Résumé
ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of perioperative use of fish oil on post-operative fatigue(POF) of rat.MethodsAfter one week's preoperative behavior training,12 rats presented poor behavior were excluded from 60 healthy adult male SD rats as the normal controls of serum parameters.The remaining 48 rats were randomly divided into model group and fish oil treatment group by random number table.The fish oil treatment group received 10 days' (3 days before surgery and 7 days after surgery) intraperitoneal injection of fish oil [2 ml/( kg · d) ],and the model group with saline.On the 1st,3rd,5th,and 7th post-operative day,rats were assessed by Morris water-maze and tail suspension test.Serum levels of interleukin ( IL)-1β,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),superoxide dismutase (SOD),and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) were measured.ResultsSerum parameters:on the 1st and 3rd post-operative day,the IL-6 level in the fish oil treatment group [ (66.22 ±8.80),(56.03 ± 1.19) pg/ml] was significantly lower than in model group [ (83.30 ± 10.69),(82.72 ± 24.27) pg/ml ] (P =0.034,P =0.038 ) ; on the 1 st,3rd,5th,and 7th post-operative day,the TNF-α level in the fish oil treatment group [ ( 104.36 ±5.02),(84.49 ±7.81 ),(64.47 ±2.89),(39.29 ±2.52)pg/ml ] was significantly lower than in model group [ ( 120.01 ± 14.99 ),( 119.68 ± 8.84),(75.29 ± 2.58 ),(41.96±1.65) pg/ml] (P=0.014,P=0.003,P=0.000,P=0.004); onthe1st,3rd,5th,and 7th postoperative day,the IL-1β level [(155.11 ±9.08),(79.39±5.86),(57.26±16.07),(35.42±1.53) pg/ml]was significantly lower than model group [ (204.87±30.61),(198.82±54.83),(152.12±29.06),(64.35 ± 2.70) pg/ml ] ( P =0.024,P =0.002,P =0.000,P =0.000) ; on the 5th postoperative day,SOD ( 1.08±0.08) μmol/L was significantly higher than model group (0.71±0.06) μmoL/L (P=0.000) ; on the 5th and 7th postoperative day,GSH-PX [ (31.21 ± 1.30), (30.78 ± 1.83) μmol/L] was significantly higher than model group [ (25.03 ±1.74),(27.57±3.57) μ mol/L](P=0.000,P=0.036).Behavior:in tail suspension test,on the 1st and 3rd postoperative day,value of struggle in fish oil treatment group [ (6620 ± 1390),(7011 ± 1472) mv · s] was significantly higher than in model group [ (4739 ± 1040),(4344 ± 1130) mv · s](P=0.048,P=0.043); cumulative fixed time [ (118.42±10.05), (101.02±8.68) s] and single rest time [ (55.39±7.70),(56.60±5.88) s] was lower thanin modelgroup [ (135.08+12.44),(131.02±9.24) s; (65.73±3.78),(64.93±3.25) s] (P=0.042,P=0.012,P=0.043,and P=0.042).In Morris water-maze,on the 3rd and 5th postoperative day,escape latent period of fish oil treatment group [ (48.263 ±1.815),(44.955±2.567) s] was lower than model group [ (51.543±1.990),(49.956±2.888) s] (P=0.035,P=0.035) ; on the 1st,3rd,5th,and 7th postoperative day,the cross platform number (1.04±0.25,1.95±0.49,2.42 ±0.41,3.21 ±0.53) was significantly higher than in model group (0.58 ±0.26,1.20±0.33,1.50±0.39,2.17±0.68) (P=0.002,P=0.003,P=0.018,P=0.035).ConclusionPerioperative use of fish oil can reduce postoperative inflammatory response,enhance antioxidant defense capability,and mitigate post-operative fatigue.
