简介:目的探讨老年性耳蜗毛细胞损害与中药复方健耳剂两种喂药方法干预的作用。方法选择1月龄C57BL/6J小鼠22只用于本实验,其中4只小鼠每日饮用自来水直到出生后3个月作为幼龄对照组;6只小鼠每日饮用自来水直到出生后7个月作为老年性聋对照组;6只小鼠每日自动饮用中药复方健耳剂直到出生后7个月;另6只小鼠每日自动饮用同样中药至4个月后改用每日人工灌服直到出生后7个月。各组动物实验到期终止后,取耳蜗进行全耳蜗基底膜铺片,将全耳蜗内、外毛细胞计数结果输入计算机并应用耳蜗图软件进行耳蜗毛细胞密度对比分析,其中选择基底膜上重要的病变区间的毛细胞密度进行统计学分析。结果3月龄对照组小鼠耳蜗外、内毛细胞缺损仅仅出现在耳蜗底回钩端区域;7月龄对照组外、内毛细胞缺损从底回基底膜起始端扩展到距离耳蜗顶端约40%区域;7月龄中药灌服组和自动饮用组动物的内、外毛细胞缺损范围和程度相似,均显著比7月龄对照组为轻(P〈0.001)。结论中药复方健耳剂能够有效延缓C57BL/6J小鼠老年性耳蜗毛细胞损害的发生和发展,两种喂药方式所起作用相同(P〉0.05),其药理机制可能与其改善微循环,清除活性氧,保护线粒体等作用相关。

简介:目的检测不同年龄大鼠下丘α-氨基羟甲基恶唑丙酸(α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole—propionicacid,AMPA)受体亚型GluR2/3(Glutmaterecptor2/3)的分布及其与听性脑干反应(auditorybrainstemresponse,ABR)的关系。方法分别测定1,4,9,15周龄SD大鼠ABR反应阈;FITC标记免疫组化方法检测GluR2/3亚型在不同周龄SD大鼠下丘中的分布。结果1周龄SD大鼠检测不到明显的ABR波形.4周龄起能检测到稳定的ABR波形。GluR2/3在不同年龄大鼠下丘神经元中均有表达。1周龄大鼠染色较少,位于胞膜;4周龄时表达强,主要位于胞膜;9周龄时较弱,位于胞膜及胞质;15周龄时可见于胞膜及核周胞质,但胞质较强。4周龄与1、9、15周龄胞膜相比,GluR2/3亚型的表达较强,差异有显著性;1周与9周、15周龄胞膜之间.GluR2/3的表达较弱,差异无显著性。结论出生后GluR2/3在下丘的含量及分布部位均随年龄变化而变化.这种改变可能与下丘的发育相关。
