本实验在３８只经氨基甲酸乙酯麻醉的健康家兔上进行,观察了电、化学刺激蓝斑核（ＬＣ）对颏舌肌功能的影响。结果如下：（１）长串电脉冲刺激蓝斑核使颏舌肌肌电活动明显增强,表现为长吸性肌电积分幅度升高,膈肌亦出现与颏舌肌同步的肌电活动增强。（２）ＬＣ内微量注射胞体兴奋剂谷氨酸钠,也引起明显的颏舌肌和膈肌肌电活动增强。（３）上述电、化学刺激的区域对照和盐水对照实验,均未出现有意义的肌电改变。提示：电、化学刺激ＬＣ可特异性增强上呼吸道阻力肌──颏舌肌的紧张性活动,具有减小上呼吸道阻力的作用,这对于某些上呼吸道阻塞性疾病发病机制的研究可能具有重要的意义。     

刺激家兔舌下神经核中段腹侧区对呼吸节律的影响

本工作在２５只氨基甲酸乙酯麻醉,断双侧迷走神经的家兔上,以膈肌肌电活动作为检测指标,观察了电及化学刺激舌下神经核中段腹侧区对呼吸节律的影响。结果如下：长串电脉冲刺激ＶＭＮＨ时,膈肌肌电活动被完全抑制,而颏舌肌活动明显易化;在吸气相的中期或后期短串电脉冲刺激ＶＭＮＨ可使吸气切断;微量注射谷氨酸钠于此区,膈肌活动也受到抑制。上述观察表明ＶＭＮＨ对呼吸节律具有调制作用,这种调制作用可能参与吞咽反射的中枢

电和L—谷氨酸钠刺激兔中缝隐核对膈神经放电的影响

实验在45只麻醉、自主呼吸、断双侧颈迷走神经的家兔上进行。电刺激或微量注射L-谷氨酸钠于中缝隐核(Nucleus raphe obscurus,NRO),观察到:(1)长串电脉冲刺激NRO(50—200μA,波宽0.3ms,100Hz,4—6s),出现膈神经放电被抑制的反应,被抑制的程度与刺激强度、刺激频率间存在相关性。(2)吸气期用短串电脉冲(100—200μA,波宽0.3ms,50—100Hz,5—20个脉冲)刺激NRO,可提前终止膈神经放电,产生吸气切断效应。吸气切断时间具有刺激落位和刺激强度依赖性。(3)NRO内微量注射细胞体兴奋剂谷氨酸钠(1mol/L,1μl),注药期间出现膈神经放电抑制,注药后为吸气时程(Ti)缩短和呼气时程(Te)延长。     

中缝隐核投射至中脑导水管周围灰质腹侧部的递质分析

实验在戊巴比妥钠麻醉大鼠上进行。双侧中脑导水管周围灰质腹侧部（ｖＰＡＧ）微量注射１μｇ／μｌ肾上腺素（每侧０．１μｌ）,刺激中缝隐核（ＮＲＯ）引起的降压反应明显增强,但该效应可被ｖＰＡＧ预先注射心得安所阻断,而注射酚妥拉明对上述效应无明显影响;ｖＰＡＧ内单独微量注射１μｇ／μｌ心得安（每侧０．１μｌ）,可部分阻断ＮＲＯ降压反应,而注射１μｇ／μｌ酚妥拉明（每侧０．１μｌ）无明显影响;双侧ｖＰＡＧ微量注射１０μｇ／μｌ吗啡或０．１ｍｏｌ／Ｌ５－ＨＴ（每侧０．１μｌ）,基础血压无明显变化,ＮＫＯ的降压反应幅度减小（Ｐ＜０．０５）。提示,ＮＫＯ对ｖＰＡＧ的兴奋作用的可能递质为肾上腺素,通过β受体介导;吗啡或５－ＨＴ则可减弱ＮＲＯ对ｖＰＡＧ的兴奋性投射作用。     

兴奋黑质对中缝大核神经元的抑制作用及其机制

本工作观察到在清醒、麻痹大鼠,电刺激黑质致密部(SN_C)或网状部(SN_R)均明显抑制中缝大核(NRM)神经元的自发放电;电针刺激双侧“足三里-三阴交”的同时,电刺激SN_C或SN_R可完全翻转电针对NRM神经元的兴奋效应,NRM神经元放电受抑制。将谷氨酸钠微量注入黑质,对中缝大核神经元亦具有抑制作用,电解损毁双侧中脑导水管周围灰质(PAG)腹外侧部或将多巴胺受体阻断剂氟哌啶醇注入该处,均可阻断此抑制效应。提示黑质对抗电针镇痛机制之一是通过其DA能投射纤维作用于PAG内的DA受体,进而抑制PAG-NRM系统而实现的。     

电刺激兔脑干中缝背核引起呼吸易化效应的观察

本文在30只全麻、制动、断双侧迷走神经的家兔上,记录一侧膈神经放电,观察了电刺激脑干中缝背核(Nucleus Raphe Dorsalis,NRD)所诱发出的呼吸效应。1.施以6—10s 长串电脉冲刺激(波宽0.3ms,频率100Hz,波幅4—6V),诱发出了强的呼吸易化效应,使呼吸加深加快。2.吸气相给予0.4s 短串电脉冲刺激可以明显的延长吸气相,用0.15mA 强度刺激,落位在吸气相的2/3时效应最明显。3.呼气相短串电脉串刺激可规律地使呼气时程缩短,促进呼气向吸气的位相转换,诱发此效应出现的强度阈值在呼气相中逐渐降低。     

