RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The anastomotic leakage remains a serious complication in surgery of large bowel. The influence about the molecular mechanisms involved at this process is barely known, but its well known that collagen synthesis is essential for good healing. The Heat Shock Proteins (HSP) are expressed at stress situations, such as hypovolemia, also they are involved at the process of collagen synthesis. Besides, there are a few information about HSP70 expression at the healing process. OBJECTIVES: To determine the HSP70 expression at large bowel and intestinal anastomoses in normal and hypovolemic rats, as well as the amount of collagen and the quality of the inflammatory cells involved at this process, and correlate them. METHODS: It was used fourty Wistar rats divided into six groups. Twenty-four rats were submitted to catheterization of carotida artery followed by withdraw of 20% of their blood volume; eight of them were underwent just to hypovolemia and the others sixteen to hypovolemia followed by colectomy (right and left). The remaining sixteen rats were divided into two groups: eight of them were underwent to right colectomy and eight to the left. The specimens were analyzed at the seventh and fourteenth postoperative (PO) days. The inflammatory cells were assessed by Hematoxilin-eosin, the amount of collagen was stained by red Picrossirius and the HSP70 expression was determined by immunohistochemical study. RESULTS: The HSP70 expression at the large bowel gets lower when there is hypovolemia (p<0.05). There was no statistic difference on the inflammatory cells found in the groups. The amount of collagen was lower at the seventh than the fourteenth day (p<0.05), unlikely the HSP70 expression, which was the opposite (p<0.05). At the seventh day, the amount of collagen was lower at the study group than at the control group (p<0.05), otherwise at the fourteenth postoperative day. There was no statistic difference in HSP70 expression at the anastomoses of the groups, but at the right colon, there was disposition to significative difference at both days. CONCLUSION: The HSP70 expression at the large bowel is modified by hypovolemia, increases at the anastomoses healing and is more evident when the amount of collagen is lower. The HSP70 expression can be a potential biological marker of the complication of these anastomoses
