dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to compare the effect of charged and discharged alkaline batteries on esophageal tissue, and to determine the impact of duration due to the exposure to alkaline batteries. Thirty-five rabbits were divided into 5 groups each containing 7 rabbits. Alkaline batteries were ingested by rabbits [except for the control group [Group 1]]. Rabbits in Group 2 were exposed to discharged alkaline batteries for 180 minutes. In Group 3-5, the fully charged batteries were left in esophagus for 60, 120, and 180 minutes, respectively. Macroscopic appearance of esophageal mucosa as well as histopathologic examination of battery induced esophageal injury and pH of environment were compared. Battery capsules were intact in each group. No color change was observed in the anode pole of batteries for Group 2. Color change was evident in the anode pole of batteries for 3 rabbits in Group 3, in 4 rabbits in Group 4, and in 7 rabbits from Group 5; while no significant change was observed in any rabbit from Group 2. Histopathologically, mucosal erosion was observed in 7 rabbits of Group 3. In Group 4, mucosal erosion extended to the internal muscular layer. Necrosis was exceeding external muscular layer in Group 5. Alkaline batteries may cause erosion as a result of electrical currency without corrosive substrate leakage. Duration of exposure is an important determinant of tissue injury.en_US
