目的建立脑卒中后抑郁(PSD)动物模型并评价西酞普兰干预作用。方法大脑中动脉阻塞法建立局灶脑缺血模型,加用慢性不可预见温和应激结合孤养,建立PSD大鼠模型并予以西酞普兰干预。结果CMS开始后第19天,模型大鼠水平活动得分(与基线、正常、卒中组相比均P〈0.001;与应激抑郁组相比均P〈0.01),垂直活动得分(与基线、正常、卒中组相比均P〈0.001;与应激抑郁组相比均P〈0.05)显著降低。19~42d,模型组大鼠水平得分(从37.8±1.7至34.2±1.2)和垂直得分(从9.7±0.8至7.8±0.8)显示与应激抑郁组水平得分(从41.0±1.3至42.3±0.8)、垂直得分(从11.2±0.4至11.7±0.8)程度不同的进行性下降趋势。第3~6周蔗糖水饮用比例显著少于基线及各组(均P〈0.001)。结论模型大鼠充分并持续表现快感缺乏等PSD核心症状.可操作性和重复性较好,是研究PSD的理想模型。西酞普兰能改善PSD大鼠行为学异常。
Objective To establish an animal model of post-stroke depression (PSD) and assess the effects of citalopram on PSD. Methods Fifty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. Normal group ( n = 6) underwent sham operation. Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CMS) group ( n = 6 ), underwent separate raising and CMS. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group (n = 24) underwent MCAO and then re-divided into 3 equal subgroups: stroke subgroup, PSD model subgroup (undergoing isolated raising and CMS so as to establish PSD models ), and citalopram subgroup (treated with intraperituneal injection of citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor for 6 weeks). The rats were examined dynamically at the 19th, 28th, and 42nd days after CMS by open-field test (OFT) and sucrose consumption test. Results On the 19th day after CMS the locomotor activity score of the PSD models was significantly lower ( P 〈0. 001 compared to the baseline level of the same subgroup and to those of the control and stroke rats, P 〈 0.01 compared to the CMS group) ; and the frequency of rearing score of the PSD models was significantly decreased (P 〈 0. 001 compared to its baseline level and to those of the control and stroke groups, and P 〈 0. 05 compared to the CMS group). During the days 19-42, the frequency of locomotor and exploratory activities of the PSD model rats declined continually, from 37.8 ± 1.7 to 34. 2 ± 1.2 and from 9. 7 ± 0. 8 to 7.8 ± 0. 8 respectively, showing a tendency in just the reverse direction in the CMS group (from 41.0 ± 1.3 to 42. 3±0. 8 and from 11.2±0. 4 to 11.7±0. 8 respectively). The PSD rats showed a reduction in sucrose preference at week 3 and afterwards (P 〈0. 001 compared with other groups). The levels of open-field activities and proportion of rats with sucrose preference in the citalopram subgroup were all significantly higher than those in other groups ( all P 〈 0. 001 ) . Conclusion Anhedonia and underaetivity, t
