Patients are usually immunocompromised and exposed to invasive procedures, leading to high rates of infection and increased mortality. Objectives: To compare the prevalence of infection and related deaths, as well as the sensitivity profile of the putative bacteria in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis, arteriovenous fistula hemodialysis and catheter hemodialysis. Methods: This is case-control study. Six hundred forty-four patients undergoing renal replacement therapy were selected. Patients were divided into three groups according to the modality of dialysis treatment: peritoneal dialysis (126 patients), arteriovenous fistula hemodialysis (326 patients), and catheter hemodialysis (192 patients). Results: One hundred sixteen patients (18.01%) developed infection. There was a higher incidence of infection in the peritoneal dialysis group (44 patients; 34.92%; OR: 3.32; CI 95% = 2.13-5.17; p = 0.0001). In the catheter hemodialysis group, 48 patients (25%) had infection (OR: 1.88; CI 95%: 1.24-2.85; p = 0.0035). In the arteriovenous fistula hemodialysis group, 24 patients (7.36%) developed infection (OR: 0.19; CI 95%: 0.12-0.31; p = 0.0001). Five patients (4.31%) died due to infection (four in the peritoneal dialysis group and one in the catheter hemodialysis group). There were no deaths due to infection in the arteriovenous fistula hemodialysis group. Conclusions: Peritoneal dialysis is the treatment with greater risk of infection and mortality, followed by catheter hemodialysis. The lowest risk of infection and mortality was observed in arteriovenous fistula hemodialysis group.

Correlate the evolution of the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus collected from healthcare workers with the local consumption of antibiotics. Materian and Methods. Open prospective research.Study Site. General Reference Hospital with 200 beds in a 700,000 inhabitant region, in Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil. Results.Two collections (samples) of Staphylococcus aureus isolates were obtained from healthcare-workers during an approximate four-year interval. Samples 1 (n= 200) and 2 (n= 270) had this bacterium in 63 (32%) and 90 (33%) of the patients, respectively. At the same time, the annual consumption of antibiotics in DDD/1,000 patient-days was determined. The variation of resistance was significantly smaller (m.s.d.=12.11) for gentamycin (p<0.01) and (m.s.d.=9.22) for Tobramycin (p<0.05). The correlation between variation in resistance and antibiotic consumption was not significant. Workers studied in the two samples showed a significant (p<0.01) frequency (χ χ χ χ χ 2 =10.44) for persistent nasal carriage and for non carriage. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus was found in 12 (6%) patients of sample 1 and 11 patients (4%) of sample 2. Conclusions. Stability of resistance allows us to maintain therapeutic outlines. The variation in bacterial resistance in the twice-sampled population (n=105) indicated the selection pressure of the hospital environment. The resistance that was found is representative of the hospital microbiota; this relationship represents a biological model, based on the healthcare-workers' interaction with colonizing bacteria and nosocomial infections. New studies could improve this model for other bacteria, to determine the tendency for resistance and help guide the antibiotic use.

Understanding the inflammatory response and the mechanical properties of the mesh helps to define whether a fixation method is superior. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the healing of defects in the abdominal wall of rats, comparing the repair of macroporous polypropylene meshes fixed with surgical glue and polypropylene thread. METHODS: In 20 Wistar rats, a defect was produced in the abdominal wall, with the integrity of the parietal peritoneum. For correction, the meshes were fixed with surgical glue (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) (subgroup C1), or polypropylene suture (subgroup C2). The two subgroups of 10 animals were euthanized on the 90th postoperative day, and the fragments of the abdominal wall were submitted to macroscopic, histological, and tensiometric analysis. RESULTS: Macroscopic analysis did not show any abnormalities. Tensiometry on the 90th postoperative day in subgroup C1 showe...

