ABSTRACT

A membrana amniótica (MA) consolidou-se no tratamento de afecções na superfície ocular. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a viabilidade do implante de MA equina em ceratoplastia lamelar de cães. As membranas amnióticas foram preservadas em glicerina (98%). A eficácia do implante foi acompanhada por avaliação clínica, tempo de cicatrização, resposta inflamatória e reconstrução da arquitetura da córnea. Foram selecionados 12 cães, que foram divididos em quatro grupos de três animais. Em cada animal, foi realizada ceratotomia lamelar com 5 mm de diâmetro, seguida de aplicação do implante de MA. Após cirurgia, os animais foram avaliados em diferentes tempos: 2, 7, 21 e 40 dias. Duran- te o período de observação, os exames oftalmológicos foram realizados com intervalo de 48 h e, após a última avaliação, os animais foram submetidos à eutanásia. Os olhos foram enucleados, fixados e corados com hematoxilina-eosina (HE), ácido periódico de Schiff (PAS) e picrossirius. Os implantes foram completamente epitelizados em cerca de 10 dias após a cirurgia. Os neovasos apresentaram involução progressiva a partir de 21 dias e não foram detectados ao final de 40 dias pós-cirurgia, restando apenas uma nébula no local da lesão. À microscopia óptica, observou-se resposta inflama- tória moderada, presença de epitélio pavimentoso estratificado aos sete dias e epitelização completa aos 21 dias. Aos 40 dias, a membrana basal do epitélio apresentou-se reconstituída. Assim, concluímos que a membrana amniótica equina é viável como implante em córnea de cão, sendo incorporada ao estroma e resultando em restabelecimento parcial da transparência.


Amniotic membranes have been successfully used in the treatment of superficial corneal diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of use of equine amniotic membrane (AM) in lamellar keratoplasty of dogs. Amniotic membranes were preserved in glycerol (98%). Implant efficacy was assessed by clinical evaluation, time of healing, in-flammatory response, and the corneal architectural configuration. Twelve dogs were divided into four groups of three animals. In each animal, a 5-mm diameter lamellar keratectomy was performed, and followed by implantation of the AM. The animals were evaluated at the 2th, 7th, 21th, and 40th days after surgery. During this period, ophthalmological exams were performed at 48-h intervals, and the animals were euthanized after the last evaluation. The eyes were enu-cleated, included, fixed, and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE), periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), and picrosirius. Epitheli-zation of the implants was completed in about ten days after surgery. New vessels progressively diminished from 21 days on, were not detected on day 40 after surgery, and only a nebula was observed in the implant area. Optical microscopy revealed a mild inflammatory response, presence of squamous epithelium on day seven, and total epithelization on day 21 after surgery. On day 40, the basal epithelial membrane was shown to be reformed. Therefore, we conclude that use of equine amniotic membranes is feasible as implant for dog cornea since it is incorporated to the corneal stroma, and a relative transparency can be obtained.

ABSTRACT

O período inicial da gestação de bovinos é caracterizado por grandes perdas embrionárias. Considerando a importância deste fator no âmbito da reprodução animal foram estudados os anexos embrionários e fetais bovinos fecundados por monta natural de 15-70 dias de gestação, com o objetivo de estabelecer parâmetros morfométricos da placenta na fase inicial da gestação. Com uso de um paquímetro foram realizadas mensurações do comprimento (crânio caudal), largura (latero lateral) e altura (dorso ventral) das membranas corioalantóide e amniótica. O início da formação dos cotilédones foi observado e quantificado, assim como, o peso placentário. O peso médio do saco gestacional aumentou com o evoluir da idade gestacional, entretanto, o crescimento foi acelerado a partir de 20-30 dias de gestação. O comprimento crânio caudal e dorso ventral da membrana corioalantóide e do âmnio apresentaram crescimento lento e gradual com o evoluir dos períodos gestacionais analisados. Com 30-40 dias de gestação, os primeiro cotilédones já eram visualizados e contatos com facilidade na superfície coriônica. Os períodos de crescimento coincidiram com os maiores índices de perdas gestacionais em bovinos. Os parâmetros aqui analisados poderão servir para futuras investigações dos anexos embrionários de organismos manipulados em laboratório.


The main goal of this morphometrical study was to characterize the development of the extra-embryonic membranes of 15 to 70-day-old bovine embryos obtained by natural mating. With a millimeter paquimeter the cranio-caudal, latero-lateral and dorso-ventral measurements of chorion and amnion were determined. The development of the cotyledons and weight of the gestational sac were observed and quantified. The weight of the gestational sac increased during gestation; however, the growth was faster then 20 to 30 days. The cranial-caudal and dorsal-ventral length of the choriallantois and the amnion developed slowly and gradually with progress of the gestational period, and the cranio-caudal length decreased after 50 to 60 days of gestation, increasing in the next period. After 30 to 40 days of gestation, the first cotyledons were visualized and counted easily in the chorionic surface. The growth periods were the same of the main gestational losses in cattle. The parameters analyzed could be useful for investigations of extra-embryonic membranes in organisms manipulated in the laboratory.

ABSTRACT

We report two cases of band keratopathy who were treated with thick amniotic membrane that contained a basement membrane structure as a graft, after ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid chelation with trephination and blunt superficial lamellar keratectomy in the anterior stroma. In each case, basement membrane was destroyed and calcium plaque invaded into anterior stroma beneath Bowman's membrane. The calcified lesions were removed surgically, resulting in a smooth ocular surface, and the fine structures of band keratopathy were confirmed by pathologic findings. After that, amniotic membrane transplantation was performed to replace the excised epithelium and stroma. Wound healing was completed within 10 days. Stable ocular surface was restored without pain or inflammation. During the mean follow-up period of 13.5 months, no recurrence of band keratopathy was observed. This combined treatment is a safe and effective method for the removal of deep-situated calcium plaque and allowing the recovery of a stable ocular surface.
