- Objective: To study the effects of pre-ischemic hyperbaric
oxygen (HBO) and post-ischemic aminoguanidine (AG)
on the infarct volume in permanent middle cerebral
artery occlusion.
Methods: This study was approved by the Animal
Experiments Ethics Committee of Gulhane Military
Medical Academy, Ankara, Turkey and carried out from
March 2006 to August 2006. A total of 28 Sprague-
Dawley rats (200-320 g) were divided into 4 groups:
control (K) group (n = 7); HBO group (n = 7); HBO
+ AG group (n = 7); and the AG group (n = 7). All rats
underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)
by subtemporal craniectomy, and permanent ischemia
was created. A 2.8 atmospheric pressure of HBO was
first applied to the HBO and HBO + AG groups for
45 minutes, and occlusion was created after 2 hours. In
the HBO + AG group, intraperitoneal administration of
AG hemisulfate (100 mg/kg) was started 6 hours after
MCAO, and was continued twice a day for 3 days.
Results: The rate of infarction was found to be 22.2±3.1%
in the control group, 16.1±2.7% in the HBO group,
15.2±1.9% in the HBO+AG group, and 14.4±3.3%
in the AG groups. The rate of infarctions (therefore
the volume of infarct) in the HBO, HBO + AG, and
AG groups were found to be significantly decreased
compared with the control group (p=0.002, p=0.001,
and p=0.001).
Conclusion: In permanent MCAO-induced ischemia
in rats, HBO and AG were observed to have a lowering
effect on the infarct volume, but no additive effect was
observed. This situation can be explained by different
mechanisms of action.
