“#Japanese scientists say breathing through rectums ‘saved’ mice<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

In what sounds like a \u201cSouth Park\u201d episode, Japanese scientists have developed a procedure that allows lab animals to \u201cbreathe\u201d out of their rectum.<\/p>\n

In a new study published last week<\/a>,\u00a0scientists using an enema of oxygen-carrying liquid proved that oxygen-deprived animals \u2014 and maybe people \u2014 can be saved via their bottoms.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Times<\/a>, Dr. Takanori Takebe, of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University and the Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital Medical Center, started alternative oxygen-delivery research during his father\u2019s struggle with lung disease.<\/p>\n

While ventilators are helpful, they\u2019re not always available and can break. \u201cWe clearly need different strategies to help out patients with severe lung failure,\u201d Dr. Takebe told the Times.<\/p>\n

Through his trials, Takebe first did what sounds like a reverse fart \u2014 pumping oxygen up the rectums of anesthetized, oxygen-deprived mice. The procedure would have been too painful and not useful for humans as the mice intestines had to be scraped first.<\/p>\n

So Takebe and his team started to look into whether the intestines could absorb oxygen, and began squirting an oxygen-packed liquid into the rectums of mice and pigs who\u2019d been induced into oxygen-deprived hypoxia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mice started walking around again; the pale skin of the anesthetized pigs turned a healthy pink,\u201d the times reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are completely recovering from the very, very severe hypoxia,\u201d Takebe told the paper. \u201cThat was really astonishing to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Mark Wilson, a biologist at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Canada, told the Times he \u201cdoesn\u2019t know of any animals that literally inhale air through their bottoms. But turtles spend the winter sitting on the bottom of a pond, never coming up for air, and survive by taking in oxygen from the water via their rear ends. Mimicking such a process in mammals makes a lot of sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Caleb Kelly, who wrote an accompanying study for Takebe, conceded the concept is \u201cfascinating\u201d and possibly \u201cfeasible\u201d \u2014 but odd.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a startling idea, to use that part of human anatomy for gas exchange,\u201d he told the Times.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
