  • Background: Hypertonic saline is used for treating chronic pain; however, clinical studies that aid in optimizing therapeutic protocols are lacking. We aimed to determine the concentration of intrathecally injected hypertonic saline at which the effect reaches its peak as well as the underlying γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor-related antinociceptive mechanism. Methods: Spinal nerve ligation (SNL; left L5 and L6) was performed to induce neuropathic pain in rats weighing 250-300 g. Experiment 1: one week after implanting the intrathecal catheter, 60 rats were assigned randomly to intrathecal injection with 0.45%, 0.9%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%, and 20% NaCl, followed by behavioral testing at baseline and after 30 minutes, 2 hours, 1 day, and 1 week to determine the minimal concentration which produced maximal analgesia. Experiment 2: after determining the optimal intrathecal hypertonic saline concentration, 60 rats were randomly divided into four groups: Sham, hypertonic saline without pretreatment, and hypertonic saline after pretreatment with one of two GABA receptor antagonists (GABAA [bicuculline], or GABAB [phaclofen]). Behavioral tests were performed at weeks 1 and 3 following each treatment. Results: Hypertonic saline at concentrations greater than 5% alleviated SNL-induced mechanical allodynia and had a significant therapeutic effect, while showing a partial time- and dose-dependent antinociceptive effect on thermal and cold hyperalgesia. However, pretreatment with GABA receptor antagonists inhibited the antinociceptive effect of 5% NaCl. Conclusions: This study indicates that the optimal concentration of hypertonic saline for controlling mechanical allodynia in neuropathic pain is 5%, and that its analgesic effect is related to GABAA and GABAB receptors.

  • Background: Epidural Adhesiolysis is an interventional pain management technique for patients with low back pain. In addition to local anesthetics and corticosteroid, hypertonic saline (NaCl) are used for the technique. Present study was aimed to compare analgesic and adverse effects of two different concentration of hypertonic saline in Epidural Adhesiolysis. Methods: Fifty-three subjects with low back pain with radiculopathy were assigned to one of two epidural adhesiolysis treatment groups: 8% (Group I, n=26) or 10% (Group II, n=27) hypertonic saline. 17 G epidural needle was inserted at sacral hiatus and catheter was advanced untill its tip was located at lesion site under fluoroscopic guidance. Subjects in all treatment groups received epidural corticosteroid and local anesthetic. And then, hypertonic saline injection via catheter were carried out daily for 3 days. Evaluation included assessment of pain relief (Numerical Rating Scale; NRS) at post-epidural adhesiolysis 1, 2, 3 days, 1 week, and 1, 3 months. We also looked for complications of epidural adhesiolysis at different concentration of hypertonic saline. Results: Statistical analysis demonstrated that NRS was not significantly different between two groups during 3 months after epidural adhesiolysis. There were no major differences of complications between two groups and disappeard after a few months without residual sequelae. Conclusions: We conclude that epidural adhesiolysis using 8% hypertonic saline is effective for relief of low back pain with proven lumbosacral fibrosis without any residual sequelae compared with 10%.

  • Surgical castration (also known as orchidectomy, ORX) has been frequently performed to avoid uncontrolled breeding. However, it has some serious disadvantages. Several laboratories have developed chemical castration methods, using bilateral intratesticular injection (BITI) of simple chemical solutions. The present study was undertaken to compare the effects of ORX and of hypertonic saline BITI on the androgen-sensitive tissues such as pituitary and hypothalamus. Serum testosterone (T) levels of ORX animals and hypertonic saline BITI animals (SAL) after 4 weeks of the manipulations exhibited significantly drops as compared with the levels of intact animals ( $Intact:ORX:SAL=7.74{\pm}1.31:1.34{\pm}0.19:1.28{\pm}0.18ng/ml$, p<0.001). Both ORX and BITI method induced similar stimulatory effects on the pituitary gonadotropin subunits and hypothalamic KiSS-1 gene expressions. In contrast, the effects of ORX and hypertonic saline BITI on hypothalamic GnRH gene expression were different from these gene expressions, shown an inverse relationship between the two groups ($Intact:ORX:SAL=1:0.45{\pm}0.06:1:2.07{\pm}0.41:1.51{\pm}0.37AU$; ORX, p<0.001; SAL, p<0.05). In conclusion, we provided evidence that hypertonic saline BITI method has equivalent efficacy of T depletion to surgical castration in rats. The present study suggests the hypertonic saline BITI could be a promising substitute to conventional surgical castration.

