ABSTRACT.- Belotta A.F., Santarosa B.P., Ferreira D.O.L., Carvalho S.M.F., Gonçalves R.C., Padovani C.R. & Mamprim M.J. 2017. Portal Vein Dopplerflowmetry in healthy sheep according to age. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 37(10):1172-1176. Departamento de Clínica Veterinária, Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Unesp Campus de Botucatu, Distrito de Rubião Júnior s/n, Botucatu, SP 18618-970, Brazil. E-mail: biancasantarosavet@gmail.com Pulsed Doppler ultrasound was used to evaluate portal blood flow, portal velocity and portal congestion index in 24 healthy sheep divided into groups (lambs, yearlings and ewes), according to age. Measurements were performed at the 11th right intercostal space using ideal insonation angle and uniform insonation method. Mean values obtained in each group were compared with one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey post-hoc test. Portal velocity and portal blood flow were statistically similar between the groups (P>0.05). Mean portal velocity were 17.75; 17.13 and 16.75; while mean portal blood flow were 26.65; 31.04 and 24.32 for lambs, yearlings and ewes, respectively. Portal congestion index was statistically distinct between the groups and values for lambs, yearlings and ewes were 0.009; 0.058 and 0.09, respectively (P<0.01). Statistical differences were observed in portal vein diameter, portal vein area and portal congestion index between the groups, presumably due to influence of weight and not to age.

RESUMO.- Belotta A.F., Santarosa B.P., Ferreira D.O.L., Carvalho S.M.F., Gonçalves R.C., Padovani C.R. & Mamprim M.J. 2017. Portal Vein Dopplerflowmetry in healthy sheep according to age. [Dopplerfluxometria da veia portal em ovinos hígidos de acordo com a idade.] Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 37(10):1172-1176. Departamento de Clínica Veterinária, Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Unesp Campus de Botucatu, Distrito de Rubião Júnior s/n, Botucatu, SP 18618-970, Brazil. E-mail: biancasantarosavet@gmail.com A ultrassonografia com Doppler pulsado foi utilizado para avaliar o fluxo sanguíneo portal, velocidade portal e índice de congestão portal em 24 ovinos saudáveis divididos em grupos (cordeiros, borregos e ovelhas), de acordo com a idade. As medições foram realizadas no 11o espaço intercostal direito utilizando ângulo de insonação ideal e método de inclusão uniforme. Os valores médios obtidos em cada grupo foram comparados com ANOVA, seguido pelo teste post-hoc de Tukey. A velocidade portal e o fluxo de sangue portal foram estatisticamente semelhantes entre os grupos (P>0,05). A velocidade portal média foram 17,75; 17,13 e 16,75; enquanto o fluxo de sangue portal médios foram 26,65; 31,04 e 24,32 para cordeiros, borregos e ovelhas, respectivamente. O índice de congestão portal foi estatisticamente diferente entre os grupos e os valores para cordeiros, novilhos e ovelhas foram 0,009; 0,058 e 0,09, respectivamente (P<0.01). Observaram-se diferenças estatísticas nos diâmetros da veia porta, na área da veia porta e nos índices de congestão portal entre os grupos, provavelmente devido à influência do peso e não pela idade.

E-mail: likamik@uol.com.br The morphometry and haemodynamic aspects of portal vein were studied in 20 normal dogs with less than 120 days of age and in 14 dogs presenting portosystemic shunting with ages between 90 and 360 days. In the control group the hepatic margins were seen 1.50cm to 3.00cm caudal to the costal margin. Collected data indicated that the mean diameter of portal vein (VP), caudal vena cava (VCC) and abdominal aorta (AO) measured respectively, 0.38cm, 0.37cm and 0.41cm. The VP/VCC and VP/AO mean ratios were respectively, 1.10 and 0.94. The average of VP, VCC and AO areas were respectively, 0.12cm2, 0.11cm2 and 0.14cm2. The haemodynamic of portal vein was studied by ultrasound Doppler and the mean velocity of portal blood flow (VMFSP) measured was 17.76cm/s. It was verified that portal blood flow (FSP) average was 83.11ml/min/kg and the congestion index (IC) average was 0.006. In the group of animals presenting portosystemic shunting, the hepatic margins were seen 1.00cm to 2.00cm cranial to the costal margin. The morphometry of VP, VCC and AO presented a mean diameter of 0.40cm, 0.74cm and 0.56cm, respectively. The VP/VCC and VP/AO mean ratios were respectively, 0.54 and 0.69. The average of VP, VCC and AO areas were respectively, 0.14cm2, 0.31cm2 and 0.25cm2. The haemodynamic study demonstrated that the VMFSP measured was 22.29cm/s and the IC average was 0.006.

