目的:本实验通过检测脊髓损伤后Cdc42的蛋白表达来探讨电针结合减重步行训练疗(BWSTT)法的治疗机制。方法:选用健康成年雄性SD大鼠90只,随机分为假手术对照组(A组)、模型对照组(B组)、夹脊电针观察组(C组)、夹脊电针结合减重步行训练观察组(D组)、药物组(E组)。急性脊髓损伤(SCI)模型采用美国NYU脊椎冲击损伤仪致大鼠T9-T10段脊髓急性中度损伤。采用免疫印迹和免疫组化技术检测各时间点损伤段脊髓Cdc42的表达。结果:在两项检测技术中,假手术对照组的蛋白表达一直处于稳定低水平状态。SCI术后表达呈逐渐增加的趋势,28d时达到高峰,两组观察组及药物组与模型组相比在7d、14d、28d均有显著性差异(P〈0.05),两组观察组之间在28d时具有显著性差异(P〈0.05)。结论:电针结合BWSTT疗法可能通过增加Rho/ROCK激酶信号通路中下游因子Cdc42的表达,促进大鼠运动功能的恢复;从损伤后长久的复健来看,电针结合BWSTT疗法对SCI后运动功能的恢复上优于电针观察组。
Objective: To investigate the electric- acupunture( EA) combined with BWSTT by evaluating the expression of Cdc42.Method: 90 adult ma Le SD rats were randomized into the sham group( A group),the model group( B group),Jia- Ji EA group( C group),EA with BWSTT group( D group) and Fausidil group( E group). Spinal cords injury was made by NYU impactor on T9- T10 spinal segment. Immunohistochemical techniques detect the expression of Cdc42 in lesion segment at each time points. Results: Cdc42 expression stayed a low- level in the sham group. Expression after SCI was gradually increased,and reached a peak at 28 d. The two treatment groups and drug group compared with the model group had a significant differences at 7d,14 d,28d( P〈0. 05). The difference between the two treatment groups was significant at 28d( P〈0. 05). Conclusions: EA and BWSTT therapy may be increase the expression of Cdc42 to promote the recovery of motor function in rats by Rho / ROCK signa Ling pathway. For the long- term rehabilitation after SCI,the EA combined with BWSTT superior than EA group on the recovery of motor function after SCI.
