OBJECTIVE:To observe the protective effect of naloxone on ischemical reperfusion injury in rat brain. METHODS: 36 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=12): normal control group,model control group (normal saline) and naloxone group (naloxone 0.4 mg?kg-1). The model control group and the naloxone group were established into ischemical reperfusion injury model by a drain method of carotid artery. The naloxone was administered at the beginning of ischemia and reperfusion,respectively. At 120 min of reperfusion,the neuron morphous was observed under light microscope and electronic microscope,respectively,the width of the bright bands of the area surrounding neuron and blood vessels and the average density and gray scale value of Bax mRNA positive cells were detected. RESULTS: In naloxone group compared with model control group,the cellular morphous of the neurons was more integrated,the bright bands of the area surrounding neuron and blood vessels were narrower,the average density was lower while the gray scale value was higher for Bax mRNA positive cells and the expression of which was attenuated. CONCLUSION: The protective effect of naloxone on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rat might be associated to the down-regulation of Bax mRNA expression of apoptotic cells.

Objective To explore the role of Bc1\|2,Bc1\|x1 and Bax during the process of Ginsenoside Rg1 protecting against apoptosis of substantia nigra neurons in Parkinson disease(PD) mouse model. Methods C57BL mice were administrated i.p. with MPTP to produce PD mouse model.And different doses of Rg1(2 5,5 0,10 0?mg/kg) were given i.p. prior 3 days to MPTP in preventive groups.Nissl staining,tyrosine hydroxythase(TH) immunostaining and TUNEL staining were used to observe the changes of nigra neurons.Bc1\|2,Bc1\|x1 and Bax immunostaining were used to detect the expression of these proteins. Results Pretreatment with Rg1(5 0,10 0?mg/kg) could prevent the loss of Nissl staining neurons and TH\|positive neurons,and decrease TUNEL\|staining ratio.Rg1 could enhance the expression level of Bc1\|2 and Bc1\|x1,and reduce the expression level of Bax. Conclusion\ Rg1 has protective effect on apoptosis of substantia nigra neurons in PD mouse model.The increased expression level of Bc1\|2 and Bc1\|x1,and the decreased expression level of Bax may be the important mechanism during Rg1 protection against apoptosis.
