The Effects of Temperature on Nausea and Vomiting in Rats were Investi-gated Based on Temperature Monitoring at Different Time Points
Objective To study the effect and mechanism of different temperature on nausea and vomiting in periop-erative rats.Methods Thirty male rats purchased from the Comparative Medicine Center of Mudanjiang Medical Uni-versity in January 2023 were selected and divided into three groups according to the random number table metho,and intraperitoneally injected with cisplatin 3 mg/kg to establish the model of pica.The rats with pica were placed into three groups:room temperature 26°C,humidity 40%-60%(A group);room temperature 23°C,humidity 40%-60%(B group);room temperature 18°C,humidity 40%-60%(C group);at 15 min(T1),2h(T2),4 h(T3),6 h(T4),24 h(T5),the anal temperature,blood pressure,blood gas analysis were measured,and venous blood was collected to isolate plasma for testing the content of arginine vasopressin(AVP)and cortisol concentration.Results The rectal tempera-tures of rats in Groups A,B and C at T2 time point were(36.82±0.08)℃,(36.59±0.12)℃,and(36.22±0.13)℃,respec-tively,the difference was statistically significant(F=72.554,P<0.05).There were also statistically significant differ-ences at T3,T4,and T5 time points,in three groups(all P<0.05);The AVP content in group B exhibited a decrease compared to that in group A at T3 time points,followed by a substantial increase at T5 time points.Meanwhile,the plasma AVP content in group C showed a notable increase at T2 and T4 time points,the differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05);The cortisol concentration in Group B increased at time points T4 and T5,while in Group C,it initially decreased at time point T3,then increased at time point T4 and continued until time point T5,the differ-ences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).Minimal changes in anal temperature,AVP content,and cortisol con-centration were observed in group A within group comparison.Conclusion In the room temperature of 26°C and hu-midity of 40%-60%,the body temperature of rats tends to be more stable,and the changes of plasma AVP content and cortisol concentration are minimal,and the probability of nausea and vomiting is the lowest.
