Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal(IT)different concentrations of ozone(O_3) on pain threshold,motor function and cerebral spinal fluid(CSF)malondialdehyde(MDA)concentration and superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and determine if ozone is toxic to central nervous system(CNS).Methods Thirty New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes aged 3-5 months,weighing 2.5-3.0 kg were randomly divided in 5 groups(n=6 each):groupⅠcontrol;groupⅡpure O_2;groupⅢO_2-O_3 30;groupⅣO_2-O_3 50 and groupⅤO_2-O_3 80.The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital.Cerebello-medullary cistern was punctured for IT administration of O_2 and O_3.In groupⅡ2 ml of pure oxygen(O_2)(for medical use)was injected IT.In groupⅢ,ⅣandⅤ2 ml of ozone(O_3)30,50 and 80 mg?L~(-1) was injected IT respectively.Ozone was manufactured by ozone generator(Ozoneline Co,Italy).Before and one day after IT O_3 paw withdrawal latency to heat(PWHL)and to mechanical stimulation(yon Frey filament)(PWML)were measured and motor function was assessed(1=normal,4=severe motor dysfunction and weakness).CSF was obtained at 1,2,4 h after IT O_3 for determination of MDA concentration and SOD activity.Results IT administration of the 3 concentrations of ozone did not affect pain threshold and motor function,but significantly increased SOD activity.MDA concentration decreased significantly at 4 h after IT O_2 or ozone administration in groupⅡ,ⅢandⅣ,but increased significantly at 1 and 2 h after IT ozone in groupⅤ.SOD/MDA was significantly increased at 1,2 and 4h after IT ozone in groupⅢandⅣ,but decreased at 1 and 2 h after IT ozone in groupⅤ.Conclusion IT ozone is toxic to CNS.
