This study details a surgical method for perilymph sampling in Mongolian gerbils. While feasible for pharmacokinetic studies, multiple samples from one animal compromise reliability due to fibrosis.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pharmacokinetics
  • Animal models

Background:

  • Perilymph sampling is crucial for drug delivery studies in the inner ear.
  • The Mongolian gerbil is a potential model for otological research.
  • Surgical techniques for perilymph acquisition require detailed evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe and assess a surgical procedure for perilymph sampling from the cochlear apex in Mongolian gerbils.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of this technique for pharmacokinetic analysis of dexamethasone.
  • To investigate the impact of repeated sampling on cochlear tissue.

Main Methods:

  • Perilymph was sampled from the cochlear apex in 12 male Mongolian gerbils via a submandibular approach under general anesthesia.
  • 11 gerbils received intracochlear implants with dexamethasone; one served as a control.

  • Samples were analyzed using HPLC-MS/MS; cochleae were examined for fibrosis post-procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • The perilymph sampling procedure was technically challenging but well-tolerated by the animals.
    • Dexamethasone was successfully detected in perilymph, confirming suitability for pharmacokinetic studies.
    • Multiple sampling attempts led to fibrosis, compromising subsequent sample quality and reliability.

    Conclusions:

    • The Mongolian gerbil is a viable model for cochlear apex perilymph sampling for pharmacokinetic studies.
    • The surgical technique requires specialized training and careful execution.
    • To ensure data integrity, only one perilymph sample should be collected per animal.
