Advanced Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy with magnetic compressive anastomats in obstructive jaundice dog models.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Although commonly used procedure, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (RYHJ) remains to be complicated, time consuming, and has a relatively poor prognosis. We designed the magnetic compressive anastomats (MCAs) to perform RYHJ more efficiently and safely. MATERIALS AND METHODS:36 dogs were divided into two groups randomly. After obstructive jaundice model construction, RYHJ was performed with MCAs in study group or by hand-sewn in control group. Both groups were followed for 1, 3, and 6 months after RYHJ. The liver function and postoperative complications were recorded throughout the follow-up. At the end of each time point, dogs were sent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and sacrificed. Anastomotic samples were taken for anastomotic narrowing rate calculation, histological analyses, tensile strength testing, and hydroxyproline content testing. RESULTS:The anastomotic construction times were 44.20 ± 23.02 min in study group, compared of 60.53 ± 11.89 min in control group (p < 0.05). The liver function recovered gradually after RYHJ in both groups (p > 0.05). All anastomats were expelled out of the body in 8.81 ± 2.01 days. The gross incidence of morbidity and mortality was 33.3% (6/18) and 16.7% (3/18) in study group compared with 38.9% (7/18) and 22.2% (4/18) in control group (p > 0.05), and there is no single case of anastomotic-specific complications happened in study group. The narrowing rates of anastomosis were 14.6, 18.5, and 18.7% in study group compared with 35.4, 36.9, and 34% in control group at 1st, 3rd, and 6th month after RYHJ (p < 0.05). In study group, preciser alignment of tissue layers and milder inflammatory reaction contributed to the fast and better wound healing process. CONCLUSION:Perform RYHJ with MCAs is safer, more efficient than by hand-sewn method in obstructive jaundice dog models.

Project description:BackgroundThe present study aimed to analyze the scar formation mechanism following Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy (CJS) in a novel rat model of obstructive jaundice.MethodsThe biliary obstruction model of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats was established in advance, and 24 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (control group, 1-day ligation group, 3-day ligation group, and 5-day ligation group). Changes in postoperative weight, common bile duct diameter, and laboratory indexes were analyzed to determine the best operation time. Roux-en-Y CJS in rats was studied based on the model, and the rats were randomly divided into 4 groups [control group, 3-day choledochojejunostomy (CJS) group, 7-day CJS group, and 30-day CJS group]. The same indexes were analyzed, and the characteristics of scar formation were evaluated by histopathology and polymerase chain reaction examination.ResultsThe third day after common bile duct ligation is the best time for a Roux-en-Y CJS. The common bile duct diameter expands to 4.2 mm on average, and these physiological characteristics are consistent with current standard clinical findings. After completing CJS, the rats' weight returned to normal levels, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB), and C-reactive protein (CRP) indexes gradually decreased (P<0.05). Anastomotic stoma diameter tended to narrow with time and was significantly narrower on day 30 than preoperation. After CJS, the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) peaked in the early stage and was still higher than that of the control group in the bile duct wall 1 month postoperatively (P<0.05). Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) expression gradually increased and was higher than that of the control group at each stage postoperatively (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe rat Roux-en-Y CJS model is more in line with our surgical model, and the clinical condition has potential applicability for the study of CJS scar formation. Scar formation following CJS in rats is characterized by the activation of fibroblasts caused by early inflammatory stimulation, which leads to the proliferation of collagen and smooth muscle fibers, resulting in scars.
