Article Abstract
Introduction: Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) encompasses a spectrum of cognitive impairments following surgery, attributed to disruptions in brain homeostasis. The pathogenesis involves glutamate toxicity, GABA receptor dysfunction, and alterations in NMDA and AMPA receptors. This study aimed to investigate the impact of pre-anesthetic amantadine administration on postoperative recovery time, POCD, and stress-related pain levels when combined with propofol anesthesia.
Methods: Twenty-four adult male BALB/C mice were divided into four groups: Control, Propofol, Amantadine, and Amantadine+Propofol. Amantadine and propofol doses were administered intraperitoneally based on previous literature. Recovery time, pain levels (assessed via tail pinch and hot plate tests), cognitive functions (evaluated through Morris Water Maze), and locomotor activity (measured via Open Field Test) were recorded.
Results: Amantadine administration significantly reduced recovery time from propofol anesthesia, prolonged pain perception, and preserved cognitive functions compared to propofol alone. The time spent in the target quadrant in the Morris Water Maze was significantly longer in groups receiving amantadine. Additionally, the distance covered until finding the platform was significantly shorter in the propofol-only group.
Discussion: Amantadine's neuroprotective effects, attributed to its antagonistic action on glutamate and NMDA receptors, mitigate the detrimental effects of propofol on cognitive function and pain perception. This study highlights the potential of combining amantadine with propofol to enhance postoperative outcomes.
Conclusion: Amantadine administration before propofol anesthesia positively influenced postoperative recovery, cognitive function preservation, and stress-related pain perception in mice. These findings suggest a potential therapeutic strategy to mitigate POCD and pain associated with surgery.

The incidence of blast injuries has been rising globally, particularly affecting the lungs due to their vulnerability. Primary blast lung injury (PBLI) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, while early diagnostic methods are limited. With advancements in medical technology, and portable handheld ultrasound devices, the efficacy of ultrasound in detecting occult lung injuries early remains unclear.
