BACKGROUND:In vitro cultured nerve cells induced by neurotoxic amyliod βprotein(Aβ) fragments exhibit pathological changes similar to those seen in Alzheimer disease(AD).This study examines the effect of kidney tonifying traditional Chinese medicine in alleviating the pathological lesions in AD. OBJECTIVE:To assess the effect of bushen yizhi fang,a traditional Chinese medicinal formula,on the growth behavior and morphology of neurotoxic Aβ treated NG108 15 cells as an AD model. DESIGN:Completely randomized and controlled experimental study. SETTING and MATERILAS:The experiment was conducted in the Institute of Neuroscience,Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Sixty Wistar rats,3 months old and weighing 200 g to 250 g,were purchased from the Experimental Animal Center of First Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. INTERVENTIONS and MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The rats were randomized into control and treatment group,with 30 rats in each and totally gender balanced.The rats in the latter group were given gastric infusion of the extract of bushen yizhi fang for a month before their blood was collected for preparing the drug containing serum.Changes of Aβ induced NG108 15 cells,such as the viability rate, morphology and cell cycle,were assessed by cell counting,MTT assay and flow cytometry, respectively,after treatment of the cells with the prepared rat serum. RESULTS:The viability rate and number of cell processes of Aβ induced NG108 15 cells were increased after treatment with drug containing serum.Cell cycle analysis indicated an increased in S phase cell number after the treatment. CONCLUSION:Bushen yizhi fang may alleviate the neurotoxicity of Aβsegments in the nerve cells,and therefore produces therapeutic effect on AD by inhibiting the pathological progression. 背景:在体外培养的神经细胞培养液中加入具有神经毒性的淀粉样蛋白(amyliodprotein,Aβ)片段可诱导产生阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer'sdis-ease,AD)相似的病理损害,补肾药是否改善其病理损害是本研究探讨的问题。目的:观察补肾益智方对由Aβ片段毒性诱导的NG108-15细胞老年性痴呆模型作用的影响。设计:完全随机对照实验研究。地点和材料:研究地点为广西中医学院第二附属医院神经科学研究所,材料为健康三月龄Wista大鼠60只,体质量200~250g,购自第一军医大学动物实验室。干预与主要观察指标:将Wista大鼠随机分为对照组、治疗组,每组30只,雄雌各半。利用细胞计数、MTT及流式细胞仪测定等方法观察补肾益智方含药血清处理由Aβ片段毒性诱导的NG108-15细胞的存活率、形学改变及细胞周期的改变。结果:补肾益智方含药血清能增加Aβ片段毒性诱导的NG108-15细胞存活率和细胞突起;细胞增殖周期分析显示,含药血清能增加S期细胞数。结论:补肾益智方具有减轻细胞对Aβ的神经毒性反应,表明该方在通过拮抗AD的病理发展而发挥对AD的治疗作用。 BACKGROUND:Stellate ganglion block(SGB) is commonly used in pain therapy.However,the mechanisms of SGB in pain treatment are not well understood.

BACKGROUND:Stellate ganglion block(SGB) is commonly used in pain therapy.However,the mechanisms of SGB in pain treatment are not well understood. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of SGB on the concentration of serum cortisol and β endorphin of inflammatory tissue in rabbits with formalin induced pain. DESIGN:A randomized controlled experiment was conducted. SETTING and PARTICIPANTS:The experiment was performed in the Research Institute of Neuroscience,Taihe Hospital of Yunyang Medical College.Sixteen healthy rabbits were randomly assigned into two groups of 8 each:SGB group and control group. INTERVENTIONS:A catheter was inserted close to the right stellate ganglion in each rabbit operatively.All of the rabbits received 0.5 mL formalin(80 g/L) stimulation by intraplantar injection into the right front paws.Ten minutes before stimulation,0.5 mL of 2.5 g/L bupivacaine was administered via the catheter in SGB group,while 0.5 mL of normal saline was applied in the control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Serum cortisol at 10 minutes before stimulation,10,60 and 120 minutes after stimulation,and β endorphin of inflammatory tissue at 120 minutes after stimulation were measured by radioimmunological method. RESULTS:The concentration of serum cortisol increased significantly after pain stimulation at all time points compared with that before pain stimulation,and reached its peak concentration after 60 minutes in control group[(462.3±88.5) nmol/L](P< 0.01),while the concentration did not change significantly at all time points in SGB group(P >0.05).There were significant differences between SGB group and control group at 10 minutes[(146.3±54.8),(186.5±45.8) nmol/L,P< 0.05],60 minutes[(138.4±32.5),(462.3±88.5)nmol/L,P< 0.01]and 120 minutes[(140.9±55.6),(321.4±65.3) nmol/L,P< 0.01] after stimulation,but no difference at 10 minutes before stimulation[(130.2±31.7),(128.6±35.4) nmol/L,P >0.05].The β endorphin concentration of inflammatory tissue was significantly higher in SGB group[(1 675±343) pg/g]than thatin control group[(418±56) pg/g](P< 0.01) at 120 minutes after stimulation. CONCLUSION:SGB can inhibit the upregulation of serum cortisol in rabbits with formalin stimulation,and increase β endorphin concentration of inflammatory tissue. 