Purpose: To verify if the composit poli (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-PolyHEMA/polypropylene mesh implanted in the female rat's abdominal wall could be suitable for the prevention of peritoneal adhesions, and for the evaluation of the tecidual response produced by this biomaterial. Methods: Polypropylene meshes (Group PP, n=20) and polypropylene meshes coated with a layer of poli (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-PolyHEMA (Group PH, n=20) were implanted on the abdominal wall of Wistar female rats. Ten animals from each group were submitted to euthanasia at 15 and 30 days of the postoperative period. Results: The animals from the group PP presented visceral adhesions on the mesh surface, which was not observed in the ones from group PH. At the histopathological examination foreign body response was observed in both groups, whilst there was a greater intensity of inflammatory response in group PH on both moments. Conclusion: The poli (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) polyHEMA hydrogel associated to polypropylene mesh reduces visceral adhesion formation in rats, although it may be associated to greater inflammatory reaction.

RESUMOObjetivo: Verificar se compósito poli 2-hidroxietil dimetacrilato (PoliHEMA) / tela de polipropileno implantado na parede abdominal de ratas seria adequado para prevenção de aderências peritoneais e avaliar a resposta tecidual desencadeada por este biomaterial. Métodos: Foram implantadas telas de polipropileno -Grupo PP (n=20) e telas de polipropileno revestidas por uma camada de poli 2 (hidroxietil dimetacrilato)-PolyHEMA -Grupo PH (n=20) na parede abdominal de ratas da linhagem Wistar. Dez animais de cada grupo foram submetidos à eutanásia aos 15 e 30 dias de pós-operatório. Resultados: Os animais do grupo PP apresentaram aderências viscerais na superfície da tela, o que não foi observado nos do grupo PH. Observou-se no exame histopatológico resposta tipo corpo estranho nos dois grupos sendo que no grupo PH houve maior intensidade de resposta inflamatória nos dois momentos. Conclusão: O hidrogel de poliHEMA quando associado à tela de polipropileno reduz a formação de aderências viscerais em ratos, embora possa estar associado à reação inflamatória mais intensa.
RESUMOA hérnia perineal acomete mais freqüentemente cães machos de meia idade e idosos, não castrados, podendo ser uni ou bilateral. A apresentação desta doença na fêmea pode ser sugestiva de alguma alteração estrutural no colágeno que leva às alterações da matriz extracelular. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever um caso de hérnia perineal associada à colagenopatia em uma cadela. Foi examinada uma cadela Pinscher de 3 anos de idade, portadora de hérnia perineal bilateral. Foi observado hiperextensibilidade da pele. Este animal foi submetido á reparação da hérnia onde havia laceração da pele durante a dermorrafia. Foi realizada biópsia e coloração com HE e as alterações observadas foram diminuição do número de fibras colágenas na derme, que apresentavam aparente desordem na sua estrutura, notando-se raros feixes de fibras com acentuada fragmentação. Foi possível concluir que os achados clínicos e alterações histopatológicas são compatíveis com astenia cutânea na cadela. ABSTRACTMajority of cases the perineal hernia occur in intact male dogs that are middle-aged, sexually intact, and it may be unilateral or bilateral. That presentation of this illness in the bicth can be suggestive of some structural alteration in the collagen that leads to the alterations of the extracellular matrix. The purpose of this paper was to describe a case of perineal hernia associated to the collagenopathy in a bicth. An 3-years-old bitch was evaluated with perineal hernia bilateral. Hyperextensibility of the skin was observed. The perineal hernia was surgically repaired and it was observed laceration of the skin during the suture. It was carried through biopsy and HE staining. Histopathological examinations revealed alterations at the distribution and conformation of collagen fibers. There was rarefaction of connective tissue. Collagen fibers were shorten and frequently fragmented. It was possible to conclude that the clinical findings and histopathologics alterations are compatible with cutaneous asthenia in this dog.
