Abstract:
Objective To investigate the protective effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride pretreatment on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and expression of caspase-3 in rats.Methods Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=20): control (C) group in which sham operation was performed; ischemia-reperfusion (I-R)group, in which saline (2.0 mg?kg-1)was administered for intraperitoneal injection 30 min before anesthesia,then the ischemia model was made by occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery for 120 min; penehyclidine hydrochloride pretreatment (P) group, in which penehyclidine hydrochloride(2.0 mg?kg-1)was administered for intraperitoneal injection 30 min before anesthesia,then the same 120 min focal cerebral ischemia was performed as described in I-R group.At the end of 24 h reperfusion the animals were decapitated and the brains were removed.The volume of cerebral infarction was detected with TTC staining;Coronal sections including hippocampal tissue were obtained for HE staining.The levels of caspase-3 mRNA expression in hippocampus were detected by using semi-quantitative RT-PCR technique.Results Compared with group I-R,the volume of cerebral infarction in group P were reduced significantly(P
