          Abstract

          O insucesso de retalhos devido a necrose total ou parcial não é um fato isolado. O edema pode ser um fator importante na perda do retalho. A hialuronidase degrada o ácido hialurônico presente no tecido conjuntivo que está envolvido na homeostase da água na matriz extracelular, e pode ser importante na melhora da sobrevida de retalhos. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a efetividade da hialuronidase na melhora da sobrevida de retalhos cutâneos em ratas. Quarenta e duas ratas Wistar distribuídas em quatro grupos foram incluídas na pesquisa. Praticou-se um retalho randomizado de 7 x 2 cm no dorso do animal. Três grupos receberam tratamento pós-operatório durante quatro dias. O grupo A (n=11) recebeu 100 UI/dia de hialuronidase, o grupo B (n=11) 50 UI/dia de hialuronidase e o grupo C (n=10) água destilada. O grupo D (n=10) não recebeu tratamento. Foi avaliada a área de necrose e submetido a análise estatística. As taxas de necrose no dia 7 foram: no grupo A 38,69% (± 9,26), grupo B 38,20% (± 15,05), grupo C 51,97% (± 8,37) e grupo D 45,90% (± 12,57). Houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05) entre os grupos A e B quando comparados com o grupo C. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante dos grupos A e B em comparação com o grupo D. A hialuronidase mostrou-se efetiva quando o fator infiltração estava envolvido, o que sugere um efeito de dissolução do edema como provável mecanismo de melhora da sobrevida em retalhos cutâneos em ratas.

          Flap failure related to total or partial necrosis is not a rare event. Flap edema could be an important factor on flap losing. Hyaluronidase breaks down the hyaluronic acid existing in the connective tissue, which is involved on water homeostasis of intercellular ground substance, and may be important on increasing flap survival. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hyaluronidase on improving cutaneuos flap survival in rats. Forty-two Wistar rats divided in four groups were included in this study. It was made a 7 x 2 cm random flap in the dorsal aspect of the animal. Three groups received post-operative treatment during four days. Group A (n=11) received 100 UI per day of hyaluronidase, group B (n=11) 50 UI per day and group C (n=10) received distilled water. Group D (n=10) was not treated. It was evaluated the necrosis area and those data were statistically analyzed. Necrosis rates on 7th day were 38,69% (±9,26) in the group A, 38,20% (±15,05) in the group B, 51,97% (±8,37) in the group C and 45,90% (±12,57) in the group D. There was found difference with statistical significance (p<0,05) between group A and B when compared with the group C. There was no statistical difference when compared groups A and B with group D. Hyaluronidase was found effective when the infiltration factor was involved and this suggests a spread effect on edema to be the provable mechanism on increasing of the cutaneous flap survival in rats.

            The structure and function of hyaluronan: An overview.

            Hyaluronan is a major component of synovial tissue and fluid as well as other soft connective tissues. It is a high-Mr polysaccharide which forms entangled networks already at dilute concentrations (< 1 mg/mL) and endows its solutions with unique rheological properties. Physiological functions of hyaluronan (lubrication, water homeostasis, macromolecular filtering, exclusion, etc.) have been ascribed to the properties of these networks. Recently a number of specific interactions between hyaluronan and a group of proteins named hyaladherins have also pointed towards a role of hyaluronan in recognition and the regulation of cellular activities. Many more or less well documented hypotheses have been proposed for the function of hyaluronan in joints, for example, that it should lubricate, protect cartilage surfaces, scavenge free radicals and debris, keep the joint cavities open, form flow barriers in the synovium and prevent capillary growth.

              A new experimental model: the vascular pedicle cutaneous flap over the dorsal aspect (flank and hip) of the rat.

              Cutaneous vascular anatomy of the flank and the hip was studied in the rat. Investigation was done by anatomical dissection, ink injection to the axial artery and flap harvesting in living rats. Anatomical dissection and India ink injection revealed that the rat's flank and hip skin derives its blood supply from the iliac branch of the iliolumbar artery, which originates from the lateral aspect of the abdominal aorta. The vascular territory of the iliac branch of the iliolumbar artery was defined as follows: the medial border--along the midline of the back from the 12th rib to the proximal part of the tail; the lateral border-anterior axillary line corresponding with the length of the medial border; the cephalic border--a line joining the medial and lateral border at the level of the 12th rib; and the caudal border--the posterior lateral line of the hip. On the basis of the vascular territory demarcated by India ink injection, bilateral vascular pedicle island cutaneous flaps were harvested in living rats. Results showed total survival of all flaps. This flap is easily made, and it could be used as a reliable model for flap research.
