Reporte de caso: síndrome de absorción intravascular en histeroscopia, intoxicación por glicina / Case report: Intravascular absorption syndrome in hysteroscopy, glycine intoxication

El síndrome de absorción intravascular en histeroscopia se origina por la rápida absorción vascular de soluciones isotónicas e hipotónicas utilizadas en irrigación intrauterina, ocasionando hipervolemia y dilución de electrolitos, especialmente hiponatremia. Cuando este síndrome es debido a intoxicación por glicina al 1,5% causa acidosis severa y neurotoxicidad. La incidencia de este síndrome es baja pero puede aumentar por factores como: falta de control de altura de bolsas de irrigación, ausencia de equilibrio de fluidos de soluciones de irrigación, tejidos altamente vascularizados como miomas uterinos y uso de sistema de electrocirugía monopolar. Se reporta el caso de una paciente con miomas uterinos, programada para resección mediante histeroscopia que cursa con síndrome de absorción intravascular por glicina, el temprano diagnóstico y rápido tratamiento intraoperatorio y postoperatorio permitió una evolución favorable. El manejo se basó en el uso de diuréticos, restricción de fluidos y soluciones hipertónicas de sodio.

Intravascular absorption syndrome in hysteroscopy is caused by rapid vascular absorption of isotonic and hypotonic solutions used in intrauterine irrigation, causing hypervolemia and electrolyte dilution, especially hyponatremia. When this syndrome is due to 1.5% glycine toxicity, it causes severe acidosis and neurotoxicity. The incidence of this syndrome is low but may increase due to factors such as: lack of control of the height of irrigation bags, lack of fluid balance in irrigation solutions, highly vascularized tissues such as uterine myomas and use of a monopolar electrosurgery system. The case of a patient with uterine myomas, scheduled for resection by hysteroscopy, who presents with intravascular glycine absorption syndrome, is reported. Early diagnosis and rapid intraoperative and postoperative treatment allowed a favorable evolution. Management was based on the use of diuretics, fluid restriction, and hypertonic sodium solutions.

Evidencia científica y recomendaciones sobre el manejo de la bronquiolitis en pediatria / Cientific evidence and recommendations on the bronchiolitis management in pediatry

En los ámbitos científico e institucional existe controversia sobre el manejo idóneo de la bron- quiolitis en pacientes pediátricos. El objetivo de este trabajo es valorar el nivel de evidencia cientí- fica que existe sobre el manejo de la bronquiolitis para determinar si las recomendaciones actuales son o no adecuadas. Se realizó una revisión sis- temática de artículos científicos consultando di- versas bases de datos, sin restricción de fecha, en los idiomas español e inglés. Se incluyó literatura gris mediante búsqueda manual. No se hicieron restricciones respecto al tipo de estudio. Se re- visaron los resúmenes y en los casos necesarios los artículos completos, teniéndose en cuenta fi- nalmente todos los artículos que incluían apor- tes sobre el manejo adecuado de la bronquiolitis. Como resultado la mayoría de las recomenda- ciones realizadas por las sociedades fueron a tra- vés de guías de práctica clínica o artículos de opinión, concluyendo que no se cuenta con un esquema de tratamiento adecuado para tratar la bronquiolitis aguda, existiendo un manejo erróneo con el uso de esteroides y antibióticos, mientras que uno de los tratamiento más viables y costo efectivos queda en el olvido como es la solución hipertónica al 3%, la cual ha demostra- do reducción de la estancia hospitalaria...(AU)

Uso de Solución Hipertónica en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca aguda como terapia adyuvante a altas dosis de diuréticos / Use of Hypertonic Solution in patients with acute heart failure as adjunctive therapy to high-dose diuretics

