Objective:To explore the effect of abdominal massage on the behavior of rats with neonatal hypoxia-ischemia and its mechanism.Methods:7-day-old SD rats were made as the HIBD model by the classical method of RICE and then the HIBD model rats were divided into the abdominal massage group and model group according to the random number table method, with 12 rats in each group, and 12 rats were selected as the normal group. The abdominal massage group was given abdominal massage 24 hours after the modeling, and the intervention continued for 28 days. Rats in each group underwent a balance beam test on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th day of the intervention. After the intervention, HE staining was applied to observe the morphological structure of the hippocampal CA1 region of the rats; Quantitative Real-time PCR method was used to measure the serotonin receptor (5-HTR1A) in the hippocampus. The expression of cAMP, PKA and CREB in the hippocampus were measured by immunohistochemistry, and the expression of SYP protein was measured by Western blotting.Results:After the intervention, the cells in the hippocampal CA1 area of the model group were diffusely distributed, the number of neurons reduced, and the condition of inflammatory edema appeared; the cells in hippocampal CA1 area of the abdominal massage group were arranged clearly, and the condition of inflammatory edema has significantly improved; on the 21st and 28th day of the intervention, the balance beam test scores in the abdominal massage group significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the relative expression of 5-HTR1A mRNA (1.18±0.08 vs. 0.77±0.04) in the abdominal massage group significantly increased ( P<0.05). The expression of cAMP (0.32±0.02 vs. 0.31±0.01), PKA (0.32±0.02 vs. 0.29±0.01),CREB (0.31±0.02 vs. 0.28±0.01) and SYP in the abdominal massage group significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Abdominal massage could improve the behavior of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic rats, which may play a role on nerve repair by regulating 5-HTR1A/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the value of DTI quantitative parameters in evaluating neurological function changes of acute traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI)in rat models.Methods The modified Allen's dropping weight technique was used to establish TSCI rat models.Then the rats were divided into mild injury group,moderate injury group and severe injury group (each n=10).DTI examination and Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score were performed pre-TSCI and 0 h,6 h,24 h,3 day,7 day and 14 day post-TSCI,respectively.The BBB scores and DTI parameters,including FA,mean apparent diffusivity (MD),radial diffusivity (RD) and axial diffusivity (AD) were measured and compared among groups.The correlation between BBB scores and the parameters was evaluated.Results The differences of FA,MD and RD value were statistically significant among varying injury degree groups and different time points after TSCI (all P<0.05).AD value had statistical difference among different time points (F=12.720,P<0.001),whereas no difference was found among varying injury degree groups (F=0.469,P=0.630).FA and MD values decreased while RD increased 0 h post-TSCI.Then RD and MD increased continuously,whereas FA decreased continuously until 24 h post TSCI (all P<0.05),and the parameters kept stable after 24 h post-TSCI (all P> 0.05).The BBB scores were lowest on 0 h post-TSCI,then maintained increasing (all P<0.05).In addition,the BBB scores and MD values had good correlation (r=0.958,P< 0.01).Conclusion DTI can quantitatively evaluate function changes of TSCI in rat models.Moreover,treatment within 24 h post-TSCI might be recommended for TSCI therapy.
