摘要:
Objective Brain -derived neurophic factor ( BDNF) has played an important role in the repair of cauda equina Injury.The aim of this article was to observe the influences of Miao medicine Sheng Xian Decoction on structural change and BDNF protein expression in the sacral spinal cord of rats with cauda equina injury . Methods The rat model of cauda equina injury was es-tablished by using nerve clamping .Rats were randomly divided into the following groups:normal group , control group , Miao medicine group and mecobalamin group , 15 rats in each group .According to the death time after modeling , the rats in each group were subdivi-ded into 1d group, 7d group and 14d group, 5 in each subgroup.The nerve function recovery of rats in every group was observed through Basso , Beattie & Bresnahan locomotor rating score ( BBB score ) .The structural change of sacral spinal cord was observed(11.40 ±1.14) and the mecobalamin group (11.40 ±0.89) (P>0.05).On the 7th, 14th day after modeling, the scores of the Miao medicine group (17.0 ±1.00, 19.60 ±0.55) and the mecobalamin group (16.2 ±0.84, 18.80 ±0.84) were much higher than the control group (14.00 ±0.70, 16.40 ±0.55) (P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the Miao medicine group and the mecobalamin group (P>0.05).The scores of the control group , the Miao medicine group and the mecobalamin group showed an increasing tendency with time, and the difference of scores among the groups are of statistical significance (P<0.05).HE staining:Compared with the normal group , the spinal cord structure of the control group was damaged and glial cell proliferation increased signif -icantly.Compared with the control group , rats in the Miao medicine group and the mecobalamin group were lightly damaged in spinal cord and got improvement in the glial cell proliferation as well as an increase in the number of normal neurons .Immunohistochemistry staining:On the 1st day after modeling, the MOD values of the control group (0.152 ±0.007) , the Miao medicine group (0.156 ± 0.008) and the mecobalamin group (0.162 ±0.008) were much higher than that of the normal group (0.130 ±0.006), and the difference was of significant difference (P<0.05).Moreover,the MOD value of the mecobalamin group was much higher than those of the control group and the Miao medicine group , which was of significant difference (P<0.05); there was no statistical significance between the control group and the Miao medicine group (P>0.05).On the 7th and 14th day after modeling, the MOD values of the Miao medicine group (0.205 ±0.009, 0.183 ±0.008) and the mecobalamin group (0.217 ±0.033, 0.187 ±0.007) were much higher than that of the control group (0.181 ±0.007, 0.161 ±0.014), which was of significant difference (P<0.05).There was no statistical significance between the values of Miao medicine group and the mecobalamin group (P>0.05).The MOD values of the control group , the Miao medicine group and the mecobalamin group showed a tendency of increase followed by decrease with time .The MOD values of 3 subgroups in the Miao medicine group and the mecobalamin group had no statistical significance (P>0.05).The MOD value of 14d subgroup was much lower than 7d subgroup in the control group (P<0.05), however, compared with 1d subgroup in the control group, there was no significant difference (P>0.05).There was no significant difference among the MOD value of 3 subgroups in the normal group (0.130 ±0.006, 0.130 ±0.006, 0.130 ±0.008) (P>0.05). Conclusion Miao medicine Sheng Xian Decoction can promote neuron survival and improve nerve functions through increasing the BDNF expression in the sacral spinal cord of rats with cauda equina injury .