Resumen La insuficiencia cardíaca aguda descompensada (ICAD) es una causa común de hospitalización, con repercusiones significativas en los sistemas de salud. El manejo agudo se basa en la reducción de la volemia con diuréticos de asa, sin embargo, un porcentaje de pacientes presenta resistencia o no logra la respuesta clínica esperada con este tratamiento. Una de las medidas que ha comprobado ser efectiva en este contexto, es el uso de solución salina hipertónica (SSH) en conjunto con dosis altas de diuréticos de asa, como medida terapéutica temida por sus posibles repercusiones sobre la función renal y posible sobrecarga de sodio. Objetivos: Determinar si el uso de solución salina hipertónica en pacientes con falla cardiaca aguda e hipervolemia genera un deterioro de la función renal. Determinar la respuesta del Pro-BNP ante el uso de la solución salina hipertónica en pacientes con falla cardiaca aguda como marcador de respuesta terapéutica. Determinar si el uso de solución salina hipertónica aumenta la diuresis sin generar cambios importantes en el sodio. Se muestran datos de pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca aguda descompensada, que tras no presentar mejoría con altas dosis de diurético de asa en bolo, se les aplicó la solución hipertónica como adyuvante a este tratamiento. Se toma un total de 26 pacientes analizando datos generales clínicos y de laboratorio, se valoran curvas con la respuesta diurética y por parámetros de laboratorio a las 48 y 72 horas. El uso de solución salina hipertónica consigue un aumento de más de un 200% de la diuresis en 24 horas, con un descenso del Pro BNP de más de un 60% a las 48 horas, sin mostrar un cambio importante en los niveles de creatinina, nitrógeno ureico y sodio. Se requirió reposición de potasio en la totalidad de los pacientes. Se concluye que la infusión de furosemida más solución hipertónica es efectiva tanto en disminuir niveles de NT Pro-BNP en los pacientes, como en generar un aumento en el volumen de diuresis. La principal complicación fue la hipokalemia, sin cambios considerables en el valor de sodio, creatinina y nitrógeno ureico séricos.

Abstract Uso de Solución Hipertónica en pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca aguda como terapia adyuvante a altas dosis de diuréticos Acute decompensated heart failure (AHF) is a common cause of hospitalization, with significant repercussions on health systems. Acute management is based on the reduction of blood volume with loop diuretics; however, a percentage of patients show resistance or do not achieve the expected clinical response with this treatment. One of the measures that has proven to be effective in this context is the use of hypertonic saline (HSS) in conjunction with high doses of loop diuretics, as a therapeutic measure feared due to its possible repercussions on kidney function and possible sodium overload. Objetives: To determine if the use of hypertonic saline in patients with acute heart failure and hypervolemia leads to a deterioration in renal function. To determine the response of Pro-BNP to the use of hypertonic saline in patients with acute heart failure as a marker of therapeutic response. Determine if the use of hypertonic saline increases urine output without causing significant changes in sodium. Data are shown from patients with acute decompensated heart failure, who after not presenting improvement with high doses of bolus loop diuretic, the hypertonic solution was applied as an adjunct to this treatment. A total of 26 patients are taken analyzing general clinical and laboratory data, curves with the diuretic response and by laboratory parameters are evaluated at 48 and 72 hours. The use of hypertonic saline solution achieves an increase of more than 200% in diuresis in 24 hours, with a decrease in Pro BNP of more than 60% at 48 hours, without showing a significant change in creatinine levels, urea nitrogen and sodium. Potassium replacement was required in all patients. It is concluded that the infusion of furosemide plus hypertonic solution is effective both in reducing levels of NT Pro-BNP in patients, and in generating an increase in the volume of diuresis. The main complication was hypokalemia, without significant changes in serum sodium, creatinine, and urea nitrogen.

Mannitol versus hypertonic saline for brain relaxation in patients undergoing craniotomy

BACKGROUND: Patients with brain tumour usually suffer from increased pressure in the skull due to swelling of brain tissue. A swollen brain renders surgical removal of the brain tumour difficult. To ease surgical tumour removal, measures are taken to reduce brain swelling, often referred to as brain relaxation. Brain relaxation can be achieved with intravenous fluids such as mannitol or hypertonic saline. This review was conducted to find out which of the two fluids may have a greater impact on brain relaxation. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of mannitol versus those of hypertonic saline on intraoperative brain relaxation in patients undergoing craniotomy. METHODS: Search methods: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (2013, Issue 10), Medline via Ovid SP (1966 to October 2013) and Embase via Ovid SP (1980 to October 2013). We also searched specific websites, such as www.indmed.nic.in, www.cochrane-sadcct.org and www.Clinicaltrials.gov. Selection criteria: We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the use of hypertonic saline versus mannitol for brain relaxation. We also included studies in which any other method used for intraoperative brain relaxation was compared with mannitol or hypertonic saline. Primary outcomes were longest follow-up mortality, Glasgow Outcome Scale score at three months and any adverse events related to mannitol or hypertonic saline. Secondary outcomes were intraoperative brain relaxation, intensive care unit (ICU) stay, hospital stay and quality of life. Data collection and analysis: We used standardized methods for conducting a systematic review, as described by the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Two review authors independently extracted details of trial methodology and outcome data from reports of all trials considered eligible for inclusion. All analyses were made on an intention-to-treat basis. We used a fixed-effect ...

