Objective-To apply self-pulmonary tissue flap to reconstruct esophagus directly or with alloy stent in this research. Methods Twenty-four dogs were divided into two groups, middle bronchus was ligated to prepare pulmonaryflap and incised, a 4 to 6 cm long and 1/2 to 2/3 perimeter defect was made in esophageal wall. Esophagus defect was repaired only with pulmonary flap (experimental group) and with pulmonary flap having self-expanded stent inside (control group). The gross appearance, histological apearance and barium X-ray films were observed at 2,4,6,8,10 and 12 weeks after operation. Results Two dogs died of anatomotic leak in experimental group, three dogs died of anatomotic leak and two dogs died of perforation of ulcer in control group. The growth of esophagus epithelium was observed from periphery area to central area after 8 to 10 weeks of operation. In pulmonary flap mass fibrous tissue proliferated and fibroblasts were active, but no necrosis occurred. Barium X-ray ofregenerated esophagus showed that mild stenosis and weakened peristalisis were observed in the middle of resophagus replacement, and that no obstruction, leakage, and dilation above anastomotic stoma occurred. Conclusion Pulmonary tissue flap can well support the mucosa crawl in the defect of esophagus. It is necessary to find a more suitable and satisfied stent for repairing segmental defect.
Objective To observe the complication after embolizing the bilateral internal il iac arteries and the median sacral artery of dogs by different combinations and embolization levels with gelfoam particle, and to provide a reference for safety appl ication of gelfoam in cl inic. Methods Sixteen common grade adult healthy dogs (weighing 10-13 kg, 14 males and 2females) were randomly divided into 5 groups. Under the monitoring of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), the embolization was performed with gelfoam particle (diameter, 50-150 μm) in bilateral internal il iac arteries and the main branch of the median sacral artery (group A, n=3), in bilateral internal il iac arteries and the first branch of the median sacral artery (group B, n=3), in the main branch of bilateral internal il iac arteries (group C, n=3), in the unilateral internal il iac artery and the main branch of the median sacral artery (group D, n=4), and in the main branch of unilateral internal il iac artery (group E, n=3). Under the DSA, the anatomic relationships of the abdominal aorta, bilateral external il iac arteries, bilateral internal il iac arteries, and median sacral artery were observed before embol ization. The survival dogs were observed and the specimens of bladder, rectum, sciatic nerve, and gluteal muscles were harvested for the general and histological observations at 3 days after embolization. Results In dogs, there was no common il iac artery; bilateral external il iac arteries originated from the abdominal aorta and the starting of the median sacral artery had variation. Seven dogs (3 in group A, 3 in group C, and 1 in group D) died within 2 days after embolization, and the others survived to the end of the experiment. In the dead dogs of groups A, C, and D, the darkening and necrosis of the rectum were observed; the bladder presented lamellar obfuscation and focal hemorrhage and edema; and the median urinary volume in bladder was 270.6 mL. In survival dogs, no obvious change was observed in the rectum; the bladder only manifested l ight edema; and the median urinary volume in bladder was 137.0, 220.5, and 28.0 mL, respectively in groups B, D, and E.The rectum and bladder of dead dogs in groups A, C, and D manifested the disrupted cells, generous inflammatory cells infiltration, and desquamation of epithel ial cells; the rectum and bladder of survival dogs in groups B, D, and E manifested l ight inflammatory cells infiltration and edema; the embol ized artery mainly focused on the arterioles whose diameter was 100-200 μm. The sciatic nerve and gluteal muscles of each group had no obvious change except for l ight edema. Conclusion When the internal il iac artery and median sacral artery are embol ized with gelfoam particle with a diameter of 50-150 μm, to ensure the safeness of pelvic organs, the embol ized artery can not exceed the first branch when the 3 arteries are embol ized at the same time, or reserve at least unilateral internal il iac artery when embol ized to the trunk , or it will result in pelvic organ necrosis and perforation.

