Objective:To evaluate the effect of small-dose esketamine on the learning and memory ability of chronic sleep-deprived rats and the role of hippocampal amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate receptors (AMPARs).Methods:Forty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 4 months, weighing 200-280 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: normal control group (N group), chronic sleep deprivation group (SD group), chronic sleep deprivation+ esketamine group (SDK group) and chronic sleep deprivation + esketamine + AMPAR antagonist CNQX group (SDKI group). The sleep deprivation model was prepared by the modified multi-platform water environment method. For 3 consecutive days after developing the model, ketamine 10 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in SDK group, and SDKI group received intraperitoneal injection of CNQX 1 mg/kg followed by ketamine 10 mg/kg. Morris water maze test was used to detect spatial learning and memory ability after the end of sleep deprivation or after administration. After the water maze test, rats were sacrificed, and the hippocampal tissue was obtained to detect the expression of hippocampal Homer1a mRNA (by quantitative polymerase chain reaction), Homer1a, metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) and AMPAR (by Western blot). The density of dendritic spines in hippocampal CA1 region was determined by Golgi staining. Results:Compared with N group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant and the number of times the animals crossing the platform were decreased, the expression of Homer1a protein and mRNA and mGluR5 was up-regulated, the expression of AMPAR was down-regulated, and the density of dendritic spines in hippocampal CA1 region was decreased in SD group ( P<0.05). Compared with SD group, the escape latency was significantly shortened, the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant and the number of times the animals crossing the platform were increased, the expression of AMPAR was up-regulated, and the density of dendritic spines in hippocampal CA1 region was increased in SDK group ( P<0.05). Compared with SDK group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the percentage of time spent in the target quadrant and the number of times the animals crossing the platform were decreased, the expression of AMPAR was down-regulated, and the density of dendritic spines in hippocampal CA1 region was decreased in SDKI group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression of Homer1a protein and mRNA and mGluR5 among SD group, SDK group and SDKI group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Small-dose esketamine can improve the learning and memory ability of chronic sleep-deprived rats, and the mechanism may be related to up-regulation of the expression of hippocampal AMPARs.

With the increase in age,the oral function of older adults shows an age-related decline,which limits the types,quantity,and quality of their diet.Limited dietary intake can lead to a lack of basic nutrients needed for maintaining oral health,induce a series of oral diseases,and further aggravate the deterioration of oral functions.Oral frailty is the accumulation of mild oral function decline and is an emerging concept in the field of oral health.Currently,research on oral frailty and dietary intake mostly focuses on the impact of single-dimensional oral function decline on the dietary intake,dietary structure,and dietary satisfaction of older adults,as well as the impact of different dietary structures on the status of oral health among older adults.There is still a lack of large-sample,high-quality research on the relationship between comprehensive oral function decline and dietary intake.In addition,existing oral frailty intervention measures often place a narrow emphasis on the exercise and recovery of oral function without considering the impact of dietary intake and nutritional status on the development of oral frailty.Relevant research on taking dietary intake as an entry point or using it as a comprehensive intervention method also needs to be further explored by researchers.In the future,specialized assessment and screening of dietary status may be introduced in the routine health management practices for older adults.Furthermore,targeted intervention programs could also be proposed based on the characteristics of the oral status and the dietary intake habits of older adults,so as to prevent the functional decline related to dietary intake and nutritional supplementation.Herein,we reviewed the correlation between dietary intake and oral frailty to provide new ideas and directions for formulating comprehensive management strategies for oral frailty.
