目的 观察柴胡疏肝汤对戊四氮致痫大鼠海马及额叶皮质c-fos表达的影响.方法 选取经戊四氮诱导制作的癫痫模型大鼠48只,按随机数字表法分成6组:癫痫模型组、德巴金组、定痫丸组、柴胡疏肝汤低剂量组、柴胡疏肝汤中剂量组和柴胡疏肝汤高剂量组,每组各8只;另设正常对照组8只.正常对照组和癫痫模型组常规饲养,其他各组给予药物德巴金,定痫丸,低、中、高剂量柴胡疏肝汤处理,均连续灌胃治疗5周.免疫组化染色检测各组大鼠海马及额叶皮质c-fos的表达情况.结果 戊四氮致痫后大鼠海马及额叶皮质c-fos表达明显增强,而应用中、高剂量的柴胡疏肝汤,德巴金和定痫丸治疗后,大鼠海马及额叶皮质c-fos表达均明显减弱,与癫痫模型组比较差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05),而柴胡疏肝汤低剂量组大鼠海马及额叶皮质c-fos表达无明显减弱.结论 柴胡疏肝汤的抗癫痫作用机制可能与其含有柴胡皂甙及其他多种有效的抗癫痫成份多靶点干预海马及额叶皮质c-fos表达水平有关.Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of chaihushugantang on the expression of c-fos in the hippocampus and frontal lobe cortex of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced epileptic rats. Methods Forty-eight PTZ-induced epileptic rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: epileptic model group,Valproate treatment group, Dingxianwan treatment group, and lower-dose, medium-dose and high-dose chaihushugantang treatment groups (n=8). Normal control group was also employed (n=8). The epileptic rats in the normal control group and epileptic model group were fed normally. Rats of the treatment groups were performed intragastric administration of medicines (Valproate, Dingxianwan and chaihushugantang) for 5 weeks in succession respectively. The expression of c-fos in the hippocampus and frontal lobe cortex of all the rats was observed. Results The expression of c-fos in the hippocampus and frontal lobe cortex of rats in the epileptic model group was significantly increased, while the c-fos expression in the hippocampus and the frontal lobe cortex of rats in the medium-dose and high-dose chaihushugantang treatment groups and Valproate treatment group and Dingxianwan treatment group was significantly decreased as compared with that in epileptic model group (P<0.05). But the c-fos expression in the hippocampus and the frontal lobe cortex of rats in the low-dose chaihushugantang treatment group showed no obvious decrease. Conclusion Chaihushugantang has good antiepileptic effect, might through affecting the c-fos expression in the epileptic rats. The antiepileptic mechanism of chaihushugantang can be related to saikosaponins and other antiepileptic constituents in it. 相似文献

Methods Sixty male SD rats were equally randomized into normal control group, sham-operated group, injured group and forskolin treatment group. Rat models of cerebral injury in the later 2 groups were induced by the improved device of Feeney weight-dropping. Foskolin treatment group was peritoneally administered forskolin 5 mg/kg 0.5 h after the brain injury. Twenty g/L Evens blue was given through intravenous injection 23 h after the injury; all the rats were sacrificed 24 h after the injury. The permeation of Evens blue was observed qualitatively with a fluorescence microscope and measured quantitatively with a spectrophotometer. Results No obvious permeation of Evens blue was noted in the surrounding areas of the damaged tissue of normal controls and sham-operated group; Evans blue significantly permeated in the injured group; as compared with that in the injured group, the permeation of Evens blue was significantly decreased in the forskolin treatment group (P<0.05). The level of Evens blue in the cortex and hippocampus of both side of the brain in the injured group was significantly higher that that in the normal controls and sham-operated group (P<0.05); the level of Evens blue in the cortex of the left side of the brain in the forskolin treatment group was significantly lower that that in the injured group, but obviously higher than that in the normal controls and sham-operated group (P<0.05).Conclusion Forskolin, the reagent elevating the cellular content of cAMP, can significantly prevent BBB opening. 相似文献

Methods One hundred and thirty SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (n=10), sham-operated group (n=10), and carotid atherosclerotic (CAS) group (n=110). High-fat diet was given to the sham-operated group and CAS group; normal diet was given to the control group. Then, 105 alive rats in the CAS group were further sub-divided into non-ACE group (n=40), ACE group (n=38) and nimodipine treatment group (n=37). All the groups were subjected to ACE for 3 d except non-ACE group, and kept at 22 °C throughout the experiment. During the ACE, an intragastric administration of nimodipine was given to the nimodipine treatment group. The changes of the blood pressure before and after ACE were analyzed and compared. Results The level of pre-ACE blood pressure in the sham-operated group and CAS group was significantly higher than that in the normal group (P<0.05). The level of post-ACE blood pressure was significantly increased in the normal group, sham-operated group and ACE group, and significantly decreased in the nimodipine treatment group as compared with the level of pre-ACE one in these groups (P<0.05). No significant differences were noted between the levels of pre-ACE and post-ACE blood pressure in the normal group, sham-operated group and ACE group (P>0.05). The level of post-ACE blood pressure in rats treated with nimodipine was obviously decreased as compared with that in the ACE group (P<0.05). Conclusion ACE could increase the level of blood pressure in carotid atherosclerotic rats and this effect might be lessoned by the administration of nimodipine. 相似文献

