Objective:To investigate the changes of super microstructure of hippocampus and expression of Caspase-3 in epileptic rats after injection of YVAD-CHO.Methods:YVAD-CHO was injected into unilateral hippocampus of rats in intervention group 1.The changes of super microstructure were studied by HE staining.The changes of expressions of Caspase-3 protein were studied by immunohistochemistry method.Results:HE staining indicated that hippocampal neurons in CA1-CA3 regions changed in rats of intervention group 1
with nerve cell cytoplasm stained thick and condense chromation in nucleus
which reduced significantly compared with mode 1 group.Immunohistochemistry indicated that the expressions of Caspase-3 protein in hippocampus highly decreased in intervention group 1 in contrast to mode 1 group.Conclusion:YVAD-CHO can reduce apoptosis of rat’s hippocampal neurons in vivo.
