Year 2018, Volume: 9 Issue: 1, 25 - 30, 03.03.2018

Abstract

Aim:  Elastane  fiber  is  a  synthetic  monofilament 
polymer  which  is  durable  and  highly  flexible. 
In  this  preliminary 
study  we  compared 
Elastane  fiber  with  polypropylene  and  polyglycaprone  25,  surching  the  inflammatory  reaction 
in  the  rat  soft  tissue, 
considering  that  it  could  be  used  for  sternal  closure 
because  of  its  properties. 

Material  and  Methods: 
Elastane  fiber,  polypropylene  and  polyglycaprone25  sutures 
were  placed  in  3  separate 
areas  at  2  cm  intervals 
in  the  subcutaneous 
tissue  of  each  8  male  wistar  albino 
rats  without  any  incision,  using  the  seldinger 
method.  After  two  weeks,  the  rats  were  sacrified  and  tissue  specimens, 
including  the  suture 
fragments,  were  resected. 
H
istopathological 
scoring  in  terms  of  inflammation, 
vascularization,  fibrosis  and  histiocytic  reaction 
were  achieved  semiquantitatively. 

Results:  There  was  no  statistically  significant 
difference  between  three  suture  materials 
in  terms  of  inflammation  (p=0.513),  vascularization  (p=0.065),  fibrosis 
(p=0.108)  and  histiocytic  reaction 
(p=0.630). 







Conclusion:  As  a  conclusion 
elastane  fiber  showed  similar 
inflammatory  changes  with  other  suture 
materials  in  the  rat  soft  tissue  which  is  thought 
to  be  useful 
for  sternal  closure 
due  to  its  high  flexibilityand  durability.

Abstract

Amaç:  Elastan 
lif,  dayanıklı  ve  esnek  sentetik 
bir  monofilament  polimerdir. 
Bu  ön  çalışmada 
sternum  kapatılması  için  uygun  nitelikte 
olduğunu  düşündüğümüz  elastan 
lif  ile  polipropilen 
ve  poliglekapron  25'i  rat  yumuşak 
dokusunda  oluşturdukları  inflamatuvar 
cevaplar  açısından  karşılaştırdık.

Gereç  ve  Yöntemler:  Elastan 
lif,  polipropilen  ve  poliglekapron  25  dikişler  8  adet  erkek  wistar  albino 
ratın  subkutan  dokusuna 
2  cm  aralıklarla 
3  ayrı  alana  herhangi  bir  kesi  yapılmadan 
seldinger  yöntemi  ile    yerleştirildi.  İki  hafta  sonra  ratlar  sakrifiye 
edilerek  sütür  parçalarını 
içerecek  şekilde  doku  örnekleri  alındı.
  Enflamasyon, 
vaskülarizasyon,  fibrozis  ve  histiyositik  reaksiyon 
açısından  yarı  kantitatif 
histopatolojik  skorlama  yapıldı.

Bulgular: 
Her  üç  sütür  materyali  arasında 
inflamasyon  (p  =  0.513),  vaskülarizasyon  (p  =  0.065), 
fibrozis  (p  =  0.108)  ve  histiyositik  reaksiyon 
(p  =  0.630) 
açısından  istatistiksel  olarak 
anlamlı  fark  yoktu.







Sonuç: 
Yüksek  esneklik  ve  dayanıklılığından  dolayı 
sternum  kapatılması  için  faydalı  olacağını 
düşündüğümüz  elastan  lif,  rat  yumuşak 
dokusunda  diğer  dikiş  materyalleri  ile  benzer  inflamatuvar 
değişiklikler  gösterdi.
