Análise histomorfométrica do reparo ósseo em tíbias de ratos castrados submetidos ao efeito do alendronato sódico

This study used histomorphometric analysis to investigate the effect of sodium alendronate, used for the treatment of osteoporosis, on the repair of surgically-induced bone defects in the tibia of castrated rats. Methods: The castrated animals were given subcutaneous injections of sodium alendronate (0.7mg/Kg) diluted in saline once a week; the control animals were given the same dose of saline. At 16, 30 and 44 days after the first injection of sodium alendronate, the animals were sacrificed and the right tibias were removed and processed for histomorphometric analysis. The volumetric bone mineral density was estimated by a reticular grid (25 points) attached to a light microscope. The number of points on the bone tissue was counted in the histological sections, totaling 100 points/animal. Results: The results revealed that sodium alendronate stimulated bone formation in castrated rats in all occasions, mainly at 16 and 30 days. Conclusion: Sodium alendronate affects mineral homeostasis, promoting bone repair.

Avaliação dos dados obtidos em um programa de esterilização cirúrgica de gatos em Araçatuba, SP no período de 1996 a 2010

Cats are gradually occupying a more important position as pets and this preference is a result of how easy cat maintenance in an urban environment is, even though they are very prolific and need surgical sterilization. This paper aims at evaluating obtained data within 15 years of research in a university service program that offers free cats sterilization surgery. We carried out a statistical analysis of data shown in the records of animals treated by the program. Surgical sterilization was performed on 647 animals (409 females – 63% and 238 males – 37%). Unilateral cryptorchidism was observed in 9 (3.8%) male cats. Forty (10%) female cats were pregnant at the time of the surgery and the treatment with contraceptives was observed in 67 (16.4%) female cats. One death occurred during anesthesia recovery and 2 cats were euthanized because of wound infection, totalizing an amount of 0.5% of severe complications. From 1996 to 2004, 212 female cats were spayed (122 adults and 90 prepubertal) and during that time two different approaches for ovariohysterectomy were compared: flank laparotomy and ventral midline celiotomy. The flank laparotomy approach was used in only 46 female cats (21.7%) due to some disadvantages observed – the need of an incision on each flank in prepubertal or nulliparous animals and the difficulty or impossibility of total uterus removal. In the same period, 105 male cats underwent orchiectomy via an open technique in which the spermatic cord was linked with nylon thread. From 2005 to 2010, 197 females (106 adults and 91 prepubertal) were spayed. The minilaparotomy technique was used to perform ovariohysterectomy on 139 female cats (70.6%). In this procedure, ovaries and uterus were exteriorized in a blind fashion with a hook through a small midline incision. The traditional midline ovariohysterectomy, which incision length permits direct visualization of the ovaries and uterus, had to be performed in 58 (29.4%) female cats due to advanced pregnancy, full urinary bladder during surgery or obesity. Over the past 6 years, 133 male cats (48 adults and 85 prepubertal) were castrated by means of an open technique in which the spermatic cord was tied to itself. The demand for surgeries during the project demonstrated that people are becoming aware concerning the importance of sterilization when facing cat overpopulation and abandonment.
