摘要:

 

适度的应激刺激如冷水游泳,可提高机体对恶劣事件的耐受性,然而这种适度应激带来益处的机制尚不明确。为此,实验设计建立冲击损伤脑创伤大鼠模型,假设冷水游泳预处理可促进其脑创伤后认知功能的恢复,并探讨其机制。结果发现脑创伤后应用冷水游泳预处理(4℃冷水中游泳3 min)的大鼠与未经冷水预处理的脑损伤大鼠相比,其在Morris水迷宫的寻找目标象限时间百分率显著增高,逃避潜伏期更短。脑创伤后的0,3,6,24 h,冷水游泳预处理的大鼠较未预处理的大鼠外周循环血中有更多的内皮祖细胞。免疫组织化学染色及VWF染色发现,脑创伤后冷水游泳预处理大鼠的损伤侧海马组织的内皮祖细胞(CD34阳性细胞)及新生血管数量均增多。说明冷水游泳预处理可促进外周血及海马组织内皮祖细胞增殖及血管新生,以此产生改善创伤性脑损伤后认知缺陷的作用。

Abstract:

A moderate stress such as cold water swimming can raise the tolerance of the body to potentially injurious events. However, little is  known about the mechanism of beneficial effects induced by moderate stress. In this study, we used a classic rat model of traumatic brain injury to test the hypothesis that cold water swimming preconditioning improved the recovery of cognitive functions and explored the mechanisms. Results showed that after traumatic brain injury, pre-conditioned rats (cold water swimming for 3 minutes at 4°C) spent a significantly higher percent of times in the goal quadrant of cold water swim, and escape latencies were shorter than for non-pretreated rats. The number of circulating endothelial progenitor cells was significantly higher in pre-conditioned rats than those without pretreatment at 0, 3, 6 and 24 hours after traumatic brain injury. Immunohistochemical staining and Von Willebrand factor staining demonstrated that the number of CD34+ stem cells and new blood vessels in the injured hippocampus tissue increased significantly in pre-conditioned rats. These data suggest that pretreatment with cold water swimming could promote the proliferation of endothelial progenitor cells and angiogenesis in the peripheral blood and hippocampus. It also ameliorated cognitive deficits caused by experimental traumatic brain injury.