Distrofia de la membrana basal epitelial / epithelial basal membrane dystrophy

La distrofia de Cogan es la distrofia corneal anterior más común, frecuente en adultos del sexo femenino, entre 40-70 años de edad. Presentamos un caso de una paciente de 50 años de edad, del sexo femenino, quien refiere visión borrosa, lagrimeo y fotofobia. Al examen de la córnea en lámpara de hendidura se observan imágenes de color grisáceo en forma de huellas dactilares y de mapa. Esta afección es causada por alteraciones de la membrana basal epitelial que provoca la separación parcial o total del epitelio corneal. Generalmente asintomática, es la causa más frecuente de erosión corneal recurrente. Las opciones terapéuticas varían desde lubricantes, soluciones hipertónicas tópicas, lentes de contacto de vendaje, desbridamiento del epitelio central, micropunciones mecánicas o diatermia y fotoqueratectomía con láser excímer.

Cogan's dystrophy is the most common anterior corneal dystrophy in adult females aged 40-70 years of age. Here is a 50 years-old female patient suffering from blurred vision, weeping eyes and photophobia. On examination, grayish images were observed in the form of fingerprints and map. This disease is caused by alterations of the epithelial basal membrane bringing about partial or total removal of the corneal epithelium. Often asymptomatic, it is the most common cause of recurrent corneal erosion. Treatment options range from lubricants, topical hypertonic solutions, bandage contact lenses, central epithelial debridement, mechanical or diathermy micropuncture and excimer laser photokeratectomy.

Influence of environmental hypertonicity on the induction of ureogenesis and amino acid metabolism in air-breathing walking catfish (Clarias batrachus, Bloch).

Effect of environmental hypertonicity, due to exposure to 300 mM mannitol solution for 7 days, on the induction of ureogenesis and also on amino acid metabolism was studied in the air-breathing walking catfish, C. batrachus, which is already known to have the capacity to face the problem of osmolarity stress in addition to other environmental stresses in its natural habitats. Exposure to hypertonic mannitol solution led to reduction of ammonia excretion rate by about 2-fold with a concomitant increase of urea-N excretion rate by about 2-fold. This was accompanied by significant increase in the levels of both ammonia and urea in different tissues and also in plasma. Further, the environmental hypertonicity also led to significant accumulation of different non-essential free amino acids (FAAs) and to some extent the essential FAAs, thereby causing a total increase of non-essential FAA pool by 2-3-fold and essential FAA pool by 1.5-2.0-fold in most of the tissues studied including the plasma. The activities of three ornithine-urea cycle (OUC) enzymes such as carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinate lyase in liver and kidney tissues, and four key amino acid metabolism-related enzymes such as glutamine synthetase, glutamate dehydrogenase (reductive amination), alanine aminotransaminase and aspartate aminotransaminase were also significantly up-regulated in different tissues of the fish while exposing to hypertonic environment. Thus, more accumulation and excretion of urea-N observed during hypertonic exposure were probably associated with the induction of ureogenesis through the induced OUC, and the increase of amino acid pool was probably mainly associated with the up-regulation of amino acid synthesizing machineries in this catfish in hypertonic environment. These might have helped the walking catfish in defending the osmotic stress and to acclimatize better under hypertonic environment, which is very much uncommon among freshwater teleosts.

