چکیده

introduction: ischaemic-reperfusion nerve injury has been suggested as the mechanism for post-tourniquet limb paralysis. as dexamethasone (dex) has been shown to prevent ischaemic-reperfusion process in some tissues, we tested the hypothesis that this drug would reduce tourniquet induced nerve injury. methods: 36 male wistar rats (200-250 gr) were chosen and divided randomly into 6 equal groups as sham operated, vehicle, control and treatments (dex1, dex2 and dex3). tourniquet was applied to the right hind limb of all animals except of sham and vehicle groups for 3 hours at the beginning of experiments. animals of control and vehicle groups were injected by 1 cc vehicle (normal saline containing 4% ethanol). animals of dex1, dex2 and dex3 groups were injected by 1mg/kg, 2mg/kg and 3mg/kg dexamethasone solution respectively 30 min before fastening tourniquet, 30 min after releasing tourniquet and daily during the week of experiment. motor nerve conduction velocity (mncv) was measured one week after releasing the tourniquet. results: mncv of tibial nerve in response to nerve stimulation were measured at 1 week post-tourniquet release. application of the tourniquet for 3 h decreased significantly (p<0.001) mncv in all animals. dexamethasone administration in doses of 2mg/kg and 3mg/kg (dex2 and dex3 groups) resulted in a significant improvement of mncv (p<0.001) in comparison to control group. conclusion: these data indicated that dexamethasone administration in doses of 2mg/kg and 3mg/kg could prevent nerve conduction velocity loss in tourniquet neurepathic rat.

Effect of dexamethasone on preventing tibial nerve conduction velocity loss in tourniquet neuropathic rat

Introduction: Ischemic-reperfusion nerve injury has been suggested as the mechanism for post-tourniquet limb paralysis. Dexamethasone (Dex) has been known to prevent ischemic-reperfusion side effects in some tissues, we here evaluated its possible preventing effect on tourniquet induced nerve injury. Methods: 36 male Wistar rats (200-250 g) were divided randomly into 6 equal groups named as Sha...

Evaluation of date extract on nerve conduction velocity in male rat

Abstract Introduction: neuropathy is a condition in which the peripheral nervous system is disrupted. The study of the effects of antioxidants on the performance improvement of this system is vital. This study was aimed at the investigation of the effects of date extract on nerve conduction velocity, distal latency, and wave height of the sciatic nerve in male rats. Materials and Methods: thi...

The Effect of the Silicone Ring Tourniquet and Standard Pneumatic Tourniquet on the Motor Nerve Conduction, Pain and Grip Strength in Healthy Volunteers

  Background: The pneumatic tourniquet (PT) is routinely used in upper and lower limb operations by most orthopaedic surgeons. The silicone ring tourniquet (SRT) was introduced in clinical practice the last decade. Clinical as well comparative studies in volunteers concerning its safety and efficacy have been published. The aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative effect of the si...

The effect of tubocurarine on ulnar nerve conduction velocity.

Nerve conduction velocity was studied in the ulnar nerve of human subjects during general anaesthesia. An increase in velocity of between 1.9 and 4.8 per cent occurred following the administration of paralytic doses of tubocurarine to subjects receiving nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane anaesthesia in whom ventilation was controlled. This increase in velocity did not appear to be related to a...

Effect of tramadol on the rat sciatic nerve conduction: a numerical analysis and conduction velocity distribution study.

The aim of this study was to document the effect of tramadol as an opioid on individual fibers of rat sciatic nerve. To accomplish this objective, compound action potentials (CAPs) were recorded from isolated nerves treated with tramadol from five different concentration levels. Then recorded CAPs and the control group were analyzed by numerical methods namely Conduction Velocity Distribution (...
