Reduction of Peritoneal Adhesion Bands by Mycophenolate Mofetil (CellCept) and Prednisolone in Rats

並列摘要


Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of prednisolone and CellCept in decreasing postoperative adhesion band formation in rats. Methods: Sixty male rats were randomly divided into three equal groups. A standard midline incision was made on the abdomen of each rat, then 2 mL of 10% sterile solution Talc was injected into intraperitoneal cavity in order to induce adhesion. Group 1 served as control group, while group 2 received oral CellCept (40 mg/kg/d) and group 3 received oral Prednisolone (5 mg/kg/d) for 4 weeks. Results: The formation of adhesion bands in control group was significantly higher than the prednisolone and CellCept group (p<0.001). The amount of adhesion bands in the second group was similar to the third one. Conclusion: Orally administered CellCept is as effective as oral prednisolone in declining chance of intraperitoneal adhesion band formation, although it causes fewer complications such as infection in rats.
