Horcajada, M.-N., V. Coxam, M.-J. Davicco, N. Gaumet, P. Pastoureau, C. Leterrier, J. Culioli, and J.-P. Barlet. Influence of treadmill running on femoral bone in young orchidectomized rats. J. Appl. Physiol. 83(1): 129–133, 1997.—Forty 6-wk-old male Wistar rats weighing 308 ± 24 g were divided into two groups. On day 0, the 20 animals in one group were surgically castrated and the other group was sham operated. Within each group, 10 rats were selected for treadmill running (60% maximal O2consumption, 1 h/day, 6 days/wk for 15 wk). The 20 sedentary rats were used as controls. At the time the rats were killed ( day 105), running had no significant effect on femoral mechanical properties either in castrated or in sham-operated rats. Femoral bone density was lower in orchidectomized than in sham-operated rats. Nevertheless, it was higher in exercised than in sedentary rats. Femoral Ca content paralleled changes in bone density. Treadmill running had no significant effect on plasma osteocalcin concentration but inhibited the increase in urinary deoxypyridinoline excretion observed in castrated rats. Image analysis (measured at the distal femoral diaphysis) revealed that these effects mainly resulted from decreased trabecular bone resorption in castrated exercised rats.

PURPOSE: To compare the biocompatibility of ethyl-cyanoacrylate (ECA) and octylcyanoacrylate (OCA) wound closures to sutures in rat skin. METHODS: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were subjected to three incisions which were closed using ECA, OCA or sutures . Rats were divided into four groups which received biopsies on the 3rd, 7th, 14th or 21st post-operative days. Necrosis, inflammation, dermatitis, infection, dehiscence, cicatricial enlargement and costs were examined; the histopathology evaluated was epithelialization, deep openings, foreign substance reaction, residues of synthesis material, fibrosis, inflammation, dehiscence and necrosis. RESULTS: The tissue adhesives presented the largest dehiscence levels, and ECA the lowest cost while the other measures were similar. Regarding histopathology, deep openings were more common with OCA and granulomas were most frequently obtained with ECA. The two tissue adhesives produces less inflammation than the inicial suture from post-operative day 7, while ECA and OCA cause similar inflammatory reactions. ECA did not differ significantly from OCA and sutures on other measures. CONCLUSION: ECA was well tolerated in this study and did not induce necrosis, allergic reactions or infections, presenting several advantages in relation to OCA and sutures, including lower costs and fewer complications.
