Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Segmental reflexes in the spinal cords of cats anesthetized with chloralose were used to evaluate the neurophysiologic effects of radiographic contrast agents. The exposed lumbar spinal cord was bathed with concentrations of ionic and nonionic agents including saline, sodium meglumine diatrizoate, meglumine iothalamate, meglumine iocarmate, and metrizamide. The following responses were evaluated: flexor and extensor monosynaptic reflex; polysynaptic flexion reflexes; spontaneous ventral root activity. Hypertonic solutions generally produced a transient decrease in all reflex activity for up to 1 hour. Isotonic solutions produced no significant changes in the monosynaptic responses, but an increase in amplitude of polysynaptic responses, and increased spontaneous activity. The usual facilitory effects of flexion reflex on the flexor monosynaptic reflex were unchanged, but the expected inhibitory effect of flexion reflex on the extensor monosynaptic reflex was changed to excitatory. The relative ability to produced these effects was sodium meglumine diatrizoate greater than meglumine iothalamate greater than meglumine iocarmate greater than metrizamide.