目的 研究丰富环境对局灶性脑梗死大鼠学习记忆及海马区微血管密度的影响.方法 采用开颅电凝法制作SD大鼠右侧大脑中动脉缺血(MCAO)模型,术后24h随机分为丰富环境组(EE组)和标准环境组(SE组),另设假手术组(Sham组),不电凝大脑中动脉,其余步骤与手术组相同.分别于术后7d、28d进行Mornis水迷宫测试大鼠学习记忆能力;以免疫组织化学法测定海马区微血管密度.结果 在学习记忆能力上,EE组成绩明显优于SE组(P<0.01),与Sham组相比无显著性差异(P>0.05);缺血侧海马区微血管密度显示EE组在术后14d、28d明显高于SE组大鼠(P<0.05),与Sham组相比无显著性差异(P>0.05).结论 丰富环境可促进脑梗死大鼠学习记忆能力的恢复与海马区微血管新生,改善大鼠的预后.Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of enriched environment on learning and memory and microvessel density in hippocampus of rats after unilateral local cerebral infarction. Methods The right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was performed with electric coagulation in SD rats, then the rats were randomly divided into enriched environment stimulation group (EE group) and standard environment stimulation group (SE group). The sham-operation rats were as control group. On 7d and 28d, Morris water maze was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability;microvessel density in hippocampus of rats was measured in the boundary zone to brain infarction on 1d,3d,7d,14d and 28d. Result The learning and memory ability in EE group was significantly better than that in SE group ( P < 0.01 ) and there was no significant difference between EE group and Sham group (P > 0.05 ) ;Compared with SE group, the microvessel density (MVD) of EE group in hippocampus of rats significantly increased on 14d and 28d after MCAO( P <0.05). There was no significant difference in MVD between EE group and sham group (P > 0.05 ). Conclusion The enriched environment can enhance the ability of learning and memory and promote the blood vessel proliferation of rats with unilateral local cerebral infarction.The study suggests enriched environment is good for recovery from brain damage in rats with MCAO. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter plays an important role in gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolism, and is highly associated with epilepsy seizures. Pathologically, astrocytes release active substances that alter neuronal excitability, and it has been demonstrated that astrocytes play a role in epileptic seizures. OBJECTIVE: To observe changes in gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein expression in the hippocampus and cortex of the temporal lobe in rats with pentylenetetrazol-induced chronic epilepsy. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized, controlled, animal experiment was performed at the Department of Neurobiology, Third Military University of Chinese PLA between January 2006 and December 2007. MATERIALS: Pentylenetetrazol was purchased from Sigma, USA; rabbit anti-rat gammaaminobutyric acid transporter 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein were from Chemicon, USA. METHODS: A total of 40 Sprague Dawley rats were divided into model and control groups. Rat models of chronic epilepsy were created by pentylenetetrazol kindling, and were subdivided into 3-, 7-, and 14-day kindling subgroups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein expression, as well as the number of positive cells in the hippocampus and cortex of temporal lobe of rats, were determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analyses. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the number of gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein -positive cells in the hippocampus and cortex of rats with pentylenetetrazol-induced epilepsy significantly increased, gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein expression increased after 3 days of kindling, reached a peak on day 7, and remained at elevated levels at day 14 (P〈 0.05). CONCLUSION: Astrocytic activation and gamma-aminobutyric acid transporter 1 overexpression may contribute to pentylenetetrazol-induced epilepsy. 相似文献

