Abstract in Portuguese
Enquanto o papel dos enxertos cartilaginosos na reconstrução da lamela interna palpebral está bem estabelecido, o crescimento da conjuntiva sobre ele, proveniente de áreas adjacentes, necessita de comprovação mais aprofundada. Este estudo tem como objetivos analisar comparativamente, após a reconstrução palpebral inferior com enxertos de cartilagem auricular conchal com e sem pericôndrio, em ambas as pálpebras inferiores de coelhos, a presença de crescimento conjuntival sobre os enxertos, a área de epitelização conjuntival sobre eles, a integridade da estrutura corneana dos globos oculares em contato com os enxertos cartilaginosos e a presença de alterações das áreas dos enxertos de cartilagem com e sem pericôndrio, após sua implantação. Foram utilizados, para o experimento, 50 coelhos albinos adultos da raça New Zealand (Oryctolagus cuniculus), entre 3 e 4 meses de vida, com pesos médios variando de 2,5 a 3,0 quilogramas no início do experimento, provenientes do biotério da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. Cem pálpebras inferiores foram reconstruídas em sua lamela interna, com enxertos autógenos de cartilagem auricular conchal, e cobertos com retalho miocutâneo. As pálpebras do lado direito receberam enxerto de cartilagem com pericôndrio posicionado em contato direto com o globo ocular, enquanto as do lado esquerdo foram reconstruídas da mesma forma, porém com enxertos cartilaginosos sem pericôndrio. A cada semana, em um total de 5 semanas, eram sacrificados 10 animais após a reconstrução palpebral, e suas pálpebras inferiores foram analisadas macroscópica e histologicamente. A planimetria digital demonstrou que, com 5 semanas, a área média das cartilagens com pericôndrio apresentava redução de 8,33%, e a área média das cartilagens sem pericôndrio encontravase reduzida em 18,52%. Detectou-se, em cada semana de avaliação, que as áreas das cartilagens com pericôndrio se apresentaram significativamente maiores do que aquelas sem pericôndrio nas semanas 4 e 5 (p=0,0003 e p=0,0001, respectivamente), e uma tendência para significância na semana 2 (0,0706). Na primeira e terceira semanas, a diferença entre as áreas se manteve igual (p=0,8583 e p=0,2092). Em relação ao crescimento conjuntival, observouse que a diferença porcentual do crescimento sobre as cartilagens com e sem pericôndrio foi de 11,41% na primeira semana do experimento, de 13,64% na segunda semana, de 18,69% na terceira, de 10,38% na quarta, e de 6,17% na quinta. Observou-se, em cada semana do experimento, que a porcentagem média de crescimento da conjuntiva nas pálpebras reconstruídas com enxerto condro-pericondral apresentou-se significativamente maior do que aquelas apenas com enxerto cartilaginoso nas 5 semanas do experimento (p<0,0001). Observou-se que houve crescimento conjuntival sobre os enxertos de cartilagem em contato direto com o globo ocular, ocorrendo tanto nas cartilagens com pericôndrio, como naquelas que não o possuíam. A área de cobertura conjuntival com 5 semanas nas cartilagens com pericôndrio, foi maior do que a observada nas cartilagens sem pericôndrio. Não houve ceratite ou úlceras de córnea na maioria da amostra estudada e houve diminuição das áreas dos enxertos cartilaginosos em graus variados, com maior intensidade nos enxertos sem pericôndrio.

Abstract in English
Although the role of cartilage grafts in reconstruction of the posterior eyelid lamella is well established, conjunctival epithelialization on such grafts has yet to be fully proven. The aim of this study is to perform a comparative analysis, after inferior eyelid reconstruction in rabbits with cartilage grafts with and without perichondrium, the presence of conjunctival epithelialization over conchal cartilage grafts, the area of conjunctival epithelialization over those grafts, the integrity of the corneal structure in contact with the cartilage grafts and the variation of the areas of the cartilage grafts with and without perichondrium. Fifty adult albino New Zealand rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) between 3 and 4 months of age with average weights from 2.5 to 3.0 kilograms from the University of São Paulo Medical School animal colony were used for the experiment. The posterior lamellae of 100 lower eyelids from were reconstructed with autogenous grafts of conchal ear cartilage and covered with a myocutaneous flap. In the right eyelids, cartilage was grafted with the perichondrium in direct contact with the eyeball, while the left eyelids were reconstructed in a similar manner but using cartilage grafts without perichondrium. The animals were sacrificed after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks after eyelid reconstruction, and their lower eyelids were analyzed macroscopically and histologically. The digital planimetry has demonstrated that in the first week of the experiment there was a reduction of 8,33%, in the average area of the cartilages with perichondrium and a reduction of 18,52% in the average area of the cartilages with perichondrium. The average areas of the cartilages with perichondrium were significantly larger than those on cartilages without perichondrium in weeks 4 and 5 (p=0,0003 and p=0,0001, respectively) and tended to vary over the week 2 (0,0706). No difference was noted between the areas in weeks 1 and 3 (p=0,8583 and p=0,2092). When the conjunctival growth was assessed, it was found that the percentage difference in conjunctival epithelialization on the cartilage with perichondrium and that without perichondrium was 11.41% in the first week of the experiment, 13.64% in the second week, 18.69% in the third, 10.38% in the fourth and 6.17% in the fifth. The average percentage conjunctival epithelialization in the eyelids reconstructed with a cartilage graft with perichondrium was significantly higher for the five weeks of the experiment than that in the eyelids reconstructed with cartilage without perichondrium (p<0.0001). It was found that there was conjunctival growth on the cartilage grafts with and without perichondrium when they were placed in direct contact with the eye. The area of the epithelialization on cartilages with perichondrium was larger than that on cartilages without perichondrium in week 5. Neither keratitis nor corneal ulcers were observed during the 5 weeks of the experiment in the majority of the animals operated on and there was reduction in the areas of the grafts in various degrees, with larger intensity in the grafts without perichondrium.
