Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of keratinocyte growth factor on peritoneal adhesion formation in rats. Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley( SD) female rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups, KGF group( n = 10), positive control group (n = 10) , and negative control group (n = 10). Seven days after surgery, rats were killed and the adhesion degree was evaluated by Leach scale. Immunohistochemical technique was used to identify the expression of tPA and PAI-1. Stained with HE,the histomorphology changes of the adhesion tissue were observed by light microscope. Picrosirius-polarization method was used to observe the expression of type Ⅰ or Ⅲ collagens in two groups. Results In the KGF group,lower collagen fibers were noted and the gross adhesion scores was significantly lower than that in positive control group (4. 8 ± 1. 0 vs 7. 6 ± 1. 0; t = 5.422; P ＜ 0. 01). The expression level of type Ⅰ collagens was significantly lower in the KGF group than in positive control group (69 ±11 versus 55 ±9;t = 3. 214 ;P ＜0. 01) ,but there was no significant difference in the expression of type Ⅲ collagens among the two groups (48 ± 7 versus 50 ± 10; t = 0. 481; P ＞ 0. 05). The immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of tPA significantly increased in the KGF group than in positive control group and negative control group(88 ±4.0 versus 112 ±4.0, 101 ±2.0;F = 109. l,P＜0. 01) , However, no statistically significant difference for the expression of PAI-1 was noted among the three groups ( F = 1. 391, P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusions Keratinocyte growth factor promotes mesothelium repair, increases mesothelial fibrinolytic activity, inhibits the deposition of collagen and reduces the intensity of postoperative adhesions.