脑桥呼吸调整中枢向中缝大核下行投射的研究

实验在23只苯巴比妥钠麻醉(i.p.30mg/kg)的成年猫上进行。在脑桥呼吸调整中枢(NPBM-KF)共记录到67个单位放电可被电刺激中缝大核(NRM)所逆行兴奋。其中有7个单位为呼吸相关性单位(吸气性6、呼气性1),占脑桥87个呼吸相关性单位总数的8％。逆行兴奋潜伏期在0.4—2.5ms之间,平均1.2ms。中缝大核内微量注入麦角辣根过氧化酶(WGA-HRP)后在NPBM-KF区观察到大量HRP标记神经元。本实验结果表明,发自脑桥呼吸调整中枢神经元的轴突可投射到中缝大核。这一投射通路可能与呼吸及痛觉调节有关。     

刺激中缝背核对大鼠脊髓背角神经元伤害性反应的影响及其传出途径的分析

大量资料表明,中缝背核(DR)在痛觉调节中具有重要作用。本实验用电生理学方法研究DR在痛觉调制中的下行性抑制作用,主要观察刺激DR对清醒制动大鼠脊髓背角神经元伤害性放电的影响。其主要结果是:①刺激DR或电针可以抑制脊髓背角神经元的伤害性反应,吗啡可加强这种抑制效应;②损毁中缝大核(NRM)、纳洛酮、麦角酰二乙胺(LSD)、赛庚啶及对氯苯丙氨酸(PCPA)均能部分阻断DR对脊髓背角神经元伤害性反应的抑制,实验结果表明:刺激DR抑制脊髓背角神经元的伤害性反应,部分是通过NRM间接控制背角神经元的伤害性传入;还有一部分是不通过NRM,可能是DR直接对脊髓背角伤害性信息的调制。在这种下行性抑制通路中有5-HT和阿片样物质的参与。     

Inhibition of serotonergic medullary raphe obscurus neurons suppresses genioglossus and diaphragm activities in anesthetized but not conscious rats.

Although exogenous serotonin at the hypoglossal motor nucleus (HMN) activates the genioglossus muscle, endogenous serotonin plays a minimal role in modulating genioglossus activity in awake and sleeping rats (Sood S, Morrison JL, Liu H, and Horner RL. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 172: 1338-1347, 2005). This result therefore implies that medullary raphe neurons also play a minimal role in the normal physiological control of the HMN, but this has not yet been established because raphe neurons release other excitatory neurotransmitters onto respiratory motoneurons in addition to serotonin. This study tests the hypothesis that inhibition of medullary raphe serotonergic neurons with 8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) suppresses genioglossus and diaphragm activities in awake and sleeping rats. Ten rats were implanted with electrodes to record sleep-wake states and genioglossus and diaphragm activities. Microdialysis probes were also implanted into the nucleus raphe obscurus (NRO). Experiments in 10 anesthetized and vagotomized rats were also performed using the same methodology. In anesthetized rats, microdialysis perfusion of 0.1 mM 8-OH-DPAT into the NRO decreased genioglossus activity by 60.7+/-9.0% and diaphragm activity by 13.3+/-3.4%. Diaphragm responses to 7.5% CO2 were also significantly reduced by 8-OH-DPAT. However, despite the robust effects observed in anesthetized and vagotomized rats, there was no effect of 0.1 mM 8-OH-DPAT on genioglossus or diaphragm activities in conscious rats awake or asleep. The results support the concept that endogenously active serotonergic medullary raphe neurons play a minimal role in modulating respiratory motor activity across natural sleep-wake states in freely behaving rodents. This result has implications for pharmacological strategies aiming to manipulate raphe neurons and endogenous serotonin in obstructive sleep apnea.     

Descending influences from nucleus raphe magnus on fusimotor neurone activity in rats

1. 1.Single fusimotor fibres were isolated in the ventral roots of lumbosacral segments of urethane-anaesthetized rats, and effects of electrical stimulation of the nucleus raphe magnus (NRM) on their spontaneous activity were investigated. The experiments were carried out in rats whose bilateral preoptic and anterior hypothalamic regions (PO/AH) were electrolytically destroyed to eliminate the influences of these regions to fusimotor activity.

2. 2.Of 44 fusimotor fibres studied, 38 (86%) were found to be affected by NRM stimulation. The effects of NRM stimulation were classified according to their response pattern: primary depression (D-type, n = 24), facilitation followed by depression (F-D-type, n = 5) and primary facilitation (F-type, n = 8). The most predominant effect of NRM stimulation upon fusimotor activity was characterized by a strong depression followed by a complete cessation of firing lasting either for a short period or for more than 30 min (D- and F-D-type).

3. 3.In three fusimotor fibres studied in the different preparations, it was observed that a NRM-evoked depression response was blocked by an intraperitoneal administration of a serotonin antagonist, p-chlorophenylalamine (p-CPA) (10 mg/kg).

4. 4.The results indicate that the NRM exerts descending inhibitory or facilitatory influences on fusimotor neurones, and suggest that cold shivering is controlled by modulating fusimotor neurone activity via the serotonergic raphe-signal pathways.
