Summary: | Histological and microbiological
comparative analysis of bovine
pericardium preserved for 30 and 60 days
in glycerin (98%), supersaturated sugar
solution (300%), supersaturated solution
of salt (150%) and unprocessed honey
were performed aiming to establish
alternative ways of preservation of
biological membranes. Samples of
pericardium from five cattle were collected
in fridge and maintained for up to 60 days
in containers with the above mentioned
solutions of conservation. For
morphological analysis of the constituents
of bovine pericardium were performed
routine histological techniques associated
to two microbiological culture techniques:
streaking on the surface of the plate and
pour-plate. The supersaturated solution of
sugar (300%) was the medium of
preservation with results closer to the
obtained with glycerin (98%), but was
unable to prevent microorganisms growth.
The unprocessed honey and
supersaturated solution of salt (150%) had
suitable antiseptic characteristics, but
failed to effectively conserve the
pericardium, with a greater structural
disorganization of the connective tissue,
indicating advanced process of autolysis
after 60 days of storage. It was concluded
that glycerin (98%) appeared as the most
efficient solution when compared to the
others evaluated in this study. |
