9602对脑缺血再灌大鼠海马CA1区诱发电位与形态学改变的影响

目的:探讨脑缺血再灌注后海马CA1区诱发群峰电位的变化与形态学改变的关系及中药9602的影响。方法:在整体脑缺血再灌注后不同时间制备的海马脑片上,记录CA1区诱发群峰电位(PS)的变化。采用TUNEL,Nissl染色法进行形态学检测。结果:脑缺血再灌组诱发PS的阈强度明显大于假手术组,波幅显著减小;加条件刺激后PS增幅显著低于假手术组,持续时间缩短。上述变化始于脑缺血再灌后8h,随再灌时间的延长而加重。海马CA1区再灌后8h起TUNEL阳性细胞明显增多,24h达高峰,异常细胞8h最多,随后降低并在低水平持续到7d,细胞总数随再灌时间的延长逐渐减少。中药9602明显降低缺血再灌脑片PS阈强度,增大PS波幅;加大条件刺激后PS增幅并延长持续时间;明显减少海马CA1区的TUNEL阳性细胞数,阻止CA1区细胞数的减少。结论:脑缺血再灌后海马CA1区神经细胞兴奋性和反应性降低,与脑缺血再灌后迟发性神经元死亡(DND)有关,细胞凋亡起重要作用。9602明显改善CA1区神经细胞的兴奋性和反应性,可能与其抑制脑缺血再灌诱导的细胞凋亡,减轻DND的发生有关。

Effect of Chinese herbs 9602 on the alterations of evoking population spike and morphology in hippocampal CA1 region after ischemia/reperfusion in rats

AIM: To explore the relationship between dynamic changes of population spike (PS) and morphologic alterations in hippocampal CA1 region and morphology after transient ischemia/reperfusion and the improving effects of Chinese herbs 9602. METHODS: Changes of evoking population spike ware investigated by electrical stimulating Schaffer collateral in CA1 region of hippocampal slice after ischemia/reperfusion in vivo . Apoptosis and morphologic alterations at different time points after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion were detected by using TUNEL and Nissl staining. RESULTS: The threshold voltage of CA1 region in evoking population spike increased markedly as compared with sham control. The enhancement of wave amplitude was reduced significantly after tetanic stimulation. The duration of enhancement in amplitude decreased with the passage of reperfusion. Above all were observed from 8 h after ischemia/reperfusion. They became remarkable and got to its top at 7 day after ischemia/reperfusion treatment. TUNEL positive cells were observed in hippocampal CA1 region at 8 h, got to the top at 24 h and then gradually reduced after ischemia/reperfusion. A lot of abnormal cells in CA1 region was found, and the number of pyramidal cell reduced progressively by Nissl staining after ischemia/reperfusion. Chinese herbs 9602 reduced the threshold voltage of CA1 region in evoking population spike remarkably, enhanced the wave amplitude and prolonged the duration of PS enhancement; decreased the number of TUNEL positive cell, prevented the reduction of pyramidal cell in CA1 region. CONCLUSIONS: The excitability and reactivity were decreased and there was a gradual functional disturbance of synaptic transmission in CA1 pyramidal cell and most notable changes happened at 7 d ischemia/reperfusion, suggesting that was partly due to delayed neuronal death induced by ischemia/reperfusion. Apoptosis plays an important role in the functional deficiency of CA1 region of hippocampus induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. The effects of 9602 on ameliorating the excitability and reactivity of CA1 pyramidal cells relate to inhibiting apoptosis, attanuating delayed neuron death induced by ischemia/reperfusion.
