摘要:
Objective: To observe the protective effect of acupuncture plus mild hypothermia on brain tissues in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI), and the influence on protein expression levels of phosphorylated Raf-1, MEK-2 and ERK1/2 in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) pathway, and to explore the mechanism of acupuncture plus mild hypothermia therapy for the ischemic stroke. Methods: Ninety Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a blank control group, a sham operation group, a model group, an acupuncture group, a mild hypothermia group and an acupuncture plus mild hypothermia group, 15 rats in each group. Except the rats in the blank control group, the remaining rats were used to prepare the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) models according to the modified occlusion method using lines, while only the occlusion lines were inserted without blocking the brain arteries of rats in the sham operation group. When the vital signs of rats were stable, rats in the blank control group did not receive any intervention; rats in the sham operation group and the model group received fastening without treatment; rats in the acupuncture group, the mild hypothermia group, and the acupuncture plus mild hypothermia group were treated with the corresponding therapeutic methods. 72 h later, observed neurologic injury score, evaluated infarction area ratio by 2,3,5-tripheyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, determined apoptosis by TUNEL assay, and measured the phosphorylated Raf-1, MEK-2 and ERK1/2 protein expression levels in rat ischemic hippocampal tissues by Western blot assay. Results: Compared with the blank control group and the sham operation group, after modeling, the neurologic injury score, infarction area ratio and apoptotic cells were increased, and phosphorylated Raf-1, MEK-2 and ERK1/2 protein expression levels were significantly increased in the model group; the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, after acupuncture or mild hypothermia therapy, neurologic injury score and infarction area ratio were decreased; apoptotic cells and phosphorylated Raf-1, MEK-2 and ERK1/2 protein expression levels were significantly decreased; the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the acupuncture group, neurologic injury score and phosphorylated Raf-1, MEK-2 and ERK1/2 protein expression levels were decreased in the acupuncture plus mild hypothermia group; differences between the groups were statistically significant (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the mild hypothermia group, phosphorylated Raf-1, MEK-2 and ERK1/2 protein expression levels decreased in the acupuncture plus mild hypothermia group, and differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: Acupuncture or mild hypothermia therapy can improve neurologic injury, reduce infarction area and apoptosis, which brought about protective effect on the brain tissues, in the MCAO model. The protective effect of acupuncture plus mild hypothermia group is the strongest. The mechanism may involve the MAPK/ERK pathway, by reducing the phosphorylated Raf-1, MEK-2 and ERK1/2 protein expression levels.
摘要:
目的:观察电针对糖尿病胃轻瘫(DGP)大鼠血清胰岛素(INS)水平和胃窦组织胆囊收缩素(CCK)含量的影响。方法将60只SD大鼠随机分为A组、B组、C组、D组和E组,每组12只。A组为正常对照组,B组、C组、D组和E组采用腹腔一次性注射2%链脲佐菌素(STZ)配合高糖高脂不规则饮食建立DGP模型。B组为模型组,不接受治疗;C组采用电针足三里、三阴交和梁门治疗;D 组采用电针足三里、三阴交和梁门的对照点治疗;E 组采用甲氧氯普胺片(胃复安)药液灌胃治疗。采用OneTouch 血糖仪测血糖,尿糖试纸测尿糖,酚红灌胃法测胃排空率和肠移行率,并采用 ELISA 法检测各组大鼠治疗前后血清INS水平和胃窦组织CCK的含量。结果 B组、C组、D组和E组大鼠血糖值及尿糖值与A组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。C组大鼠血糖值及尿糖值与B组和E组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。B组、C组、D组和E组大鼠胃排空率与 A 组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。C 组大鼠胃排空率与 B 组和 D 组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.01,P<0.05)。B组和D组大鼠肠移行率与A组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。C组大鼠肠移行率与B组和D组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。B组大鼠血清INS水平及胃窦组织CCK含量与A组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05,P<0.01)。D组大鼠胃窦组织CCK含量与A组比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01)。C组和E组大鼠血清INS水平及胃窦组织CCK含量与B组比较,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05,P<0.01)。C组大鼠胃窦组织CCK含量与D组比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论电针能明显改善DGP大鼠的胃肠功能症状,促进胃排空,其疗效可能与电针刺激能提高血清INS水平,同时降低胃窦组织CCK含量有关。