  • Using modified technique of Schmidt et al, as described previously (Korean J. Pharmacol 9 : 17, 1973), the stomach of female rats were perfused with physiological saline under urethane anesthesia. The acid-secretory response of the perfused stomach to i.v. hypertonic glucose (50%), casein hydrolysate (20%) or saline (6%) solution were studied with or without histamine or methacholine stimulation. A significant decrease of acid secretion from the rat stomach was induced by i.v. hypertonic glucose or saline solution. The histamine-stimulated acid secretion was also decreased by simultaneous administration of the hypertonic glucose or saline. However, methacholine-stimulated acid response was not affected by the hypertonic glucose. Intravenous infusion of 20% casein hydrolysate solution resulted in an increase in acid output from the stomach under histamine stimuli. These results lead to the conclusion that the inhibitory responses of acid secretion due to i.v. hypertonic glucose solution are brought through the effect of histaminergic, not cholnergic mechanism(s) in the gastric secretion.

  • To evaluate the protoscolicidal effects of various concentrations of hypertonic glucose, live protoscolices of sheep were exposed to 10%, 15%, 25% and 50% glucose solutions. Cetrimide (0.5%), silver nitrate (0.5%) and hypertonic saline (20%) were used as positive controls, while physiological saline was used as a negative control. After 1, 2 and 5 min, the protoscolicidal effects were determined by 1 % eosin. A 25% glucose solution had no significant protoscolicidal effect. However, a 50% glucose solution revealed higher protoscolicidal effect than 0.5% silver nitrate but weaker effect than 0.5% cetrimide; the effect was comparable with that of 20% hypertonic saline. The results showed that hypertonic glucose solution is highly effective in killing protoscolices of Echinococcus granulosus in vitro.

  • Previous studies, including our own, have demonstrated that the intratesticular injection of hypertonic saline (20%) decreased serum testosterone level which was similar to the surgical castration in the rat, showing the state of chemical castration. In the present study, we further verify the efficacy of this less invasive method as an alternative of surgical orchidectomy in the andrological field. Sterilized 20% saline was directly injected into the adult male rats (750 ${\mu}l$ per testis). The tested rats were divided into 3 groups including intact group (intact), orchidectomy group (ORX) and saline injection group (SAL) after bilateral orchidectomy was performed at the same day of injection. All rats were sacrificed at 4 weeks after injection. The reproductive organs (testes, epididymis, seminal vesicles and prostates) were collected and used for DNA and protein pattern analyses. Also, patho-histological studies on the testes were performed. In contrast to the intact group, similar DNA damages of testis and seminal vesicle were appeared in ORX group and SAL group. The DNA degradations seemed to be the results of necrosis rather than apoptosis. In the protein pattern analysis, all the testing tissues exerted similar patterns in the ORX group and the SAL group compared to the those of intact group. Patho-histological studies revealed that severe degenerative changes in testicular seminiferous tubules and massive infiltration of immune cells in SAL group. The present study confirmed that direct injection of hypertonic saline into the testis caused the equivalent biochemical changes in the accessory sex organs as shown in the orchidectomized animals. These results suggest that hypertonic saline injection model could be a useful castration model which can substitute for surgical castration when its safety is secured through further study in the future.

