摘 要:目的:探讨针灸通过降解β淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)改善阿尔茨海默病(AD)大鼠学习记忆能力的作用机制。方法:Wistar大鼠随机分为正常组、假手术组、模型组和针灸组,每组10只。采用双侧海马注射5μL Aβ_(1-42)复制AD模型。针灸组"百会"及"肾俞"穴针刺加艾灸治疗,15min/次,1次/d,6d为1个疗程,治疗2个疗程。采用Morris水迷宫检测各组大鼠行为学,ELISA法检测血清Aβ_(1-42)及Aβ内化酶的含量,免疫组化法检测海马齿状回内Aβ_(1-42)表达变化。结果:与假手术组比较,模型组前5d及后3d平均逃避潜伏期明显延长,有效区停留时间明显缩短,跨越原平台位置的次数明显减少(P<0.01),血清中转甲状腺素蛋白(TTR)、脂蛋白酯酶(LPL)、α_2巨球蛋白(α_2M)及载脂蛋白E(ApoE)含量明显下降(P<0.01,P<0.05),Aβ_(1-42)的含量明显增多(P<0.01),齿状回内Aβ_(1-42)阳性表达升高(P<0.01)。与模型组比较,针灸组前5d及后3d平均逃避潜伏期明显缩短,有效区停留时间明显延长,跨越原平台位置的次数明显增多(P<0.01,P<0.05),血清中TTR、LPL、α_2M及ApoE含量明显上升(P<0.01,P<0.05),Aβ_(1-42)含量明显减少(P<0.05),齿状回内Aβ_(1-42)阳性表达降低(P<0.05)。结论:针灸"百会""肾俞"能明显改善AD大鼠学习记忆能力,其机制可能与上调血清中Aβ内化酶的含量,促进Aβ的清除以保护神经细胞有关。Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion(AM)on learning-memory ability and expression of amyloid beta(Aβ)in the hippocampal dentate gyrus(DG)of Alzheimers disease(AD)rats,so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of AD. Method Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal,sham operation,model and AM groups(n=10 in each).The AD model was established by bilateral hippocampal injection of Aβ_(1-42)(5 μL).The AM was applied at"Baihui"(GV 20)and"Shenshu"(BL 23)for 15 min,once daily for 12 times.Morris water maze tests were used to assess the rats' learning-memory ability.The levels of serum Aβ_(1-42) and Aβinternalizing enzymes including transthyretin(TTR),lipoprotein lipase(LPL),alpha 2 macroglobulin(α_2 M)and apolipoprotein E(ApoE)were detected by ELISA.The expression of Aβ_(1-42) in the hippocampal DG was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the average escape latency of location navigation test was significantly prolonged in the first 5 days and the last 3 days(P〈0.01),and the residence time of the target-quadrant and the platform crossing times of special probing task were significantly reduced in the model group(P〈0.01).After the intervention,the average escape latency was obviously shortened in the first 5 days and the last 3 days(P〈0.01),and both the residence time and the platform crossing times were significantly increased in the AM group relevant to the model group(P〈0.01,P〈0.05).After modeling,the contents of TTR,LPL,α_2 M and ApoE in the serum were significantly lower in the model group than in the sham operation group(P〈0.01,P〈0.05),while the levels of serum Aβ_(1-42) and hippocampal Aβ_(1-42) expression were considerably increased relevant to the sham operation group(P〈0.01).Following the intervention,the TTR,LPL,α_2 M and ApoE contents in the serum were significantly increased(P〈0.0
