Abstrakt: Background: A novel hydrophobically modified chitosan (hm-chitosan) polymer has been previously shown to improve survival in a non-compressible intra-abdominal bleeding model in swine. We performed a 28-day survival study to evaluate the safety of the hm-chitosan polymer in swine.
Methods: Female Yorkshire swine (40-50 kg) were used. A mild, non-compressible, closed-cavity bleeding model was created with splenic transection. The hm-chitosan polymer was applied intra-abdominally through an umbilical nozzle in the same composition and dose previously shown to improve survival. Animals were monitored intraoperatively and followed 28 days postoperatively for survival, signs of pain, and end-organ function. Gross pathological and microscopic evaluations were performed at the conclusion of the experiment.
Results: A total of 10 animals were included (hm-chitosan = 8; control = 2). The 2 control animals survived through 28 days, and 7 of the 8 animals from the hm-chitosan group survived without any adverse events. One animal from the hm-chitosan group required early termination of the study for signs of pain, and superficial colonic ulcers were found on autopsy. Laboratory tests showed no signs of end-organ dysfunction after exposure to hm-chitosan after 28 days. On gross pathological examination, small (<0.5 cm) peritoneal nodules were noticed in the hm-chitosan group, which were consistent with giant-cell foreign body reaction in microscopy, presumably related to polymer remnants. Microscopically, no signs of systemic polymer embolization or thrombosis were noticed.
Conclusion: Prolonged intraperitoneal exposure to the hm-chitosan polymer was tolerated without any adverse event in the majority of animals. In the single animal that required early termination, the material did not appear to be associated with end-organ dysfunction in swine. Superficial colonic ulcers that would require surgical repair were identified in 1 out of 8 animals exposed to hm-chitosan.
