Abstract: ObjectiveTo study protective effect of combined medication with nimodipine and mannitol on injury of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.MethodsA model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was performed by clipping bilateral common carotid arteries and vagi, then by releasing them to reperfuse blood into ischmic brain of rats. Changes of SOD, MDA and excitatory amino acids( glutamic acid, Glu) in serum were detected after cerebral ischmia-repefusion in different groups. At the same time pathologic study was performed. ResultsTreatment with nimodipine and mannitol is significantly effective than single medication. ConclusionsCombined medication with nimodipine and mannitol protects brain tissue from cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by synergistic action.

Key words: ischemia-reperfusion, combined medication, nimodipine, mannitol, synergistic action
