Abstract:

Oxidative damage causing alterations in erythrocyte deformability due to anesthesia might be one of the factors responsible for the deterioration of the tissue and organ perfusion. The antioxidant properties of fullerenol nanoparticles, used in medical field together with the developing technology, have been shown in the literature. We investigated the effects of fullerenol nanoparticles, used before sevoflurane anesthesia, on the erythrocyte deformability in the rats. Methodology: Twenty-four male Wistar Albino rats were used in this study and randomly divided into four groups, six in each group; Group C (Control Group), Group S (Group Sevoflurane), Group F (Group Fullerenol), Group FS (Group Fullerenol-Sevoflurane). Fullerenol was given to the Group F and Group FS at a dose of 100 mg/kg. Sevoflurane was administered to rats in the Groups S and FS at 3% concentration. Erytrocytes deformability was measured by the constant-current filtrometre system and the deformability index was interpreted. All the data were processed by variance analysis in SPSS 22.0 for Windows statistical software. Variance analysis and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to evaluate the data. Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction were used to evaluate the variables with significance. Results: Relative resistance increased in all groups due to sevoflurane administration (p < 0.0001). The erythrocyte deformability index was significantly higher in the sevoflurane group than in the control and fullerenol groups (p < 0.0001, p = 0.002, respectively). Fullerenol administration, before 30 min of sevoflurane treatment, was found to decrease erythrocyte deformability index significantly compared to sevoflurane group (p = 0.017). Conclusion: Administring 100 mg/kg fullerenol nanoparticles intraperitoneally 30 min before sevoflurane reduces erythrocyte deformability.