  • 목 적 : 뇌수막염은 뇌와 척수를 둘러싸는 막의 염증으로 여름과 가을에 소아들에 호발하여 합병증이 발생하면 신경학적 후유증을 야기할 수 있는 질환이다. 뇌수막염의 합병증으로 뇌부종이 발생한 경우 증상치료로서 mannitol과 고장성 식염수가 삼투성 이뇨치료로 이용되어진다. 고장성 식염수는 다양한 농도와 투여방법이 있을 수 있는데 본 연구는 고장성 식염수의 가장 효과적이고 안전한 투여 형태에 대해 고찰하였다. 방 법 : 2002년 1월부터 2005년 10월까지 부산의료원 소아과에 입원하였던 뇌수막염환아 283명중 뇌부종이 발생했던 42명의 환아를 대상으로 하였다. 20% mannitol과 4가지 형태의 고장성 식염수로 치료하였던 5가지 투여군을 분석하였다. 증상과 징후의 호전유무, 뇌압측정치, 뇌혈류속도 측정치, 검사소견으로 효과적인 투여형태에 대해 통계적 분석을 하였다. 결 과 : 1) 환아의 평균연령은 5.34세이었으며 남녀 비율은 남아가 22명이고 여아는 20명이었다. 주된 임상양상은 발열(97%), 두통(92%), 구토(71%), 경련(47%), 기면(35%), 경부강직(35%), 복통(35%), 기침(35%), 유두부종(35%), 보챔(28%), 수두증(11%) 순으로 나타났다. 2) 증상 및 징후의 호전유무는 치료 4일째 24명이 상기증상 및 징후의 50%이상의 호전을 나타내었다. 3% 고장성 식염수 농축괴와 3% 고장성 식염수 연속적 농축괴 그리고 7.5% 고장성 식염수 연속적 농축괴의 방법이 효과적인 것으로 분석되었다(P<0.05). 3) 뇌압측정치는 5가지 방법모두 뇌압하강효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 3% 고장성 식염수 연속적 농축괴 주입이 뇌압하강치가 1.86 kPa로서 가장 좋은 기록이었지만 통계학적 의미는 없었다(P=0.31). 4) Transcranial doppler에 의한 MFV와 PI 측정에서는 5가지 방법 모두 MFV도의 상승과 PI 하강을 보여주었다. PI와 MFV 상에서는 5가지 방법에서 치료효과의 차이가 없는 것으로 분석할 수 있었다(P=0.59, P=0.99). 5) 치료기간동안 다양한 검사소견을 비교할 수 있는데 나트륨, 염소, 수소이온농도, 젖산, 몰삼투압농도, 칼슘은 차이가 날 수 있는 것으로 관찰되었고(P<0.05), 칼륨, 혈색소, 중탄산염, 염기 과다는 차이가 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 나트륨, 염소, 몰 삼투압농도는 약간 상승되었고 수소이온농도, 젖산, 칼슘은 약간 하강하였으나 큰 변화는 없었다. 결 론 : 뇌수막염에서 뇌압상승, 뇌부종이 발생한 환아의 증상치료로서 고장성 식염수가 다양한 농도와 투입방법이 고려되어 질 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과로는 3% 고장성 식염수 연속적 농축괴의 투여방법이 가장 우수해 보이나 무작위 추출이 아니며 여러 가지 결과를 종합할 때 가장 우수하다고 하기에는 무리가 있었다. 향후 보다 더 많은 집단을 대상으로 한 무작위 추출의 다양하고 종합적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 최근 고장성(20%) 생리식염수를 흰쥐 정소에 직접 주사할 경우, 혈중 테스토스테론 수준이 최저 수준에 도달하는 화학적 거세 상태에 들어감이 보고되었다. 본 연구는 이러한 간단한 생리 식염수 주사 모델의 효용성을 더 검증하기 위해 정소의 미세 해부 구조상의 변화를 조사하였다. 실험군으로는 무처리군(intact, control), 정소제거군(orchidectomy), 그리고 식염수 주사군(saline-injection)으로 하였으며, 식염수 주사군에는 정소당 $750{\mu}{\ell}$의 멸균한 20% 식염수를 직접 주사하였다. 정소 제거 수술은 식염수 주사가 행해진 날에 시행하였다. 주사후 30일 경과 후에 동물을 희생하여 생식조직들을 채취하고 무게를 측정한 후 조직학적 조사를 위해 고정시켰다. 체중의 경우 무처리 대조군과 비교하여 정소절제군과 식염수 주사군 모두에서 유의한 변화는 없었다. 식염수 주사군의 정소 무게는 무처리 대조군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다. 부정소와 저정낭의 무게의 경우 무처리 대조군에 비해 정소절제군과 식염수 주사군 모두에서 유의하게 감소하였으며, 전립선의 경우 무처리 대조군에 비해 정소절제군에서는 유의하게 감소하였으며, 식염수 주사군에서는 감소하는 경향은 있었지만 유의성은 없었다. 외양상으로 식염수 주사군의 정소에는 약간의 위축이 나타났으며, 백막이 정상적으로 보였다. 그러나 조직학적으로 정소 대부분에서 괴사가 발견되었으며, 헤마톡실린-에오신으로 거의 염색되지 않았다. 동일한 절편에서, 주사 부위의 정반대 부분은 비정상적인 세포층들이 염색되었다. 대부분의 세정관에서 미성숙한 생식세포들이 기질 막에서 분리되고, 내강 쪽으로 세포들이 떨어져 나간 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구는 정소내 고장성 식염수 직접 주사가 부속 생식기관에 정소절제와 유사한 테스토스테론 제거 효과를 유발할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 비록 심층적인 연구들이 더 요구되지만, 본 연구는 정소 내 고장성 식염수 직접 주사법이 비용이 덜 들고 덜 침습적이면서 정소절제술이나 화학적 거세와 거의 동일한 효용성을 가졌음을 시사한다.
