Background: Previous studies have shown that activation of the descending noradrenergic inhibition pathway results in analgesia after surgery. However, the time course of activity of the descending noradrenergic pathway after surgery has not been examined previously. Here, we investigated the spinal release of noradrenaline (NA) in the post‐operative period in a freely moving rat model of incisional pain. Methods: Loop microdialysis catheters were implanted subarachnoidally via the atlanto‐occipital membrane in Sprague–Dawley rats. Twelve healthy rats without neural deficits were divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, following 5 days of recovery. A plantar incision in the right hind paws of rats in Group A was performed under 1.2% isoflurane. All rats in Group B were only anesthetized by 1.2% isoflurane for the same duration. The microdialysate samples for NA determination were collected before anesthesia, 3 h and 1, 2 and 3 days after incision (or isoflurane anesthesia in Group B) in both groups. The cumulative pain scores were assessed at the above time points. Results: The spinal release of NA increased gradually, peaked at 2 days after the incision and remained at the peak level up to the third day after the incision. The cumulative pain scores peaked 3 h after the incision, and gradually decreased afterwards and returned to the baseline values 3 days after the incision. Conclusions: The descending NA tone might be apparently more active in the post‐operative period. The descending noradrenergic inhibitory pathway plays an important role in post‐operative neuroplasticity.  相似文献

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on norepinephrine(NE)release in midbrain periaqueductal gray(PAG)in a rat model of incisional pain.Methods Twenty-four male Wistar rats in which microdialvsis catheter was successfully placed in the ventrolateral region of PAG without complications were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=6 each):group control(group C);group incisional pain(group IP);group dexmetomidine(group D)and group dexmedetomidine+yohimbine(group DY).Incisional pain was induced by an incision made into the plantar surface of left hindpaw in IP,D,DY groups.Dexmedetomidine 30 μg/kg and dexmedetomidine 30 μg/kg+yohimbine 0.5 mg/kg were given intraperitoneally at 15 min before plantar incision in group D and group DY respectively.Mechanical paw withdrawal threshold(MWT)to von Frey filament stimulation was measured at 30 min before(baseline)and 1,2,3,4 h after operation in C,IP,D groups,and at 30 min before(baseline),and 1 h after operation in group DY.Dialysate samples were collected at 30 min before(baseline)and at evcry 30 min after operation for 4 h via cerebral microdialysis catheter for determination of the NE concentration in C,IP,D groups,and at 30 min before(baseline),30,60 min after operation in group DY.Results Incisional pain significantly decreased MWT and increased the NE concentration in dialysate in group IP.Dexmedetomidine premedication significantly inhibited mechanical hyperalgesia and attenuated incisional pain-induced increase in the NE concentration in dialysate in group D.Yohimbine counteracted effects of dexmedetomidine.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine has analgesic effect though inhibition of NE release from PAG.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Drugs that block spinal excitatory amino acid receptor activation may prevent pain after surgery. The authors previously studied the effect of excitatory amino acid receptor antagonists after incision. In the present study, we examined the role of N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA), non-NMDA, and metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) on the development of pain behavior after plantar incision. METHODS: Rats with lumbar intrathecal catheters were anesthetized with halothane. Fifteen minutes before an incision was made, drug [40 nmol MK-801; 20 nmol NBQX; or 200 nmol (+)-MCPG] or vehicle was injected intrathecally followed by an infusion of the same drug for 75 min. Withdrawal thresholds to calibrated von Frey filaments applied adjacent to the wound and response frequencies to a blunt mechanical stimulus applied directly to the wound were measured before incision and 1, 2, 4, and 6 h after incision and then once daily for 6 days. RESULTS: Preincision treatments with antagonists against the NMDA (MK-801) and group I and II metabotropic receptors [(+)-MCPG] did not inhibit the development of mechanical hyperalgesia caused by incision. Preincision treatment with the non-NMDA receptor antagonist NBQX increased withdrawal thresholds at 1 and 2 h and on postoperative day 1 compared with the vehicle group; response frequencies were reduced 1 and 2 h after incision and on postoperative day 2 (P < 0.05). In an additional group, postincision treatment with NBQX was similar to preincision treatment. CONCLUSION: Spinal NMDA and mGluR antagonists may not be useful for preventing postsurgical pain. Spinal non-NMDA receptor antagonists reduced pain behaviors, but a preventive effect using preincision treatment was not apparent.  相似文献

Studies concerning neurotransmitter release following cerebral hypoxia are scarce, and the effects of mild hypothermia on hypoxia-induced neurotransmitter release are unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in excitatory amino acid (EAA) concentrations and nitric oxide (NO) synthesis following cerebral hypoxia in rats, and the effects of mild hypothermia on both. Cerebral hypoxia (PaO2, 30-40 mm Hg) was induced in each rat for 60 min. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured by laser-Doppler flowmetry, and the extracellular concentrations of EAAs and NO end-products (nitrite and nitrate) were measured by in vivo microdialysis in normothermic (37 degrees C) and hypothermic (32 degrees C) rats. In both groups, CBF showed modest increases during hypoxia and returned to baseline during reoxygenation. The EAA levels of the normothermic rats increased markedly after hypoxia induction and returned to baseline levels during reoxygenation. Hypothermia abolished these increases completely. The NO end-product levels under normothermic conditions declined slightly during hypoxia, and then increased transiently during reoxygenation. Hypothermia appeared to attenuate the NO end-product level and to delay the peak. When the relationship between glutamate and the NO end-products was examined on an individual-animal basis, glutamate release did not parallel NO synthesis. The results indicate that hypothermic neuroprotection during cerebral hypoxia may be attributable to the amelioration of damage by reduction of presynaptic EAA release. Although it is unclear from the present results alone whether endothelial NO synthase, neuronal NO synthase or both caused the elevation of the NO end-products during reoxygenation, it is possible that the attenuation and delay of the peak of the NO end-product level plays a role in protection from NO-induced neuronal damage.  相似文献

Nerve Growth Factor Expression after Plantar Incision in the Rat   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Background: Postoperative pain control remains a significant problem. Advances will proceed if we can further reveal the underlying mechanisms of incisional pain and its mediators. Previous studies have demonstrated that nerve growth factor (NGF) is released in incised tissue and contributes to hyperalgesia in incisional pain. The purpose of this study is to examine the expression of NGF in skin after planter incision.

Methods: Adult Sprague-Dawley rats underwent incision at the plantar aspect of hind paw. The NGF messenger RNA (mRNA) was measured at various times after incision by polymerase chain reaction. NGF protein expression was detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry in incisions.

Results: NGF mRNA increased from 2 to 4 h after incision and was the same as control by postoperative day 1. A large-molecular-weight form of NGF, approximately 75 kd, was found in normal skin. The large-molecular-weight NGF protein increased 4 h after incision and returned to baseline on postoperative day 7. The skin immediately adjacent to the incision had the greatest NGF expression. Immunohistochemical staining for NGF was present adjacent to the incision and localized in Schwann cells and axons.  相似文献

Immunohistochemical staining for NGF was present adjacent to the incision and localized in Schwann cells and axons. CONCLUSION: NGF mRNA is increased and a large-molecular-weight form of NGF protein is expressed in the region adjacent to the incision. NGF immunoreactivity is present in nerve bundles; both Schwann cells and axons are labeled. Immunoreactive NGF in axons is likely taken up into cut axons. This study suggests some common mechanisms for neuropathic and incisional pain.  相似文献
