    Image analysis in Gomori´s trichrome stain of skeletal muscles subjected to ischemia and reperfusion injury
    (West Bengal Veterinary ASSOC, 2016-06-01) Florez Elvira, Liliana Janeth
    Conditions that produce ischemia and reperfusion injury include orthopedic surgeries, vascular diseases and accidents in remote places in which use of a manual tourniquet is required. Tissues under such stress suffer the consequences of evidenced by changes in their normal microscopic organization that can be reversible or irreversible according to the time and severity of lesion. An experimental model of ischemia has been designed taking into account the characteristics similar to a surgical procedure, from preparation for anesthesia up to the postsurgical follow up of each animal until it finishes the established time of reperfusion. Two muscles, soleus and extensor carpi radialis longus, dissected from Wistar rats that were underwent to short periods of ischemia and short and prolonged periods of reperfusion up to 32 days. There were no significant changes in the macroscopic weight of muscles, but significant differences were found in the area occupied by intramuscular extracellular matrix. During reperfusion, a partial recovery was observed until the last day of study. If we pretend to extrapolate these results to clinical areas, its importance focuses in the recovering of function and the following up of patients after surgical procedures as studied in the present experiment.

    Miocardiocitos conducentes ventriculares
    (Universidad Nariño, 2015-07-01) Ortiz Salaza, Mario Alejandro
    Objective: To expose the histological and functional characteristics that occur in heart striated muscle tissue specialized in the conduction of electrical stimulation and its current implications for cardiac arrhythmias. Materials and methods: Publications in indexed journals in PubMed, Wiley, Ovid-Medline and Science Direct databases were selected. The MESH descriptors used for the search were cardiac myocytes, myocardium and heart conduction system. The concepts of histology and arrhythmia were mated. Articles published from 1990 to 2014 were reviewed as well as the original ones, case reports and reviews related to the concepts of embryonic development, cell differentiation and normal morphology alteration of the leading ventricular cardiomyocytes. The summary of 317 articles were read, from which 75 were classified to complete reading and finally 52 were selected for the drafting of this article. Conclusion: Current studies are directed towards the driving system simulation to establish other causes of arrhythmia and its treatment options. Not only therapies with undifferentiated cells and molecular genetic modification techniques are part of these studies but also the implementation of alternative therapies that are not invasive in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.
