| Research Abstract |
Previous study demonstrated that the electrical stimulation of the lumbar sympathetic trunk (SS), which normally induces a blood flow (BF) decrease, induced a BF increase in about 50 % of adjuvant-inflamed polyarthritic rats. To address the mechanism for this BF-increase response, we examined whether noradrenaline (NA) plays any role in this changed response to the SS, and which receptor subtype is involved. The BF-increase response to NA was significantly reduced after the close-arterial injection of either al or a2-adrenoceptor antagonist. In contrast the BF increase response to the SS was not reduced by a single administration of either al or a2-adrenoceptor antagonist, and it was significantly suppressed when CH-38083 was injected after prazosin. These results suggest that the BF-increase response to the SS involves other mechanism(s) than NA yet to ;be identified.
Secondary, we examined in the adjuvant-monoarthritic model whether pain behaviors and foot volumes are affected by repetitive warm or cold treatment, which are often used in clinical practice. Both treatments were started after induction of inflammation. Warm treatment was carried out by immersing the both hindlimbs distal to ankle joints into 40 ℃ water bath for 20 min everyday for 14 days. Rats of the cold treatment group were held in a box the temperature of which was 5 ℃ for 30 min everyday for 21 days. We examined pain behaviors and foot volume in 24 hours after the each treatment every other day. The pain behaviors and foot volume were not affected by the present warm treatment. In contrast pain behaviors worsened and the foot volume increased after the cold treatment. After these experiments, we examined acute BF responses to warm and cold treatments. The BF in the injected side increased less than the non-injected side.
