          ABSTRACT

          Background:

          Partial hepatectomy is a surgical intervention of the liver that can trigger its regenerative process, where the residual lobes deflagrate a compensatory hyperplasia, causing its restoration almost to the original volume. Nevertheless, depending on the extent of liver damage its regeneration might be impaired. The low-power laser has been studied with beneficial results.

          Aim:

          To investigate the possible functional and mutagenic damage arising from the use of low-power laser used in liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy.

          Methods:

          Fifteen male adult Wistar rats were hepatectomizated in 70% and laser irradiated or not with dose of 70 J/cm 2, 650 nm, 100 mW, directly on the remaining liver, during the perioperative period. These animals were divided into four groups: G1 (control, 7 days); G2 (laser, 7 days); G3 (control, 14 days); G4 (laser, 14 days). Were analyzed the liver weight; number of hepatocytes; deposition of collagen fibers; liver function tests: serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, bilirubin and micronucleus test in peripheral blood erythrocyte.

          Results:

          The liver weight was greater in G3 and G4 (p=0.001 and p=0.002) compared to other groups. The deposition of collagen fibers in G1 was statistically higher than the other groups (p=0.01). In tests of liver function and micronucleus test was not found significant differences between the studied groups.

          Conclusion:

          Low-power laser stimulation did not cause loss of liver function or mutagenic damage.

          RESUMO

          Racional:

          A hepatectomia parcial é intervenção cirúrgica que pode desencadear processo regenerativo, onde os lobos residuais deflagram resposta de hiperplasia compensatória, ocasionando restauração próxima ao seu volume original. Contudo, dependendo da extensão das lesões hepáticas a regeneração pode ser prejudicada. O laser de baixa potência tem sido pesquisado com resultados benéficos no processo de regeneração hepática.

          Objetivo:

          Investigar os possíveis danos funcionais e mutagênicos decorrentes da utilização do laser de baixa potência utilizado na regeneração hepática após hepatectomia parcial .

          Métodos:

          Quinze ratos adultos Wistar foram hepatectomizados a 70%, irradiados ou não com laser, dose de 70 J/cm 2, 650 nm,100 mW, de forma direta sobre o fígado remanescente, durante o período transoperatório. Os animais foram distribuídos em quatro grupos: G1 (controle, 7 dias); G2 (laser, 7 dias); G3 (controle 14 dias); G4 (laser,14 dias). Foram analisados o peso do fígado; número de hepatócitos; deposição de fibras colágenas; teste de função hepática: alanina aminotransferase, aspartato aminotransferase, fosfatase alcalina, gama glutamiltransferase, bilirrubinas e teste de micronúcleo em eritrócitos.

          Resultados:

          O peso do fígado apresentou-se aumentado nos grupos G3 e G4 (p=0,001 e p=0,002) comparados aos demais grupos. A deposição das fibras colágenas no G1 foi estatisticamente maior em relação aos demais grupos (p=0,01). Nos testes de função hepática e teste de micronúcleo não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os grupos.

          Conclusão:

          O laser de baixa potência não ocasionou perda de função hepática ou dano mutagênico.

          Liver regeneration.

          Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy is a very complex and well-orchestrated phenomenon. It is carried out by the participation of all mature liver cell types. The process is associated with signaling cascades involving growth factors, cytokines, matrix remodeling, and several feedbacks of stimulation and inhibition of growth related signals. Liver manages to restore any lost mass and adjust its size to that of the organism, while at the same time providing full support for body homeostasis during the entire regenerative process. In situations when hepatocytes or biliary cells are blocked from regeneration, these cell types can function as facultative stem cells for each other.

            Liver regeneration.

            Liver regeneration after the loss of hepatic tissue is a fundamental parameter of liver response to injury. Recognized as a phenomenon from mythological times, it is now defined as an orchestrated response induced by specific external stimuli and involving sequential changes in gene expression, growth factor production, and morphologic structure. Many growth factors and cytokines, most notably hepatocyte growth factor, epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor-alpha, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, insulin, and norepinephrine, appear to play important roles in this process. This review attempts to integrate the findings of the last three decades and looks toward clues as to the nature of the causes that trigger this fascinating organ and cellular response.
