Abstract

Object. In this study the authors compared the effects of both a selective inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibitor and a nonselective inhibitor on posttraumatic recovery and neuron survival by using a combined model of lateral fluid percussion injury (FPI) and hemorrhagic shock (HS). Methods. Male Sprague—Dawley rats weighing 300 to 350 g underwent FPI to the brain (3.5 atm) and hemorrhage to a mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) of 40 mm Hg for 1 hour. Rats were then resuscitated during 1 hour with bolus infusions of aminoguanidine (AG) or nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME). Neuronal apoptosis was determined by performing Nissl staining and in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase—mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick-end labeling technique. Rats infused with AG showed a significant increase in mean survival time and cerebral tissue perfusion, although the MABP and nitrate/nitrite levels did not significantly change compared with those in l-NAME—treated rats even though both animal groups had been subjected to combined FPI and HS, FPI alone, or HS alone. Furthermore, infusion of AG also significantly decreased the number of apoptotic neurons when compared with the number in rats treated with l-NAME. Conclusions. The authors asserted that treatment with AG, which causes the inhibition of iNOS, might contribute to improved physiological parameters and neuronal cell survival following FPI and HS.
