL) have been prepared by impregnation of PCL acetone solution into dried BC membranes. UV-Vis measurements showed an increase on transparency in BC/PCL membrane when compared with pristine BC. The good transparency of the BC/PCL can be related to the presence of BC nanofibers associated with deposit of PCL nano-sized spherulites which are smaller than the wavelength of visible light and practically free of light scattering. XRD results show that cellulose type I structure is preserved inside the BC/PCL membrane, while the mechanical properties suggested indicated that PCL acts as a plasticizer for the BC membrane. The novel BC/PCL membrane could be used for preparation of fully biocompatible flexible display and biodegradable food packaging.
Treatment of periodontal disease with guided tissue regeneration technique using a hydroxyapatite and polycaprolactone membrane
(Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2016-11) Martins, L. M. A.; Valente, F. L.; Reis, E. C. C.; Sepúlveda, R. V.; Perdigão, A. P. L.; Borges, A. P. B.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a malleable membrane composed of hydroxyapatite (60%) and polycaprolactone (40%) as treatment of periodontal disease experimentally induced in dogs. A bone defect of standardized dimensions was created between the roots of the third and fourth premolar of 12 dogs for periodontal disease induction. Six dogs had the defect covered by the membrane and six dogs received only standard treatment for periodontal disease, also applied to dogs in the treated group. The animals were clinically monitored during the experiment. Radiographs were taken after surgery and at 60 days after treatment initiation. Clinical attachment level was also assessed in those moments. On the 60th day, dental sample of all animals, containing tooth, defect and periodontal tissues, were harvested, fixed in formalin and analyzed by microtomography and histology. During the experimental period, the animals showed no pain and purulent discharge, however, there was dehiscence in 50% of animals and membrane exposure in five out of six animals in the treated group. Clinical attachment level showed no difference between groups. Radiographs showed radiopacity equal to the alveolar bone in both groups. The microtomography revealed that the control group had higher bone volume in the defect compared to the treated group; however, the furcation was not filled by new alveolar bone in any animal. Histological analysis revealed that junctional epithelium invasion was lighter in the control group. New bone was only observed in the apical edge of the defect in both groups. Although the composite is biocompatible and able to keep the space of the defect, it did not promote periodontal tissue regeneration within 60 days of observation.
