RESUMO
@#Objective To explore the effect of cerebellar fastigial nucleus stimulation (FNS) on the expression of Nestin in adult Wistar rat brain after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.MethodsThe animal model of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion was made by filament occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery. 180 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: normal control group (NC group), sham operation control group (SC group), ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R group), ischemia/reperfusion treated with sham FNS group (I/RFs group), and ischemia/reperfusion treated with FNS group (I/RF group), each group contain 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, 14 d, 21 d and 28 d six time points (for each point, n=6). Immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the number of Nestin expression positive cells following various time and interference in lateral cerebral ventriculus and hippocampus in adult Wistar rat brain.ResultsAfter focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, the number of Nestin positive cells increased at each time point, reached small peak value in 7th d ( P<0.01). After treated with FNS, the number of Nestin positive cells increased more strikingly at each time point ( P<0.05, P<0.01), reached higher peak value in 7th d ( P<0.01), and maintained at higher level in 14th d. Furthermore, the shape of Nestin positive cells changed significantly.ConclusionFNS can increase the number of Nestin positive cells in some brain regions after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the effects of electrical stimulation of the cerebellum′s fastigial nucleus on neurogenic autonomic functional disturbances in rats after ischemic stroke. Methods Right middle cerebral artery occlusions (MCAOs) were performed on rats and their heart rate variability (HRV) was analysed. The MCAO rats were randomly divided into a group whose cerebellar fastigial nuclei (FNS) were stimulated and a control group. The power spectrum components and chaos of their heart rate variability were analysed. The MCAOs were performed after two cerebellar fastigial nuclei had been destroyed by pretreatment with ibotenic acid (IBO), to investigate the effect of stimulating the cerebellum′s fastigial nucleus on heart rate variability. Results The power spectral components and chaos in the heart rate variability of the MCAO rats were reduced, and there was a significant difference in the effectiveness rate compared with the sham groups (P
RESUMO
Objective To design an electrostimulator for cerebellar fastigial nucleus stimulus, which is controlled with singlechip system and using EEG(Electroencephalogram)to modulate amplitude of the carrier wave. Methods The EEG with instrumentation amplifier of high CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) and some filters are collected. The electric insulation is achieved by using linear optocouplers on the parts of input and output. Results The stimulator can solve the problem of adaptability for wave to simulate the body, and is safe, non -invasive, and of obvious therapy for ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Conclusion The cerebellar fastigial nucleus stimulus can cure ischemic cerebrovascular disease obviously, and the modulation with EEG can solve the problem of adaptability for wave to simulate the body.
