Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the response of spinal cord to pain stimulation induced by intraplantar injection of formalin Methods Thirty SD rats of both sexes weighing 200 250g were randomly divided into six groups Pain stimulation was produced by subcutaneous injection of formalin (2 5%100?l) into the plantar region of unilateral front paw Group F received intraplantar injection of formalin only (n=6);group FP received intraperitoneal propofol 100?g?kg -1 10min after formalin injection (n=6); group PF received formalin injection 10min after intraperitoneal propofol 100?g?kg -1 (n=6); group P received intraperitoneal propofol 100?g?kg -1 only; group FS received intraperitoneal normal saline 10ml?kg -1 10min after formalin injection; and group S received intraperitoneal normal saline 10ml?kg -1 only 1 h after last injection (intraperitoneal or intraplantar) the animals were anesthetized and cervical spinal cord (where sensory nerves from front paw enter) was removed and sliced and examined for fos expression in the spinal cord using fos immunohistochemistry technique Results After formalin injection large numbers of fos like immunoreactive neurons (FLINs) were found in the ipsilateral dorsal horn Most of FLINs were confined to the medial part of outer area of laminal I and II Intraperitoneal propofol injected either before or after formalin stimulation significantly suppressed fos expression in all laminal (P