E-mail: likamik@uol.com.br Foram realizados o estudo morfométrico e o estudo hemodinâmico da veia porta em vinte cães clinicamente normais, de idade igual e inferior a 120 dias e em quatorze cães portadores de shunt portossistêmico, de idades entre 90 e 360 dias. Nos cães do grupo controle, as margens hepáticas apresentaram-se entre 1,50cm e 3,00cm caudalmente à margem costal. Os diâmetros médios da veia porta (VP), veia cava caudal (VCC) e aorta abdominal (AO) obtidas foram respectivamente, 0,38cm, 0,37cm e 0,41cm. As proporções entre os diâmetros médios VP/VCC e VP/AO apresentaram médias de 1,10 e 0,94, respectivamente. As médias das áreas da VP, VCC e AO resultaram respectivamente em 0,12cm2 , 0,11cm2 e 0,14cm2. No estudo hemodinâmico da VP destes animais, utilizando-se o ultrassom Doppler, a velocidade média de fluxo sangüíneo portal (VMFSP) mediu 17,76cm/s. A média de fluxo sangüíneo portal (FSP) resultou em 83,11ml/min/kg. O índice de congestão (IC) apresentou média de 0,006. Para o grupo de cães portadores de shunt portossistêmico, o fígado apresentou redução de seu volume, sendo as margens hepáticas visibilizadas entre 1,00cm e 2,00cm cranialmente à margem costal. No estudo morfométrico, as médias dos diâmetros médios obtidos de VP, VCC e AO resultaram respectivamente em 0,40cm, 0,74cm e 0,56cm. As proporções entre os diâmetros médios VP/VCC e VP/AO resultaram respectivamente em 0,54 e 0,69. As médias das áreas de VP, VCC e AO resultaram respectivamente em 0,14cm2, 0,31cm2 e 0,25cm2. Ao ultrassom Doppler a VMFSP mediu 22,29cm/s e a média do IC da VP obtido foi de 0,006.

ABSTRACT.- Santos T.C., Ferrari C.C., Menconi A., Maia M.O., Bombonato P.P. & Pereira C.C.H. 2009. [Veins from hepatic portal vein system in domestic geese.] Veias do sistema porta-hepático em gansos domésticos. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 29(4):327-332. Departamento de Cirurgia, Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária, Universidade de São Paulo, Av. Prof. Dr. Orlando Marques de Paiva 87, Cidade Universitária, São Paulo, SP 05508-270, Brazil. E-mail: bombonat@usp.br The intraparenchymal distribution of the hepatic portal veins in 30 domestic geese were studied. Stained Neoprene latex was injected into the isquiatic vessels, and the animals were fixed in 10% formaldehyde by immersion and intramuscular injection. The liver of geese was composed of a large right and a smaller left hepatic lobe, connected by a parenchyma bridge. The right hepatic lobe had vessels exclusively from the hepatic portal system composed by intraparenchymal distribution of the right hepatic portal vein, while the vessels of the left hepatic lobe came from the right hepatic portal vein and from small left hepatic portal veins. The right hepatic portal vein emitted the right caudal branch, which emitted a small right caudolateral branch and a large right caudomedial branch. Cranially this vein emitted right cranial and right lateral branches. The tranverse portion of the right hepatic portal vein crossed to the left hepatic lobe, emitting 1 to 6 small cranial and caudal branches to the medial area of the liver. In the left hepatic lobe, the left branch from the right hepatic vein emitted the left cranial, left lateral and left median branches. One to six left hepatic portal veins were identified arising from the left branch or from the transverse portion of the right hepatic portal vein. These vessels arose from the gizzard and pro-ventricle. In 40% of geese one proper hepatic portal vein originated from venous vessels of the gizzard and was distributed into the caudal extremity of the left hepatic isolated lobe.
