Histopathology and laser autofluorescence of ischemic kidneys of rats

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the severity of renal ischemia/reperfusion injury as determined by histology and by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) with excitation wavelengths of 442 nm and 532 nm. Wistar rats (four groups of six animals) were subjected to left renal warm ischemia for 20, 40, 60 and 80 min followed by 10 min of reperfusion. Autofluorescence was determined before ischemia (control) and then every 5-10 min thereafter. Tissue samples for histology were harvested from the right kidne… Show more

“…[1][2][3][4] Kidney tissue induces high levels of AF, and the intensity of AF has been used to assess severity of tubular necrosis 5 and the degree of damage in ischemic kidney. [6][7][8] However, AF is an obstacle to immunofluorescence (IF) analysis that can either mask or interfere with specific fluorescent signals, 9,10 especially those with weak IF labeling, including direct IF and multiple-color fluorescence staining. In addition to intrinsic fluorescence of kidney is AF that arises from the tissue-processing techniques, including fixation agents such as glutaraldehyde 11 and embedding material such as paraffin.…”

“…Órgãos provenientes de doadores falecidos são frequentemente submetidos às condições extremas tais como instabilidade hemodinâmica, condições clínicas adversas dos doadores limítrofes (idosos vítimas de acidentes vasculares cerebrais, por exemplo), tempo prolongado de parada cardíaca, e muitas vezes, são descartados devido a lesões irreversíveis ligadas à isquemia. Até o presente momento, com exceção da biópsia realizada no momento da retirada do enxerto, nenhum método prático e fidedigno encontra-se disponível para quantificar a existência de potencial dano isquêmico irreversível nos órgãos ofertados para transplantes (FITZGERALD, 2005;TIRAPELLI, 2009).…”

“…Como descrito anteriormente, o laser de excitação penetra de maneira extremamente superficial (100 µm) no parênquima renal, porém é nesta região de alcance, que se encontram os alvos de interesse principal, os glomérulos e os túbulos contornados proximais, objetivos também das biópsias a céu aberto ou por punção (DEMOS, 1997), e não a região medular do órgão. Sabe-se que a propagação do laser no tecido depende da intensidade da luz, do tipo de tecido estudado bem como do comprimento de onda utilizado, sendo que a capacidade de penetração no tecido aumenta com o aumento do comprimento de onda de excitação (FITZGERALD, 2004;MELO, 2001;TIRAPELLI, 2009).…”
