-ATPase
excitatory amino acid transporters(EAATs) and glutamate(Glu) in hippocampus of post-stroke spasticity rats
so as to explore the central mechanism in anti-spasticity. Methods In a total of 48 healthy SD rats
12 rats were randomly selected to be included into sham operation group
and the remaining rats were used to make a middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) model using a suture method. On the 3+-ATPase
excitatory amino acid transporters(EAATs) and glutamate(Glu) in hippocampus of post-stroke spasticity rats
so as to explore the central mechanism in anti-spasticity. Methods In a total of 48 healthy SD rats
12 rats were randomly selected to be included into sham operation group
and the remaining rats were used to make a middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) model using a suture method. On the 3
(rd)
day after modeling
MCAO limb spasticity rats were screened by neurological deficit symptoms and muscle tension scores
and randomly divided into the model
GB34(Hui-puncture at GB34) and GB34+GV20(Hui-puncture at GB34 and horizontal insertion at GV20) groups(n=12 rats in each group)
and the treatment was lasted for 7 conse-cutive days. The neurological symptoms and muscle tension score were observed with the Zea Longa score and modified Ashworth scale(MAS). The levels of Glu
EAAT1(GLAST) and EAAT2(GLT-1) in the ischemic area of cerebral hippocampus were detected by ELISA

-ATPase α1(ATP1α1) was detected by Western blot
the expression of ATP1α1 mRNA was detected by real-time PCR
and the expression of GLAST
GLT-1 and ATP1α1 was detected by immunofluorescence. Results After modeling
Zea Longa score and MAS score were increased(P
<
0.01)
the level of Glu in the ischemic area of cerebral hippocampus was increased(P
<
0.01)
while the expression levels of GLAST
GLT-1
ATP1α1 protein and mRNA were all decreased(P
<
0.01) in the model group relevant to the sham operation group. After 7 days' treatment
all the increased and decreased levels of the indexes mentioned above were reversed in the two acupuncture groups relevant to the model group(P
<
0.01
P
<
0.05)
and the effects of acupuncture at GB34+GV20 were obviously superior to that of acupuncture at GB34(P

which may be related to its effect in up-regulating the expressions of Na+-ATPase α1(ATP1α1) was detected by Western blot
