Absorption of Radioiodinated Nerve Growth Factor in Hypoxic Neonatal Rats Brain / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe absorption of exogenous nerve growth factor(NGF) between normal newborn rats and newborn rats with hypoxidosis.Methods Thirty-two healthy newborn rats(7 days of age) were divided into experiment group and normal group.Experiment rats were made into hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) model.NGF labeled with()~(125)I or()~(125)I was injected into the rats abdominant.All of the rats were killed and brain was removed after 30 minutes.The brain was dissected into basal forebrain,forehead cortex,hippocampus,thalamus,cerebellum,smellorb,pituitary tissue samples were assayed for radioactivity in a two-channel gamma counter.Results Absorptions of two groups(()~(125)I-NGF) were significantly higher than those of()~(125)I in basal forebrain,cortex,hippocampus,cerebellum.Absorptions of hypoxic group were significantly higher than those of control group in cortex,hippocampus,cerebellum.Conclusions NGF can penertrate blood brain barrier of newborn rats into brain regions by means of peripheral administration.Early application of NGF for treating hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) is feasible.