Uso de soluções hipertônicas para preservação hepática em ratos / Use of hypertonic solutions for liver preservation in rats

RACIONAL: O sucesso de um transplante depende, principalmente, da viabilidade do enxerto, sendo que, atualmente, o maior ponto de dificuldade concentra-se na tríade preservação-rejeição-infecção. Existem diversos componentes específicos das soluções de preservação que previnem danos. Destes componentes o fator osmótico tem se destacado como de prevenção do edema e posterior morte celular, sugerindo possível vantagem na utilização de soluções hipertônicas para preservação de órgãos. OBJETIVO: Comparar soluções hipertônicas como alternativas para preservação hepática. MÉTODO: Foram utilizados 105 ratas Wistar distribuídas em Grupo Padrão (GP, n=5) para controle e cinco grupos experimentais com 20 animais cada, a saber: Grupo Eurocollins (GE), Grupo Soro Fisiológico 0,9% (GF), Grupo Glicose 50% (GG), Grupo Manitol 20% (GM), Grupo Salgadão - NaCl 7,5% (GS). Todos os animais dos grupos experimentos foram ainda distribuídos em quatro subgrupos de acordo com o seu tempo de coleta em: 0 h, 2 h, 6 h e 12 h. Foram avaliados a viabilidade celular a partir da reação com Methyl Thiazolyl Blue (MTT), além das dosagens de lactato e de alanino amino-transferase (ALT). RESULTADOS: Em relação à dosagem de lactato, foi possível observar relativa melhora das soluções hipertônicas em comparação à eurocollins, sendo que em 12 h, o GE e o GS não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante (p>0,05). Quando avaliada a viabilidade celular, as absorbâncias ao MTT também demonstraram resultados favoráveis ao GS, visto que, não apresentou diferença estatística em relação ao GE. CONCLUSÃO: A solução de NaCl 7,5% apresentou resultados mais promissores para preservação de órgãos com capacidade de preservação comparável à solução de eurocollins.

BACKGROUND: The success of a transplant depends mainly on the viability of the graft, which is currently the main point of difficulty focuses on the triad preservation-rejection-infection. There are several specific components of preservation solutions that could prevent certain tissue damage. From these components, the osmotic factor has been highlighted as a factor in preventing edema and subsequent cell death, suggesting a possible advantage in the use of hypertonic solutions for organ preservation. AIM: To compare different hypertonic solutions as alternative to liver preservation. METHOD: A total of 105 Wistar rats were divided in Standard Group (GP, n=5 rats), to verify the normal range of the study, and five experimental groups of 20 rats each, according to the preservation solution used: Group Eurocollins (GE), Group Saline 0.9% (GF), Group Glucose 50% (GG), Group Mannitol 20% (GM), Group Salty - NaCl 7.5% (GS). All animals in experimental group were also divided into four subgroups according to the time of collection in: 0 h, 2 h, 6 h and 12 h. Was assessed cell viability by the reaction with Methyl Blue Thiazolyl (MTT) and the dosages of lactate and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). RESULTS: Regarding the lactate level, was observed a relative improvement of hypertonic solutions compared to eurocollins, and in 12 h, the GE and GS showed no statistically significant difference (p> 0.05). When assessed cell viability, absorbance at MTT also demonstrated favorable results to the GS, since no statistically significant difference in relation to GE. CONCLUSION: The 7.5% NaCl solution showed promising results for organ preservation, presenting parameters and capability comparable to eurocollins preservation solution.

Differentiation between Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis using hypertonic Sabouraud broth and tobacco agar / Diferenciação entre Candida albicans e Candida dubliniensis usando caldo Sabouraud hipertônico e ágar Tabaco

INTRODUCTION: Opportunistic fungal infections in immunocompromised hosts are caused by Candida species, and the majority of such infections are due to Candida albicans. However, the emerging pathogen Candida dubliniensis demonstrates several phenotypic characteristics in common with C. albicans, such as production of germ tubes and chlamydospores, calling attention to the development of stable resistance to fluconazole in vitro. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of biochemistry identification in the differentiating between C. albicans and C. dubliniensis, by phenotyping of yeast identified as C. albicans. METHODS: Seventy-nine isolates identified as C. albicans by the API system ID 32C were grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar at 30°C for 24-48h and then inoculated on hypertonic Sabouraud broth and tobacco agar. RESULTS: Our results showed that 17 (21.5%) isolates were growth-inhibited on hypertonic Sabouraud broth, a phenotypic trait inconsistent with C. albicans in this medium. However, the results observed on tobacco agar showed that only 9 (11.4%) of the growth-inhibited isolates produced characteristic colonies of C. dubliniensis (rough colonies, yellowish-brown with abundant fragments of hyphae and chlamydospores). CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that this method is a simple tool for screening C. albicans and non-albicans yeast and for verification of automated identification.

