目的在建立大鼠海洛因辨别刺激模型基础上,评估不同浓度的尼古丁对海洛因辨别刺激的替代作用。方法采用固定比率食物强化方法训练雄性sD大鼠辨别0.3mg/kg海洛因;之后,分别给予不同剂量的海洛因、尼古丁替代0.3mg/kg海洛因,明确海洛因辨别效应曲线和尼古丁替代0.3mg/kg海洛因的辨别效应。结果0.3mg/kg剂量的海洛因能形成稳定的大鼠药物辨别行为;不同剂量海洛因替代组(0.03,0.1,0.3,0.56mg/kg)的海洛因鼻触响应率分别为(33.9±15.0)%,(43.3±13.3)%,(98.7±0.5)%,(99.4±0.2)%,海洛因剂量在0~0.3mg/kg之间诱导的辨别效应呈剂量依赖性增加;0.03,0.1mg/kg尼占丁替代组的海洛因鼻触响应率分别为(1.9±1.1)%,(13.7±5.6)%,与0.3mg/kg海洛因替代组相比,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.01);而0.3,0.5mg/kg尼古丁替代组的海洛因鼻触响应率分别为(60.4±16.1)%,(65.9±16.4)%,与0.3mg/kg海洛因替代组相比,差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论0.3,0.5mg/kg尼古丁能产生部分类似海洛因的辨别刺激效应。
Objective To evaluate the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine on the basis of a rat model of heroin discrimination. Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to discriminate 0.3 mg/kg heroin from saline under a fixed-ratio (FR10) schedule of food reinforcement. After training, different doses of heroin and nicotine were used to substitute for training dose of heroin, the dose-response curve for heroin and the discrimi- native stimulus effects of nicotine were identified in rats. Results All rats reliably discriminated 0.3 mg/kg heroin from saline. Different doses of heroin ( 0. 03 ,0.1,0. 3 ,0. 56 mg/kg) produced ( 33.9 ± 15.0 ) %, ( 43.3 ± 13.3 ) %, (98.7 ± 0.5 ) % , (99.4 ± 0.2 ) % total responding on heroin associated lever, heroin at the doses of lower than 0.3 mg/kg produced the dose-dependent relationship in heroin-appropriate responding. In heroin-trained rats, nicotine at the dose of 0.03,0.1 mg/kg produced( 1.9 ± 1.1 ) % , ( 13.7 ±5.6) % total responding on heroin associated lever,there were extremely significant differences with 0.3 mg/kg heroin control (P〈 0.01 ). However, nicotine at the dose of 0.3,0.5 mg/kg produced ( 60.4 ± 16.1 ) % , (65.9 ± 16.4) % total responding on heroin associated lever, there were no significant differences with 0.3 mg/kg heroin control (P 〉 0.05 ). Conclusion Nicotine at the dose of 0.3,0.5 mg/kg can partially produce heroin-like discriminative stimulus effects.
