BACKGROUND: Tetramethylpyrazine has the protective effect against the central nervous system injury. The structural changes in Nissl bodies were regarded as a marker of neuron injury.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of tetramethylpyrazine on the structure and the quantity of Nissl bodies of cerebral neurons in rat with epilepsy.DESIGN: A comparative study.SETTING: It was conducted at the Physiological Department of Medical School of Xianning College.MATERIALS: From September 2004 to March 2005, it was completed at the Anatomy Department of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Forty healthy SD rats aging 3-4 months, weighing (250±50) g and regardless of their gender, were selected.METHODS: Rats underwent anesthesia and craniotomy. Then their cerebral cortex were exposed for placing BL-410 Experimental System of Biological Function (TME, China) to record the bilateral EEG of the brain and the seizure in rats with penicillin-induced epilepsy group and the 10 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group, 20 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group and 40 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group. In control groups, the brains of rats were taken out at 1 hour after craniotomy. In penicillin-induced epilepsy group, their brains were taken out at 1 hour after penicillin-induced epilepsy. In 10 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group, 20 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group and 40 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group, after stable penicillin-induced epilepsy, tetramethylpyrazine was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 10 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg, respectively.When the greatest protective effect of tetramethylpyrazine appeared, the rats' brains were taken out. Brain sections were sliced. Nissl bodies were stained by thionine staining. Under light microscope, structures of Nissl bodies were observed and the images of Nissl bodies were quantitatively analyzed by HPIAS-1000 high acuity color pathologic diagram-writing analyzing system. In each group, the average absorbency of 15 fields was regarded as the average absorbency of Nissl bodies in that group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: In all the groups, the structure and the quantity of Nissl bodies of cortical neurons in rats were studied.of the structure of Nissl bodies in external granular layer cells and external pyramidal layer cells. In control group, multi-layer blue-stained and clumplike or granule-like Nissl bodies could be observed. In penicillin-induced epilepsy group, Nissl bodies were completely resolved and disappeared. In 10 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group, Nissl bodies were partly or completely resolved. In 20 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group, the quantity of Nissl bodies was significantly increased as compared with those in penicillin-induced epilepsy group and the 10 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group. In 40 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group, the quantity and the structure of of the average absorbency of stained Nissl bodies in external granular layer cells and external pyramidal layer cells in rat cortex among all the groups.In penicillin-induced epilepsy group, the average absorbency were dramatically lower than that in control group (0.033±0.002, 0.756±0.035, t=4.93,P < 0.01). In 20 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group and 40 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group, the average absorbency were significantly higher than that in penicillin-induced epilepsy group (0.435±0.011, 0.658±0.029, t=2.98,5.32, P < 0.01). In 40 mg/kg tetramethylpyrazine group, the average absorbency were similar to that in control group (t=1.75, P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Tetramethylpyrazine can significantly elevated the concentration of Nissl bodies of neurons in rats with epilepsy. Changes in the structure and quantity of Nissl bodies of cerebral neurons may be closely associated with seizure, and tetramethylpyrazine can restore the structure and the quantity of Nissl bodies of neurons, regulate their functions and hereby, inhibit seizures.

This study examined the association of problem behavior with neurotransmitter deficiency in adolescents, which would provide new insights into behavioral problems. A total of 1259 students of the seventh grade from 4 middle schools in Wuhan city located in the central China were recruited. With the approval of school and parents, they were invited to complete the Youth Self-Report (YSR) questionnaire and Symptom Scale of Neurotransmitter Deficiency (SSND) questionnaire. Pearson's bivariate correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficients between each subscale of YSR and SSND ranged from 0.24 to 0.61 with all P<0.01. Canonical correlation analysis indicated that anxiety/depression was interrelated with insufficiency of GABA and 5-HT; aggressive behavior was associated with inadequate GABA; famine of DA influenced the attention problems. It was concluded that neurotransmitter deficiency may cause a series of behavioral and mental problems.

BACKGROUND: According to present theories and our clinical experience, immune ablative and tolerance inducing theory is proposed. Immune ablative means to clear out mutate cell clones and without transfusion of hemopoietic stem cells afterwards; intolerance inducing means to induce animal models not to react to mutate somatic cells, which avoids relapse or new occurrence of autoimmune disease. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of immune-ablative and tolerance inducing therapy in treating animal model of immune polymyositis (PM). DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized, controlled animal experiment was performed at the Animal Experimental Center of Nanfang Hospital from December 2008 to April 2009. MATERIALS: One New Zealand rabbit, female, weighing 4.1 kg and 36 England guinea pigs, female, weighing 400-500 g, were used. METHODS: New Zealand rabbit's muscle tissue homogenate and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) were injected into guinea pigs to make PM animal models. The 28 animal models were randomly divided into intense immune-ablative and tolerance inducing group (Busulfan 1 mg/kg, every 12 hours, totally 8 doses; followed by CTX 40 mg/kg per day for 4 days; then cyclosporine A (CsA) 3 mg/kg per day was given till animals were dead); cyclophosphamide (CTX) group: CTX was given, 10 mg/kg per day for 3days; immune-ablative and tolerance inducing group: Busulfan 0.8 mg/kg, CTX 30 mg/kg, CsA 3 mg/kg; the administration time and dose were the same as group 1. Control group was not treated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Full blood count (FBC) and biochemical index were tested before and after treatment, and surviving time was recorded. In addition, muscle pathological changes were observed.RESULTS: Compared with control group, number of white cells was significantly decreased in the other groups, and hematopoiesis function gradually restored after administration. The number of white cells in the immune-ablative and tolerance inducing group was the most, and striated muscle pathology showed PM. Following administration, the glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and creatine kinase of intense immune-ablative and tolerance inducing and immune-ablative and tolerance inducing groups were significantly reduced (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), but no obvious striated muscle pathological changes were found. The glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, lactic dehydrogenase and creatine kinase in the CTX and control groups remained unchanged. Survival time of intense immune-ablative and tolerance inducing group was the shortest among all groups, and there was no significant difference between CTX and control groups. The animals in immune-ablative and tolerance inducing group survived for the longest time. CONCLUSION: Immune-ablative and tolerance inducing therapy has preferable effect on treating animal models of PM, and its prognosis is better than intense immune-ablative and tolerance inducing therapy and regular CTX therapy.