INTRODUÇÃO: Infecções fúngicas oportunistas em hospedeiros imunocomprometidos são causadas por espécies de Candida, cuja maioria das infecções se deve a Candida albicans. Entretanto, o patógeno emergente Candida dubliniensis demonstra várias características fenotípicas em comum com C. albicans, tais como produção de tubo germinativo e clamidósporos, solicitando atenção por desenvolver resistência in vitro estável ao fluconazol. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a performance da identificação bioquímica na diferenciação entre C. albicans e Candida dubliniensis, analisando fenotipicamente leveduras previamente identificadas como C. albicans. MÉTODOS: Setenta e oito isolados identificados como C. albicans pelo sistema API ID 32C foram cultivados em ágar Sabouraud dextrose a 30°C por 24-48h e em seguida inoculados em caldo hipertônico Sabouraud e agar tabaco. RESULTADOS: Nossos resultados mostraram que 17 (21,5%) isolados tiveram o crescimento inibido no caldo hipertônico Sabouraud, característica fenotípica inconsistente para C. albicans neste meio de cultura. Entretanto, os resultados observados em ágar tabaco mostraram que somente 9 (11,4%) dos isolados inibidos produziram colônias características de C. dubliniensis (colônias rugosas, marrom-amarelada com fragmentos de hifas e abundantes clamidósporos). CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados obtidos sugerem que este é um instrumento simples para triagem entre leveduras de C. albicans e não-albicans, bem como confirmação de identificação automatizada.

Effect of hypertonic saline and macrophage migration inhibitory factor in restoration of T cell dysfunction / 대한외과학회지

PURPOSE: Trauma-induced suppression of cellular immune function likely contributes to sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death. T cell proliferation decreases after traumatic stress. The addition of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which depresses immune function after hemorrhage and trauma, to T-cells decreases T-cell proliferation; and hypertonic saline restores PGE2-induced T-cell suppression. Recently, it has become apparent that macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) plays a central role in several immune responses, including T-cell proliferation. However, the role of MIF in mediating hypertonic saline (HTS) restoration of T cell dysfunction is unknown. Therefore, we hypothesize that T cell immune restoration by HTS occurs, at least in part, by a MIF-mediated mechanism. METHODS: Jurkat cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute media, at a final concentration of 2.5 x 106 cell/mL. The effects of HTS on T-cell proliferation following PGE2-induced suppression were evaluated in Jurkat cells: HTS at 20 or 40 mmol/L above isotonicity was added. MIF levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and western blot analysis. RESULTS: PGE2 caused a 15.0% inhibition of Jurkat cell proliferation, as compared to the control. MIF levels decreased in PGE2-suppressed cells, as compared to the control. MIF levels were higher in cells treated with HTS than PGE2-stimulated cells. CONCLUSION: The role of HTS in restoring Jurkat cells proliferation suppressed by PGE2, at least in part, should be mediated through a MIF pathway.

Mecanismos de hipoperfusão tecidual na sepse experimental e efeitos da reposição volêmica com solução salina hipertônica-isoncótica e pentoxifilina / Mechanisms of tissue hypoperfusion in experimental sepsis and effects of volume resuscitation with hypertonic-isoncotic saline solution and pentoxiphylline

