  • 简介:目的:探讨HSP60(热休克蛋白60)在大鼠急性青光眼模型视网膜组织中的表达及其与血清中相应抗体的关系。方法:将SD大鼠70只随机分为高眼压组60只,正常对照组10只。大鼠全身及表面麻醉后,将一盛有等渗的生理盐水的储容器相连的7号针头于3:00位的角膜缘处刺入前房,提升储容器的高度,使眼内压达到110mmHg,但不超过150mmHg,观察大鼠眼前段变白,且视网膜色白,未见红色反光时即为视网膜缺血,缺血1h后再灌注,并于再灌注后2,6,12,24,72,168h将大鼠麻醉过量致死,处死前测眼压,抽血2mL,供酶联免疫吸附测定使用,分析视网膜组织内HSP60抗原产生的血清中相应抗体水平。并立即取出眼球,同时对鼠眼视网膜组织进行石蜡切片,采用免疫组化法检测视网膜组织中HSP60的表达及分布情况,并对检测结果进行统计学分析。结果:急性高眼压诱导的视网膜缺血/再灌注组眼压明显升高,视网膜组织中的HSP60阳性表达率在术后各时间点,高眼压组与正常对照组比较,差异有统计学意义(F=97.21,40.72,83.85,95.82,48.63及44.37,均P〈0.01)。神经节细胞(retinalganglioncell,RGC)中HSP60阳性表达随着眼压升高及高眼压持续时间延长逐渐增强,且视网膜神经纤维层中也出现较明显的HSP60阳性表达。结论:HSP60表达增强可能在急性高眼压所致的视神经病变中具有重要作用。

  • 简介:目的探讨边缘系统兴奋对耳鸣状态下听觉传导主要核团下丘外核(extemalnucleusofinferiorcolliculus,ICx)放电的影响。方法采用细胞外记录方法,观察急性水杨酸(sodiumsalicylate,SA)耳鸣模型大鼠杏仁外侧核(lateralamygdaloidnucleus,LA)自发放电及电刺激LA后ICx自发放电活动和放电间隔直方图。结果1.SA模型大鼠LA神经元平均自发放电率较正常对照组增加(5.42±0.68Hzvs3.36±0.24Hz,P〈0.01)。2.电刺激LA2h后,正常对照组大鼠的ICx平均自发放电率较刺激前增加(7.90±0.85Hzvs3.21±0.41Hz,P〈0.01);0~50ms间隔放电脉冲比例由31.9%增加到55.1%。3.急性SA模型大鼠在电刺激LA前,ICx的平均自发放电率(7.63±0.70Hz)已高于正常对照组,其中0—6ms短间隔放电比例明显增加;刺激LA后2h内,ICx神经元平均自发放电率降低(5.66±1.05Hz)与电刺激前比有差异(P〈0.05),但较正常组刺激前,自发放电活动仍明显增加;0~20ms的ICx自发放电脉冲数比例明显下降(28.4%vs14.5%)。结论大剂量SA可引起LA和ICx神经元放电增加;SA引起的LA神经元兴奋可引起ICx兴奋程度的改变,耳鸣是否伴随情绪因素,有待进一步研究。
