Abstract:

Objective  The use of different models of focal cerebral ischemia to appraise the time-space rules of 1H-MRS on measuring metabolism and energy changes in the post-ischemia brain tissue provides the clinical doctors with valuable informati on to judge the prognosis and carry out more effective therapy from the biochemi cal point of view. Methods 9 healthy Sprague-Dawly rats(indiscrimi nate the sex) was divided into two groups randomly. Group A (4 rats), occluded with self-thrombus for 1 h; Group B (5 rats), occluded with thread-emboli fo r 1 h. The 1H-MRS was examined in 30, 40, 50,  60 min after occlusion  respectively, and the metabolic changes of NAA, C ho and Lac in the reg ions of interest in partly-fixed quantity were analyzed. Results Set the resonance intregrated area ratio of NAA, Cho, Lac to Pcr+Cr as the criterion, the values of a ll the metabolites declined gradually within 1 h after ischemia. Especially,  the ratio of Cho/(Pcr+Cr)、NAA/(Pcr+Cr)and Lac/(Pcr+Cr)in 60 min has  significant difference from that in 50 min (P<0.05). Conclusions Magnetic Reson ance Proton Spectroscopy is a good research tool, which is straightforward, comp rehe nsive and no damage, for the study of cellular metabolism and the status of the biochemical energy in acute ischemia stroke.
