Postoperative abdominal adhesions may lead to intestinal obstruction and infertility. The effect of continuous release of streptokinase to the peritoneal cavity on postoperative adhesions was examined under experimental conditions. Peritoneal adhesions were induced in rats and the animals were further treated by intraperitoneal administration of streptokinase solution, polyhydroxy-butyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV) membrane alone and streptokinase loaded PHBV membrane and compared to sham operated and untreated groups. Formation of adhesions was evaluated by quantitative macroscopic grading, histopathologically with light microscopy, on the following week. Streptokinase loaded PHBV prevented postoperative adhesion formation in 90% of the cases. PHBV membrane alone also reduced the severity of adhesions due to its anti-adhesive properties. Histopathological examination revealed limited foreign body reaction due to PHBV. Continuous streptokinase activity in the peritoneal cavity during early post-surgical period prevents postoperative adhesion. Copyright (C) 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel.

Predicting the Outcome of Limb Revascularization in Patients With Lower-extremity Arterial Trauma: Development and External Validation of a Supervised Machine-learning Algorithm to Support Surgical Decisions. Perkins, Zane B.; Yet, Barbaros; Sharrock, Anna; Rickard, Rory; Marsh, William; Rasmussen, Todd E.; Tai, Nigel R M (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2020-10-01) Objectives: Estimating the likely success of limb revascularization in patients with lower-extremity arterial trauma is central to decisions between attempting limb salvage and amputation. However, the projected outcome is often unclear at the time these decisions need to be made, making them difficult and threatening sound judgement. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a prediction model that can quantify an individual patient's risk of failed revascularization. Methods: A BN progno...
Prevention of postoperative late kyphosis in Pott's disease by anterior decompression and intervertebral grafting Korkusuz, Feza; Islam, C; Korkusuz, Z (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-06-01) A total of 185 patients with Pott's disease were operated on between 1973 and 1992. Anterior decompression by preserving the pleura (extrapleural approach) was the preferred method in the thoracic spine. In the lumbar spine the approach was retroperitoneal, and interbody fusion was performed in both for the thoracic and the Lumbar regions. Anterior decompression and intervertebral grafting comprised the treatment. In five patients, internal fixation accompanied anterior decompression and intervertebral graf...
THE RISK-FACTORS IN CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER-RELATED THROMBOSIS KOKSOY, C; KUZU, A; ERDEN, I; Akkaya, Ayşen (Wiley, 1995-11-01) Catheter-related venous thrombosis is one of the most important complications of central venous catheters. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the risk factors that may be important in the development of catheter-related thrombosis. Multiple lumen (n = 20) and single lumen (n = 24) polyurethane catheters were inserted to the subclavian vein by the infraclavicular approach in 44 consecutive patients. All variables that may be significant for the development of thrombosis related to the patient, t...
Meta-analysis of prognostic factors for amputation following surgical repair of lower extremity vascular trauma Perkins, Z. B.; Yet, Barbaros; Glasgow, S.; Cole, E.; Marsh, W.; Brohi, K.; Rasmussen, T. E.; Tai, N. R. M. (Wiley, 2015-04-01) Background: Lower extremity vascular trauma (LEVT) is a major cause of amputation. A clear understanding of prognostic factors for amputation is important to inform surgical decision-making, patient counselling and risk stratification. The aim was to develop an understanding of prognostic factors for amputation following surgical repair of LEVT.
Low-dose curcumin reduced TNBS-associated mucin depleted foci in mice by scavenging superoxide anion and lipid peroxides, rebalancing matrix NO synthase and aconitase activities, and recoupling mitochondria Mouzaoui, Souad; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Djerdjouri, Bahia (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-08-01) Background The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is still being investigated. This study evaluated the therapeutic effect of curcumin (Cur), a polyphenolic electrophile in 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced chronic colitis and mitochondrial dysfunction, in mice. Methods Colitis was induced by rectal instillation to mice of 30 mg kg(-1)TNBS, alone or followed by daily intraperitoneal injections of Cur 25 mg kg(-1). Animals were euthaniz...
