Stem Cells Hematopoietic Niches and Inflammatory Response to Different Synthetic Prosthesis Implanted in Rat With Incisional Hernias

Abstract

Background: Extramedullary hematopoiesis depends on complex pathophysiological mechanisms linked to hematopoietic stem cells and the proteins considered mediators of the inflammation. The identification of hematopoietic cells outside bone marrow in the adult is an occurrence that can occasionally follows the inflammatory response, was considered a secondary occurrence, but current biomolecular studies have changed that concept. Aim: Describe the presence of clusters of precursor cells of platelets (megakaryocytes), and cells of the inflammatory response in the abdominal wall and spleen of rats with experimentally induced incisional hernias and repaired with different synthetic prostheses. Methods: Twenty-five rats with incisional hernias previously performed, were divided into groups of five animals each: Group 1, repair of the hernia defect without prosthetic implant; Group 2, repair with polypropylene prosthesis; Group 3, repair using polypropylene with low weight; Group 4, the use of polypropylene and polyglecaprone prosthesis; Group 5, of polypropylene and polyglactin prosthesis. All prostheses were cut in rhombus format with area 2,625 cm². The animals were reoperated after 10 days, the abdominal walls were removed with the viscera attached to them and the material was processed for histological study. Results: Megakaryocyte niches in the abdominal wall and spleen, occasionally removed together with the adhesions produced in animals with implantation of prostheses and significant inflammatory reaction. Conclusion: The intense inflammatory reaction due to the prostheses with polypropylene in their composition was disproportionate to the expected response, indicating that further studies should be accomplished including immunophenotyping evaluation and specific panels of monoclonal antibodies to better understand the findings.

Effect of red propolis on hamster cheek pouch angiogenesis in a new sponge implant model

“…Giant cells (clusters of macrophages) are a common finding in chronic inflammation, triggered by the presence of agents with low immune activity, such as non-absorbable materials 28 .The water control group and the propolis group differed significantly with regard to the number of giant cells (p≤ 0.001), suggesting red propolis has anti-inflammatory activity.…”

Comparative Analysis of Tissular Response After Abdominal Wall Repair Using Polypropylene Mesh and Bovine Pericardium Mesh

“…Polypropylene is a synthetic material that produces little tissue reaction and good tensile strength, which strength lasts for several years after its use in living organisms. However, even with this possible choice, the use of meshes still has several side effects 4 , such as increased postoperative pain, abdominal adhesions and areas of fibrosis and increased risk of infection due to the placement of the prosthesis 18 .…”

Relationship between platelet distribution width and hospital stay in incarcerated inguinal hernia treated by open surgery

“…Post-operative pain, recurrence, expensive technique, type of anesthesia and time to return to work are among the topics discussed. Wasing time in the surgery of external hernia is associated with extended hospitalazation and a prolonged intensive care, hence resulting in unexpected health costs, in addition to altered mortality and morbidity 4,5 .…”
