Abstract

Renal injury is common in abdominal trauma. Adhesives and sealants can be used to repair and preserve damaged organs. We describe the effect of three biomaterial treatments (TachoSil, GelitaSpon, and Adhflex) on injured renal tissue. Renal traumatic injuries were experimentally induced in male Wistar rats (n = 90) using a punch. Animals were divided into five groups: (1) sham noninjured (n = 3) and punch injury groups; (2) nontreated (n = 6); (3) TachoSil (n = 27); (4) GelitaSpon (n = 27); and (5) Adhflex (n = 27). Wound healing was evaluated 2, 6, and 18 days postinjury by inflammatory cytokines response, histopathological evolution of lesions, inflammatory reaction markers (CD68), and vascular neoformation (CD31). The TachoSil group showed the least inflammatory reaction among the three treated groups, which showed similarly low inflammatory reaction 18 days postinjury. Ciliary neurotrophic factor, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, L-selectin, thymus chemokine, and TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 expression peaked between 2 and 6 days postinjury. TachoSil promoted the highest cytokine expression. The Adhflex group had the highest CD31 inflammatory immune-marker levels at 2 and 6 days postinjury, but there was a similar decrease in CD31 levels in all three groups at 18 days postinjury. The results show that all three sealant treatments induced a normal healing process with the typical pattern of proinflammatory cytokine and immune-marker expression. Each tested sealant substance could be suitable treatment for renal lacerations. The findings of this study indicate that Adhflex® elastic cyanoacrylate does not induce an adverse inflammatory reaction, and therefore, could be considered as one of the first-line treatments for renal injuries. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
