ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: Intimal hyperplasia is associated with graft failure and vascular sutures in the first year after surgery and in postangioplasty restenosis. Allium sativum (common garlic) lowers cholesterol and has antioxidant effects; it also has antiplatelet and antitumor properties and, therefore, has great potential to reduce or inhibit intimal hyperplasia of the arteries. Our objective is to determine if the garlic has an efficacy to inhibit myointimal hyperplasia compared to cilostazol. Methods: Female New Zealand rabbits were divided into the following groups (n=10 each) according to treatment: group A, garlic, 800 µg×kg-1×day-1, orally; group C, cilostazol, 50 mg.day-1, orally; group PS, 10 ml of 0.9% physiological saline solution, orally. Our primary is the difference of the mean of myointimal hyperplasia. Statistical analysis was performed by using ANOVA and Tukey tests, as well as the Chi-square test. We calculated the 95% confidence interval for each point estimate, and the P value was set as < 0.05. Results: Group PS had a mean hyperplasia rate of 35.74% (95% CI, 31.76–39.71%); group C, 16.21% (95% CI, 13.36–19.05%); and group A, 21.12% (95% CI, 17.26–25.01%); P<0.0001. Conclusion: We conclude that Allium sativum had the same efficacy in inhibiting myointimal hyperplasia when compared to the positive control, cilostazol.

ABSTRACT

Objective: to assess post-angioplasty myointimal hyperplasia in iliac artery of rabbits treated with extract of Moringa oleifera leaves. Methods : we conducted a randomized trial in laboratory animals for five weeks of follow-up, developed in the Vivarium of Pharmaceutical Technology Laboratory of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba. We used rabbits from the New Zealand breed, subjected to a hypercholesterolemic diet and angioplasty of the external iliac artery, randomized into two groups: M200 Group (n=10) - rabbits treated with 200mg/kg/day of Moringa oleifera leaves extract orally; SF group (n=10) - rabbits treated with 0.9% saline orally. After five weeks, the animals were euthanized and the iliac arteries prepared for histology. Histological sections were analyzed by digital morphometry. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t test. The significance level was 0.05. Results : there was no significant difference in myointimal hyperplasia between M200 and SF groups when comparing the iliac arteries submitted to angioplasty. Conclusion : there was no difference of myointimal hyperplasia between groups treated with saline and Moringa oleifera after angioplasty.


Objetivo: determinar a diferença da média de hiperplasia miointimal pós-angioplastia na artéria ilíaca de coelhos tratados e não tratados com extrato das folhas de Moringa oleifera. Métodos: ensaio aleatório em animais de laboratório por cinco semanas de seguimento, desenvolvido no Biotério do Laboratório de Tecnologia Farmacêutica da Universidade Federal da Paraíba. Foram utilizadas coelhas da raça Nova Zelândia, submetidas à dieta hipercolesterolêmica e angioplastia da artéria ilíaca externa, randomizadas em dois grupos: Grupo M200 (n=10), coelhas tratadas com 200mg/kg/dia de extrato de folhas de Moringa oleifera, por via oral; Grupo SF (n=10), coelhas tratadas com soro fisiológico 0,9%, por via oral. Após cinco semanas, os animais foram eutanaziados e as artérias ilíacas preparadas para histologia. Os cortes histológicos foram analisados por morfometria digital. A análise estatística foi realizada com o teste t de Student. O nível de significância foi 0,05. Resultados: comparando as artérias ilíacas submetidas à angioplastia do grupo M200 com as do grupo SF, não houve diferença significativa da hiperplasia miointimal Conclusão: não houve diferença da hiperplasia miointimal nos grupos tratados com soro fisiológico e Moringa oleifera após angioplastia.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXTO: Por ser o laser um método novo no tratamento das varizes, há muitos mitos e dúvidas com relação à sua eficácia; assim, surgiu a necessidade de compará-lo a substância esclerosante mais utilizada em nosso meio (glicose hipertônica). OBJETIVO: Comparar a eficiência do laser diodo 980 nm à glicose 75 por cento na oclusão de veias em orelha de coelho. MÉTODOS: Ensaio aleatório em animais de laboratório por 21 dias. A amostra consistiu de orelhas de coelhos machos adultos. Grupo L (laser): 15 orelhas tratadas com laser; grupo G (glicose 75 por cento): 15 orelhas tratadas com glicose a 75 por cento. Variáveis primárias: veias esclerosadas e/ou ocluídas. Variáveis complementares: volume da substância administrada, complicações e peso. O tamanho da amostra foi estimado em 30 orelhas. Foi realizado o teste exato de Fisher associado ao Risco Relativo (RR), calculando-se o intervalo de confiança (IC) de 95 por cento para as variáveis acima. RESULTADOS: A incidência de esclerose ou oclusão venosa no grupo G foi de 53 por cento (8/15; IC95 por cento: 27-79) e no grupo L, 20 por cento (3/15; IC95 por cento: 4-49). O p bicaudal foi de 0,1281, o RR usando a aproximação de Katz foi de 2,66; IC95 por cento: 0,87-8,15. CONCLUSÃO: A eficiência do laser diodo 980 nm em comparação à da glicose 75 por cento na oclusão de veias para o modelo experimental estudado foi equivalente.


BACKGROUND: The laser is a new treatment to varicose veins and there is several myths and doubts in relation to its efficacy; then, there is the need to compare it with the most commonly sclerosing solution (hypertonic glucose) used in our specialty. OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficiency of the diode laser 980nm to the glucose 75 percent in the occlusion of veins from the ear of rabbits. METHODS: Aleatory trial in laboratory animals during 21 days. The sample consisted of ears from male adult rabbits. Group L (laser): 15 ears treated with laser; group G (glucose 75 percent): 15 ears treated with glucose 75 percent. Primary variables: sclerotic and/or occluded veins. Complementary variables: volume of the managed substance, complications and weight of rabbit. The sample size was estimated in 30 ears. The statistical analysis was carried out by Fisher''s exact test associated to the Relative Risk (RR), calculating the confidence interval of 95 percent for the mentioned variables. RESULTS: The incidence of sclerosis or venous occlusion in group G was 53 percent (8/15; 95 percentCI: 27-79) and in group L was 20 percent (3/15; 95 percent CI: 4-49). Two-tailed p was 0.1281, RR using the approximation of Katz was 2.66; 95 percentCI: 0.87-8.15. CONCLUSION: The efficiency of the diode laser 980 nm in comparison to glucose 75 percent in occlusion of veins in this experimental model was equivalent.
