Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: We comparative effects of mitomycin-c and heparin which have different mechanism of action in a minimal invasive corrosive esophagitis model which was formed by NaOH 40%. METHOD: The study was performed on forty female Wistar albino rats; were divided into four equal groups each including ten animals. Group C (n=10); control, the group that esophagus was washed with normal saline, group I (n=10); injury group; alkali esophagus burn, not treated, group M (n=10); alkali esophagus burn, mitomycin-c treatment group, group H (n=10); alkali esophagus burn, heparin treatment group. The study was performed on a minimal invasive model which did not require general anesthesia and abdominal operation. In 28 day, all subjects were killed and their esophagus's were removed by thoraco-abdominal cut. Total esophagi from oropharynx to stomach were removed and they were examined macroscopically and microscopically and evaluated for esophageal tissue collagen deposition and histopathologic damage score. RESULTS: When group C is compared with each of the other groups, statistically significant weight losses were detected; [(p<0.005, p<0.05, p<0.005), respectively]. Significant inflammation increase was detected in groups I, M and H in comparison to group C [(p<0.001, p<0, 0001, p<0.005)]. When granulation scores of groups were compared; statistically significant granulation increases were detected in groups I, M, and H [(p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05) compared to group C]. Significant collagen increase was detected in all 3 layers in groups; I, M and H according to group C [(p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05)]. Collagen increase in every 3 layers in groups M and H were significantly less according to group I [(p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05)]. Collagen increase in every 3 layers was less in group M than group H (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: In corrosive esophagitis due to NaOH, heparin treatment is more effective in inflammation and granulation formation, mitomycin-c treatment is more effective in preventing the collagen accumulation step. Heparin decreases the tissue damage by preventing the inflammation and granulation formation; and prevents collagen accumulation and stricture development. As completing the effect of heparin; mitomycin prevents fibroblastic activity inhibition with direct collagen accumulation and stricture development strongly.
