Öğe Effects of dexmedetomidine and midazolam on motor coordination and analgesia: A comparative analysis(2013) Aydogan M.S.; Parlakpinar H.; Ali Erdogan M.; Yucel A.; Ucar M.; Sa?ir M.; Colak C.Objective: We compared the effects of 2 sedative drugs, dexmedetomidine and midazolam, on motor performance and analgesic efficacy in a rat model. Materials and methods: Rats were randomly divided into the following 4 groups on the basis of the treatment received. The first group received 83 ?g/kg/min midazolam; the second, 1 ?g/kg/min dexmedetomidine; the third, 83 ?g/kg/min morphine; and the fourth was a control group. The rats were measured motor coordination and pain reflexes by using rotarod, accelerod, hot plate, and tail flick tests. Results: At all the tested speeds, the midazolam-injected rats remained on the rotarod longer than did the dexmedetomidine-injected rats. Furthermore, in the 10-minute accelerod test, the midazolam-injected rats remained for a longer duration than did the dexmedetomidine-injected rats. The latency time for the hot plate test was significantly higher at 10 minutes and 20 minutes in the dexmedetomidine group than in the midazolam group. Further, the latency time at 10 minutes for the tail flick test was greater in the dexmedetomidine group than in the midazolam group. Conclusions: In this rat model, midazolam results in faster recovery of motor coordination performance when compared with dexmedetomidine. © 2013 The Authors.Öğe Effects of Perineural Administration of Dexmedetomidine in Combination with Levobupivacaine in a Rat Sciatic Nerve Block(2013) Ali Erdogan M.; Polat A.; Yucel A.; Aydogan M.S.; Parlakpinar H.; Tekin S.; Durmus M.Objective: The aim of this study was to assess if perineural administration of dexmedetomidine combined with levobupivacaine increases the duration of the sensory and motor blockade of a sciatic peripheral nerve block in rats. Methods: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 experimental groups: Group 1, sham; Group 2, perineural levobupivacaine (0.2 mL of a 0.5% solution) and subcutaneous saline; Group 3, perineural levobupivacaine (0.2 mL of a 0.5% solution) plus dexmedetomidine (20 ?g/kg dexmedetomidine) and subcutaneous saline; Group 4, perineural saline and subcutaneous dexmedetomidine; and Group 5, perineural saline and subcutaneous saline. Pain reflexes in response to a thermal stimulus were measured at 0 and 240 minutes after drug administration by using a hot-plate and tail-flick tests. Neurobehavioral status, including sensory and motor functions, was assessed by an investigator who was blinded to the experimental groups every 30 minutes until normal functioning resumed. Results: The sensory and motor blockades of the rats did not increase in the treatment with dexmedetomidine plus levobupivacaine when compared with the treatment with levobupivacaine alone at all the time points ( P > 0.05). Compared with rats in Group 2, those in Group 3 showed significantly higher latency times at 30 and 60 minutes in the hot plate test ( P < 0.01). At 30 and 60 minutes, the latency times of the rats in Group 3 were longer than those in Group 2 in the tail-flick test ( P < 0.01). Furthermore, the durations of the complete sensory and motor blockade were similar when treatment with levobupivacaine plus dexmedetomidine was compared with treatment with levobupivacaine alone. Conclusions: A 20?g/kg dose of dexmedetomidine added to levobupivacaine did not increase the duration of the sensory and motor blockades in rats. However, treatment with dexmedetomidine plus levobupivacaine increased the quality of analgesia in rats. © 2013 The Authors.Öğe Protective effects of melatonin and ?-D-Glucan against liver injury in rats - A comparative study(Wroclaw University of Medicine, 2013) Aydogan M.S.; Erdogan M.A.; Polat A.; Yücel A.; Ozgül U.; Parlakpinar H.; Duran Z.R.Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible protective effects of melatonin and ?-D-glucan against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. Materials and Methods. Forty rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, each consisting of 8 animals, as follows. Sham group [S], IR group [C], IR + ?-Glucan group [?], IR + melatonin group [MLT], IR + melatonin + ?-Glucan group [MLT + ?]. The rats in the C, ?, MLT and MLT + ? groups were subjected to IR for 60 min each. Melatonin (10 mg·kg-1) was intraperitoneally injected for a single dose 30 min before IR. ?-Glucan (50 mg·kg-1·day -1) was orally administered for 10 days to rats. All of the rats were killed on day 11, and histological changes in the liver and tissue levels of oxidants and antioxidants were evaluated. Results. Malondialdehyde [MDA] level were significantly higher in the C group compared to the S group (p = 0.007). MDA level were significantly higher in the ? group compared to the MLT and MLT + ? groups (p =0.007). Tissue antioxidant markers (superoxide dismut ase [SOD], glutathione-peroxidase [GPx], and catalase [CAT]) were significantly lower in the C group than the S group (p < 0.05). SOD levels were simply not significant in the < group compared to the MLT and MLT + < groups. CAT and GPx activities were significantly higher in the ? group compared to the MLT and MLT + ? groups (p = 0.004).The histological damage ameliorated in ?, MLT and MLT + ? groups compared to C group. Conclusion. Our results suggest that melatonin and P-glucan combination pretreatment suppressed oxidative stress and increased antioxidant levels in an experimental rat model of liver IR injury. © Copyright by Wroclaw Medical University.
