摘要:




文题释义:
氨中毒:是一种正常代谢产物氨在体内过量聚集导致的一系列病理反应状态。血氨可以通过血脑屏障,具有神经毒性,目前氨中毒学说被认为是肝性脑病发病机制的主要假说。
海马突触损害:海马区域的突触结构或功能障碍通常与神经退行性疾病、脑损伤、缺血缺氧状态或精神障碍等病理过程相关。海马是大脑中与学习、记忆及情绪调节密切相关的结构,海马突触健康状态对于认知功能至关重要。

背景:氨中毒被认为是肝性脑病发病机制的主要假说,可以导致精神和认知行为障碍,但具体病理分子机制尚不清楚。
目的:探讨氨中毒对小鼠认知行为和海马神经元突触的影响。
方法:采用随机数字表法将32只C57BL/6J小鼠随机分为对照组和氯化铵组,每组16只。对照组腹腔注射生理盐水,氯化铵组腹腔注射氯化铵(10 mmol/kg)构建氨中毒模型,每天1次,连续注射7 d。注射完成后,心脏取血检测血氨浓度,通过旷场实验、新物体识别和自发交替Y迷宫测试评估小鼠精神与认知行为变化,免疫印迹法检测海马神经元突触素和突触后致密物95蛋白表达。
结果与结论:①与对照组比较,氯化铵组小鼠血氨浓度升高(P < 0.05),出现焦虑样行为与脱抑制现象,识别记忆与工作记忆能力显著下降;免疫印迹法检测结果显示,氯化铵组小鼠海马神经元突触素和突触后致密物95蛋白表达均低于对照组(P < 0.05);②结果表明,氨中毒可能诱导海马神经元突触损伤,导致小鼠精神和认知行为异常。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Ammonia poisoning is considered to be the main hypothesis for the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy. Ammonia can lead to psychiatric and cognitive behavioral disorders, although the specific pathological molecular mechanisms remain unclear. 
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of ammonia poisoning on cognitive behavior and hippocampal neuronal synapses in mice. 
METHODS: Thirty-two C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a normal control group and an ammonium chloride group, with 16 mice in each group. Normal saline was injected intraperitoneally in the control group, and ammonium chloride (10 mmol/kg) was injected intraperitoneally in the ammonium chloride group to construct a model of ammonia poisoning, once a day. After 7 days of ammonium chloride intervention, blood samples were collected from the hearts of six mice in each group for blood ammonia concentration detection. Behavioral experiments, including the open field test, novel object recognition test, and Y-maze test, were performed to assess mental and cognitive-behavioral changes in mice. Finally, hippocampal tissues were extracted for western blot analysis to detect the expression levels of synaptophysin and postsynaptic density protein-95 in hippocampal neurons. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The blood ammonia concentration was significantly elevated in the ammonium chloride group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Mice in the ammonium chloride group showed anxiety-like behavior and disinhibition phenomenon, and a significant decrease in recognition memory and working memory ability. Western blot results revealed that the expression of synaptophysin and postsynaptic density protein-95 protein in hippocampal neurons in the ammonium chloride group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). To conclude, ammonia poisoning can induce hippocampal neuronal synaptic damage, leading to psychiatric and cognitive behavioral abnormalities in mice.

Key words: ammonia poisoning, ammonium chloride, hepatic encephalopathy, cognitive behavior, hippocampal neurons, synapses, engineered tissue construction
