Peritoneal adhesions are a serious surgical postoperative complication. The aim of this study is to investigate, in a rat model, the anti-adhesive effects of a bioabsorbable film of polymer combining polyethylene glycol and polylactic acid.
Sixty-three animals were randomized into five groups according to the anti-adhesion treatment: Hyalobarrier®, Seprafilm®, Polymer A (PA), Polymer B (PB), and control. The rats were euthanized on days 5 and 12 to evaluate the extent, severity and degree of adhesions and histopathological changes. Three animals were euthanized at day 2 in PA, PB and control groups to observe the in vivo elimination.
Macroscopic adhesion formation was significantly lower in the PA group than in the control group at day 5 (median adhesion score 0±0 vs 9.6 ±0.5 p = 0.002) and at day 12 (0±0 vs 7.3±4 p = 0.02). Furthermore, median adhesion score at day 5 was significantly lower in the PA group than in the Seprafilm group (0±0 vs 4.2± 3.9 p = 0.03). Residence time of PA seems longer than PB.
The PA bioabsorbable film seems efficient in preventing the formation of peritoneal adhesions.
腹膜粘连是一种严重的术后并发症。本研究旨在通过大鼠模型,研究一种聚乙二醇和聚乳酸聚合物的可吸收膜对防止粘连的效果。
63 只动物随机分为五组,根据防粘连治疗分为:透明质酸钠凝胶膜(Hyalobarrier®)、聚维酮碘膜(Seprafilm®)、聚合物 A(PA)、聚合物 B(PB)和对照组。第 5 天和第 12 天处死大鼠,评估粘连的程度、严重程度和程度以及组织病理学变化。第 2 天处死 PA、PB 和对照组中的 3 只动物,观察体内消除情况。
第 5 天和第 12 天,PA 组的肉眼粘连形成明显低于对照组(中位数粘连评分 0±0 比 9.6±0.5,p=0.002;0±0 比 7.3±4,p=0.02)。第 5 天,PA 组的中位数粘连评分也明显低于 Seprafilm 组(0±0 比 4.2±3.9,p=0.03)。PA 的停留时间似乎比 PB 长。
PA 可吸收膜在预防腹膜粘连形成方面似乎有效。
