Abstract

To study the anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effect of etanercept in the model of experimental head injury. In this study, 40 male-adult Spraque-Dawley rats, with weight ranging from 250g to 300g, were used. The rats are divided into groups as control; non-penetrating trauma; trauma +NS; post-traumatic normal saline; trauma + D; post-traumatic dexamethasone and trauma + E. All medicines were given into peritoneum. After applying trauma and medicine, rats were decapitated in the 24th hour and the samples were studied histopathologically. In the study, a statistically significant difference was observed between the groups of trauma + NS and trauma dexamethasone according to the variables of edema and inflammation, but no difference was observed according to the variables of neuronal damage, astrocytic damage, and glial apoptosis. Moreover, a significant difference was observed between groups of Trauma + NS and trauma+etanercept and between the groups of trauma + dexamethasone and trauma + etanercept in terms of all variables. It was observed that etanercept has anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effect on the rats which experienced traumatic brain injury.
