In the current study, we investigate the protective effect of RSNK against apoptosis and oxidative damage induced by cerebral I/R and explore the underlying mechanisms. Cerebral I/R injury was induced by in- traluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） for 2 h followed by reperfusion for 24 h in adult male Sprague- Dawley rats. Rats were randomized into seven groups （n- 8）： Sham group, I/R group, RSNK-treated groups （ 0.7 g · kg ^- 1, 1 . 4 g · kg ^- 1 and 2. 8 g · kg^ - 1 ） , nimodipine （NMP） -treated group and Whitmania pigra Whitman （WW）-treated group. Neurological deficit scores, cerebral humidity content and cerebral infarction volume were measured after the 24 h reperfusion. Malondialdehyde （ MDA）, superoxide dismutase （ SOD）, catalase （ CAT）, inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） and total nitric oxide synthase （TNOS） in serum were measured by assay kits for biochemical analysis. Histological structures of the cortex of the ipsilateral ischemic cerebral hemisphere in rats were observed by Nissl staining. The caspase-3 protein content in the hippocampus and cortex was detected by immunohistochemistry. Additionally, Bax and Bcl-2 protein expressions in the injured brain were evaluated by Western blot. RSNK administration not only markedly improved neurological deficit scores, but also reduced cere- bral humidity content and cerebral infarction volume, lowered MDA content, up-regulated SOD and CAT levels, down-regulated iNOS and TNOS levels, restrained the expression of caspase-3 positive protein and alleviated the Bax and Bcl-2 protein expressions.展开更多

文摘Aim Reduction of Sheng-Nao-Kang decoction （RSNK）, is a modified traditional Chinese medicinal formula of Sheng-Nao-Kang pill preparation, which is protective in rats against focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion （I/R） injury. In the current study, we investigate the protective effect of RSNK against apoptosis and oxidative damage induced by cerebral I/R and explore the underlying mechanisms. Cerebral I/R injury was induced by in- traluminal middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） for 2 h followed by reperfusion for 24 h in adult male Sprague- Dawley rats. Rats were randomized into seven groups （n- 8）： Sham group, I/R group, RSNK-treated groups （ 0.7 g · kg ^- 1, 1 . 4 g · kg ^- 1 and 2. 8 g · kg^ - 1 ） , nimodipine （NMP） -treated group and Whitmania pigra Whitman （WW）-treated group. Neurological deficit scores, cerebral humidity content and cerebral infarction volume were measured after the 24 h reperfusion. Malondialdehyde （ MDA）, superoxide dismutase （ SOD）, catalase （ CAT）, inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） and total nitric oxide synthase （TNOS） in serum were measured by assay kits for biochemical analysis. Histological structures of the cortex of the ipsilateral ischemic cerebral hemisphere in rats were observed by Nissl staining. The caspase-3 protein content in the hippocampus and cortex was detected by immunohistochemistry. Additionally, Bax and Bcl-2 protein expressions in the injured brain were evaluated by Western blot. RSNK administration not only markedly improved neurological deficit scores, but also reduced cere- bral humidity content and cerebral infarction volume, lowered MDA content, up-regulated SOD and CAT levels, down-regulated iNOS and TNOS levels, restrained the expression of caspase-3 positive protein and alleviated the Bax and Bcl-2 protein expressions.

文摘OBJECTIVE To study the treatment effect of Gastrodia elata and Uncaria rhynchophylla water extract(GUW)against cerebral ischemia,and the metabolomic profile of cerebrospinal fluid in GUW treated cerebral ischemia in rat model.METHODS Middle cerebral artery occlusion was performed in male SD rat.GUW or control(PBS)was administered orally for 7d post-operationally.At day 7,the brain of the rat was harvested.The infarct volume of the brain was measured after TTC staining.The brain was subjected to H&E and cresyl violet staining in histological analysis.The cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)of another set of animals was aspirated.The CSF samples were labeled with 13 C-dansyl and 12C-dansyl chloride.The reaction mixture was put into liquid chromatography Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry for analysis of the CSF metabolome.Multivariate statistical analysis will be carried out to determine the differences of metabolomic profile in CSF of GUW versus control group.RESULTS After GUW treatment,the neurological deficit score was significantly improved from day 3 to 7(P<0.001).GUW treated group significantly reduced 55.7%infarct volume on MCAO rats in TTC stained brain slices(P<0.001)and preserved brain histological structure observed in H&E and cresyl violet staining.On the other hand,according to various statistical analyses to compare CSF metabolite in the GUW and control group,volcano plot analysis showed 48 metabolites(P<0.001);OPLS-DA analysis showed 129 metabolites(VIP score >2.0)and 45 metabolites in ROC curve analysis.Among identified metabolites,L-aspartic acid(60%)and glycine(62%)decreased in GUW while threoninyl-alanine increased by 1.6 fold significantly.CONCLUSION GUW ameliorated cerebral ischemic injury,and the metabolomic approach may be a potential means to find biomarker of the Chinese medicine treatment on cerebral ischemia.