Temporal lobe epilepsy is associated with astrogliosis. Notchl signaling can induce astrogliosis in glioma. However, it remains unknown whether Notchl signaling is involved in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. This study investigated the presence of Notchl, hairy and enhancer of split-l, and glial fibrillary acidic protein in the temporal neocortex and hippocampus of lithium-pilocar- pine-treated rats. The presence of Notchl and hairy and enhancer of split-1 was also explored in brain tissues of patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. Quantitative electroencephalo- gram analysis and behavioral observations were used as auxiliary measures. Results revealed that the presence of Notchl, hairy and enhancer of split-l, and glial fibriUary acidic protein were en- hanced in status epilepticus and vehicle-treated spontaneous recurrent seizures rats, but remain unchanged in the following groups: control, absence of either status epilepticus or spontaneous recurrent seizures, and zileuton-treated spontaneous recurrent seizures. Compared with patient control cases, the presences of Notch1 and hairy and enhancer of split- 1 were upregulated in the temporal neocortex of patients with intractable temporal lobe epilepsy. Therefore, these results suggest that Notchl signaling may play an important role in the onset of temporal lobe epilepsy via astrogliosis. Furthermore, zileuton may be a potential therapeutic strategy for temporal lobe epilepsy by blocking Notchl signaling. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have demonstrated that astrocyte dysfunction plays a central role in inhibiting epileptic seizures and that regulation of astrocyte function may be a new target for treatment of epilepsy. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Ganoderma lucidum spore powder (GLSP) on astrocyte morphology and glutamine synthetase (COS) activity in the hippocampal region of epileptic rats. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized, controlled animal experiment was performed at the Function Laboratory, College of Basic Medicine, Jiamusi University between October and December 2006. MATERIALS: A total of 30 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomized to three groups (n = 10): control, model, and GLSP. GLSP was sourced from Jiamusi Wild Ganoderma Lucidum Planting Base and prepared to 30 g/L with physiological saline before use. Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) (10 g/L) was provided by Sigma Company, USA. METHODS: The control group received intraperitoneal (i.p.) and intragastric (i.g.) physiological saline. Following epilepsy induction by i.p. administration of PTZ (35 mg/kg), rats from the mode/and GLSP groups were ig injected with physiological saline and GLSP (300 mg/kg), respectively. Each compound was administered once per day, for a total of 28 successive days. Epileptic seizure convulsions were graded 0-5. A higher grade indicated more severe epilepsy. Only those rats showing stage 2 or higher convulsions at least 5 times successively were included in further experiments. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Immediately alter injection, seizure activity was monitored for 30 minutes to determine the latent period and seizure duration; simultaneously, astrocyte numbers and GS activity in the hippocampal region of rats with epilepsy were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: All 30 rats were included in the final analysis. On day 28, following PTZ administration epileptic seizures were not found in the control group. In the GLSP group, rats exhibited rhythmic head nodding or 相似文献

Purpose: Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal electroshock (MES) models are often used to induce seizures in nonepileptic control animals or naive animals. Despite being widely used to screen antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), both models have so far failed to detect potentially useful AEDs for treating drug-resistant epilepsies. Here we investigated whether the acute induction of MES and PTZ seizures in epileptic rats might yield a distinct screening profile for AEDs.
Methods: Status epilepticus (SE) was induced in adult male Wistar rats by intraperitoneal pilocarpine injection (Pilo, 320 mg/kg, i.p.). One month later, controls or naive animals (Cont) that did not develop SE postpilocarpine (N-Epi) and pilocarpine-epileptic rats (Epi) received one of the following: phenobarbital (PB, 40 mg/kg), phenytoin (PHT, 50 mg/kg), or valproic acid (VPA, 400 mg/kg). Thirty min later the animals were challenged with either subcutaneous MES or PTZ (50 mg/kg, s.c.).
Results: VPA, PB, and PHT were able to prevent MES in all groups tested (Cont, N-Epi, and Epi groups), whereas for the PTZ model, only the Cont group (naive animals) had seizure control with the same AEDs. In addition, Epi and N-Epi groups when challenged with PTZ exhibited a higher incidence of severe seizures (scores IV-IX) and SE (p < 0.05, Fisher's exact test).
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the induction of acute seizures with PTZ, but not with MES, in animals pretreated with pilocarpine (regardless of SE induction) might constitute an effective and valuable method to screen AEDs and to study mechanisms involved in pharmacoresistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). 相似文献

Magnesium sulfate has been used as an anticonvulsant in the treatment of eclampsia, but efficacy of magnesium in other types of seizure disorders is poorly documented. We examined the effects of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on seizures produced in mice by maximal electroshock (MES) and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), MgSO4 injection (6.7 mEq/kg i.p.) caused weakness in all animals. With suprathreshold electroshock, 10/10 controls and 11/12 treated animals had seizures with tonic hind limb extension (P = NS). Electroshock threshold was unaltered by magnesium treatment (n = 48; P = 0.47). PTZ induced clonic seizures in 12/12 controls and 5/14 treated animals (P less than 0.05). This difference was likely due to muscular weakness because frequency of EEG spikes was the same in PTZ and PTZ + MgSO4 groups. Mean serum magnesium levels were 2.3 +/- 0.3 mEq/l in animals not given MgSO4; 10.9 +/- 1.4 mEq/l and 12.8 +/- 2.2 mEq/l in treated animals with and without seizures (P = NS). We conclude that magnesium sulfate had no significant anticonvulsant activity in mouse MES and PTZ models for epilepsy. The relevance of these findings to the possible efficacy of magnesium sulfate in eclamptic seizures and other types of epilepsy remains to be determined. 相似文献
