ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of γ-aminobutyric acid ( GABA) and sertraline on the CABAA(α) receptor and GABAB receptor of hippocampus neuron in rats of depression induced by acute stress. Methods The cognitive function of male SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats was screened through Y-maze. Then rats were randomly divided into five groups. Except control group,rats were injected intraperitoneally with double-distilled, GABA,sertraline or GABA + sertraline respectively. They were exposed to the forced-swimming stress test,which was to make acute stress model of depression. The space memory function in the maze was measured. Then the number of GABA-like immunoreactive neurons in hippocampus CA1 ,CA3 ,DG areas of rats were investigated with immunohistochemist. Results Compared with the model group,the immobility time in the forced-swimming test and the latency in the maze could be reduced significantly after pretreatment with GABA and sertraline (P < 0.01). The positive cell populations of CA1 ,CA3 region and DG gate region in the model group were significantly reduced compared with the control group (P<0.01). GABA could only improve the positive cell populations of GABAB receptor in CA3 region (P<0.01). In the sertraline group,the positive cell populations in hippocampus were increased obviously more than it in model group(P<0.01). The positive cell populations of hippocampus in the GABA + sertraline group in CA1 ( (82.83±8.72),(78.08±5.67)),in CA3((92.83±9.35),(76.00±3.97)),in the gate of DG( (35.00 ±1.41) ,(33.33±4.36)) increased significantly to the other groups (P< 0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion Ectogenic GABA could improve the sertraline' s effects of antagonizing acute depression effectively and the space memory function,and its mechanism may be involved in strengthening the expression of GABAA(α) receptor and GABAB receptor in hippocampus.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of cognitive function and neuron morphous in hippocampus of the chronic stress depressed rats with gamma-aminobutyric acid and sertraline.Methods Using the chronic mild unpredictable stress to make the model of the chronic stress depressed rats.Sample group,sertraline group,GABA group and research group were gave by saline,sertraline,GABA,GABA and sertraline i.p.respectively for 21 days.Control group reeepted no any stress and drugs.Using open-field test and electric maze test to detect the behavior and memory function of the rats.Using Nissl staining to observe the pyramidal neuron morphous in CA1 and CA3 region of the hippocampus.Results After stress,the squares crossing,rears,grooming movement of the four groups accecepted stress were decreased compared with the control (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the squares crossing(respective for 57.25±18.79,39.00±13.69),rears(respective for 23.25±7.01,16.75±4.71),grooming movement(respective for 2.25±0.46,2.25±1.04),number of correct reaction (respective for 17.00±1.93,16.88±2.64) and latency time (respective for 172.88±26.91,206.00±33.54) of the research group and sertraline group were better than sample group(P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).GABA group showed no significant improvemerit except for the reduced latency time compared with the sample group(P＜ 0.05).Compared with the control,the morphous,numbers and alignment of pyramidal neuron in CA1 and CA3 in hippocampus of the sertraline group,GABA group and research group were improve with different level,all the better in research group.Conclusion GABA with sertraline can improve the cognitive function of the chronic stress depressed rats by protect the neuron in hippocampus.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and sertraline on the cognition functions in acute stressed rats.Methods Y-type maze were used to test the cognitive function of Male SD (Sprague-Dawley) rats.They were exposed to the forced-swimming stress test,which was to make acute stress model of depression.Except control group,rats were pretreated with different doses of GABA and/or sertraline,then the time of immobility in the forced-swimming test and latency in the maze were observed individual.Results Compared with the model group[(1404.33±129.46)s] ,GABA could decrease the immobility time obviously in the forced-swimming test [(432.33±187.64) s ＞ (332.50±217.23) s,P ＜ 0.01].Otherwise the immobility time was prolonged with 0.50 g/kg GABA + 10 mg/kg sertraline (1086.17±411.80) s (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control group(105.00±32.18)s,the latency in the maze was prolonged remarkably in the model group (179.17±8.54) s(P＜ 0.05).Pretreatment with 10 mg/kg sertraline(100.30±21.01) s or GABA and sertraline groups (69.83±16.89) s,(86.83±13.11) s (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01) could decrease the latency.Conclusion GABA could play its role of antagonizing acute depression.Meanwhile,pretreatment with appropriate doses of GABA and sertraline not ordy could decrease doses of two drugs but also improve the cognitive function in the acute stress rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the feature and general trend of the contingent negative variation (CNV) in the aged with memory impairment (AMI) and dementia tendency in the course towards advanced dementia. Methods CNV in 69 AMI subjects (serving as the study group) and 22 healthy elderly subjects selected from well age matched (serving as the control group) were examined. Hasegawa's dementia scale for the aged (HDS) in all AMI were also examined. 2 3 years later, 22 from the study group were examined again. The wave forms and relevant indexes of CNV were observed and analyzed. Results Reaction time(RT)〔(284.3?170.6) ms vs (149.8?101.7) ms, P

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the protective effects of Acanthopanax senticousus saponins (ASS) on ischemia-hypoxia injury of cortical neuron. Methods The models of cortical neuron damage induced by hypoxia-ischemia (HI) and glutamate (Glu) were established on cultured embryonic cortical neurons. The neurons were randomly divided into HI group, Glu group, ASS group and control group. ASS (50 mg/L) was added into the ASS group before and during neuron damage. The rate of neuronal apoptosis was measured by flow cytometer, nitric oxide (NO) content was determined by Nitrate reductive assay and neuron survival was measured by MTT assay and the release of LDH. Morphologic change of neurons was observed under electron microscopy.Results (1) The cortical neuron survival decreased time-dependently in HI group and reached peak at 8h after hypoxia-ischemia. Glutamate leaded the cortical neuron survival decreasing time-dependently. (2) Compared with the control group, the cortical neuron survival decreased in HI group and Glu group, but the neuron apoptosis, the release of LDH and NO contents increased significantly (all P
