Objective To observe the effect of early enriched environmental intervention on synaptic ultrastructure and the synaptophysin expression (p38) in hippocampal CA1 area after hypoxia-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) in neonatal rats. Methods The rat model of HIBD was made by the method of Rice in 20 Sprague-Dawley rats, and divided randomly into 2 groups: the intervention group, non-intervention group. Another 10 rats underwent sham-operation as control. From the second day after HIBD, the rats of the intervention group were kept in an enriched environment for 20 d, the rats of non-intervention group and sham-operation group were raised in standard enviroment instead. The hippocampal ultrastructure was observed with electron microscope and the p38 expression was detected immunohistochemically in all rats. Results The ultrastructure of hippocampus CA1 pyramidal neuron in the non-intervention group were distorted as compared with that in the intervention group and control group. The corrected optical densities (COD) of immunoreactive products of the hippocampal p38 were significantly decreased in non-intervention group as compared with intervention group and control group (P0.05). Conclusion Early enriched environment intervention could improve the synaptic reconstruction and reduce the ultrastructural damage induced by hypoxic-ischemia.

Objective To observe the effects of different environment stimulation on the nestin expression in hippocampus and the ability of learning and memory of rats after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods Rat HIBD models were established by the method of Rice in 45 SD rats, then randomly divided into three groups: standard environment stimulation group (SE), enriched environment stimulation group (EE), and impoverished environment stimulation group (IE). Another 15 rats only underwent sham-operation. Different environment intervention that was designed according to Puurunen and Bourgeon’s literatures was applied to the rats on day 2 after HIBD operation. On day 28, Morris water maze was used to evaluate the ability of learning and memory. Then the nestin expression in the hippocampus was measured by immunohistochemistry. Results The ability of learning and memory of IE group reduced and was much lower than that of sham-operation group, SE group and EE group, that of SE group was lower than that of sham-operation group and EE group, but no significant difference between sham-operation group and EE group. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that nestin expression in the hippocampus of EE group significantly increased as compared with that of other groups and that of SE group was stronger than that of sham-operation group and IE group. Conclusion The EE stimulation could increase the nestin expression in the hippocampus of neonatal rats with HIBD, enhance neuranagenesis, and improve the ability of learning and memory, while the IE stimulation could decrease the nestin expression, inhibit neuranagenesis, and impair the ability of learning and memory.

Objective To observe the effects of early enriched environment intervention on the expression of growth-associated protein-43(GAP-43) in the hippocampus of rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI). Methods After the establishment of HIBI model in SD rats by the method of Rice, the animals were divided randomly into 2 groups: the intervention group and non-intervention group. The sham-operation rats were used as control group. Enriched environment intervention had been administrated to the rats of intervention group since the 2nd day after HIBI. On the 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were used to measure the expressions of GAP-43 protein and mRNA in the hippocampus of rats. Results The expression of GAP-43 protein and mRNA in the rat hippocampus were increased in the non-intervention group than in the control group(P

Objective To observe the effects of environmental stimulation at different stages of development on postnatal rats with hypoxia-ischemic brain injury (HIBI). Methods HIBI postnatal SD rats models were established by dissecting and ligating the left common carotid artery, and after 2 h of recovery, exposing to 8% oxygen-92% nitrogen gas mixture for 2 h. The HIBI rats were randomly divided into early intervention groups, late intervention group, non-intervention group. Intervention group were kept in enriched environment before or after weaning for 20 d. Non-intervention group and control group were kept in a standard environment. Space learning and memory were tested with Morris water maze. Results The ability of space learning and memory in early intervention group was better than that in late intervention group (P

Objective To observe the expression of growth-associated protein-43(GAP-43) in the hippocampus of neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods HIBD was established by the method of Rice in 48 SD rats aged 7 days and another 48 matched normal rats served as control. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were respectively used to detect the expression of GAP-43 protein and mRNA in all rat hippocampus on day 8, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35 after HIBD (n=8 at each time point for each group). Results The expression of GAP-43 protein and mRNA in hippocampus was obviously increased in HIBD rats as compared with normal rats, the peak of GAP-43 protein appeared at 3rd week, and the peak of mRNA at 2nd week. Conclusion The expression of GAP-43 protein and mRNA increased in the hippocampus of rats following HIBD, which was possibly related to the recovery of injured hippocampus.

Objective To evaluate the vestibular function in patients with cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL). Methods Seventeen CADASIL patients were recruited in the present study and 17 healthy volunteers served as control subjects. Electronystagmogram examinations including gaze nystagmus test, spontaneous nystagmus test, saccade test, pursuit test, optokinetic nystagmus test and caloric test were performed in the subjects. Results Neither patients nor controls had gaze nystagmus or spontaneous nystagmus. There was no difference in the latency and velocity of saccade movement between patients and controls. The accuracy of the saccade movement, the accuracy in leftward saccade, was significantly lower in CADASIL group compared with controls. The pursuit movement gains was also significantly lower in CADASIL group than in control group(G_L:0.79±0.08, G_R:0.76±0.12)(t=-3.739、-2.911,P <0.05) compared with controls(G_L:0.87±0.04, G_R:0.86±0.06).The optokinetic nystagmus gains were significantly decreased in CADASIL group(G_L:0.79±0.17,G_R:0.78±0.18)(t=-2.342、-2.335,P<0.05) compared with controls(G_L:0.90±0.08,G_R:0.89±0.09). The caloric test was performed in one CADASIL patient and the result revealed an incomplete fixing inhibition. CADASIL group was further divided into normal subgroup and abnormal subgroup based on the pursuit curve. The comparison between those two subgroups demonstrated a significant correlation between the pursuit movement and the symptoms of vertigo or dizziness(P<0.05). Conclusions The central vestibular function is impaired in CADASIL patients and the abnormal vestibular function is related to the symptom of vertigo or dizziness in CADASIL patients.
