Abstract:: |
Objective To investigate the effect of hydrogen on radiation-induced acute injury in rat brain.Methods Forty-five mature Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: saline therapy group, hydrogen therapy group and healthy control group. The whole brain of SD rat was irradiated with single dose of 20 Gy by 4 MeV electrons. Rats in therapy group were injected with hydrogen-rich saline after irradiation and were sacrificed at 1, 3, 7, 14 d post-irradiation. The changes of malonaldehyde (MDA), superoxidase dismutase (SOD) and 8-hydroxydeoxygunosine (8-OHdG) in brain homogenate and the pathological changes in brain hippocampus were observed. Results The brain water content (t=3.78,3.18,P<0.05) and the contents of 8-OHdG (t=2.33, 2.71, 2.33,P<0.05) in the therapy group was lower than the control group at 7 d and 14 d post-irradiation. The contents of SOD were significantly higher(t=2.41-2.92, P<0.05)from 1 to 7 day, while the contents of MDA were significantly lower in therapy group than those in the control group from 1 to 14 day post-irradiation (t=4.01-6.20, P<0.05). Moreover, the damage degree in the nerve cells of hippocampus was less compared to the control group. Conclusions The hydrogen-rich saline could have protection role in irradiation-induced acute brain injury in rats. |
