Sıçanlarda pseudomonas aeruginosa ile indüklenen kronik otitis media modelinde borik asit tedavisinin etkinliği

Amaç: Kronik otitis media (KOM), bakteriyel veya viral patojenlerin neden olduğu orta kulağın sık görülen enfeksiyöz hastalıklarından biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, sıçanlarda Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) ile indüklenen KOM modelinde topikal %4’lük ve %8’lik borik asit (BA) uygulamasını sistemik siprofloksasin ile karşılaştırarak KOM tedavisinde borik asidin etkinliğini araştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 42 Sprague Dawley cinsi sıçan 7 eşit gruba ayrıldı. P. aeruginosa ile KOM modeli oluşturuldu. Kontrol grubu, KOM grubu, topikal %4’lük ve %8’lik BA tedavi grubu, sistemik siprofloksasin tedavi grubu ve topikal %4’lük ve %8’lik BA temas grubu arasında klinik, histopatolojik ve immünohistokimyasal karşılaştırmalar yapıldı. Bulgular: KOM modelinde %4’lük BA uygulaması ile orta derecede ödem, enflamasyon, dejenerasyon ve orta derecede tümör nekroz faktör-alfa (TNF-α) ekspresyonu tespit edildi. %8’lik BA uygulaması ile hafif ödem, inflamasyon, dejenerasyon ve hafif TNF-α ekspresyonu tespit edildi. Sonuç: %4’lük ve %8’lik BA tedavisinin önemli klinik, histopatolojik ve immünohistokimyasal iyileşme sağladığı görüldü. %8’lik BA uygulamasının daha yüksek tedavi etkinliğine sahip olduğu ve orta kulak mukozasına zararlı bir etkisinin olmadığı gösterildi.

Efficacy of boric acid therapy in a pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced chronic otitis media model in rats

Purpose: Chronic otitis media (COM) is one of the common infectious diseases of the middle ear caused by bacterial or viral pathogens. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of boric acid (BA) in the treatment of COM by comparing topical 4% and 8% BA applications with systemic ciprofloxacin in a Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) inoculation-induced model of COM in rats. Materials and Methods: Forty-two Sprague Dawley rats were divided into seven equal groups. The COM model was created with P. aeruginosa. Clinical, histopathological and, immunohistochemical comparisons were performed between the control, COM, topical 4% and 8% BA treatment, a systemic ciprofloxacin treatment, and topical 4% and 8% BA contact groups. Results: In the COM model, moderate edema, inflammation, degeneration and moderate tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) expression were detected with the application of 4% BA. Mild edema, inflammation, degeneration, and mild TNF-α expression were detected with 8% BA application. Conclusion: Both 4% and 8% BA treatment provided significant clinical, histopathological and immunohistochemical improvement. The application of 8% BA was found to exhibit greater therapeutic efficacy, with no harmful effect on the middle ear mucosa.
