Abstract

Objective: Crush  syndrome  (CS)  remains  a  life-threatening  condition. This  research  aims  to  investigate the  changes  of  the  macro-  and microelement content in blood, liver and bone tissue in a rat model of CS.

Methods  Studies were conducted on 40 nonlinear mature white male rats. The left  hind  limb  of  the  rat  was  subjected  to  the  mechanical  pressure for  4  hours.  The  compressed  area  was  4  cm   with  a  compressive  2 2 force  of  4.25  kg/cm .  Determination  of  total  calcium,  magnesium  and inorganic phosphate contents in blood serum was performed on a  semi-automatic  biochemical  analyser  Humalyzer  2000  (Human, Germany)  using  standard  reagent  kits.  The  content  of  calcium, magnesium,  copper  and  zinc  in  the  liver  and  bone  tissue  was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry on a Selmi C-115 M spectrophotometer.

Results: It was found that serum content of calcium decreased on the 1st day  of  observation  (by  10.1%),  but  increased  on  the  14th  day  (by 23.0%);  the  magnesium  content  progressively  decreased  during postcompression  period,  and  the  content  of  inorganic  phosphate increased on the 14th day of observation by 36.6% (p<0.05) exeeded control  data.  The  content  of  calcium  in  the  liver  tissue  started  to increase  on  the  3rd  day  of  observation,  and  on  14th  day  by  25.9% (p<0.05) exceeded the control data. Magnesium content in the liver tissue was progressively decreasing during all days of observation. At  the  same  time  the  content  of  zinc  and  copper  in  the  liver  tissue gradually increased during postcompression period. The content of calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper in the bone tissue significantly changed  from  the  3rd  day  of  the  postcompression  period,  in particular the content of bioelements vs. control group progressively decreased  by  30.6%,  42.7%,  43.9%  and  30.1%  respectively  on  the 14th day of observation.

Conclusion : The postcompression period in a rat model of CS is characterized by the pronounced imbalance of macro- and microelements content in blood, liver and bone tissues, which is important for the regulation of metabolic processes. These findings warrant further studies and can be used for developing new treatments that are efficient for dysmacro- and dysmicroelementosis that develop in case of  experimental CS.