A instabilidade hemodinâmica que é verificada no choque séptico tem como componente a redução da perfusão dos tecidos, que conhecidamente agrava a sua morbi-mortalidade. Sabendo-se disso, a escolha precoce e correta da terapia a ser instituída, incluindo o tipo e o tempo de administração de fluidos, é importante para que se aumente a taxa de sobrevivência desses pacientes. Deste modo, este experimento foi delineado para melhor compreender macro e micro hemodinamicamente esta síndrome, com o intuito de verificar os efeitos do tratamento precoce com a solução hipertônica-isoncótica e pentoxifilina em suínos em choque séptico experimental. Para tanto, avaliou-se os efeitos da solução hipertônica-isoncótica (Hyperhaes®) frente a sua associação ou não à pentoxifilina, em comparação ao cristalóide Ringer lactato. Foram utilizados 29 suínos machos e fêmeas com 29 kg em média. O choque séptico foi induzido por solução intravascular (0,6 x 1010 ufc/kg) da cepa O55 enteropatogênica de Escherichia coli, administrada durante 60 minutos. Os animais foram observados sem intervenção por 30 minutos e o tratamento foi escolhido randomicamente: grupo Ringer lactato (32ml/kg em 20 minutos, n=9); solução hipertônica-isoncótica (4 ml/kg em 5 minutos, n=7); solução hipertônica-isoncótica com pentoxifilina (4ml/kg e 25mg/kg, respectivamente, em 5 minutos, n=8) e grupo Controle (sem tratamento, n=5). Os animais receberam solução fisiológica 0,9% como fluidoterapia de manutenção (10 ml/kg/hora) sem qualquer outra intervenção além dos tratamentos estipulados em cada grupo, ao longo do período de avaliação. Foi realizada avaliação hemodinâmica bem como da ventilação e oxigenação. Nos tempos 120 e 150 minutos observou-se a saturação venosa mista de oxigênio dos animais e no caso desta se encontrar abaixo de 70% fez-se novo fluido de resgate (grupos HS e HSPTX receberam 32 ml/kg de solução fisiológica 0,9% em 20 minutos e grupo RL, 32 ml/kg de Ringer Lactato, também em 20 min.)...

The septic shock hemodynamic instability has as major component the reduction of tissue perfusion, which is known to aggravate morbidity and mortality. Knowing this, the early and correct choice of therapy to be instituted, including the type and time of fluid inoculation is an important step to help increase the survival rate of these patients. Thus, this experiment was designed to better understand the macro and micro-hemodynamic events of this syndrome, in order to verify the perfusion effects of early treatment with hypertonic-isoncotic saline solution and pentoxiphylline in septic shocked pigs. We studied the effects of hypertonic-isoncotic saline solution (Hyperhaes ®) compared to its association or not to pentoxiphylline, and compared to crystalloid Ringer lactate. We used 29 male and female pigs of 29kg on average. Septic shock was induced by an intravascular solution (0.6 x 1010 cfu/kg) of an enteropathogenic strain (O55) of Escherichia coli for 60 minutes. The animals were observed without intervention for 30 minutes and treatment was chosen randomly: group Ringer lactate (32ml/kg in 20 minutes, n = 9); hypertonic-isoncotic saline solution (4 ml/kg in 5 minutes, n = 7); hypertonic-isoncotic saline solution with pentoxiphylline (4ml/kg and 25mg/kg, respectively, in 5 minutes, n = 8) and Control group (no treatment, n = 5). The animals received maintenance fluid (10 ml/kg/hour 0.9% saline solution) without any other intervention than the treatments of each group during the evaluation period. Hemodynamic, ventilation and oxygenation assessments were performed. The mixed venous oxygen saturation was observed at 120 and 150 minutes and when it was below 70% a new fluid therapy was given (HSPTX and HS groups received 32 ml/kg of saline solution 0.9% in 20 minutes and RL group 32 ml/kg Ringer's lactate also in 20 min.). Tissue samples of the heart, lungs, jejunum, colon, liver and kidneys were collected for histopathological examination and kept...

Histologic alterations of rat kidneys perfused with a Euro-Collins diltiazem solution / Alterações histológicas ocorridas em rins de ratos perfundidos com solução de Euro-Collins associada à diltiazem

PURPOSE: Analyse the histologic changes of rat kidneys perfused with isotonic saline solution (ISS), Euro-Collins solution (ECS) and Euro-Collins solution with diltiazem (ECSD). METHODS: Thirty-six Wistar rats were used divided equally, as follow: group A (ISS), group B (ECS) and group C (ECSD). Through a catheter placed into the abdominal aorta, a renal perfusion was performed using a solution according to the group to which the animal belonged. After the complete perfusion, bilateral nephrectomy was performed and the organs were preserved under hypothermia for five distinct periods of time. Glomerulus and tubule were evaluated through optical microscopy. RESULTS: Renal perfusion with ECS and ECSD proved effectiveness in the preservation of the organs up to 36 hours and an increase in the percentage of injured glomeruli was noticed only in the period of 48 hours. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that exists an association between the tubular injury and the glomeruli lesion degree; kidneys with a higher degree of tubular damage were related to severe glomerular lesion. Also, the addition of a calcium channel blocker, diltiazem, to the ECS for the renal perfusion does not decrease the percentage of glomerular lesion.

