چکیده

background: ionizing radiation causes cognitive impairment in adult brain. however, the effects of various irradiation protocols with fractionated fixed total dose on hippocampal function have not yet been studied. materials and methods: fractionated whole brain irradiation with a total dose of 36 gy was performed according to the following protocols: 2gy-18 fractions (2gy*18), 4gy-9 fraction (4gy*9) and 6gy-6 fractions (6gy*6). changes in spatial memory were studied in morris water maze tests at 12th and 17th day after irradiation with a hidden platform and at 38th day after irradiation without a platform. levels of expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) and vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) genes were evaluated using qpcr. results: expression of genes of neurotrophic factors (bdnf and vegf) was decreased at 4th and 8th week after irradiation, the decrease depended on fractionation. the morris water maze test with a hidden platform showed improvement in long-term spatial memory at 12th and 17th day after irradiation. in the morris water maze test without platform cognitive deficit was detected only in 6gy*6 group at 4th week after irradiation. conclusion: our study shows that different fractionation protocols affect hippocampal functions differently, and that the greatest negative impact has the protocol with the maximum single dose. in addition, decrease in expression of genes of neurotrophic factors might play an important role in cognitive impairment.

increased expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor in rat brain after traumatic brain injury

glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (gdnf) plays important roles not only for the differentiation of neurons during normal development but also for the survival and recovery of many populations of mature neurons. the effect of traumatic brain injury (tbi) on the expression of gdnf is currently unknown. to determine if there is alteration in gdnf after tbi we examined the effect of contr...

Effect of Pentoxifylline on Ischemia- induced Brain Damage and Spatial Memory Impairment in Rat

Objective(s) The brief interruption of cerebral blood flow causes permanent brain damage and behavioral dysfunction. The hippocampus is highly vulnerable to ischemic insults, particularly the CA1 pyramidal cell layer. There is no effective pharmacological strategy for improving brain tissue damage induced by cerebral ischemia. Previous studies reported that pentoxifylline (PTX) has a neuroprot...

Adaptive changes of redox status in rat brain tissues due to decimeter microwave irradiation

Electromagnetic waves affect living organisms and it is of great interest for wide interaction of new sources with a diversity of frequencies and powers to life of people. In the last few years, many authors have proposed that the biological effect of electromagnetic fields in both the high-frequency and low-frequency ranges are connected with oxidative processes in tissues. Studying the change...