背景:星状神经节阻滞stellateganglionblock,SGB)在疼痛治疗中较为(常用,但其治疗疼痛的机制尚不十分清楚。目的:研究星状神经节阻滞对甲醛炎症痛家兔血清皮质醇和炎症局部β-内啡肽含量的影响。设计:随机对照的实验研究。地点和对象:在郧阳医学院附属太和医院神经科学研究所进行实验,选择健康家兔组和对照组,各只。16只,随机分为SGB8干预:用手术法在所有动物星状神经节处置入一导管。两组动物均用80g/L甲醛溶液0.5mL在右前肢足底皮下注射致痛,致痛前10minSGB组经预置导管注入2.5g/L布比卡因0.5mL,对照组注入等量生理盐水。主要观察指标:用放免法测定致痛前10min、致痛后10,60和120min血清皮质醇及致痛120min炎症局部β-内啡肽含量。结果:致痛后对照组血清皮质醇在各时点均较致痛前升高,且在致痛后60min时达高峰犤(462.3±88.5)nmol/L犦,而SGB组各时点较致痛前犤(130.2±31.7)ol/L犦无明显差异;SGBnm组和对照组相比,致痛前10min时无差异,而在致痛后10min犤(146.3±54.8)186.5±45.8)nmol/L,,(t=2.... 背景:星状神经节阻滞stellateganglionblock,SGB)在疼痛治疗中较为(常用,但其治疗疼痛的机制尚不十分清楚。目的:研究星状神经节阻滞对甲醛炎症痛家兔血清皮质醇和炎症局部β-内啡肽含量的影响。设计:随机对照的实验研究。地点和对象:在郧阳医学院附属太和医院神经科学研究所进行实验,选择健康家兔组和对照组,各只。16只,随机分为SGB8干预:用手术法在所有动物星状神经节处置入一导管。两组动物均用80g/L甲醛溶液0.5mL在右前肢足底皮下注射致痛,致痛前10minSGB组经预置导管注入2.5g/L布比卡因0.5mL,对照组注入等量生理盐水。主要观察指标:用放免法测定致痛前10min、致痛后10,60和120min血清皮质醇及致痛120min炎症局部β-内啡肽含量。结果:致痛后对照组血清皮质醇在各时点均较致痛前升高,且在致痛后60min时达高峰犤(462.3±88.5)nmol/L犦,而SGB组各时点较致痛前犤(130.2±31.7)ol/L犦无明显差异;SGBnm组和对照组相比,致痛前10min时无差异,而在致痛后10min犤(146.3±54.8)186.5±45.8)nmol/L,,(t=2.482,P<0.05犦,致痛后60min犤(138.4±32.5)462.3±88.5)nmol/L,,(t=5.875,P<0.01犦和致痛后120min时犤(140.9±55.6),(321.4±65.3)nmol/L,t=4.183,P<0.01犦有明显差异。SG组B致痛后120min时炎症局部β-内啡肽 BACKGROUND:Increasing evidences have suggested that the immune system does not operate as a closed system,but interact with the central nervous system(CNS).However,the exact components of the CNS involved in immunomodulation have not been clearly identified.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the distribution of the neurons related to neuroimmunomodulation in rat brain. DESIGN:A randomized and controlled experiment SETTING:The experiment was completed in the Department of Neurosurgery,Zhujiang Hospital,First Military Medical University of Chinese PLA,and Institute of Neuroscience,Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA and the Department of Respiratory,Tangdu Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. MATERIALS:This experiment was carried out in the Department of Neurosurgery, Zhujiang Hospital ,First Military Medical University of Chinese PLA,and Institute of Neuroscience, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.Ten normal male adult SD rats of clean grade were purchased from the Experimental Animal Center of the Fourth Military Medical University. INTERVENTION:Rat models of immune challenge were produced by intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide(LPS) injection for observing the distribution of Fos protein with immunohistochemical ABC method. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The distribution of Fos protein in rat brain. RESULTS:Fos positivity was found mainly in the frontal parietal cortex, forebrain limbic system(cingulate cortex, piriform cortex,lateral septal nucleus and central amygdaloid nucleus),paraventricular thalamic nucleus,hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus, arcuate nucleus, supraoptic nucleus,suprachiasmatic nucleus,lateral hypothalamic area,lateral ventral part of periaqueducal gray,lateral parabrachial nucleus and medullary visceral zone.No distinct gathering of Fos proteins was found in the cerebellum. CONCLUSION:Fos positive neurons induced by LPS are extensively distributed in rat brain. 背景:越来越多的研究事实表明免疫系统不是一个仅有自主调节的孤立系统,而是与中枢神经系统之间存在双向联系的,但中枢神经系统哪些部位参与免疫调节仍是一个尚未解决的问题。目的:研究与神经免疫调节有关的功能神经元在大鼠脑内的分布。设计:随机对照的研究。单位:解放军第一军医大学珠江医院神经外科,解放军第四军医大学神经科学研究所和解放军第四军医大学唐都医院呼吸科。对象:实验在第一军医大学珠江医院神经外科和第四军医大学全军神经科学研究所完成。10只健康清洁级成年SD大鼠由第四军医大学实验动物中心提供。干预:以腹腔注射脂多糖(LPS)为免疫激发模型,采用免疫组织化学抗Fos蛋白ABC方法进行染色。主要观察指标:Fos蛋白在脑内不同区域内的分布。结果:Fos阳性产物多集中分布在大脑额顶皮质、边缘前脑(扣带皮质、梨状皮质、外侧隔核和中央杏仁核等)、丘脑室旁核、下丘脑室旁核、弓状核、视上核、视交叉上核、下丘脑外侧区、中脑导水管周围灰质腹外侧部、外侧臂旁核和延髓内脏带。小脑内无明显Fos分布密集区。结论:LPS诱发的Fos阳性神经元在脑内有相对广泛的分布。
