Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Cortical spreading depolarization (CSD), cortical spreading ischemia (CSI), and early brain injury are involved in the occurrence of delayed brain ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We tested whether local application of magnesium (Mg) sulfate solution suppressed CSD and CSI, and decreased brain damage in a rat SAH-mimicking model.

METHODS: Nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester (L-NAME) and high concentration potassium solution were topically applied to simulate the environment after SAH. We irrigated the parietal cortex with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF), containing L-NAME (1 mM), K

RESULTS: Mg solution significantly shortened the total depolarization time, and reduced CSI, histological brain damage, and brain edema compared with those of the control group (P < 0.05). Body weight loss was significantly suppressed in the Mg group (P < 0.05), but neurological score did not improve.

CONCLUSIONS: Local application of Mg suppressed CSI and reduced brain damage in a rat SAH-mimicking model. Mg irrigation therapy may be beneficial to suppress brain damage due to CSI after SAH.
