Objective:Evaluating the effect of nitric oxide synthase(NOS) inhibitors on fetal rat neuron apoptosis during intrauterine distress and childhood’s learning and memory.Methods:① Set up fetal rat intrauterine distress model.②Divide into the control group
reperfusion group
treatment group [injected N omega-nitro-L-arginine(L-NNA) 4mg/kg into pregnant rat’s abdomen before ischemia and injected aminoguanidine(AG) 500mg/kg before operation]
long-term observation group Ⅰ?Ⅱ?Ⅲ(the part of rats in control group
reperfusion group
treatment group were performed cesarean section on pregnant 19 days and bred to 40 day of age after delivery).③Measuring the content of cytochrome c in cytosol and examined the ability of learning and memory function.Results:①The content of cytochrome c in reperfusion group(6/12/24h) and treatment group(6/12/24h) were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The content of cytochrome c in treatment group(6/12/24h) were lower than those in reperfusion group(P <0.05).(2) Escape latency in long-term observation groupⅡ were longer than those in long-term observation group Ⅰ?Ⅲ(P <0.05).There were no differences in escape latency between long-term observation group Ⅰand Ⅲ(P >0.05).(3) Crossing platform times in long-term observation groupⅡ were fewer than those in long-term observation group Ⅰ?Ⅲ(P <0.05).There were no differences in crossing platform times between long-term observation group Ⅰand Ⅲ(P >0.05).Conclusion:NOS inhibitors play a obvious protective role in long-term intelligence of fetal rat after delivery through relieved neuron apoptosis during hypoxic ischemia encephalopathy.NOS inhibitors can be a valuable therapy method in intrauterine distress treatment.