To evaluate the effect of technique combination of implant-retented titanium lattice with decalcified dental matrix (DDM) implanting. Methods Six healthy male dogs (weighing of 10-20 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups. All the premolars were extracted on both sides of the jaw in dogs. After 2 weeks, titanium lattice and implant were implanted in the maxillary premolar region with DDM on one side (experimental group), but without on the other side (control group) of each dog. After 4, 9 and 14 weeks, respectively, 2 animals were individually killed each time, and the samples wereevaluated by general observation, X-ray examination, histological observation and histomorphometric analyses. Results General observation: Among the 6 dogs, there was no postoperative infection or death. The X-ray examination showed that the bone density of the experimental group was greater than the control group at 4 and 9 weeks, and had no significant difference as to the vicinity bone at 14 weeks. On the other hand, the density of the control group was very low under the titanium lattice and around the implant. The experimental group revealed a ridge augment of (1.93 ± 0.24) mm, and control group (-1.02 ± 1.20) mm (P lt; 0.05). Developed bone sponge could be found after 14 weeks. Histological observation showed that in the experimental group, the DDM surface was nearly absorbed at 4 weeks. A few new bones were formed at 9 weeks. The whole DDM was absorbed; the trabecular bone was thick and arranged regularly; and the intergradations of implant were observed at 14 weeks. In the control group, there were some inflammatory fibers around the neck of implant at 4 weeks. The inflammatory condition extended to the root of implant and the titanium lattice at 9 weeks. There was no newly-formed bone under the titanium lattice at 14 weeks. Histomorphometric analyses showed that the implant contact bone ratio approached 1 ∶ 1, and showed no significant difference between the new bone fragment and former bone fragment in the experimental group. Conclusion This augmentation of alveolar ridge evaluated by the study is appl icable, but further study is necessary.
OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the nature of degenerations in canine peripheral retina and compare the degenerations with those in human peripheral retina. METHODS: Examining randomly the peripberal fundus of eighty eye balls of forty dogs wdh dissecting microscope. The lesions of degenerations were photographed and processed for light microscopic examination. RESULTS:Typical Cystoid degeneralion,reticular degenerative retinoschisis, paving-stone degeneration, and lattice degeneration were discovered. The pathologic findings of these degenerations were same as or similar to those of the degenerations in human peripheral retina. CONCLUSIONS:The atrophic retinal degenerations that are similar to human' s are present at peripheral fundus in canine eyes. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 151-152）
Objective To make a comparison for the change of maximum tensile intensity and stiffness of a whole implant that is placed into bone tunnel with various lengths tendon, by using beagle dog’s autogenous flexor tendons to reconstruct anterior cruciate l igament (ACL). Methods Sixty male beagle dogs were included in the experiment (weighting 13-16 kg). Three dogs were used for intact flexor tendon of both knees (normal control group), 3 dogs for the intact ACL andfemur-graft-tibia complex (auto control group) and 54 dogs (108 knees) for models of reconstructed ACL (6 experimentalgroups according to different lengths of tendon: 5, 9, 13, 17, 21 and 25 mm in the bone tunnel). The tensile intensity and stiffness were measured after 45, 90 and 180 days separately after operation. Results In the normal control group, the maximum tensile intensity of the intact flexor tendon was (564.15 ± 36.18) N, the stiffness was (59.89 ± 4.28) N/ mm. In the auto control group, the maximum tensile intensity of the intact ACL was (684.75 ± 48.10) N, the stiffness was (74.34 ± 6.99) N/ mm, all ruptured through the intra-articular portion of the graft. The maximum tensile intensity of femur-graft-tibia complex in the auto control group was (301.92 ± 15.04) N, the stiffness was (31.35 ± 1.97) N/mm. After 45 days of operation, all failure occurred at the tibial or femoral insertion site. After 90 days of operation, 24 of the breakpoints were scattered in tendon-bone junction, 12 (3 in 17 mm group, 5 in 21 mm group, 4 in 25 mm group) ruptured through the intra-articular portion. After 180 days of the operation, all breakpoints were distributed inside joint of the implant. The maximum tensile intensity and the stiffness were ber in 17, 21 and 25 mm groups than in 5, 9 and 13 mm groups after operation (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Tendon with 17 mm length, which will be implanted into bone tunnel, is an appl icable index, in reconstruction of ACL by autogenous tendons.
