The biodistribution of sodium pertechnetate, the most used radiopharmaceutical in nuclear medicine, has not been studied in details after bariatric surgery. The objective was to investigate the effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on biodistribution of sodium pertechnetate (Na99mTc-) in organs and tissues of rats. Methods: Twelve rats were randomly divided into two groups of 6 animals each. The RYGB group rats were submitted to the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and the control group rats were not operated. After 15 days, all rats were injected with 0.1mL of Na99mTc- via orbital plexus with average radioactivity of 0.66 MBq. After 30 minutes, liver, stomach, thyroid, heart, lung, kidney and femur samples were harvested, weighed and percentage of radioactivity per gram (%ATI/g) of each organ was determined by gama counter Wizard Perkin-Elmer. We applied the Student t test for statistical analysis, considering p<0.05 as significant. Results: Significant reduction in mean %ATI/g was observed in the liver, stomach and femur in the RYGB group animals, compared with the control group rats (p<0.05). In other organs no significant difference in %ATI/g was observed between the two groups. Conclusion: This work contributes to the knowledge that the bariatric surgery RYGB modifies the pattern of biodistribution of Na99mTc

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of exenatide (EXE) treatment on exocrine pancreas of nonhuman primates. To this end, 52 baboons (Papio hamadryas) underwent partial pancreatectomy, followed by continuous infusion of EXE or saline (SAL) for 14 weeks. Histological analysis, immunohistochemistry, Computer Assisted Stereology Toolbox morphometry, and immunofluorescence staining were performed at baseline and after treatment. The EXE treatment did not induce pancreatitis, parenchymal or periductal inflammatory cell accumulation, ductal hyperplasia, or dysplastic lesions/pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia. At study end, Ki-67-positive (proliferating) acinar cell number did not change, compared with baseline, in either group. Ki-67-positive ductal cells increased after EXE treatment (P = 0.04). However, the change in Ki-67-positive ductal cell number did not differ significantly between the EXE and SAL groups (P = 0.13). M-30-positive (apoptotic) acinar and ductal cell number did not change after SAL or EXE treatment. No changes in ductal density and volume were observed after EXE or SAL. Interestingly, by triple-immunofluorescence staining, we detected c-kit (a marker of cell transdifferentiation) positive ductal cells co-expressing insulin in ducts only in the EXE group at study end, suggesting that EXE may promote the differentiation of ductal cells toward a β-cell phenotype. In conclusion, 14 weeks of EXE treatment did not exert any negative effect on exocrine pancreas, by inducing either pancreatic inflammation or hyperplasia/dysplasia in nonhuman primates.

The characteristics of high frequency (1000 Hz) acoustic admittance results obtained from normal neonates were described in this study. Participants were 170 healthy neonates (96 boys and 74 girls) aged between 1 and 6 days (mean = 3.26 days, SD = 0.92). Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs), and 226 Hz and 1000 Hz probe tone tympanograms were obtained from the participants using a Madsen Capella OAE/middle ear analyser. The results showed that of the 170 neonates, 34 were not successfully tested in both ears, 14 failed the TEOAE screen in one or both ears, and 122 (70 boys, 52 girls) passed the TEOAE screen in both ears and also maintained an acceptable probe seal during tympanometry. The 1000 Hz tympanometric data for the 122 neonates (244 ears) showed a single-peaked tympanogram in 225 ears (92.2 %), a flat-sloping tympanogram in 14 ears (5.7 %), a double-peaked tympanogram in 3 ears (1.2 %) and other unusual shapes in 2 ears (0.8 %). There was a significant ear effect, with right ears showing significantly higher mean peak compensated static admittance and tympanometric width, but lower mean acoustic admittance at +200 daPa and gradient than left ears. No significant gender effects or its interaction with ear were found. The normative tympanometric data derived from this cohort may serve as a guide for detecting middle ear dysfunction in neonates.