文摘目的探讨急性脑缺血/再灌注大鼠神经元细胞骨架蛋白时空动态变化。方法线栓法阻断大鼠大脑中动脉90 min后实现再灌注,在不同再灌注时间点观察及取材。尼氏染色观察神经细胞损伤,采用神经功能缺损评分和前肢放置实验评估神经功能;免疫组化染色、免疫印迹法观察细胞骨架成分微管相关蛋白2(microtubule associated protein 2,MAP2)、神经丝重链(neurofilament heavy chain,NF-H)的变化;透射电镜观察轴突、树突和神经丝亚显微结构。结果随着再灌注时间的延长,脑损伤和神经行为功能损害逐渐加重。纹状体损伤比皮层出现的更早、更严重。缺血区域的MAP2相关免疫反应强度降低,NF-H相关免疫反应强度升高。超微结构观察显示细胞骨架排列受损,密度降低。结论不同脑区对缺血/再灌注损伤的耐受性不同。神经元细胞骨架的主要成分对缺血和再灌注表现出动态反应,这可能进一步促进脑损伤和神经功能缺损。
文摘目的观察不同针灸介入时机对大脑中动脉供血区急性脑梗死神经功能预后的影响。方法回顾性选取2020年1月—2022年8月收治的116例大脑中动脉供血区急性脑梗死患者的临床资料进行分析,根据针灸介入时机分为两组。两组均进行静脉溶栓及常规药物治疗,观察组61例患者于发病72 h内给予针灸治疗,对照组55例患者于发病2周时给予针灸治疗。检测两组不同时间点侧支循环代偿情况、脑损伤标志物的水平,评估两组不同时间点简易精神状态检查(Mini-mental state examination,MMSE)评分、神经功能评分、Barthel指数(Barthel index,BI)评分、肢体运动功能评分、中医症状评分的差异,统计两组疗效。结果治疗前,两组侧支循环代偿情况比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗4周和随访时,两组患侧大脑前动脉平均血流速度与对侧大脑中动脉平均血流速度的比值(Ratio of the average flow ve⁃locity of the affected anterior cerebral artery to the average flow velocity of the contralateral middle cerebral artery,iVACA/cVM⁃CA)较治疗前升高,观察组同时间点较对照组更高(P<0.05);两组患侧大脑后动脉平均血流速度与对侧大脑中动脉平均血流速度的比值(Ratio of the average flow velocity of the affected posterior cerebral artery to the average flow velocity of the contralateral middle cerebral artery,iVPCA/cVMCA)与治疗前比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗前,两组脑损伤标志物比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗4周和随访时,两组脑源性神经营养因子(Brain-derived neurotrophic factor,BDNF)较治疗前升高,观察组同时间点较对照组更高(P<0.05);两组钙结合蛋白β(Calcium binding proteinβ,S100β)、神经胶质纤维酸性蛋白(Glial fibrillary acid protein,GFAP)较治疗前下降,观察组同时间点较对照组更低(P<0.05)。治疗前,两组Fugl-Meyer评分、中医症状评分等相关评分比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗4周和随访时,两组MMSE评分、BI评分及上肢和下肢Fugl-Meyer评分较治疗前升高,观察组同时间点较对照组更高(P<0.05);两组美国国立卫生院神经功能缺损(National institutes of health stroke scale,NIHSS)评分、中医症状评分较治疗前下降,观察组同时间点较对照组更低(P<0.05)。观察组总有效率为88.52%(54/61)高于对照组的72.73%(40/55),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论发病72h内采用针灸治疗可改善大脑中动脉供血区急性脑梗死脑损伤标志物的表达,改善脑血流,促进神经功能的恢复,有利于疾病的康复。
文摘目的探讨颞浅动脉-大脑中动脉端侧吻合术中不同临时阻断技术的效果及可靠性。方法回顾性分析2015年1月—2023年4月南方医科大学南方医院神经外科收治的接受直接搭桥术治疗的烟雾病患者资料,根据临时阻断策略的不同将患者分为3组:①有垫片、多阻断夹阻断组(multi-clips+rubber pad group,M+R组);②无垫片、多阻断夹阻断组(multi-clips group,M组);③无垫片、单阻断夹阻断组(single-clip group,S组)。比较组间临时阻断时间、受体动脉切开后有无渗血、术中穿支血管损伤以及术后新发脑梗死情况。结果共355例患者、360个大脑半球纳入分析,按大脑半球统计患者360例,其中男性188例,女性172例,平均年龄为(43.8±0.7)岁。其中M+R组45例,M组191例,S组124例。3组平均阻断时间:M+R组为(37.9±9.8)min,M组为(20.9±9.0)min,S组为(11.0±3.5)min,组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.001)。阻断后受体动脉管腔内渗血以及术中穿支血管损伤发生率:M+R组为8.89%(阻断后受体动脉渗血4例),M组为14.66%(阻断后受体动脉渗血19例,术中穿支血管损伤8例,临时阻断部位有血栓形成1例),S组为5.65%(阻断后受体动脉渗血7例),组间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。术后新发脑梗死发生率差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论单阻断夹阻断策略安全、有效,能显著缩短临时阻断时间,可以优先考虑作为颞浅动脉-大脑中动脉端侧吻合过程中的临时阻断策略。
