Fecal peritonitis in aging rat model. Therapeutic response to different antibio...
Mascena,Guilherme Veras; Figueiredo Filho,Carlos Alberto; Lima Júnior,Marcos Antônio Xavier de; Oliveira,Thárcia Kiara BeserraAbstract Purpose: To evaluate the response of aging rats with sepsis to two different antibiotic regimens. Methods: The study was conducted with 30 aging rats (18 month-old) with autologous feces peritonitis. The animals were divided into three groups: Group 0 received no therapeutic intervention (control), while Group 1 received a single dose of 40 mg/kg meropenem and Group 2 received a single dose of 20 mg/kg...
Translational realistic expectations of chronic cerebral hypoxemia in rat model...
Melo,Maria Cecília Santos Cavalcanti; Gadelha,Diego; Mascena,Guilherme Veras; Oliveira,Thárcia Kiara Beserra; Brandt,Carlos TeixeiraPURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of chronic cerebral hypoxia on memory of rats submitted to bilateral common carotid artery ligation (BCCL).METHODS: Every each week, for 16 weeks, 31 rats were tested for memory using a water and land mazes and compared with 30 normal rats (control group A). The variables were expressed by their mean and standard error of the mean (SEM). p<0.05 was used for rejecting the null hy...
Severe autogenously fecal peritonitis in Wistar rats with permanent bilateral c...
Melo,Maria Cecília Santos Cavalcanti; Gadelha,Diego Nery Benevides; Oliveira,Thárcia Kiara Beserra; Brandt,Carlos TeixeiraPURPOSE:To evaluate the treatment outcome of severe peritonitis in rats submitted to permanent bilateral carotid occlusion (PBCO).METHODS:Sixteen Wistar rats (mean age of 8.5 months) with PBCO underwent autogenously fecal peritonitis, and were treated with moxifloxacin combined with dexamethasone, and followed-up for 45 days. Ten rats (mean age five months) without PBCO were used as a control group. The variabl...
Severe autogenously fecal peritonitis in ageing Wistar rats. Response to intrav...
Mascena,Guilherme Veras; Melo,Maria Cecília Santos Cavalcanti; Gadelha,Diego Nery Benevides; Oliveira,Thárcia Kiara Beserra; Brandt,Carlos TeixeiraPURPOSE: To evaluate the treatment outcome of severe peritonitis in rats with increasing age.METHODS:Thirty Wistar rats stratified in three groups: group I - six month-old; group II - 12 month-old; and group III - 18 month-old, underwent autogenously fecal peritonitis (6 ml/kg rat), and were treated with intravenous meropenem. The survival animals were followed-up for 45 days. The variables were expressed by th...
Alcohol extract of Schinu sterebinthifolius raddi (anacardiaceae) as a local an...
Melo,Maria Cecília Santos Cavalcanti; Gadelha,Diego Nery Benevides; Oliveira,Thárcia Kiara Beserra; Brandt,Carlos TeixeiraPURPOSE: To develop an alcoholic extract of the inner bark of the Schinus terebinthifolius raddi and to test its impact on autogenously fecal peritonitis in Wistar rats. METHODS: The inner bark of the Schinus terebinthifolius raddi was kept for seven days in 70% ethanol alcohol. The total elimination of the solvent was performed in a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure at 55-60°C. Four milliliter of this e...
Learning and survival memory undergoing a permanent bilateral carotid ligation ...
Melo,Maria Cecília Santos Cavalcanti; Gadelha,Diego; Mascena,Guilherme Veras; Oliveira,Thárcia Kiara Beserra; Brandt,Carlos TeixeiraPURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of cerebral hypoxia-ischemia on memory and learning survival of rats submitted to permanent bilateral carotid ligation (PBCL). METHODS: Twenty-four survivors of PBCL were evaluated after 30 days with regard to memory and learning using a water survival maze. Twenty-three healthy rats were used as control group. The results were expressed by their means and standard error of the m...
Autogenous fecal peritonitis in Wistar rats with permanent bilateral carotid oc...
Gadelha,Diego Nery Benevides; Melo,Maria Cecília Santos Cavalcanti; Oliveira,Thárcia Kiara Beserra; Brandt,Carlos TeixeiraPURPOSE: To investigate morbidity, mortality and microbiological response to fecal peritonitis induced in Wistar rats with permanent bilateral carotid ligation (PBCL). METHODS: Fecal peritonitis was induced in 30 rats, with 10 animals in each group: Group1 - normal young animals; Group2 - normal mature animals; and Group3 - rats with PBCL after four months postoperative follow-up. Peritonitis was induced with 1...