Justificativa e objetivos: comparou-se a ação de duas drogas coadjuvantes da anestesia, remifentanil e dexmedetomidina, na recuperação anestésica e na evolução do pH e da PaCO2, em pacientes com obesidade mórbida que foram submetidos à cirurgia de Capella. Método: o estudo foi aleatório, prospectivo e duplamente encoberto. Noventa e dois pacientes foram designados a um de dois grupos e submetidos à técnica anestésica (geral/peridural) padronizada. O grupo Remifentanil (Grupo R) e o da Dexmedetomidina (Grupo D) receberam infusão contínua por via venosa destas drogas (0,1 µg.kg-1.min-1 e 0,5 µg.kg-1.h-1 peso ideal mais 30% para ambas) logo após a intubação traqueal. Os pacientes foram monitorizados com pressão arterial média invasiva, oximetria de pulso, EEG bispectral (BIS), capnografia, estimulador de nervo periférico e ECG. Foram avaliados: 1) diferentes tempos de recuperação anestésica (abertura dos olhos, reinicio da respiração espontânea, tempo de extubação traqueal, tempo para de alta da sala de recuperação pós-anestésica e hospitalar), 2) a evolução da gasometria arterial, e 3) analgesia pós-operatória. Resultados: oitenta e oito pacientes foram avaliados. Os pacientes do grupo R apresentaram abertura ocular precoce (9,49 ± 5,61 min versus 18,25 ± 10,24 min, p < 0,0001), menor tempo para reiniciar a ventilação espontânea (9,78 ± 5,80 min versus 16,58 ± 6,07 min, p < 0,0001), e menor tempo para a extubação traqueal (17,93 ± 10,39 min versus 27,53 ± 13,39 min, p < 0,0001). Não houve diferença quanto ao tempo para alta anestésica (105,18 ± 50,82 min versus 118,69 ± 56,18 min) e para alta hospitalar (51,13 ± 6,37 horas versus 52,50 ± 7,09 horas). Os dois grupos apresentaram diminuição dos valores de pH e da PaO2 imediatamente após a extubação traqueal comparados com valores pré-operatórios, e que se manteve até a alta da SRPA. O grupo D apresentou valores maiores de PaCO2 após a extubação traqueal, comparados com valores pré-operatórios no mesmo grupo (p < 0,05), divergente do Grupo R; 41% dos pacientes do Grupo R e 60% do Grupo D (p < 0,02) requisitaram medicação analgésica de resgate no primeiro dia de pós-operatório. Conclusões: na população avaliada, a associação de remifentanil em técnica anestésica padronizada resultou em recuperação anestésica mais rápida, manutenção dos valores de PaCO2 durante o período pós-operatório imediato e menor consumo de analgésicos de resgate no período pós-operatório, quando comparada à dexmedetomidina.

No modelo experimental de hidropsia endolinfática há redução na amplitude das emissões otoacústicas produtos de distorção (EOAPD) e elevação nos limiares eletrofisiológicos na eletrococleografia. Estudos mostraram que há expressão da óxido nítrico sintase tipo II (ONS II) na cóclea com hidropsia, sugerindo a participação do óxido nítrico (ON) na patogênese desta doença. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a ação de um inibidor da ONS II nas EOAPD e eletrococleografia em cobaias com hidropisia endolinfática experimental. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: Foram estudadas 16 cobaias nas quais se induziu hidropsia endolinfática experimental por obliteração do ducto e saco endolinfático na orelha direita durante 16 semanas, divididas em dois grupos: oito cobaias recebendo um inibidor da ONS II, a aminoguanidina, por via oral e um grupo de oito cobaias como controle. Comparamos as amplitudes das EOAPD nas médias geométricas de freqüências de 1062, 2187, 4375 e 7000Hz, os limiares eletrofisiológicos nas freqüências de 1000, 2000, 4000 e 6000Hz e a relação entre os potenciais de somação e de ação (PS/PA) entre os grupos. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença significante nas EOAPD e na relação PS/PA entre os grupos. O grupo que recebeu a aminoguanidina apresentou menor elevação nos limiares eletrofisiológicos nas freqüências de 2000 (p<0,05) e 6000 Hz (p<0,05) na 12ª semana e nas freqüências de 1000 (p<0,05), 2000 (p<0,001), 4000 (p<0,001) e 6000Hz (p<0,001) na 16ª semana. CONCLUSÕES: O inibidor da ONS II reduziu a elevação dos limiares eletrofisiológicos na eletrococleografia na hidropsia endolinfática experimental.
