To illustrate the location of HSP-70 (heat\|shock protein\|70)correlative response in acute stage between middle and inner ear when mammalian middle ear infected by bacteria, and investigate the possibility to cause autoimmune inner ear injure by HSP-70 that induced by otitis media. An animal model of acute otitis media was established by inoculating Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.p) into middle ear of guinea pigs. Animals were sacrificed 1,3,5 and 7days after inoculation.Investigation of the locations of HSP-70 in middle ear mucosa and cochlea structures were detected by immunocytochemical technique .The results showed that light stain of HSP-70 existed in the superficial epithelium cells of normal mucosa and cochlea structures such as stria vascularis, spiral ligament and Corti′s organ.Heavy stain appeared in the same sites in the infected ears . No different positive sites was observed in all animals.Our findings suggested that HSP-70 were expressed in middle ear mucosa and inner ear structures during acute middle ear infective stage.The HSP-70 provide a material base for causing autoimmune inner ear injure during middle ear bacteria infection.

BACKGROUND: Amfetamine, one of the levarterenols, can improve the recovery of motor function of animals after cerebral ischemia. Chlorimipramine can inhibit the re-intake of 5-serotonin and levarterenol and improve the level of them in brain. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of chlorimipramine on motor function of rats with focal cerebral ischemic injury.DESIGN: Randomized grouping and controlled animal study. SETTING: Neuropsychiatry Team of Aerial Clinical Medical Department of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Morphological Laboratory of Aerial Aerospace Medical Department of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. All the 24 SD rats were divided into sham operation group, ischemia group and ischemic medication group with 8 in each group. Rats in ischemic medication group were perfused with 10 mg/kg chlorimipramine solution (2.5 g/L) once a day through mouth 24 hours after ischemia, and rats in sham operation group and ischemia group were perfused with the same volume of distilled water through mouth. METHODS: Middle cerebral artery (MCA) models of ischemia/reperfusion rats were established with inserted lining method. After modeling, the operations were performed as followed: ① holding test of net screen: Net screen was put horizontally, and then rats were put on it. One side of the screen was raised gradually; then it was turned over 125° within 2 s, and maintained at this placement. Time of holding rats on net screen was recorded. ② Test of struggling to tear off rubberized cloth: 0.5 cm2 medical rubberized cloth was adhered to the ventral of anterior claws of rats, and then rats were sent to the observing box to record the time of tearing off rubberized cloth. 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after operation were the observing time points. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Times of holding rats on the net screen and tearing off the rubberized cloth of rats with focal cerebral is chemia.RESULTS: ① Time of muscular strength test of rats in ischemia group and ischemic medication group was shorter than that of rats in sham operation group, and there was significant difference [3 days after operation:(54±4), (20±5) and (21±4) s in sham operation group, ischemia group and ischemic medication group respectively, P < 0.01]. Holding time was longer in ischemic medication group than that in ischemia group, and there was significant difference [28 days after operation: (51±5) and (54±5) s in ischemia group and ischemic medication group respectively, P < 0.05]. ②Time of tearing off the rubberized cloth was longer in ischemia group and ischemic medication group than that in sham operation group, and there was significant difference [3 days after operation: (47±9), (188±20) and (172±22) s in sham operation group, ischemia group and ischemic medication group respectively, P < 0.01]. The time in ischemic medication group was shorter than that in ischemia group, and there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Chlorimipramine has great effect on the recovery of muscular strength after focal cerebral ischemia, but has poor effect on sense and refined motor function, which is in coincidence with the poor recovery of refined motor function of limbs after hemiplegia.
