Avaliação da miotoxicidade e neurotoxicidade (com foco na junção neuromuscular) após aplicação de bupivacaina seguida de laser terapia

Pissulin, Cristiane Neves Alessi. January 2016 (has links)
Orientador: Selma Maria Michelin Matheus / Banca: Maeli Dal Pai / Banca: Fausto Viterbo / Banca: Elaine Minatel / Banca: Carlos Eduardo Assumpção de Freitas / Resumo: A bupivacaina é um anestésico utilizado na prática médica e odontológica para bloqueio do nervo periférico e alívio da dor pré e pós-operatória devido à sua ação analgésica de longa duração. Suas principais limitações são a miotoxicidade, a neurotoxicidade e a inflamação. A laserterapia de baixa potência (LBP) tem sido utilizada para várias propostas terapêuticas, apresentando ação anti-inflamatória, regenerativa e analgésica. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o efeito do laser de Arseneto de Gálio (AsGa) sobre a morfologia das junções neuromusculares, fibras musculares e nervo associados ao músculo esternomastóideo de ratos após injeção de bupivacaina. 32 ratos Wistar machos adultos foram divididos em 2 grupos: Grupo Controle (C: n=16) e Grupo Laser (L: n= 16). Os grupos foram subdivididos seguindo os antímeros e substâncias injetadas: direito (bupivacaina 0,5%), esquerdo (Cloreto de sódio 0,9%). Após 24 horas houve aplicação de LBP (AsGa 904nm, 50mW, 4,8J) durante 5 dias consecutivos. A seguir, os animais foram eutanasiados, o sangue foi coletado para determinação da creatina kinase (CK); a porção superficial dos músculos esternomastóideos e os nervos associados foram dissecados, removidos e submetidos às seguintes análises: análise histopatológica e ultraestrutural; análises morfológica e morfométrica das JNMs (reação Esterase inespecífica), microscopia confocal de varredura a laser e análise ultraestrutural; e os nAChRs (alpha, beta e gama) e os níveis de TNF foram quanti...

Its principle limitations are myotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and inflammation. Low-level laser therapy (LBP) has been used for various therapeutic approaches, presenting an anti-inflammatory, regenerative, and analgesic action. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of the Arsenide Gallium laser (GaAs) on the morphology of neuromuscular junctions, muscle fibers, and the nerve associated with the sternomastoid muscle of rats after injection with bupivacaine. In total, 32 adult male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups: Control group (C: n = 16) and Laser Group (L: n = 16). The groups were subdivided according to the antimeres and injected substances: right (0.5% bupivacaine), left (sodium chloride 0.9%). Twenty-four hours after the injection, LBP was applied (GaAs 904nm, 50mW, 4.8J) for 5 consecutive days. Subsequently, the animals were euthanized; blood was collected for determination of creatine kinase (CK); the surface portion of the sternomastoid muscles and associated nerves were dissected, removed, and submitted to the following tests: histopathological and ultrastructural analysis; morphological and morphometric analysis of the JNMs (nonspecific esterase reaction), confocal laser scanning microscopy and ultrastructural analysis; and the nAChRs (alpha, beta, and gamma) and TNF levels were quantified by Western blotting; in addition, nerve morphometry and quantification of muscle CK were performed. No alterations were observed in the antimere which received the sodium chloride, with or without laser application. The muscles receiving bupivacaine presented higher levels of inflammation, atrophy and necrosis, and muscle CK values; a greater number of central nuclei and...