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Cilostazol-Loaded PCL/PEG Nanocapsules on Abdominal Aortic Tunics and Lipid Profile of Wistar Rats

It has been recently verified that CLZ plays a significant role in the arteries by inhibiting the proliferation and growth of muscle cells, increasing the release of nitric oxide by the endothelium and promoting angiogenesis. Considering these promising effects, the use of nanocapsules may be an interesting strategy to optimize its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics at the vascular level for preventing atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cilostazol-loaded nanocapsules in the abdominal aortic tunics and on the lipid profile of Wistar rats in order to investigate its potential role in the prevention of atherosclerosis. Thirty-two animals were divided into four groups of eight animals, with 30-day treatment. Group 1 received nanoencapsulated CLZ; Group 2, control nanocapsules with no drug; Group 3, propylene glycol and water; and Group 4, a solution of CLZ in propylene glycol and water. After 30 days, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the cellularity and thickness of the arterial tunics of the abdominal aorta. However, the group that received nanoencapsulated CLZ (Group 1) had an improvement in HDL-c and triglyceride values compared to unloaded nanocapsules (Group 2).

A cirurgia da estenose carotídea não é isenta de riscos. Objetivos: Avaliar e discutir, em comparação com a literatura, os resultados de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia aberta por estenose de carótidas, em 4 hospitais, de município de médio porte, no estado do Paraná. Método: Estudo retrospectivo, realizado pelo levantamento de 68 prontuários eletrônicos, em 4 hospitais, no período de janeiro de 2014 a julho de 2018. Dados referentes às variáveis idade, sintomatologia, sexo, tempo entre os sintomas e cirurgia, grau de estenose, comorbidades, desfechos e indicação cirúrgica foram comparados com a literatura. Resultados: A idade média foi de 69,3 anos, 60 sintomáticos, 46 masculinos, com média de 70,2 anos e 14 femininos com 66,5 anos; e 8 assintomáticos, 7 masculinos com média de 71,1 anos e uma feminina com 57 anos; 52 foram operados precocemente e 8 após 30 dias. Todos foram submetidos à endarterectomia, com anestesia geral e apenas 2 sem uso de shunt. Complicações maiores em até 30 dias foram apresentadas por 7 pacientes (10,3%), 4 (5,9%) AVE, 1 (1,5%) IAM e 4 (5,9%) foram a óbito, 2 do grupo AVE perioperatório. Conclusão: Os pacientes assintomáticos submetidos ao procedimento não apresentaram complicações perioperatórias maiores. Aqueles com déficits graves e operados tardiamente não se beneficiaram com a cirurgia. Os índices de complicações maiores perioperatórias são semelhantes aos encontrados na literatura nacional e maiores do que em estudos controlados.

Correlate the evolution of the resistance of Staphylococcus aureus collected from healthcare workers with the local consumption of antibiotics. Materian and Methods. Open prospective research.Study Site. General Reference Hospital with 200 beds in a 700,000 inhabitant region, in Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil. Results.Two collections (samples) of Staphylococcus aureus isolates were obtained from healthcare-workers during an approximate four-year interval. Samples 1 (n= 200) and 2 (n= 270) had this bacterium in 63 (32%) and 90 (33%) of the patients, respectively. At the same time, the annual consumption of antibiotics in DDD/1,000 patient-days was determined. The variation of resistance was significantly smaller (m.s.d.=12.11) for gentamycin (p<0.01) and (m.s.d.=9.22) for Tobramycin (p<0.05). The correlation between variation in resistance and antibiotic consumption was not significant. Workers studied in the two samples showed a significant (p<0.01) frequency (χ χ χ χ χ 2 =10.44) for persistent nasal carriage and for non carriage. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus was found in 12 (6%) patients of sample 1 and 11 patients (4%) of sample 2. Conclusions. Stability of resistance allows us to maintain therapeutic outlines. The variation in bacterial resistance in the twice-sampled population (n=105) indicated the selection pressure of the hospital environment. The resistance that was found is representative of the hospital microbiota; this relationship represents a biological model, based on the healthcare-workers' interaction with colonizing bacteria and nosocomial infections. New studies could improve this model for other bacteria, to determine the tendency for resistance and help guide the antibiotic use.

