At the end of 15Abstract:Mongolian gerbils were used as delayed neuronal damage (DND)animal models. At the end of 15 minute cerebral ischemia and at various reperfusion time ranging from 1 to 96 hours, the content of water and arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the CA1 sector of hippocampus were measured by the specific gravity method and radioimmunoassay. Furthermore, we also examined the effect of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of AVP, AVP antiserum on calcium, Na+, K+-ATPase activrty in the CA1 sector after ischemia and 96 hour reperfusion. The results showed that AVP contents of CA1 sector of hippocampus during 6 to 96 hour recirculation, and the water content of CA1 sector during 24 to 96 hour were significantly and continuously increased. After ICV inJection of AVP, the water content and calcium in CA1 sector of hippocampus at cerebral ischemia and 96 hour recirculation further increased, and the Na+, K+- ATPase activity in CA1 sector was remarkably decreased as compared with that of control. While ICV injection of AVP antiserum, the water content and calcium in CA1 sector were significantly decreased as com pared with that of control. These suggested that AVP was involved in the pathophysiologic process of DND in hippocampus following cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Its mechanism might be through the change of intracellular action mediated by specific AVP receptor to lead to Ca ions over-load of neuron and inhibit the Na+, K+- ATPase activity , thereby to exacerbate the DND in hippocampus.展开更多

Methods : A total of 30 patients with traumatic brain injury were involved in our study. They were divided into two groups by Glasgow Coma Scale: severe tranmatic brain injury group ( STBI, GCS ≤ 8 ) and moderate traumatic brain injury group ( MTBI, GCS 〉 8 ). Samples of venous blood were collected in the morning at rest from 15 healthy volunteers (control group)and within 24 h after traumatic brain injury from these patients for AVP determinations by radioimmunoassay. The severity and duration of the brain edema were estimated by head CT scan. Results: plasma AVP levels (ng/L) were (mean± SD) control, 3.06 ± 1.49; MTBI, 38. 12 ± 7. 25; andSTBI, 66. 61 ± 17. 10. The plasma level of AVP was significantly increased within 24 h after traumatic brain injury and followed by the reduction of GCS, suggesting the deterioration of cerebral injury ( P 〈 0.01 ). And the AVP level was correlated with the severity ( STBI r = 0. 919, P 〈 0.01 ; MTBI r = 0. 724, P 〈 0.01 ) and the duration of brain edema (STBI r =0.790, P 〈0.01; MTBI r =0.712, P〈0.01). Conclusions. The plasma AVP level is dosely associated with the severity of traumatic brain injury. AVP may play an important role in pathogenesis of brain edema after traumatic brain injury.展开更多
