- 动物福利 动物福利
背景情况:
- 头足动物研究正在扩大,但对这些无脊椎动物缺乏有效的疼痛管理和止痛药.
- 目前美国没有联邦法规针对头足动物的疼痛缓解.
- 章鱼 bimaculoides 在研究中越来越多地被使用,这需要在疼痛管理方面考虑道德问题.
研究的目的:
- 评估利多卡因,布皮瓦卡因和延长释放布皮瓦卡因在Octopus bimaculoides中缓解疼痛的可行性和有效性.
- 评估局部麻醉剂的潜在不良影响,实用性和组织病理学结果.
- 研究这些麻醉剂对疼痛感知,健康指标和手臂再生的影响.
主要方法:

- 第一阶段:对药物管理效应的试点评估 (n=49).
- 第二阶段:使用行为指标 (姿势,步态,全身),健康监测和伤口愈合评估 (n=34) 进行有效性测试.
主要成果:
- 所有动物都在手术后立即出现过渡性,统计学上显著的手臂姿势和步态变化,在72小时内消失.
- 在治疗组之间没有观察到健康指标 (体重变化,呼吸率) 或伤口愈合/手臂再生的显著差异.
- 局部麻醉剂 (利多卡因,布皮瓦卡因) 没有证明在为章鱼手臂再生提供止痛效果.
结论:
- 目前的局部麻醉方案在章鱼研究模型中对控制疼痛无效.

Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers
1.5K
Local anesthetics (LAs) block the sodium channels of nerve trunks, sensory nerve endings, and neuromuscular junctions. Although LAs can block all kinds of nerves, the sensitivity of nerve fibers differs according to nerve types and structures. LAs are known to block myelinated fibers faster than unmyelinated ones. Also, they block pain or sensory neurons at low concentrations without affecting the motor neurons involved in muscle contractions. This helps relieve labor pain without affecting the...

Local Anesthetics: Common Agents and Their Applications
1.1K
Local anesthetics (LAs) are commonly used for various applications in medical and dental procedures. Some of the common agents used are cocaine, lidocaine, and bupivacaine.
Cocaine is an ester of benzoic acid and methylecgogine. It is used to anesthetize and vasoconstrict locally. Currently, it is used primarily for topical applications. It is beneficial for surgeries on the upper respiratory tract, providing anesthesia and shrinking the mucosa. Cocaine in the form of cocaine hydrochloride is...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Intravenous Regional Anesthesia
1.6K
Intravenous regional anesthesia or the Bier block technique is used to anesthetize a specific limb or extremity. It uses exsanguinated or blood-drained vessels to transport local anesthetics or LAs to the peripheral nerve trunks. Lidocaine without vasoconstrictors like epinephrine is most commonly used for this technique. Other drugs used are prilocaine, ropivacaine, and chloroprocaine. Bupivacaine is not recommended for this technique due to its high cardiac toxicity.

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Surface, Infiltration, and Conduction Block Anesthesia

Depending on the target organ, local anesthetics (LAs) can be administered via various routes. In surface anesthesia, LAs are applied directly to the surface of the skin or mucous membranes. It is widely used for topical skin numbing before venipuncture or minor surgical procedures. Commonly used surface local anesthetics are lidocaine or benzocaine sprays or creams. Surface anesthesia occurs within 5 minutes and lasts for about 60 minutes. One of the main disadvantages of topical anesthesia is...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Spinal Anesthesia
1.6K
Spinal anesthetics are given during lower abdomen and limb surgeries to block sensory and motor neurons. They are administered in the mid to low lumbar regions, primarily acting on the cauda equina's nerve roots. The blockade level depends on the local anesthetic (LA) concentration. Usually, low LA concentrations are sufficient to block sensory fibers, while only high LA concentrations block motor fibers. Other factors like injection volume and speed, the patient's posture, and the drug...

Local Anesthetics: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship

Local anesthetics (LAs) are drugs that induce a temporary loss of sensation in a limited body area, preventing pain. Cocaine was the first local anesthetic discovered in the late 19th century. Cocaine is a benzoic acid ester obtained from the leaves of coca shrubs and was often used for its psychotropic effects. Cocaine was first isolated in 1860 by Albert Niemann. Sigmund Freud studied the physiological actions of cocaine. Carl Koller later introduced it into clinical practice in 1884 as a...