To evaluatae the role of cathepsin B in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. The experimental dogs were divided into three groups based on the severity. An acute edematous pancreatitis group (n＝11), an acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis group (n＝12), and a control group (n＝7). Distribution of cathepsin B in pancreatic aciner cell was studied. Results: there was a redistribution of cathepsin B from the lysosomal fraction to the zymogen fraction. The results indicated that cathepsin B play a important role in the pathoagenesis of acute pancreatitis.
To find the relation between the damage of gastric remnant mucosal barrier and the precancerous lesion of gastric remnant mucosa, in the process of the canine gastric remnant precarcinogenesis induced by N-methyN’-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), we performed regularly the esophagogastroscopy and the mucosal biopsy.At the same time, we also measured gastric transmucosal potential difference and intracellular DNA content of remnant mucosa.We found that the more severe the damage of gastric remnant mucosal barrier was , the greater the malignant capacity of gastric remnant mucosal was.Our study suggests that the damage of gastric remnant mucosal barrier plays an important role in the gastric remnant mucosal precarcinogenesis.
To evaluate the implantation effect of artificial vascular grafts with recombinant fibrinolytic enzyme factor II (rF II)-immobil ized lumina in animal test. Methods Four mm internal diameter (ID) polyurethane (PU) artificial vascular grafts were prepared by di pping and leaching method. The micro-pore size and morphology of the graft walls were observed by SEM. The graft lumina were immobil ized with rF II. Twenty hybrid male dogs [weighing (20 ± 1) kg] were used for animal model of carotid artery defect and were randomly divided into 3 groups: rF II -immobil ized PU group, no rF II -immobil ized PU group and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) group. The vascular grafts were implanted for repairing injured segments of carotid artery in dogs. The general health state of animals was recorded. At 30 days and 60 days,the patency rate of every group was calculated. At 60 days IDs were measured, cell prol iferation in neointima was inspected by l ight microscope, morphology on neointima was observed by SEM. Results The ID of the PU vascular grafts was (3.74 ± 0.06) mm, wall thickness was 0.4-0.6 mm, the wall density was 0.25 g/cm3, the porosity was 79.8%, racical compl iance was 8.57%/100 mmHg. In the wall, micropores were well distributed and opened-pores structure was observed. Pore size was (140 ± 41) μm in the outside layer, pore size was (100 ± 3) μm in the inside layer, thickness ratio of outside / inside layers was 2 ∶ 1, the pore size was (40 ± 16) μm on the lumina surface. After operation the wounds on neck healed, all the animals survived and had no compl ication. At 30 days and 60 days after implantation, the patency rate for rF II -immobil ized PU group were 100% and 66.7%, for no rF II -immobil ized PU group were 66.7% and 33.3%, and for ePTFE group were 67.7% and 0 respectively, but at 60 days there were thrombosis at anastamotic sites of some grafts occluded. Before operation the IDs for rF II-immobil ized PU group, no rF II -immobil ized PU group and ePTFE group were (3.74 ± 0.06), (3.74 ± 0.06) and (4.00 ± 0.03) mm, at 60 days after operation the IDs were (4.51 ± 0.05), (4.31 ± 0.24) and (4.43 ± 0.12) mm respectively, showing no statistically significant differences between 3 groups (P gt; 0.05). Histological inspection indicated that at 15 days a layer of plasma protein deposited on the lumina, at 30 days some cells adhered to the lumina, at 60 days neointima could be observed on the lumina. Thickness of the neointima became larger with implantation time. At 60 days neointima thickness at proximal end, middle site and distal end ofgraft were (560 ± 22), (78 ± 5) and (323 ± 31) μm respectively for rF II -immobil ized PU group. The results of SEM showed that neointima surface consisted of flat and long cells which long axes ranged with blood flow direction and was similar to lumina morphology of carotid artery of dog. Conclusion Immobil ization of rF II to lumina of grafts could enhance fibrinolytic activity and inhibited formation of thrombo-embol ia which led to an increase in patency rate after implantation.
Six dogs underwent high selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy (HSV+MA). The gross and histological change of dog’s stomach were observed at 4-6 months after operation. It was found that the reconstructed antrum healed well and there was no stasis and distension in the stomach .The appearance of the nerves in muscular layer of the antrum was normal. No serious gastritis and mucosal atrophy was observed. These results indicat that HSV+MA is a reasonable procedure for the treatment of duodenal ulcer.
