Role of iron ion in development of hydrocephalus in rats
Objective To investigate the roles of iron ion in the development of experimental hydrocephalus in rats. Methods Seventy-five Sprague-Dawley female rats were divided into 3 groups randomly
that is
the iron group
the semi-iron group and the artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) control group. FeCl
3
of 5 μl dissolved in artificial CSF with the concentration of 6.67 g/L and 3.33 g/L were slowly infused into the right lateral cerebral ventricle of the rats in the iron group and in the semis-iron group respectively. The rats in the artificial CSF control group were infused 5 μl artificial CSF. The rats were sacrificed 1
14 and 28
d later to measure the transverse diameter of the lateral ventricle for the evaluation of hydrocephalus and the index of ventricle
and pathology of brain was also observed. Results There were significant difference of hydrocephalus between the iron group (9/10) and the semis-iron group(1/5) at 28 d (P0.01). The index of ventricle in iron group were higher than the semis-iron group and the artificial CSF control group (P0.01). Cellular proliferation surrounding ventricle
edema of choroid plexus
deposit of haemosiderin
absence of ciliums and microvillares of the ependymal cells were observed in rats of the iron group. The pathological changes in the semis-iron group were milder than in the iron group. The artificial CSF control group showed no hydrocephalus. Conclusion Injecting higher concentration of iron into the lateral cerebral ventricle can produce hydrocephalus.
