EFFECTS OF CORTICOSTEROID AND ANTIHISTAMINIC INJECTIONS ON COLD-INDUCED STRESS ON RAT BLADDER TISSUE: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Abstract

Objective: Cold is a stress-inducing factor that can cause changes in bladder function in various ways. The present study is intended to investigate the effects of corticosteroid and antihistaminic treatment on acutely and chronically induced cold stress.
Material and Methods: Forty-two female rats were randomly divided into seven groups as follows: Control group; Acute cold-stress (ACS) group; ACS+ corticosteroid (CORT) group; ACS+CORT + Antihistaminic group; Cronic cold-stres (CCS) group; CSS+CORT group; CSS+CORT+Antihistaminic group. On the 15th day after these treatments, bladders of the rats were harvested for histopathological examinations under general anesthesia and fixed with 10% neutral buffered formaline. Hematoxylin and eosin and toluidine blue stainings were performed.
Results: The comparison based on mast cell count yielded the highest value in the CCS group in comparison to the control group. The lowest value was harvested in the CCS + CORT group. The comparison between the CCS groups revealed the highest polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PNL) values in the lamina propria in the CCS group, whereas the CORT and CORT + Antihistaminic treatments were found to have significantly decreased the PNL values in the lamina propria. While the PNL counts in the epithelium were high in the ACS and CCS groups, the results in the ACS and CCS groups that were treated with CORT and/or antihistaminic were revealed to be similar with those in the control group. It was discovered that antihistaminic injection in addition to CORT decreased the lymphocyte counts in epithelium in CCS more efficiently than CORT alone did.
Conclusion: The present research revealed that corticosteroid treatment reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and decreased mast cell count. A more evident amelioration was observed particularly in chronic cold stress.
