Expression of Calbindin-D28K in Ethanol-Induced Brain Damage in Rats Cerebellum and Effect of Anisodamine on It / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To investigate the effect of anisodamine on calbindin-D28K(CaBP) expression in the ethanol-induced brain damage in rat cerebellum.Methods2 months aged male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected intraperitoeally with ethanol,normal saline,saline+anisodamine and ethanol+anisodamine respectively for 8 d.They were evaluated with Morris water maze.The counts,average area and density of CaBP positive neurons in cerebellum were measured with immunohistochemical technique and image analytical system.Results The latency of Morris water maze was significantly longer in the ethanol group than in the others(P<0.05),while the distance was significantly longer in the ethanol group than in the saline group and saline+anisodamine group(P<0.05).There is not significant difference between ethanol group and ethanol+anisodamine group(P>0.05),but is seemed some longer.The counts,average area and density of CaBP positive Purkinje cell were all significantly less in ethanol group than in the others(P<0.05).There Pwas not significant difference among ethanol+anisodamine group,saline group and saline+anisodamine group(P>0.05) in the counts,but the average areas and density in ethanol+anisodamine group were less than those in saline group and saline+anisodomine group(P<0.05).Conclusion The ethanol can reduce the CaBP expression in the Purkinje cells of the rats cerebellum.Anisodamine can protect the rats cerebellum from it.
