ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of sulforaphane synergistic with lithium chloride on neuroprotective of rats with traumatic brain injury. Methods According to feeney method free fall production models of traumatic brain injury induced injury models, and rats were divided into control group, model group, SFN group and collaborative group, each group 15 rats, control group without impact experiment, after operation the SFN group received daily intraperitoneal injection of sulforaphane, collaborative group were given sulforaphane and chloride lithium intraperitoneal injection, the model group received daily intraperitoneal injection of saline, the degree of nerve function impairment score (mNSS) in rats of each group postoperative 1 d, 3 d, 5 d and 7 d, and brain tissue of rats, the water content of brain tissue, HE staining of brain tissue and activity of SOD, IL-6, TNF-alpha, the level of MDA in each group postoperative 7 d were compared. Results Compared with the control group, mNSS scores in the model group, SFN group, collaborative group at each time point were significantly increased (P<0.05); After 5 d, 7 d of operation, synergy scores in SFN group and mNSS group rats were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.05), and mNSS score in collaborative group was significantly lower than that of SFN group(P<0.05); After 7 d of operation, the brain tissue water content in control group of rats was (69.29±2.06)%, the model group was(75.40±1.73)%, SFN group was (73.08±1.06)%, collaborative group was (71.27±1.52)%; Brain tissue HE staining results showed that the nerve cell injury of rats in SFN group and cooperative group was obviously alleviated than those in the model group, necrotic cells decreased, and the collaborative group relieve neuronal injury was the most remarkable; The SOD in model group, SFN group, collaborative group decreased significantly compared with the control group (P<0.05), IL-6, TNF-alpha, MDA levels increased significantly(P<0.05);The activity of SOD in SFN group and collaborative group increased significantly compared with the model group(P<0.05), IL-6, TNF-alpha, MDA levels decreased significantly (P<0.05), and collaborative TNF-alpha and IL-6 levels were significantly lower than that of SFN group (P<0.05). Conclusion Sulforaphane in combination with lithium chloride have remarkable neuroprotection on traumatic brain injury in rats, its mechanism may be related with the reduction of brain edema in rats, nerve cell damage, inhibition of oxidative stress and related to the release of inflammatory factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and treatment method for no midline shift-severe craniocerebral trauma accompanied with post-traumatic acute diffuse brain swelling (PADBS).Methods 60 PADBS patients were randomly divided into conservative treatment group and operation group,30 patients in each group.The operation group was treated with intracranial pressure monitoring by implantation of the probe and decompressive craniectomy,while the conservative treatment group received conservative treatment.The postoperative recovery was observed.Results The GCS scores of operation group postoperative 7d and 15d were (11.21 ± 2.24) and (12.88 ±2.31),which were obviously higher than (7.47 ± 1.51) and (8.19 ± 1.28) of the conservative treatment group (t =2.215,2.321,all P ＜ 0.05).Postoperative long-term follow-up results indicated that,according to GOS score,63.3％ patients in the operation group recovered well,which was significantly higher than 26.7％ in the conservative treatment group.While the percent of patients with coma or dead was 6.7％ and 10.0％ in the operation group,which were significantly lower than the conservative treatment group (x2 =15.721,4.172,3.84,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In general,PADBS could not be cured easliy,the operation methods of using intracranial pressure monitoring and decompressive craniectomy based on conservative treatment could help to evaluate the trauma objectivly,detect the changes of disease earlier,treat in time and assess the prognosis accurately,all which would reduce the mortality.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of brain derived neurotrophin factor (BDNF) transfected with cationic liposome in protecting nerve tissue and promoting regeneration of the myelin sheath. Methods Wistar rat Schwanns cells (SWCs) were cultured in vitro. The recombinant cationic liposomes mediated PCDNA 3 BDNF was transplanted into SWCs and then into electrical reticular lesion of the brain stem (Group Ⅰ). At the same time, pure cell transplantation group (Group Ⅱ), empty transfected vector cell transplantation (Group Ⅲ) and normal saline injection group (Group Ⅳ) were set. The concentration of BDNF in the brain stem was measured by ELISA, the survival of myelinated basic protein (MBP) and SWCs in the brain stem by immunohistochemistry and the regeneration of the myelin sheath by the transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results One week after transplantation, the concentration of BDNF in the brain stem in the Group Ⅰ was much higher than that in other three groups ( P
