Objective To investigate whether functional electrical stimulation (FES) can improve the expression of proteins in the NMDAR1-pGLuR1 pathway so as to promote the recovery of motor function and sensation after stroke.Methods Eighty-one Wistar rats were used to make a photochemical brain model of local ischemia.Rats were randomly assigned into a sham, placebo stimulation or FES group.Rats in the placebo and FES groups had local ischemia induced in the M1 zone of the brain using the photosensitive dye Bengal rose.It was administered intravenously and a laser beam was then stereotactically positioned on the skull.The rats in the FES groups were stimulated for 30 minutes (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off, then 10 minutes on).The placebo group's treatment was similar, but without the electric current.The rats in the sham group received no intervention.The cylinder test and the adhesive-removal test were used to test the rats' motor function and sensation before the operation and before they were sacrificed.Cohorts were sacrificed after 3, 7 and 14 days of intervention.NMDA receptor and AMPA receptor were detected in the peri-ischemic cortex using western blotting.Results After 7 and 14 days the index of forelimb motor function in the cylinder test of the FES group was significantly better than that of the placebo group.The average adhesive-removal time of the FES group was also significantly faster compared with the placebo group.After 7 days the average expression of NMDAR1 in the FES group was significantly higher than in the placebo group.The average expression of GluR1 and pGluR1 in the FES group was significantly higher than in the placebo group after 14 days.Conclusion Functional electrical stimulation can improve motor function after ischemia through the NMDARAMPAR signal pathway, at least in rats.

Abstract: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) polysaccharides are active polysaccharides extracted from Chinese herbal medicines, many of which exhibit specific biological activities. Modern research has revealed that polysaccharide components extracted from plants, animals, and algae have a significant role in improving kidney injury. Currently, drug therapy is the primary treatment for kidney injury, with few reports on the use of TCM polysaccharides. This review explores the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of TCM polysaccharides on diabetic nephropathy, nephritis, kidney stones, hypertension-induced kidney injury, chemical toxin-induced kidney injury, and drug-induced kidney injury. Additionally, it discusses the prospects for the development of TCM polysaccharides in this field to provide a reference for further research.
