ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Investigar em ratos Wistar as respostas adaptativas da mucosa em conseqüência da desnervação intrínseca do jejuno após ressecção intestinal extensa. MÉTODOS: Utilizaram-se 30 ratos distribuídos em três grupos segundo o procedimento realizado: C (controle), R (ressecção intestinal) e D (ressecção intestinal e desnervação intrínseca do jejuno). Posteriormente foi avaliado o ganho de peso e realizado estudos morfométrico da mucosa intestinal. RESULTADOS: Os animais do grupo D apresentaram ganho ponderal consideravelmente maior do que os do grupo R (D=312,2±21g e R=196,7±36,2g). A contagem neuronal mostrou diminuição na população de neurônios mientéricos no grupo D (344,8±34,8 neurônios/mm de jejuno) em relação aos outros grupos (R=909,0±55,5 e C=898,5±73,3). A área do epitélio da mucosa jejunal foi maior no grupo D (10,8±4,3mm²) em comparação aos grupos R (7,3±3,9mm²) e C (5,8±3,0mm²). O índice de proliferação celular epitelial da mucosa foi maior no grupo D (48,7 por cento), em relação aos grupos R (31,9 por cento) e C (23,6 por cento). CONCLUSÕES: O modelo experimental mostrou-se eficaz em melhorar o ganho ponderal dos animais submetidos à ressecção intestinal extensa, provocando intensificação da resposta hiperplásica da mucosa, a qual provavelmente levou a aumento da superfície de absorção de nutrientes. Abrem-se boas perspectivas para novas abordagens cirúrgicas para a síndrome do intestino curto.

ABSTRACT

Patients with megaesophagus (ME) have increased prevalence of cancer of the esophagus. In contrast, a higher incidence of colorectal cancer is not observed in patients with megacolon (MC). MC is very common in some regions of Brazil, where it is mainly associated with Chagas disease. We reviewed the pathology records of surgical specimens of all patients submitted for surgical resection of MC in the Hospital das Clínicas of the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto (HC-FMRP), from the University of São Paulo. We found that 894 patients were operated from 1952 until 2001 for MC resection. Mucosal ulcers, hyperplasia and chronic inflammation were frequently found, while polyps were uncommon. No patients with MC presented any type of colonic neoplasm. This observation reinforces the hypothesis that MC has a negative association with cancer of the colon. This seems to contradict the traditional concept of carcinogenesis in the colon, since patients with MC presents important chronic constipation that is thought to cause an increase in risk for colon cancer. MC is also associated with other risk factors for cancer of colon, such as hyperplasia, mucosal ulcers and chronic inflammation. In ME these factors lead to a remarkable increase in cancer risk. The study of mucosal cell proliferation in MC may provide new insights and useful information about the role of constipation in colonic carcinogenesis
