目的:观察小针刀刺激足三里穴对肌痛共病抑郁大鼠行为学及海马区Nod样受体蛋白3(Nod-likereceptor protein,NLRP3)和白介素1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)表达的影响。

方法:采用急性利血平腹腔注射法制备肌痛共病抑郁大鼠动物模型,将24只SD雄性大鼠随机分为正常组、模型组、小针刀组和阿米替林组,每组6只,分别给予对应处理。检测各组大鼠Open field行为学以及机械痛敏程度,智能热板仪检测各组大鼠热缩足阈值,应用Western blotting免疫印迹法检测大鼠海马NLRP3和IL-1β表达量。

结果:与模型组比较,小针刀组大鼠足底机械痛阈明显改善(P<0.01);与阿米替林组比较,针刀刺激足三里可显著提高大鼠热缩足阈值(P<0.05)。在Open field行为学大鼠水平运动距离及穿格次数比较中,小针刀组大鼠旷场水平运动总距离明显增加(P<0.05);与模型组比较,大鼠穿格次数有增多趋势,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。模型组大鼠海马体NLRP3和IL-1β表达均明显升高(P<0.05),小针刀组IL-1β表达明显降低(P<0.05);针刺足三里可抑制大鼠海马NLRP3的表达,但与模型组比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。

结论:小针刀可以改善利血平导致的肌痛共病抑郁大鼠的病理状态,其作用机制可能与抑制中枢海马内NLRP3炎性小体和IL-1β的表达有关。  相似文献

PURPOSE: This study aimed at developing a new muscle reinnervation technique using a sensory nerve. METHODS: We attempted innervation of the rat gluteus maximus muscle using the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN). We placed the gluteus maximus muscle into the fibroadipose tissue in the distribution of the LFCN in 24 rats. In one group, the original innervation remained intact. In the second and third groups, the muscles were denervated, and in the third group, the proximal end of the nerve to the gluteus maximus was sutured to the distal end of the divided LFCN. We compared muscle reinnervations of the groups by using electrophysiologic evaluation of the muscle contractions, light microscope evaluation of the axonal regenerations, and scanning electron microscope evaluation of the actin-myosin structures of the muscles at the end of an elapsed waiting period. RESULTS: At the end of electrophysiologic evaluation, the mean area of compound muscle action potentials measured in group 1 was 3.8 ms/mV; in group 2, 0.0; and in group 3 (experimental group), 0.5. Axonal regeneration was observed distal to the coaptation, and actin-myosin structures were mostly spared in group 3. CONCLUSIONS: This study explored the feasibility of a new flap prefabrication method that aims at developing reinnervation of a denervated muscle by means of a sensory nerve. In light of histologic and electrophysiologic findings, this type of reinnervation is possible.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: The treatment of tibial fractures associated with severe soft tissue injury remains a challenge. The objective of our experiment was to ascertain the influence of standardized muscle injuries on fracture healing in a nailed rat tibial fracture model. We hypothesized that a severe crush injury of leg muscles might not be as deleterious to fracture healing as total loss of a large muscle segment. STUDY DESIGN: A randomized study in male Wistar rats with a diaphyseal osteotomy. METHODS: Three separate, but complementary experiments were done in 51 rats. The first experiment involved 30 rats randomly assigned to three increasingly severe soft tissue interventions in a nailed tibial osteotomy model. The second experiment involved 14 rats divided into two groups to study blood flow measurements of the muscle envelope after soft tissue injury. Seven rats were used in the third experiment to provide biomechanical data and dimensions of the rat tibia. The protocol for the first experiment was intramedullary nailing after a middiaphyseal osteotomy of the left tibia. In group A, the soft tissue injury was minimal, while the muscles in the anterolateral compartment were crushed in group B. Resection of the anterolateral compartment muscles, resulting in only skin coverage at the fracture site, was performed in group C. The fibular nerve was resected in all three groups so that the animals were non-weight bearing on the operated extremity. At 4 weeks, the healing bones in each group were studied clinically, radiographically, and biomechanically. RESULTS: Radiographs in two planes revealed a clearly visible fracture line in the three intervention groups at 4 weeks. The callus area following muscle resection in group C was significantly reduced compared with the minimal soft tissue injury in group A. Biomechanically, resection of the anterolateral compartment muscles in group C reduced maximum bending load and fracture energy compared with fractures with minimal soft tissue injury in group A, while bending rigidity and fracture energy was reduced compared with muscle crush in group B. No difference in mechanical characteristics was detected between the healing bones in groups A and B. CONCLUSION: This animal study indicates that crushing of the leg muscle envelope with reduced blood flow does not influence the quality of bone healing at 4 weeks to a significant degree. Resection of a large muscle segment impairs tibial fracture healing significantly.  相似文献

Background and purpose?Neurotization of denervated muscles has been shown to improve muscle bulk, but the neuronal regeneration response has not been compared previously in different surgical techniques of neurotization. Thus, using a rat model of experimental skeletal muscle denervation, we studied neuronal regeneration following sensory neurotization by two methods: sensory nerve to motor branch of muscle and direct sensory nerve implantation to muscle.

