Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effects of different duration of exercise preconditioning on changes in cerebral blood flow and microglia activation related proteins in rats with vascular dementia. Method:Sixty SPF SD male rats were used to prepare vascular dementia rat models by permanent ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries.They were randomly divided into the model group,sham-operated group,ex-ercise preconditioning 4-week model group,exercise preconditioning 4-week sham-operated group,exercise pre-conditioning 2-week model group and exercise preconditioning 2-week sham-operated group,with 10 rats in each group.The exercise preconditioning 4-week rats received 30 minutes of moderate intensity non-weight-bear-ing swimming training 5 times a week for 4 weeks before modeling,while the exercise preconditioning 2-week rats received the same training for 2 weeks.Morris water maze was used to detect the spatial learning and memory ability of rats,laser speckle imaging technique was used to observe the changes of cerebral blood flow and the opening of collateral circulation of rats at different time point before and after the model-ing,and Western Blotting was used to detect the expression of TLR4 and Iba 1 protein in hippocampus. Result:Compared with the sham-operated group and the exercise preconditioning 2-week sham-operated group,the average escape latency time of rats in the exercise preconditioning 4-week sham-operated group,the model group,the exercise preconditioning 4-week model group and the exercise preconditioning 2-week model group was significantly prolonged(P＜0.05).Compared with the exercise preconditioning 4-week sham-operated group,the average escape latency time of rats in the model group and the exercise preconditioning 4-week model group was significantly prolonged(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group and exercise preconditioning 4-week model group,the average escape latency time of rats in exercise preconditioning 2-week model group was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The simple effect of repetitive measurement deviation analysis suggested that the average cerebral blood flow before modeling,2h after modeling,3d after modeling and 7d after model-ing was statistically significant between the groups(P＜0.05).The simple effect of time factor on average cere-bral blood flow of the model group,the exercise preconditioning 4-week model group and the exercise precon-ditioning 2-week model group was statistically significant(P＜0.01).The opening of collateral circulation of rats in each group was observed.Compared with the model group,less reduction in microvessel diameter was ob-served in the exercise preconditioning 2-week model group(P＜0.05).Compared with the sham-operated group,the exercise preconditioning 4-week sham-operated group and the exercise preconditioning 2-week sham-operat-ed group,Ibal and TLR4 protein expressions in the model group were significantly increased(P＜0.01).Com-pared with the model group,Ibal and TLR4 protein expressions in the exercise preconditioning 2-week model group were decreased(P＜0.05). Conclusion:Moderate intensity exercise preconditioning for 2 weeks can improve the learning and memory abili-ty of vascular dementia rats,but exercise preconditioning for 4 weeks has no obvious effect on the improve-ment of learning and memory ability.The mechanism may be related to the improvement of cerebral blood flow status and the inhibition of microglia activation.
