Abstract
Background

Pleurodesis is a common technique for treating the accumulation of air or liquid in the pleural space caused by pneumothorax or pleural effusion, it is based on the bounding of pleural layers through induced inflammatory lesions. There are several pleurodesis procedures.

Objectives

To test and describe the inflammatory effect of hyperthermia on the pleural and peritoneal mesothelia of rats, with the aim of testing the effectiveness of this process for inducing pleurodesis.

Methods

35 Sprague-Dawley (male/female) rats were randomized into four treatment groups: Group A (Talc, 10 individuals); group B (control, 5 individuals); group C (hyperthermic isotonic saline, 10 individuals); and group D (filtrate air at 50°, 10 individuals). Inflammatory effect of hyperthermia was the primary outcome parameter.

Results

In the talc group, minimal adhesions between both pleural and peritoneal layers were observed in seven rats. Talc produced peritoneal mesothelium inflammation and fibrosis associated to foreign body giant cells in 80% (8/10) of the sample. Furthermore, clear evidence of a granulomatous foreign-body reaction was detected. No macroscopic and/or microscopic damage was registered in the remaining three groups (control, hyperthermic, and filtrate air).

Conclusions

Talc is an excellent method for producing pleuro-peritoneal inflammatory lesions. On the contrary, hyperthermia apparently does not induce the macroscopic and microscopic damage that is required for efficient pleurodesis. Therefore, hyperthermia should not be used for pleurodesis procedures.

Resumen
Introducción

La pleurodesis es una técnica común como tratamiento de la patología pleural, ya sea en el neumotórax o el derrame pleural; se basa en la delimitación de las capas pleurales mediante lesiones inflamatorias inducidas. Existen múltiples procedimientos para conseguir una sínfisis pleural.

Objetivo

Estudiar y describir el efecto inflamatorio de la hipertermia sobre el mesotelio pleural y peritoneal de ratas con el objetivo de valorar si presenta un efecto sinfisiante y por tanto útil para conseguir la pleurodesis.

Métodos

Treinta y cinco ratas Sprague-Dawley (hembras/machos) fueron aleatorizadas en 4 grupos de tratamiento: grupoA (talco, 10 animales); grupoB (control, 5 animales); grupoC (suero salino hipertérmico: 10 animales), y grupoD (aire filtrado a 50°, 10 animales).

Resultados

En el grupo de talco se evidenciaron adherencias entre las dos membranas pleurales y peritoneales en 7 animales. Se observó inflamación, fibrosis asociada a células gigantes de cuerpos extraño en el 80% (8/10) del mesotelio peritoneal. Paralelamente, se observó reacción granulomatosa a cuerpo extraño. No se registraron lesiones macroscópicas ni microscópicas en el resto de grupos estudiados (control, hipertermia y aire filtrado).

Conclusión

El talco es un excelente método para producir inflamación a nivel del mesotelio pleural y peritoneal. Por el contrario, la hipertermia no parece inducir lesiones macroscópicas ni microscópicas requeridas para conseguir una pleurodesis eficaz.
