摘要
背景:严重或持久的应激是很多身心疾病的诱发因素,明显损害机体的认知功能。目的:观察应激状态下海马氨基酸的变化及慢性应激对大鼠海马长时程增强的影响。设计:完全随机对照动物实验。单位:汕头大学精神卫生中心。材料:实验于2000-12在汕头大学医学院完成。实验动物为SD成年雄性大鼠16只,随机分为对照组和应激组,每组8只。方法:应激组强迫游泳4周建立慢性应激模型,采用离体海马脑片(500μm)结合电生理的方法观测海马CA1区长时程增强的变化。在海马CA3区Schaffer侧支施加高频刺激后,观察CA1区锥体神经元群体峰电位幅值和场兴奋性突触后电位斜率的改变。应用高效液相色谱紫外检测法对海马氨基酸神经递质进行定量分析。主要观察指标:①以群体峰电位的幅值和场兴奋性突触后电位的斜率作为观察长时程增强变化的指标。②海马氨基酸含量变化。结果:实验第2周应激组大鼠溺水死亡1只,给予补充,其余全部进入结果分析。①对照组的群体峰电位幅值和场兴奋性突触后电位斜率在高频刺激后增大的幅度明显高于应激组(P<0.05)。②对照组天冬氨酸和谷氨酸的水平明显低于应激组,[(2.425±0.211),(4.746±0.609)μmol/g,P<0.01];[(6.016±0.677)(8.094±1.035)μmol/g,P<0.01],而两组间γ-氨基丁酸的含量接近,差异无显著性[(4.229±0.449),(4.249±0.463)μmol/g,P>0.05]。结论:慢性应激抑制海马CA1区长时程增强的形成,提高海马组织天冬氨酸和谷氨酸的水平,而对γ-氨基丁酸的含量没有影响。慢性应激所引起的海马兴奋性氨基酸的堆积可能是学习和记忆能力损害的神经生化基础。