Understanding the inflammatory response and the mechanical properties of the mesh helps to define whether a fixation method is superior. AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the healing of defects in the abdominal wall of rats, comparing the repair of macroporous polypropylene meshes fixed with surgical glue and polypropylene thread. METHODS: In 20 Wistar rats, a defect was produced in the abdominal wall, with the integrity of the parietal peritoneum. For correction, the meshes were fixed with surgical glue (2-octyl cyanoacrylate) (subgroup C1), or polypropylene suture (subgroup C2). The two subgroups of 10 animals were euthanized on the 90th postoperative day, and the fragments of the abdominal wall were submitted to macroscopic, histological, and tensiometric analysis. RESULTS: Macroscopic analysis did not show any abnormalities. Tensiometry on the 90th postoperative day in subgroup C1 showe...

Research paper thumbnail of Effect of Cilostazol-Loaded PCL/PEG Nanocapsules on Abdominal Aortic Tunics and Lipid Profile of Wistar Rats

It has been recently verified that CLZ plays a significant role in the arteries by inhibiting the proliferation and growth of muscle cells, increasing the release of nitric oxide by the endothelium and promoting angiogenesis. Considering these promising effects, the use of nanocapsules may be an interesting strategy to optimize its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics at the vascular level for preventing atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of cilostazol-loaded nanocapsules in the abdominal aortic tunics and on the lipid profile of Wistar rats in order to investigate its potential role in the prevention of atherosclerosis. Thirty-two animals were divided into four groups of eight animals, with 30-day treatment. Group 1 received nanoencapsulated CLZ; Group 2, control nanocapsules with no drug; Group 3, propylene glycol and water; and Group 4, a solution of CLZ in propylene glycol and water. After 30 days, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups regarding the cellularity and thickness of the arterial tunics of the abdominal aorta. However, the group that received nanoencapsulated CLZ (Group 1) had an improvement in HDL-c and triglyceride values compared to unloaded nanocapsules (Group 2).

A cirurgia da estenose carotídea não é isenta de riscos. Objetivos: Avaliar e discutir, em comparação com a literatura, os resultados de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia aberta por estenose de carótidas, em 4 hospitais, de município de médio porte, no estado do Paraná. Método: Estudo retrospectivo, realizado pelo levantamento de 68 prontuários eletrônicos, em 4 hospitais, no período de janeiro de 2014 a julho de 2018. Dados referentes às variáveis idade, sintomatologia, sexo, tempo entre os sintomas e cirurgia, grau de estenose, comorbidades, desfechos e indicação cirúrgica foram comparados com a literatura. Resultados: A idade média foi de 69,3 anos, 60 sintomáticos, 46 masculinos, com média de 70,2 anos e 14 femininos com 66,5 anos; e 8 assintomáticos, 7 masculinos com média de 71,1 anos e uma feminina com 57 anos; 52 foram operados precocemente e 8 após 30 dias. Todos foram submetidos à endarterectomia, com anestesia geral e apenas 2 sem uso de shunt. Complicações maiores em até 30 dias foram apresentadas por 7 pacientes (10,3%), 4 (5,9%) AVE, 1 (1,5%) IAM e 4 (5,9%) foram a óbito, 2 do grupo AVE perioperatório. Conclusão: Os pacientes assintomáticos submetidos ao procedimento não apresentaram complicações perioperatórias maiores. Aqueles com déficits graves e operados tardiamente não se beneficiaram com a cirurgia. Os índices de complicações maiores perioperatórias são semelhantes aos encontrados na literatura nacional e maiores do que em estudos controlados.

Desviar o fluxo sanguíneo de maneira retrógrada através da circulação venosa é uma alternativa amparada em evidências de inúmeros trabalhos publicados. Comparou-se através de mapeamento dúplex a distribuição do fluxo sanguíneo arterial em membros posteriores de suínos mantidos em circulação fisiológica com o contralateral submetido à isquemia e reperfusão por circulação retrógrada. O fluxo nos membros em circulação fisiológica e retrógrada foi avaliado por mapeamento dúplex através da determinação da velocidade de pico sistólico (VPS), da velocidade diastólica final (VDF) e do índice de resistividade (IR) em artérias selecionadas. A análise comparativa das extremidades mantidas em circulação fisiológica em relação às mantidas em isquemia e reperfusão, por circulação retrógrada, mostrou nestas, ao mapeamento dúplex, que as alterações nos padrões de onda espectral e nas variáveis hemodi...
