Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In this study, we investigated the anesthetic and mucosal effects of the rectal application of dexmedetomidine to rats. METHODS: Male Wistar albino rats weighing 250-300 g were divided into four groups: Group S (n = 8) was a sham group that served as a baseline for the normal basal values; Group C (n = 8) consisted of rats that received the rectal application of saline alone; Group IPDex (n = 8) included rats that received the intraperitoneal application of dexmedetomidine (100 µg kg-1); and Group RecDex (n = 8) included rats that received the rectal application of dexmedetomidine (100 µg kg-1). For the rectal drug administration, we used 22 G intravenous cannulas with the stylets removed. We administered the drugs by advancing the cannula 1 cm into the rectum, and the rectal administration volume was 1 mL for all the rats. The latency and anesthesia time (min) were measured. Two hours after rectal administration, 75 mg kg-1 ketamine was administered for intraperitoneal anesthesia in all the groups, followed by the removal of the rats' rectums to a distal distance of 3 cm via an abdominoperineal surgical procedure. We histopathologically examined and scored the rectums. RESULTS: Anesthesia was achieved in all the rats in the Group RecDex following the administration of dexmedetomidine. The onset of anesthesia in the Group RecDex was significantly later and of a shorter duration than in the Group IPDEx (p < 0.05). In the Group RecDex, the administration of dexmedetomidine induced mild-moderate losses of mucosal architecture in the colon and rectum, 2 h after rectal inoculation. CONCLUSION: Although 100 µg kg-1 dexmedetomidine administered rectally to rats achieved a significantly longer duration of anesthesia compared with the rectal administration of saline, our histopathological evaluations showed that the rectal administration of 100 µg kg-1 dexmedetomidine led to mild-moderate damage to the mucosal structure of the rectum.

Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Neste estudo pesquisamos os efeitos anestésicos e sobre a mucosa da aplicação retal de dexmedetomidina em ratos. MÉTODOS: Ratos machos albinos Wistar, com 250-300 g, foram divididos em quatro grupos: Grupo S (n = 8) foi um grupo sham que serviu de parâmetro para os valores basais normais; Grupo C (n = 8) consistiu em ratos que receberam a aplicação retal apenas de soro fisiológico; Grupo IPDex (n = 8) consistiu em ratos que receberam aplicação intraperitoneal de dexmedetomidina (100 µg kg-1) e Grupo RecDex (n = 8) consistiu em ratos que receberam a aplicação retal de dexmedetomidina (100 µg kg-1). Para a administração dos fármacos por via retal, usamos cânulas intravenosas de calibre 22, com os estiletes removidos. A administração consistiu em avançar a cânula 1 cm no reto e o volume de administração retal foi de 1 mL para todos os ratos. Os tempos (min) de latência e de anestesia foram registrados. Duas horas após a administração por via retal, 75 mg kg-1 de cetamina foram administrados a todos os grupos para anestesia intraperitoneal, seguido por remoção dos retos dos ratos a uma distância 3 cm distal por meio de procedimento cirúrgico abdominoperineal. Os retos foram histopatologicamente examinados e classificados. RESULTADOS: A anestesia foi feita em todos os ratos do grupo RecDex após a administração de dexmedetomidina. O tempo de início da anestesia no Grupo RecDex foi significativamente mais longo e com uma duração mais curta do que no Grupo IPDEx (p < 0,05). No Grupo RecDex, a administração de dexmedetomidina induziu perdas leves a moderadas da arquitetura da mucosa do cólon e reto duas horas após a inoculação retal. CONCLUSÃO: Embora a administração de 100 µg kg-1 de dexmedetomidina por via retal em ratos tenha resultado em uma duração significativamente maior da anestesia, em comparação com a administração retal de soro fisiológico, nossas avaliações histopatológicas mostraram que a administração retal de 100 µg kg-1 de dexmedetomidina ocasionou danos leves a moderados à estrutura da mucosa retal.
