亚慢性硝酸钇暴露对雌性大鼠学习记忆能力的影响

目的：观察稀土化合物硝酸钇[Y（NO₃）₃]亚慢性（90 d）暴露对大鼠学习记忆能力的影响，并探究其可能的机制，为全面评估稀土元素钇的健康风险提供科学依据。方法：选用刚离乳（PND21）SD雌性大鼠，根据质量随机分为4组，分别为对照组（ddH₂O），Y（NO₃）₃低剂量组[10 mg/（kg·d）]、中剂量组[40 mg/（kg·d）]和高剂量组[160 mg/（kg·d）]，每组15只。连续灌胃受试物90 d后进行旷场实验、高架十字迷宫实验、转棒实验、Morris水迷宫实验。水迷宫检测后，每组取5只雌鼠心脏原位灌注，进行脑组织病理学检查。每组剩余10只雌鼠摘取脑组织，紫外分光光度计检测雌鼠大脑皮质和海马中谷氨酸（Glu）的含量；Western blot检测海马组织中N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸（NMDA）受体蛋白表达情况。结果：与对照组相比，硝酸钇90 d暴露后，转棒实验中160 mg/（kg·d）剂量组大鼠在棒时间、在棒圈数、掉落速度明显升高（P<0.05）。在Morris水迷宫定位航向实验第4天时，40、160 mg/（kg·d）剂量组大鼠逃避潜伏期明显降低（P<0.05）；Morris水迷宫空间探索实验中，40 mg/（kg·d）剂量组大鼠穿越平台次数、目标象限游泳时间明显增加（P<0.05）；160 mg/（kg·d）剂量组穿越平台次数、进入目标象限次数、目标象限游泳时间明显增加（P<0.05）；160 mg/（kg·d）剂量组大鼠东北、东南、西南象限的逃避潜伏期明显低于西北象限的逃避潜伏期（P<0.05）。160 mg/（kg·d）剂量组大鼠海马中Glu含量和NMDA受体NR1含量均明显低于对照组（P<0.05）。40和160 mg/（kg·d）剂量组大鼠海马中NMDA受体NR2A含量明显低于对照组（P<0.05）。结论：硝酸钇亚慢性（90 d）暴露可以引起雌性大鼠空间学习记忆能力增强；硝酸钇可能通过降低海马组织神经元细胞外Glu含量，抑制NMDA受体激活，增强雌性大鼠的空间学习记忆能力。     

Deficiency of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 leads to neural hyperexcitability and aggravates cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury

Systematic administration of anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin 4 (IL-4) has been shown to improve recovery after cerebral ischemic stroke. However, whether IL-4 affects neuronal excitability and how IL-4 improves ischemic injury remain largely unknown. Here we report the neuroprotective role of endogenous IL-4 in focal cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. In multi-electrode array (MEA) recordings, IL-4 reduces spontaneous firings and network activities of mouse primary cortical neurons. IL-4 mRNA and protein expressions are upregulated after I/R injury. Genetic deletion of Il-4 gene aggravates I/R injury in vivo and exacerbates oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) injury in cortical neurons. Conversely, supplemental IL-4 protects Il-4^−/− cortical neurons against OGD injury. Mechanistically, cortical pyramidal and stellate neurons common for ischemic penumbra after I/R injury exhibit intrinsic hyperexcitability and enhanced excitatory synaptic transmissions in Il-4^−/− mice. Furthermore, upregulation of Nav1.1 channel, and downregulations of KCa3.1 channel and α6 subunit of GABA_A receptors are detected in the cortical tissues and primary cortical neurons from Il-4^−/− mice. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that IL-4 deficiency results in neural hyperexcitability and aggravates I/R injury, thus activation of IL-4 signaling may protect the brain against the development of permanent damage and help recover from ischemic injury after stroke.

建立华细辛和北细辛HPLC特征图谱并结合聚类分析研究2种来源细辛的识别方法;应用网络药理学方法预测细辛潜在抗炎靶点并寻找潜在抗炎成分。对89批细辛药材(12批华细辛和77批北细辛)的数据进行分析确定了11个特征峰,用对照品、紫外光谱和LC-MS指认了11个特征成分。特征峰面积聚类分析显示华细辛和北细辛被分为2类,且利用特征峰面积比值可实现两者区分,当特征峰9(细辛素)/参照峰S(卡枯醇)峰面积比值大于5时为华细辛,小于2时为北细辛。对119种细辛成分进行网络药理学分析的结果表明细辛抗炎作用可能与COX-2,COX-1,iNOS,MAPK14,LAT4H,NR3C1,PPARG和TNF等8个靶点相关,其中COX-2最为关键,与5种特征成分细辛脂素、芝麻脂素、细辛素、甲基丁香酚和黄樟醚均存在相互作用。此外,细辛脂素、芝麻脂素与iNOS,MAPK14也存在相互作用关系,黄樟醚和细辛素可作用于iNOS,COX-1,LAT4H,甲基丁香酚可作用于COX-1,LAT4H。细辛脂素与芝麻脂素均可作用在COX-2,iNOS和MAPK143个靶点上,提示它们是细辛发挥抗炎作用的活性成分;COX-2分子对接结果和COX-2活性实验结果验证了细辛脂素、芝麻脂素可抑制COX-2活性,为细辛抗炎作用活性成分。基于HPLC特征图谱的华细辛和北细辛识别方法简便易行;预测到的细辛抗炎靶点和抗炎成分为完善细辛质量评价体系奠定了基础。     

Screw angulation affects bone-screw stresses and bone graft load sharing in anterior cervical corpectomy fusion with a rigid screw-plate construct: a finite element model study

Background contextAnterior corpectomy and reconstruction with bone graft and a rigid screw-plate construct is an established procedure for treatment of cervical neural compression. Despite its reliability in relieving symptoms, there is a high rate of construct failure, especially in multilevel cases.PurposeThere has been no study evaluating the biomechanical effects of screw angulation on construct stability; this study investigates the C4–C7 construct stability and load-sharing properties among varying screw angulations in a rigid plate-screw construct.Study designA finite element model of a two-level cervical corpectomy with static anterior cervical plate.MethodsA three-dimensional finite element (FE) model of an intact C3–T1 segment was developed and validated. From this intact model, a fusion model (two-level [C5, C6] anterior corpectomy) was developed and validated. After corpectomy, allograft interbody fusion with a rigid anterior screw-plate construct was created from C4 to C7. Five additional FE models were developed from the fusion model corresponding to five different combinations of screw angulations within the vertebral bodies (C4, C7): (0°, 0°), (5°, 5°), (10°, 10°), (15°, 15°), and (15°, 0°). The fifth fusion model was termed as a hybrid fusion model.ResultsThe stability of a two-level corpectomy reconstruction is not dependent on the position of the screws. Despite the locked screw-plate interface, some degree of load sharing is transmitted to the graft. The load seen by the graft and the shear stress at the bone-screw junction is dependent on the angle of the screws with respect to the end plate. Higher stresses are seen at more divergent angles, particularly at the lower level of the construct.ConclusionThis study suggests that screw divergence from the end plates not only increases load transmission to the graft but also predisposes the screws to higher shear forces after corpectomy reconstruction. In particular, the inferior screw demonstrated larger stress than the upper-level screws. In the proposed hybrid fusion model, lower stresses on the bone graft, end plates, and bone-screw interface were recorded, inferring lower construct failure (end-plate fractures and screw pullout) potential at the inferior construct end.
