Abstract
Introduction: Gastric perforation is a rare occurrence, particularly in neonates. This is an emergency case in this population. The incidence of spontaneous gastric perforation in neonates is 1:2900 live births, with high mortality and morbidity rates. The primary treatment is surgical debridement and repair of the perforation, which has a high incidence of anastomotic leakage. At present, there is a plethora of studies investigating the efficacy of human dried amniotic membrane (H-DAM) technology in promoting wound healing. Consequently, researchers sought to ascertain whether there were differences in the number of adhesion and abscess classifications for the macroscopic evaluation of gastric perforation repair with HDAM as a biomaterial in New Zealand white rabbits.
Material and methods: A total of 30 male New Zealand rabbits underwent laparotomy and gastric perforation. These animals were then divided into three groups, with each group comprising 10 rabbits. Group 1 underwent primary repair, group 2 underwent omental patch repair, and group 3 underwent H-DAM patch repair. The rabbits were euthanised on the 7th day and the adhesion score and abscess classification were evaluated.
Result: A total of 30 samples of rabbits were homogeneous. On macroscopic evaluation, it was found that the H-DAM had the lowest mean adhesion score and the lowest incidence of abscess formation compared to all other groups.
Conclusions: It can be concluded that the utilisation of HDAM as a biomaterial patch in the treatment of gastric perforation in the rabbit model did not result in any instances of leakage, adhesion or infection.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1890 this journal originated as the Journal of the Straits Medical Association. With the formation of the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), the Journal became the official organ, supervised by an editorial board. Some of the early Hon. Editors were Mr. H.M. McGladdery (1960 - 1964), Dr. A.A. Sandosham (1965 - 1977), Prof. Paul C.Y. Chen (1977 - 1987). It is a scientific journal, published quarterly and can be found in medical libraries in many parts of the world. The Journal also enjoys the status of being listed in the Index Medicus, the internationally accepted reference index of medical journals. The editorial columns often reflect the Association''s views and attitudes towards medical problems in the country. The MJM aims to be a peer reviewed scientific journal of the highest quality. We want to ensure that whatever data is published is true and any opinion expressed important to medical science. We believe being Malaysian is our unique niche; our priority will be for scientific knowledge about diseases found in Malaysia and for the practice of medicine in Malaysia. The MJM will archive knowledge about the changing pattern of human diseases and our endeavours to overcome them. It will also document how medicine develops as a profession in the nation. We will communicate and co-operate with other scientific journals in Malaysia. We seek articles that are of educational value to doctors. We will consider all unsolicited articles submitted to the journal and will commission distinguished Malaysians to write relevant review articles. We want to help doctors make better decisions and be good at judging the value of scientific data. We want to help doctors write better, to be articulate and precise.
