Objective To study the changes of endothelin (ET) and nitric oxide (NO) in the local site of vein transfer with delayed breaking pedicle and the relation with vasospasm and vein transfer in rabbits. MethodsThe ET concentration of blood was determined with the radioimmunoassay method. The plasma NO-2,NO-3 levels in the local site of vein transfer with delayed breaking pedicle, which reflected NO levels indirectly, were detected with Ultravioletvisible (UvVIS ) spectrophotometer. ResultsThe endothelin concentration of blood was increased significantly at 2, 4 hour after the operation (P<0.01), and at 8 hour after the operation (P<0.05). The plasma NO level was significantly decreased at 2, 4 hour after the operation (P<0.01). But at 24 hour after the operation, the plasma NO level was increased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion The recovery of ET concentration of blood and the increase of plasma NO at 24 hour after the operation are the cause of the reduced incidence of vascular crisis of vein transfer with delayed breaking pedicle, and the very time point is the optimum moment for pedicle breaking.