OBJETIVO: Analisar as alterações histológicas nos rins de ratos perfundidos com solução salina isotônica (ISS), solução Euro-Collins (ECS) e solução Euro-Collins com diltiazem (ECSD). MÉTODOS: Foram divididos, de forma igual, 36 ratos Wistar, como se segue: grupo A (ISS), grupo B (ECS), grupo C (ECSD). Através de um cateter localizado na aorta abdominal, foi realizada a perfusão renal com a solução de acordo com o grupo ao qual o animal pertencia. Após a perfusão total, realizou-se nefrectomia bilateral com a preservação dos órgãos sob hipotermia por cinco períodos distintos de tempo. Glomérulos e túbulos foram avaliados por microscopia óptica. RESULTADOS: Tanto a perfusão renal com ECS quanto a com ECSD provaram sua efetividade na preservação dos órgãos em até 36 horas e aumento da porcentagem de glomérulos injuriados foi notada apenas no período de 48 horas. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados mostraram haver uma correlação entre a injúria tubular e o grau de lesão glomerular; rins com um maior grau de dano tubular foram relacionados com lesão glomerular severa. Além disso, a adição de um bloqueador de canal de cálcio, diltiazem, à ECS para a perfusão renal não diminui a porcentagem de lesão glomerular.

A literature review was performed, comprising MEDLINE, LILACS and Cochrane Library databases with the keywords burn,fluid resuscitation, shock and child, from 1993 to 2008...

Curso de Atualização em Emergências Médicas: aula 19: reposição volêmica / Course of Updating in Medical Emergencies: class 19: volemic replacement

Hipovolemia em pacientes agudamente enfermos é um evento relativamente comum, e com importância clínica para o paciente, sendo a rápida e vigorosa reposição volêmica capaz de diminuir o risco de morte inicialmente e de evolução para falência renal na sequência. Neste artigo revisaremos os diferentes tipos de expansores, suas propriedades, vantagens e desvantagens. Os cristaloides se mantêm como preferência pela segurança, eficácia e baixo custo, com a desvantagem da importante formação de edema. As soluções hipertônicas têm indicação no atendimento pré-hospitalar por ser eficaz, porém com estabilização hemodinâmica de caráter efêmero, e pela possibilidade de distúrbios eletrolíticos. Estudos clínicos randomizados não demonstraram superioridade da albumina aos cristalóides e assim como são de custo alto ficam como segunda alternativa ou casos selecionados.

Hypovolemia in critically ill patients is a common event in intensive care patients, and it is clinically relevant for the patient. The fluid replacement is used to try to reduce risk of death and evolution to renal failure. In this article we review different types of expansors, their properties, advantages and disadvantages. Crystalloids are indicated for the safety, efficacy and low cost, the only disadvantage is oedema formation. Hypertonic crystalloid are indicated only in prehospitalar fluid resuscitation, because of your efficacy, but for a short period of time, and the possibility of hydroeletrolitic derangements. There is no evidence that colloids are more effective than crystalloids in reducing mortality in people who are critically ill or injured, and the high cost, turn them the second choice.

