Objective:To observe the effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rh-GH)on depressive-like behavior in mice with chronic restraint stress(CRS),and to discuss its possible mechanism.Methods:The CRS method was used to establish an animal model of depression;a total of 45 mice were didided into control group(non-modeled,n=15),and CRS model group(modeled,n=30)the sucrose preference test(SPT)was used to detect the sucrose preference rate of the mice;the tail suspension test(TST)was used to detect the immobility time of the mice;the open field test(OFT)was used to detect the total moving distance of the mice within 5 min and the time spent in the central area.The CRS mice were randomly divided into CRS model+saline group and CRS model+rh-GH group(n=10);the mice in CRS model+saline group were injected with normal saline;the mice in CRS model+rh-GH group were subcutaneously injected with rh-GH daily for 1 month;the peripheral blood of the mice was collected before and after intervention to detect the expression levels of growth hormone(GH)and insulin-like growth factorⅠ(IGF-Ⅰ)proteins in serum;after all behavioral experiments,the hippocampus tissue was taken to detect the expression level of synapsin-1(SYN-1)protein in the tissue of the mice.Results:Compared with control group,the body weight of the mice in CRS model group was significantly decreased(P<0.01),the sucrose preference rate in SPT was significantly decreased(P<0.01),the immobility time in TST was significantly prolonged(P<0.01);in OFT,the total moving distance of mice showed no significant change(P>0.05),while the time spent in the central area was significantly shortened(P<0.05).Compared with control group,the expression levels of GH and IGF-Ⅰ proteins in serum of the mice in CRS model group were significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with CRS model+saline group,the sucrose preference rate in SPT of the mice in CRS model+rh-GH group was significantly increased(P<0.01),the immobility time in TST was significantly shortened(P<0.05),the total moving distance in OFT showed no significant difference(P>0.05),and the time spent in the central area was significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with model+saline group,the expression levels of GH and IGF-Ⅰ proteins in serum of the mice in CRS model+rh-GH group were significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with model group,the expression level of SYN-1 protein in hippocampus tissue of mice in drug-treated model group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:rh-GH has ameliorative effects on depressive-like behavior induced by chronic restraint stress in mice,and its mechanism may be associated with regulation of the GH/IGF-Ⅰ axis and increased expression of SYN-1 in hippocampus tissue.

Objective:To discuss the effect of the force feedback perceptual rehabilitation training on finger motor function of the patients with finger motor dysfunction after stroke,and to provide the basis for the clinical application and promotion of the force feedback perceptual rehabilitation training.Methods:A total of 86 patients with hand dysfunction after stroke were randomly divided into experimental group(n=43)and control group(n=43),and 3 cases in each group fell off from the experiment,and 80 cases were ultimately completed.On this basis,the patients in two groups received the conventional rehabilitation training for 40 min.The patients in control group received the conventional hand function training for 20 min,while the patients in experimental group received the force feedback perception rehabilitation training for 20 min,once per day,5 days per week,for a total of 6 weeks.The hand function recovery of the patients were evaluated before and after treatment by Action Research Arm Test(ARAT),grip strength,modified Ashworth scale(MAS),total active motion(TAM),Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment-upper limb(FMA-UL)finger motor part score,and Barthel index(BI).Results:Before treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in ARAT total score,grip strength,MAS grade,TAM,FMA-UL finger motor part score,and BI score of the patients between two groups(P＞0.05).After treated for 6 weeks,the ARAT scores,grip strengths,TAM,FMA-UL finger motor part scores,and BI scores of the patients in two groups were all increased than those before treatment(P＜0.05),while the MAS grades of the patients had no significant differences(P＞0.05).After treated for 6 weeks,compared with control group,the grasp score and grip score in ARAT score,and the difference of total ARAT score of the patients in experimental group were increased(P＜0.05),the TAM after treatment and the differences of grip strength,TAM,and FMA-UL finger motor part score of the patients before and after treatment were increased(P＜0.05),while the pinch scores and gross movement scores in ARAT score,MAS grades,and the differences of BI score before and after treatment had no significant differences(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Force feedback perceptual rehabilitation training is helpful in improving the finger motor function of the patients with finger motor dysfunction after stroke.
