Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate lung tissue histopathologic changes and the number of apoptosis with the increase of abdominal pressure. METHODS: The study rats were randomly assigned into the following five groups: a sham operated group and groups 1, 2, 3 and 4, in which the intra-abdominal pressure was increased to 11, 15, 18 and 22 mmHg for 60 min, respectively. Lungs were harvested for histopathologic changes and the tissue apoptotic analysis were carried out in a blinded manner. RESULTS: All of the data showed that the number of apoptotic cells and necrosis were increased in accordance with the pressure level. However, this increase was statistically significant, especially in groups 3 and 4 (18 and 22 mmHg, respectively; p < 0.05) when compared to the sham operated rats. There were no differences observed between groups 1 and 2 (11 and 15 mmHg, respectively) and the sham operated rats. There was also no difference between groups 1 and 2. There were findings of coagulation necrosis and the number of apoptotic cells linearly increased when the abdominal pressure was increased. The cut-off value was 15 mmHg. CONCLUSION: The available findings suggest that intra-abdominal pressure greater than 15 mmHg could irreversibly damage pulmonary cells and both coagulation necrosis parameters and the number of apoptosis increase in accordance with the pressure level.
