[Biochemical complications of experimental vesico-sigmoidostomy].

Three experimental models of vesico-sigmoidostomy are studied (model-1, end to side V-S plus urethral ligation, model-2, end to end V-S, in "Y of Rous" plus urethral ligation and model-3, vesico-sigmoidoplasty), with aim of reproducing chemical imbalance observed in human subjects with ureterosigmoidostomy. Authors have evaluated clinical biochemical (serum acido-base balance, Cl, Na+, K+, BUN, creatinine, ammonia and albumin), and histologic variables in the first, third and fifth month after operation in 225 rats. Animal of model-1 presented more frequently than model-2 and model-3, alterations (hyperchloraemic acidosis, uraemia, hyperammonemia and hypoalbumin) as well as affectation of upper urinary system for acute or chronic pyelonephritis.

Long-term peritoneal nutrition in dogs: metabolic and histopathologic results.

In order to test the use of the peritoneal cavity in prolonged nutrition, seven dogs were fed for 22 days via peritoneal catheter. The nutritive preparations were composed of 10% crystalline amino acids, 20% fat emulsion, 40% glucose, trace elements, Na+, K+, insulin and a multivitamin compound. The caloric rate was 45kcal/kg/24h plus 0.5g/kg/24h of amino acids. These animals were compared to another group of six dogs, which were catheterized and infused with a 3% saline solution in addition to an oral intake of 45kcal/kg/24h. Both groups had free use of water. There was a case of slight peritonitis in one dog on peritoneal nutrition but no deaths and no weight changes occurred throughout the experiment. Increases in serum levels of TG, FFA and cholesterol were observed in the animals treated with peritoneal nutrition as well as a decrease in albumin serum levels. Peritoneal hyperplasia and phagocytosis were noted in the animals on peritoneal nutrition but no damage was recorded in other organs.
