Background and study aims: Esophageal burns due to ingestion of corrosive substances are frequently seen in both children and adults. However, there is no standard method of treatment to prevent associated mortality and morbidity. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of known antioxidants, namely N-acetyl cysteine and ethyl pyruvate, on esophageal damage due to sodium hydroxide-induced corrosive burns. Materials and methods: Thirty-five female rats were randomly assigned to five equal groups. Group 1 was the sham group, while Group 2 was the control group. Group 3 received N-acetyl cysteine, Group 4 received ethyl pyruvate, and Group 5 received both N-acetyl cysteine and ethyl pyruvate. Rats in the burn groups were gavage-fed with 0.2mL of 25% NaOH. All esophagi were extracted on day 4 for histopathological evaluation. Results: Total histopathological damage scores were evaluated at the end of the study. Groups 3 and 5 were significantly different from the control group in terms of total histopathological scores (p = 0.001), while no significant difference was seen with Group 4. Stenosis index results in groups 3 and 5 were similar to those seen with total histopathological scores (p = 0.004). Conclusion: N-acetyl cysteine, alone or in combination with ethyl pyruvate, may be useful in the treatment of esophageal damage associated with corrosive substances and in achieving histopathological improvement in an experimental setting.

Purpose: To investigate the healing effect of resveratrol on ischemia, inflammation and oxidative injury in brain and heart tissue of rats in an experimentally induced carbonmonoxide (CO) intoxication model. Methods: Twenty-eight mature female Spraque Dawley rats were randomized into four groups of seven animals each. Groups I and II inhaled room air for 60 minutes. Groups III and IV inhaled a high concentration of a 5000 ppm CO gas mixture at 4 L/min until loss of consciousness. Blood CO levels were measured from 1 mL blood specimens collected from the tail vein. Groups I and III received 1 mL of normal saline while groups II and IV received 25 mg/kg resveratrol intraperitoneally. At the end of 48 hour, the rats were sacrified and later blood, brain and heart tissue samples were taken for histopathological and biochemical evaluation. Neuron damage scores, percentages of degenerate neurons and apoptosis rates in the cortex and hypothalamus were calculated in brain tissues. Myocyte degeneration, vascular congestion and myocyte apoptosis rates were calculated in heart tissues. Total antioxidant (TAS), total oxidant (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were also calculated from the tissue samples. Results: Histopathological evaluation revealed that resveratrol significantly reduced tissue damage in the brain when groups III and IV were compared (p<0.05). Resveratrol also reduced cardiac myocyte degeneration and myocyte apoptosis rate in heart tissue (p=0.004 and p=0.002). No positive effect was determined at analysis of antioxidant parameters. Conclusion: The results of this study investigated that resveratrol administration in experimental setting may be beneficial in healing injury secondary to CO intoxication in brain and heart tissue.
