Abstract

Purpose

Intraabdominal adhesions represent a major cause of postoperative morbidity potentially causing pain, small bowl obstruction and infertility. The process of adhesion formation might be regarded as an ischemic disease. Under hypoxic conditions, metabolic enzymes are regulated via hypoxic responsive elements by the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). We therefore investigated the gene expression of HIF-1 and two pivotal metabolic genes, pyruvate-dehydrogenaseβ (PDHb) and succinate-dehydrogenase-complex-subunit-A (SDHa) in a validated ischemia model of adhesion formation.

Methods

Peritoneal adhesions were created using an ischemic button model in female Wistar rats. Expression levels of HIF-1α/β, PDHb and SDHa in adhesiogenic versus native peritoneum were analyzed using quantitative PCR on the third post-operative day.

Results

Gene expression of HIF-1α was up-regulated by 10 % (p = 0.003), PDHb was up-regulated by 23 % (p = 0.0004) and SDHa (p = 0.0005) was up-regulated by 24 % in the adhesiogenic peritoneum compared to native peritoneum. The expression level of HIF-1β was not significantly influenced by adhesion formation.

Conclusion

The increased expression level of HIF-1α in the peritoneal tissue of ischemic buttons associated with postsurgical adhesions supports the major role for hypoxia in influencing peritoneal expression patterns of genes involved in the process of adhesion formation. As pivotal metabolic genes are upregulated, this seems to be an anabolic process associated with increased cellular metabolism.

Ambulantisierung: Erste Erfahrungen mit dem Hybrid-DRG

02.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Hybrid-DRG-Verordnung soll dazu führen, dass mehr chirurgische Eingriffe ambulant durchgeführt werden, wie es in anderen Ländern schon länger üblich ist. Die gleiche Vergütung im ambulanten und stationären Sektor hatten Niedergelassene schon lange gefordert. Aber die Umsetzung bereitet ihnen doch Kopfzerbrechen.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

30.04.2024 Gendermedizin Nachrichten

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Harninkontinenz: Netz-Op. erfordert über lange Zeit intensive Nachsorge

30.04.2024 Harninkontinenz Nachrichten

Frauen mit Belastungsinkontinenz oder Organprolaps sind nach einer Netz-Operation keineswegs beschwerdefrei. Vielmehr scheint die Krankheitslast weiterhin hoch zu sein, sogar höher als von harninkontinenten Frauen, die sich nicht haben operieren lassen.

Welche Übungen helfen gegen Diastase recti abdominis?

30.04.2024 Schwangerenvorsorge Nachrichten

Die Autorinnen und Autoren einer aktuellen Studie aus Griechenland sind sich einig, dass Bewegungstherapie, einschließlich Übungen zur Stärkung der Bauchmuskulatur und zur Stabilisierung des Rumpfes, eine Diastase recti abdominis postpartum wirksam reduzieren kann. Doch vieles ist noch nicht eindeutig belegt.
