dc.description.abstractPurpose: Increased small bowel nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity accused for postnatal intestinal dysmotility in gastroschisis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of prenatal NO synthase inhibition on intestinal damage in gastroschisis. Methods: Sixteen-day-old fertilized chick eggs were divided into 4 groups. In the control group, the allantoic and amniotic membranes were opened to create a common cavity. In the gastroschisis group, a defect in the abdominal wall was made, and intestinal loops were exteriorized. In the gastroschisis pretreated with L-NAME group, gastroschisis was created, and L-NAME was administered into the amnioallantoic cavity for 4 days. In the gastroschisis sham pretreated group, after the same surgical procedure as the previous group, same amount of saline was given beside L-NAME. At the end of 20th day of incubation, intestinal morphological changes were investigated macroscopically and microscopically. Results:Macroscopic changes such as shortening, thickening, and fibrous adhesions were found in the exteriorized bowels of the just gastroschisis group and the gastroschisis pretreated saline group. However, there was only mild thickening in the gastroschisis pretreated with L-NAME group. Microscopically, compared with the gastroschisis group, serosal thickness, muscular thickness, and bowel wall thickness were found to be significantly lower in the gastroschisis pretreated with L-NAME group (128.0 +/- 19.3 pm and 239.5 +/- 3.0 mu m V57.0 +/- 8.2 mu m and 145.0 +/- 9.7 mu m). Conclusion: It is possible to decrease intrauterine intestinal morphological changes in gastroschisis by inhibiting NO synthase. Copyright (C) 1999 by W.B. Saunders Company.en_US