Material and methods?The lateral head of the gas-trocnemius muscle was denervated in 36 rats, of which the first 12 served as denervated controls. In the second group of 12, the sural nerve was anastomozed to the motor branch of the gastrocnemius muscle (sensory-to-motor nerve neurotization) and in the remaining 12 rats the sural nerve was split into 4 fascicles and embedded into 4 quadrants of the muscle (direct sensory nerve-to-muscle neurotization). Immunohistochemistry was used to examine nerve fibers in muscle containing the sensory neuropeptides substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and general neuronal marker protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5).

Results?Semiquantitative analysis showed that, compared to the control side, the number of nerve fibers on the experimental side was highest (p < 0.01) for group III (direct sensory nerve-to-muscle neurotization) for all 3 markers. The difference was 71%, 298%, and 254% for PGP 9.5, CGRP, and SP, respectively.

Interpretation?This method may be a good option for inducing neuronal regeneration in denervated muscles, and has therapeutic implications for prevention of atrophy of denervated muscles and as an adjunct for reconstruction of soft tissue defects.  相似文献

IntroductionAlthough muscle injury is a common source of pain, the mechanism causing such pain is not completely known. We have previously reported nerve growth factor (NGF) as a proinflammatory mediator involved in acute pain, and clinical trials have shown the effectiveness of anti-NGF antibodies for management of low back pain. Here, we aim to examine the effects of anti-NGF antibodies on muscle-derived pain by studying their effects on sensory innervation in a rat muscle injury model.MethodsA nervous system tracer, Fluoro-Gold, was applied to both gastrocnemius muscles of 24 male Sprague Dawley rats to stain the sensory nerves. Then, the drop-mass method was used to damage the right gastrocnemius muscle of the posterior limb. Anti-NGF antibodies (50 μL) were injected into the injured muscles in 12 rats. Tissues were evaluated 1, 3, and 7 days post-injury by performing haematoxylin-and-eosin (HE) staining. The percentage of the total number of FG-positive cells that were also positive for a pain-related neuropeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), was determined for the bilateral dorsal root ganglia from L1 to L6 7 days post-injury.ResultsHE staining showed active inflammation, indicated by increased basophil and eosinophil accumulation, at the injury site 1 and 3 days post-injury, as well as scar tissue formation 7 days post-injury. Injection of anti-NGF reduced muscle necrosis 1 and 3 days post-injury, and resulted in replacement of granulation tissue and muscle fibre regeneration 7 days post-injury. Anti-NGF also significantly inhibited CGRP among FG-positive cells (treatment group 38.2%, control group 49.6%; P < 0.05).DiscussionThis study found active inflammation induced by NGF, which may contribute to pain after muscle injury. Anti-NGF antibodies successfully suppressed the pain mediator NGF and inhibited inflammation, suggesting NGF as a target for control in pain management.  相似文献

BackgroundIn acute compartment syndrome (ACS), clinicians have difficulty diagnosing muscle ischemia provoked by increased intra-compartmental pressure in a timely and non-invasive manner. Phonomyography records the acoustic signal produced by muscle contraction. We hypothesize that alterations in muscle contraction caused by muscle ischemia can be detected with phonomyography, serving as a potential non-invasive technique in the detection of ACS.MethodsThe left hind limb of 15 Sprague-Dawley rats was submitted to a reversible ischemic model of limb injury for 30 min and 1, 2, 4, 6 h (3 rats in each group). The right limb served as control. Phonomyography microphones were placed over the posterior calf of both limbs and the sciatic nerve was stimulated percutaneously at 10-min intervals to evaluate muscle contraction. Histopathological analysis of muscles and nerves biopsies was performed and correlation was made between duration of injury, phonomyography output and degree of muscle and nerve necrosis.ResultsThere was a statistically significant decrease in the phonomyography signal output in the ischemic limb that correlated with the duration of ischemia and histological findings of muscle and nerve necrosis. The phonomyography signal decrease and histological findings were respectively: 55.5% (n = 15;p = 0.005) with rare muscle and nerve necrosis at 30 min, 65.6% (n = 12;p = 0.005) with 5–10% muscle necrosis at 1 h, 68.4% (n = 9;p = 0.015) with 100% muscle necrosis and little nerve damage at 2 h, 72.4% (n = 6;p = 0.028) with 100% muscle necrosis and severe nerve damage at 4 h, and 92.8% (n = 3;p = 0.109) with 100% muscle necrosis and severe nerve degeneration at 6 h.ConclusionChanges in phonomyography signal are observed in early ischemic injury prior to the onset of nerve or muscle necrosis. Therefore, phonomyography could serve as a non-invasive technique to detect early ischemic muscle changes in acute compartment syndrome.Clinical relevanceThe detection of abnormal muscle contraction in a timely fashion and non-invasive manner is of interest in clinical settings where the presence of ischemia is not easy to diagnose.  相似文献
