ESTUDO DO EFEITO DE GANGLIOSIDEOS EXOGENOS NA REGENERACAO NERVOSA APOS COMPRESSAO E NEURORRAFIA NO NERVO CIATICO DO RATO

The authors studied the possible inductive effect of exogenous gangliosides administrated intra-peritoneal and intra-muscular, in 33 rats, after compression and sutures of sciatic nerve. In the animals suffering compression of the sciatic nerve only, the myelin sheath was preserved with good regeneration of the nerve. There was no statistics difference between the two groups with or without the administration of gangliosides. In the group of rats where section of the sciatic nerve and suture were performed, neuroma of amputation as well as dense cicatricial tissue with inflammatory reaction of foreign body type was noted around the sutures. In conclusion, the formation of neuroma of amputation associated with severe inflammatory reaction had an important role in determining the regeneration of the nerve.

O RATO COMO MODELO EXPERIMENTAL DO DIABETES - ESTUDO CLINICO-LABORATORIAL

In this study, 90 Wistar rats were used. They were equally divided into three experimental groups - control group (CG), diabetic group (DG) and treated diabetic group (TG). The analyzed parameters were clinical (behavior, activity, general aspect, weight, water ingestion and diuresis) and biochemical (fasting glycemia and urinary glycosis). The diabetes was induced by alloxan and, then, treated with insulin associated to oral hypoglycemic (acarbosis). Observations were made at 5 experimental moments, as it follows: 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the diabetes induction. The results were submitted to variance analysis, with 5% of significance level. The DG presented lower weight and higher diuresis level than the CG and TG. The water ingestion of the CG was similar to TG. The glycemia levels were higher in DG than in CG, at every experimental moment. The TG, however, presented glycemia similar to the CG, except for the dosages at 3, and 9 months. They urinary glycosis of the DG and TG were similar between themselves, but higher than the one of the CG.

Características ultraestruturais do segmento abdominal da aorta de rato albino

The objective of the present research was to investigate the ultrastructural peculiarities of the aortic wall of the rat. Seven young adult rats were used, from which fragments of the infrarenal abdominal aorta were collected. After collection, the vascular segments were fixed and sent for analysis by scanning electron microscope. The elastic lamellae appear interposed with smooth muscular fibers; this pattern was verified mainly at the medial layer structure. Among the mural elements a well defined interrelationship was established through connective lamellae of the arterial wall. The collagen lamellae mainly provided anchoring among the elastic and smooth muscular constituents. The intimal layer showed special ultrastructural features, such as a non-continuous inner elastic lamina presented in certain sites of the vascular wall, followed by endothelial pores. This mural pattern of the abdominal aorta provided support to vascular functions such as shrinkage among the laminar composition of the arterial layers, also acting in mechanical properties of the vascular wall, such as viscoelasticity and contractility - essential actions to blood vessel hemodynamics.
