Description

The use of a radio-tracer of portal circulation through the intestine, should prevent cruel punctures in the portal-vein or spleen as it is usually the case with traditional methods in the study of portal-system. The absorption of I-131 and Tc-99m, previously cheked in rabbits presented similar results in dogs. The time of circulation between terminal large-intestine and the liver (t-RF) was determined by external counting at hepatic level by recording radioactivity variation-time. In healthy animals the t-RF was from 20to 60 seconds, with average time of 42 seconds. In 2 animals with partial binding of portal-vein the t-RF went up to 110 and 120 seconds. (Author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

O sistema porta drena o sangue venoso do estomago, intestino e baco para ser 'filtrado' no figado. As doencas que causam aumento da resistencia ao fluxo portal levam a hipertensao porta e nao raro a graves hemorragias de varizes do esofago. A utilizacao de um radiotracador absorvivel pelo intestino evitaria o acesso cruento ao sistema, como ocorre com os metodos convencionais. A absorcao do I-131 e do Tc-99m, verificada em coelhos, apresentou o mesmo comportamento em caes. O tempo entre a administracao retal profunda do tracador e sua chegada ao figado (t-RF) foi determinada por deteccao externa e registro grafico. Em animal higidos o t-RF variou de 20 a 60 segundos (media 42 segundos). Em 2 animais com ligaduras parciais da veia porta o t-RF aumentou para 110 e 120 segundos. (Autor)
