METHODS: Sixty male Wistar rats were selected, weighing from 250g to 350g, and divided into 5 groups randomly: SO, ALF (6h, 12h), L-Arg, L-NAME, L-Arg and L-NAME, each group with 10 rats. The dose of L-Arg was 300mg.kg(-1), and L-NAME was 30mg.kg(-1), the reagents diluted by normal saline were injected through tail vein 30 minutes pre and post operation. The rats in the ALF group were respectively sacrificed postoperatively at 6h, 12h, and the rats in the other groups were sacrificed postoperatively at 6h. The tissues of small and large intestines were harvested in 4% paraforaldehyde containing the reagent of DEPC and fixed at 6h, embedded in paraffin, and 4 microm section was cut. The expression of eNOSmRNA and iNOSmRNA in these tissues was determined with in situ hybridization, and analyzed with the imaging analysis system of CMM-3 and SPSS statistical software. RESULTS: The expression of eNOSmRNA in the large intestine and iNOSmRNA in the small and large intestines increased significantly at 6h after ALF, but the expression of iNOSmRNA in the small and large intestines reduced notably at 12h after ALF (P【0.05); the expression of eNOSmRNA in the large intestine and iNOSmRNA in the small and large intestines decreased significantly with the reagents of L-Arg at 6h ALF, but the expression of eNOSmRNA and iNOSmRNA in the small and large intestines decreased totally with the reagents of L-NAME or association with L-Arg 6h ALF. CONCLUSION: The expression of eNOSmRNA in the large intestine increased notably at the early stage of ALF, NO induced by the enzyme of eNOS from the transplantation of eNOSmRNA can protect the function of the large intestine, the high expression of iNOSmRNA is involved in the damaged function of the small and large intestines.