Differential preservation of rabbit kidney and liver tissue in ringer lactate, euro collins and university of wisconsin solutions

Formalin, the most widely used preservative, has certain drawbacks. The foremost of them is interference with immunohistochemistry. To evaluate the efficacy of three commonly used organ preservation solutions for tissue preservation this experimental study was carried out on rabbit kidney and liver The tissue slices were stored in Ringer Lactate, Euro Collins awl University of Wisconsin solutions [UW solution], for various fixed time intervals. The three solutions were used in their original form as well as with addition of antimicrobial agents. Morphological preservation was assessed by a semi quantitative method. Kidney slices showed better morphological preservation than liver tissue. UW solution demonstrated the highest preservation of the three solutions tried. UW solution was especially effective for liver preservation. Addition of anti microbial agents was more beneficial to kidney preservation than liver. Thus it was concluded that organ preservation solutions may be used for tissue preservation as well

Effects of small volume resuscitation on the hemodynamics and extravascular lung water of septic shock dogs / 中国医学科学院学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of small volume resuscitation by hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution on the hemodynamics and extravascular lung water of septic shock dogs.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Lipopolysaccharide of E. coli was injected to 24 healthy dogs via femoral vein to induce septic shock. These septic shock dogs were resuscitated with hypertonic salt solutions (HS, 6 ml/kg, n = 6), 6% hydroxyethyl starch in combination with HS (HSS, 6 ml/kg, n=6), normal saline (NS, 100 ml/kg, n=6), and 6% hydroxyethyl starch solutions (HES, 33 ml/kg, n=6), respectively. The changes of hemodynamics and extravascular lung water were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After resuscitation, all the solutions improved the hemodynamics of septic shock dogs with significant differences (P<0.05). The effects were superior in HS group and HSS group when compared with in NS group. The extravascular lung water increased in NS group, while no obvious changes were found in the other three groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>All these four solutions can improve the hemodynamics of septic shock dogs. Small volume hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution has a similar effect in hemodynamics as NS, HS, and HES. Meanwhile, it does not increase the extravascular lung water.</p>

Protective effect of hypotensive fluid resuscitation against lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in pregnant rabbits with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effects of different fluid resuscitation strategies on superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities in the lung tissue in pregnant rabbits with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty pregnant New Zealand rabbits were randomized into 5 equal groups, namely the sham shock.(SS) group, shock group without interventions (SH group), and hemorrhagic shock groups with conventional normal saline (NS) resuscitation, NS hypotensive resuscitation, and hypertonic hyperosmotic hypotensive resuscitation (NS, NH, HHH groups, respectively) 30 min after the shock. At the end of the experiment, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the lungs were taken for detection of MDA, MPO and SOD levels.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Ischemia-reperfusion injury of the lungs in uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock resulted in decreased SOD and increased MDA and MPO contents. The MDA and MPO contents in HHH group were significantly lower than those in NH group, and both the groups, MDA and MPO contents were significantly lower than those of NS group (P<0.05). SOD activity was significantly higher in HHH group than in NH group (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>In pregnant rabbits with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock, hypotensive resuscitation more effectively ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion injuries in the lungs than aggressive fluid resuscitation, and hyperosmotic crystalloid and hyperonoctic colloid resuscitation provide significant protective effects against such injuries.</p>

Calcium channel blocker and renal mitochondrial function in warm renal ischemia

OBJECTIVE: Ions, particularly calcium ions, play an important role in ischemia-reperfusion cell injury. In this study, we investigated the action of verapamil on the mitochondrial function of kidneys submitted to ischemia without blood reperfusion in order to study isolated early and late ischemic effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 44 rats were submitted to bilateral warm renal ischemia for 30 minutes. The kidneys were then immediately reperfused with saline or Euro-Collins (EC) solution, with and without previous administration of 0.35 mg/kg of verapamil. Mitochondrial function was assessed at the end of renal perfusion and after 24 hours of cold preservation. RESULTS: In kidneys perfused with saline, verapamil allowed a significant early preservation of state III mitochondrial respiration, a result that was no longer evident after 24 hours. In kidneys perfused with EC solution, verapamil did not change state III for either early or late evaluations. Comparison of the groups showed that the results obtained for kidneys perfused with EC were always superior to those obtained for the saline group, except for the initial analysis of kidneys treated with saline and verapamil, which showed results similar to those obtained with EC perfusion alone. CONCLUSION: Administration of verapamil before warm ischemia provides partial and short-lasting functional protection of the mitochondrial function in kidneys perfused with sodium rich saline. With Euro-Collins solution, verapamil did not show any additional beneficial effect. This fact permits us to conclude that protective action is effective only under conditions that facilitate increased sodium uptake and/or potassium loss.
