ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To develop an easily reproducible model of acute lung injury due to experimental muscle trauma in healthy rats.

METHODS:

Eighteen adult Wistar rats were randomized in 3 groups (n=6) G-1- control, G-2 - saline+trauma and G-3 - dexamethasone+trauma. Groups G-1 and G-2 were treated with saline 2,0ml i.p; G-3 rats were treated with dexamethasone (DE) (2 mg/kg body weight i.p.). Saline and DE were applied 2h before trauma and 12h later. Trauma was induced in G-2 and G-3 anesthetized (tribromoethanol 97 percent 100 ml/kg i.p.) rats by sharp section of anterior thigh muscles just above the knee, preserving major vessels and nerves. Tissue samples (lung) were collected for myeloperoxidase (MPO) assay and histopathological evaluation.

RESULTS:

Twenty-four hours after muscle injury there was a significant increase in lung neutrophil infiltration, myeloperoxidase activity and edema, all reversed by dexamethasone in G-3.

CONCLUSION:

Trauma by severance of thigh muscles in healthy rats is a simple and efficient model to induce distant lung lesions.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Desenvolver um modelo facilmente reprodutível de lesão pulmonar aguda decorrente de trauma muscular experimental em ratos sadios.

MÉTODOS:

Dezoito ratos Wistar adultos foram randomizados em 3 grupos (n=6) G-1-controle, G-2 - trauma+salina e G-3 - trauma+dexametasona. Grupos G-1 e G-2 foram tratados com salina 2,0 ml ip, G-3 ratos foram tratados com dexametasona (DE) (2 mg/kg peso corporal ip). Salina e DE foram aplicadas 2h antes e 12h depois do trauma. Trauma foi induzido em ratos G-2 e G-3 anestesiados (tribromoetanol 97 por cento de 100 ml/kg, i.p.) por secção da musculatura anterior da coxa logo acima da articulação do joelho, preservando os grandes vasos e nervos. Amostras de tecido (pulmão) foram coletadas para avaliação da mieloperoxidase (MPO), e exames histopatológicos.

RESULTADOS:

Vinte e quatro horas após a indução da lesão muscular houve um aumento significativo na infiltração de neutrófilos pulmonares, atividade da mieloperoxidase e edema, todos revertidos por dexametasona, no G-3.

CONCLUSÃO:

O trauma decorrente da secção dos músculos da coxa em ratos saudáveis é um modelo simples e eficaz para induzir lesões pulmonares à distância.
