RESUMO
Bronchiectasis occurred naturally in 12-month-old spontaneously diabetic eSS male rats. The lungs of 3 and 6-month-old eSS rats were compared in eumetabolic eSS rats from three inbred lines consisting of inbred spontaneously diabetic eSS derived from IIM strain; these were compared with eumetabolic, outbred Wistar rats, paired by sex and age. Acrylic casts of bronchial tree were obtained after injection of a plastic substance. The casts were pruned to focus on the first four bronchial branchings. Diameter and volume of the conductive bronchial tree were determined using a binocular magnifier. Histological sections were obtained. All lines showed multiple bronchiectasis, mostly fusiform, bronchial dilatation and inflammatory response with lymphocytic infiltrates. These symptoms were much more severe in 180-day-old eSS males. Bacteria were isolated from the lungs in 70% of cases (n = 32), except in eSS rats. Pseudomonas spp. (38%) and Gram-positive cocci as coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp. (20%) were detected. Neither pathogenic bacteria nor saprophyte fungi were found. Although all lines were affected, diabetes in eSS appears to be an aggravating factor.

Ante la aparición espontánea de bronquiectasias en ratas macho eSS diabéticas, se examinaron los pulmones de ratas eSS de 3 a 6 meses de edad y los de ratas eumetabólica de tres líneas: eSS endocriada con diabetes espontánea tipo 2 derevida de la cepa IIM; líneas e, m y alfa endocriadas, y Wistar eumetabólica y exocriada, agrupadas según sexo y edad. Se obtuvieron moldes se recortaron y se concentró la observación en las primeras cuatro ramificaciones bronquiales; se determinaron el diámetro y el volumen con la lente binocular de aumento. Además, se obtuvieron cortes histológicos. Aunque en todas las líneas se observaron bronquiectasias múltiples, principalmente fusiformes, la dilatación bronquial y la respuesta inflamatoria con los infiltrados linfocíticos fueron mucho más graves en los machoos eSS de 180 días de edad. En el 70 por ciento de los casos (n=32) se aislaron bacterias en los pulmones, excepto en las ratas eSS. Se detectaron Pseudomona spp. (38 por ciento) y cocos Gram positivos en forma de Staphylococcus spp. coagulasa negativos (20 por ciento). No se encontraton hongos patógenos ni saprofíticos. Si bien todas las líneas aparecen afectadas, la diabetes de eSS sería un factor agravante
