“…The inhibitory effect of carbon dioxide is enhanced at colder temperatures, and it may be diminished above lOoC (Gill and DeLacy, 1991). Also, inhibition of bacteria by carbon dioxide is more effective on meat with low initial contamination, which emphasizes the need for good sanitation.…”

“…Moreover, aerobic bacteria were not found after 1 h in the laparoscopic group. Since carbon dioxide is bacteriostatic on aerobic bacteria [16,18] , this may explain why aerobic bacteria were only detected in blood cultures after laparotomy at this time.…”

AIM:To evaluate acute cholecystitis, complicated by peritonitis, acute phase response and immunological status in patients treated by laparoscopic or open approach. METHODS:From January 2002 to May 2012, we conducted a prospective randomized study on 45 consecutive patients (27 women, 18 men; mean age 58 years). These subjects were taken from a total of 681 patients who were hospitalised presenting similar preoperative findings: acute upper abdominal pain with tenderness, involuntary guarding under the right hypochondrium and/or in the flank; fever higher than 38 ℃, leukocytosis greater than 10 × 10 9 /L or both, and ultrasonographic evidence of calculous cholecystitis possibly complicated by peritonitis. These patients had undergone cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis, complicated by bile peritonitis. Randomly, 23 patients were assigned to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), and 22 patients to open cholecystectomy (OC). Blood samples were collected from all patients before operation and at days 1, 3 and 6 after surgery. Serum bacteraemia, endotoxaemia, white blood cells (WBCs), WBC subpopulations, human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR), neutrophil elastase, interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6, and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 min, at 4, 6, 12, 24 h, and then daily (8 A.M.) until post-operative day 6. RESULTS:The two groups were comparable in the severity of peritoneal contamination as indicated by the viable bacterial count (open group = 90% of positive cultures vs laparoscopic group = 87%) and endotoxin level (open group = 33.21 ± 6.32 pg/mL vs laparoscopic group = 35.02 ± 7.23 pg/mL). Four subjects in the OC group (18.1%) and 1 subject (4.3%) in the LC group (P < 0.05) developed intra-abdominal abscess. Severe leukocytosis (range 15.8-19.6/mL) was observed only after OC but not after LC, mostly due to an increase in neutrophils (days 1 and 3, P < 0.05). This value returned to the normal range within 3-4 d after LC and 5-7 d after OC. Other WBC types and lymphocyte subpopulations showed no significant variation. On the first day after surgery, a statistically significant difference was observed in HLA-DR expression between LC (13.0 ± 5.2) and OC (6.0 ± 4.2) (P < 0.05). A statistically significant change in plasma elastase concentration was recorded post-operatively at days 1, 3, and 6 in patients from the OC group when compared to the LC group (P < 0.05). In the OC group, the serum levels of IL-1 and IL-6 began to increase considerably from the first to the sixth hour after surgery. In the LC group, the increase of serum IL-1 and IL-6 levels was delayed and the peak values were notably lower than those in the OC group. Significant differences between the groups, for these two cytokines, were observed from the second to the twenty-fourth hour (P < 0.05) after surgery. The mean values of serum CRP in the LC group on post-operative days (1 and 3) were also lower than those in the OC group (P < 0.05). Systemic concentration of endotoxin was higher in the OC grou...

“…The reason for CO 2 pneumoperitoneum reducing the severity of bacteriemia was attributed to the bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect of CO 2 itself. [14,28,36,40] Gill et al [11] demonstrated the bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect of CO 2 on E. coli.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Using CO 2 as an antimicrobial agent in the food industry may be considered as evidence for this opinion. [11] In contrast, others think that pneumoperitoneum has a potential worsening effect on underlying intraabdominal sepsis. It has been suggested that increasing gas pressure associated with the gases used for pneumoperitoneum and turbulence due to continuous gas infusion facilitate the dissemination of pathogen microorganisms and increase the severity of peritonitis.…”

AMAÇJeneralize peritonit olgularında hala, laparoskopik girişimlerin güvenilirliği ile ilgili kaygılar devam etmektedir. Bu deneysel çalışmada, deneysel peritonit oluşturulan sı-çanlarda karbondioksit (CO 2 ) pnömoperitonyumun enflematuvar cevap ve peritonit şiddeti üzerine etkilerinin araş-tırılması amaçlandı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMÇalışmada 21 Wistar albino cinsi sıçan kullanıldı. Sıçanlar üç gruba ayrıldı. Bunlar; kontrol (grup 1), bakteriyel peritonit oluşturulan grup (grup 2) ve peritonit + CO 2 pnömo-perituan oluşturulan grup (grup 3) idi. İkinci ve üçüncü gruptaki sıçanların periton içine Escherishia coli verilerek peritonit oluşturuldu. Üçüncü gruptaki sıçanlarda CO 2 insuflasyonu ile pnömoperitonyum oluşturuldu. Sıçanlar 24 saat sonra öldürüldü, kan ve karın duvarından periton ör-neği alındı. Tüm gruplarda peritonit şiddet skoru, C-reaktif protein düzeyi ve kanda beyaz küre sayısı değerlendirildi. BULGULARPeritonit şiddet skoru, C-reaktif protein düzeyi ve kan beyaz küre sayısı, ikinci ve üçüncü gruplarda, birinci gruba göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Üçüncü grupta değerler, ikinci gruptan anlamlı düzeyde düşük bulundu (p<0,05). SONUÇÇalışmamızın sonuçları, CO 2 pnömoperitonyumun Escherishia coli ile peritonit ve sepsis oluşturulan sıçanlarda peritonit şiddetini ve sistemik enflematuvar yanıtı azalttığı-nı göstermiştir.
