ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) consists of intermittent inhalations of 100 percent oxygen at a pressure higher than 1 atm. It is an important adjuvant therapy in pathological processes like soft tissue infections, radiation injury, gas gangrene, osteomyelitis and decompressive diseases. Cisplatin, a potent antineoplastic drug, widely used in cancer therapy is highly ototoxic causing bilateral, irreversible damage to the hearing of high frequency sounds (4-8 KHz).

OBJECTIVE:

This experimental study conducted at the Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo aims to evaluate Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as an otoprotection agent against drug toxicity.

METHODS:

Albino guinea pigs were divided into two groups in Group A, 5 animals (10 cochlea) received cisplatin, i. p., 8.0 mg/kg/day during three days and afterwards were submitted to HOT; in Group B, 3 animals (6cochlea) received cisplatin, i. p. 8.0mg/kg/day during three days. Guinea pigs were evaluated by acoustic otoemissions (AOE) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

RESULTS:

Group B animals showed loss of auditory functions as measured by AOE and distorted outer hair cells by SEM. In Group A, outer hair cells shown by SEM images were mostly preserved.

CONCLUSION:

It is presumed that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has a protector effect against cisplatin ototoxicity.
RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

A Oxigenoterapia hiperbárica (OHB) envolve a inalação de oxigênio a 100 por cento sob uma pressão maior que 1 atm. E um importante modo de terapia adjuvante para processos patológicos, tais como infecção de partes moles, lesões actínicas, gangrena gasosa, osteomielite e doença descompressiva. A cisplatina e uma potente droga antineoplásica largamente utilizada para o tratamento de câncer. A ototoxicidade e um importante efeito colateral desta droga, causando dano irreversível, bilateral, na capacidade de ouvir sons de alta freqüência (4 - 8 KHz). Este estudo experimental, realizado na Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirao Preto da Universidade de São Paulo nos anos de 2005 e 2006.

Objetivo:

Avaliar o papel da Oxigenoterapia Hiperbárica como agente otoprotector contra a toxicidade de drogas.

MÉTODOS:

Cobaias albinas divididas em 2 grupos Grupo A com 5 cobaias (10 cócleas) que receberam cisplatina 8,0 mg/kg/dia, via intraperitoneal por 3 dias, submetidas posteriormente a OHB. Grupo B com 3 cobaias (6 cócleas) que receberam cisplatina 8,0 mg/kg/dia, via intraperitoneal por 3 dias. As cobaias foram avaliadas através de otoemissões acústicas (OEA) e por microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV).

Resultados:

Encontramos no grupo B perda da função auditiva medida pela OEA e distorção das células ciliares externas a MEV. No grupo A, a MEV as células ciliares externas foram preservadas em sua grande maioria.

CONCLUSÃO:

Assim podemos supor que a Oxigenoterapia Hiperbárica tem um efeito otoprotetor contra a ototoxicidade induzida pela cisplatina.
