The work is to explore the protection of magnesium sulfate(MgSO,4,) on radiation-induced acute brain injury. Thirty six mature Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into 3 groups of control, experimental control and experimental therapy group. The whole brains of SD rats of experimental control and experimental therapy group were irradiated with a dose of 20 Gy using 6 MeV electron beam. MgSO,4, was injected into the abdomen of experimental therapy rats group 1day before, immediately and continue for 5days after irradiation respectively. The brain tissues were taken on 3, 10, 17 and 24 d after irradiation. Ca,2+, content in brain cell was measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy, and the NO content in brain tissue was detected by the method of nitric acid reductase. Compared with the blank control group, the contents of Ca,2+, in brain cell and NO in brain tissue of the experimental control group increase (,P,<,0.05). Compared with the experimental control group, the two indexes of the experimental therapy group decrease (,P,<,0.05). It shows that MgSO,4, used in early stage can inhibit the contents of Ca,2+, in brain cell and NO in brain tissue after radiation-induced acute brain injury. It means that MgSO,4, has a protective effect on radiation-induced acute brain injury.
