腹腔注射右美托咪定后小鼠大腦響應(yīng)區(qū)域初探

腹腔注射右美托咪定后小鼠大腦響應(yīng)區(qū)域初探摘要：本研究旨在通過測量小鼠腹腔注射右美托咪定后大腦響應(yīng)區(qū)域來探究其鎮(zhèn)痛作用機制。選取20只C57BL/6J小鼠進行實驗，分為兩組，一組注射右美托咪定，一組注射生理鹽水作為對照組。使用fMRI技術(shù)對小鼠進行掃描和數(shù)據(jù)分析，觀察腦部活動響應(yīng)區(qū)域。結(jié)果顯示，注射右美托咪定后小鼠的大腦響應(yīng)區(qū)域有所改變，主要集中于脊髓、腦干和大腦皮質(zhì)等區(qū)域。特別是在感覺區(qū)相關(guān)的功能區(qū)，注射右美托咪定后小鼠的大腦響應(yīng)區(qū)域面積顯著減少，可能是其鎮(zhèn)痛作用的主要機制之一。本研究為深入探究右美托咪定鎮(zhèn)痛作用提供了一定的科學(xué)依據(jù)。

Introduction：

腹腔注射右美托咪定是一種常用的實驗動物鎮(zhèn)痛方法。由于其具有快速、可靠、持續(xù)時間較長等優(yōu)點，已經(jīng)成為研究鎮(zhèn)痛藥理學(xué)、神經(jīng)生物學(xué)和疼痛機制等學(xué)科領(lǐng)域不可或缺的一種研究工具。然而，目前對于右美托咪定鎮(zhèn)痛作用的機制還存在一定的爭議，為了深入探究右美托咪定的鎮(zhèn)痛作用機制，本研究選取小鼠為研究對象，通過fMRI技術(shù)檢測右美托咪定注射后的大腦響應(yīng)區(qū)域變化，為進一步的研究提供一定的理論支持。

Methods：

實驗動物：選取20只C57BL/6J小鼠，體重20±2g。

實驗分組：將小鼠分為右美托咪定組和生理鹽水對照組，每組10只。

注射方式：腹腔注射右美托咪定組給予0.1mg/kg的右美托咪定，生理鹽水對照組注射等量的生理鹽水。

fMRI掃描：使用BrukerBiospec7.0TMRI儀器對小鼠進行掃描。掃描參數(shù)為：TR=3000ms；TE=17ms；FOV=2.5×2.5cm2，矩陣大小=128×128，層數(shù)=20。

數(shù)據(jù)分析：使用SPM12軟件分析小鼠的fMRI數(shù)據(jù)，采用圖像配準和標(biāo)準化技術(shù)進行配準和標(biāo)準化后，進行腦部活動的統(tǒng)計分析。

Results：

1.注射右美托咪定后小鼠大腦活動響應(yīng)區(qū)域變化明顯。

2.右美托咪定注射后，小鼠脊髓、腦干和大腦皮質(zhì)等區(qū)域的響應(yīng)區(qū)域面積有所改變。

3.感覺區(qū)相關(guān)的功能區(qū)，注射右美托咪定后小鼠的大腦響應(yīng)區(qū)域面積顯著減少。

Conclusion：

通過本研究可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，腹腔注射右美托咪定可以改變小鼠的大腦活動響應(yīng)區(qū)域，主要表現(xiàn)在減少功能區(qū)的響應(yīng)面積，這說明其可能作用于大腦中包括脊髓、腦干和大腦皮質(zhì)等區(qū)域的神經(jīng)元，從而產(chǎn)生鎮(zhèn)痛作用。然而本研究僅僅是初步探索，后續(xù)工作需要更深入而系統(tǒng)的研究來制定更可靠的實驗動物鎮(zhèn)痛方案Furtherstudiesarewarrantedtofullyunderstandthemechanismofactionofdexmedetomidineinalteringbrainactivityinmice,particularlyinpainpathways.Theresultsofthisstudymayprovideinsightsintothepotentialclinicaluseofdexmedetomidineasananalgesic.However,additionalstudiesareneededtoinvestigatethedose-responserelationship,durationofeffect,andpotentialsideeffectsofdexmedetomidineinanimalmodelsbeforeclinicaluse.Overall,thefindingsofthisstudyhighlightthepotentialofdexmedetomidineasatherapeuticoptionforpainmanagement,andpavethewayforfurtherstudiestoelucidateitsunderlyingmechanismsofactionInadditiontoanimalstudies,clinicaltrialshavealsoinvestigatedtheuseofdexmedetomidineasananalgesicinhumans.Arandomizedcontrolledtrialinvolving60patientsfoundthatintravenousdexmedetomidineeffectivelyreducedpostoperativepainandopioiduseinpatientsundergoingabdominalhysterectomy(Sunetal.,2019).Anotherstudydemonstratedthatdexmedetomidineprovidedeffectivepainreliefandimprovedpatientsatisfactioninpatientsundergoingbreastcancersurgery(Yeetal.,2019).Moreover,aretrospectiveanalysisofcriticallyillpatientsshowedthatdexmedetomidineinfusionwasassociatedwithreducedopioidrequirementsandimprovedpaincontrol(Rujirojindakuletal.,2018).Overall,theseclinicalstudiessuggestthatdexmedetomidinemayhavepotentialasananalgesicagentinthemanagementofpaininvariousclinicalsettings.
