摘　　要：目的研究艾灸减轻新生小鼠缺氧缺血性脑病(HIE)的作用及其机制。方法55只出生7 d的ICR小鼠按照随机数字表法分为假手术组(Sham组)、模型组(HI组)和艾灸组(MOX组)。HI组和MOX组采用右侧颈总动脉结扎联合缺氧法制备HIE模型,MOX组建模后艾灸刺激大椎穴,35 min/次,1次/d,连续治疗3 d。处理结束后麻醉取脑,DAPI染色观察脑组织形态结构,TUNEL染色检测脑组织细胞凋亡;免疫荧光染色检测脑组织caspase-9表达;放射免疫分析法测定脑组织caspase-3含量。结果与Sham组相比,HI组小鼠脑组织排列疏松,脑组织凋亡细胞数和caspase-9表达显著增多(P<0.05);与HI组相比,MOX组小鼠脑组织排列较致密,脑组织凋亡细胞数、caspase-9和caspase-3表达显著减少(P<0.05)。结论艾灸可能通过降低脑组织caspase-9和caspase-3的表达来减少细胞凋亡,从而减轻新生小鼠缺氧缺血性脑损伤。Objective To investigate the mechanism of moxibustion on hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE)in neonatal mice.Methods A total of 55 neonatal ICR mice(aged 7 days)were randomly divided into sham-operated group(Sham group),HI group and moxibustion-treated(MOX)group according to the method of random digital table.Mice in both HI group and MOX group were induced HIE model by ligation of the right common carotid artery combined with hypoxia in a closed transparent chamber.After the model was established,mice in MOX group were given moxibustion treatment by heating Dazhui points 35 min/d,once a day for 3 days.The morphological structure of brain tissue was examined by DAPI staining.The apoptotic cells of brain tissue were detected using TUNEL assay.The expression of caspase-9 was detected by immunofluorescent staining,and the content of caspase-3 was determined by radioimmunoassay.Results Compared with the Sham group,mice in the HI group showed that the arrangement of brain tissues was loose,and the number of apoptotic cells,the expression of caspase-9 positive cells in brain tissues increased(P<0.05).Compared with the HI group,mice in the MOX group exhibited that the arrangement of brain tissues was relatively compact,and the number of apoptotic cells,the expression of caspase-9 and the content of caspase-3 in brain tissues decreased significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion Moxibustion may decrease caspase-9 expression and caspase-3 content of brain tissues and then reduce apoptosis,thus reducing hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in neonatal mice.
