【摘要】 目的 研究双侧迷走神经切断对肺缺血再灌注引起的氧化应激反应的影响。 方法 将24只健康雄性新西兰大白兔随机分为:假手术组（S组）、缺血再灌注组（IR组）、双侧迷走神经切断合并缺血再灌注组（NIR组）。缺血前和再灌注末抽取动脉血进行血气分析，观察动脉血氧分压PaO2及肺泡动脉氧分压差（A-aDO2）的变化。再灌注末取肺组织检测肺的湿干重比值（W/D）和氧化应激指标，包括丙二醛（MDA）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）及过氧化氢酶（CAT）。 结果 与S组比较，缺血再灌注明显降低了PaO2，增加了A-aDO2和W/D值，增加了肺组织MDA含量并降低了SOD、CAT活性；双侧迷走神经切断进一步降低了SOD活性。 结论 切断实验兔的双侧迷走神经，降低了肺组织抗氧化酶-超氧化物歧化酶的活性，提示迷走神经在降低肺缺血再灌注引起的氧化应激反应中发挥了重要的调节作用。【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the effect of bilateral vagal nerves transection on lung ischemia-reperfusion induced oxidative stress. Methods A total of 24 New Zealand male rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham group (S group), ischemia-reperfusion group (IR group), and bilateral vagal nerves transection with ischemia-reperfusion group (NIR group). Before ischemia and at the end of reperfusion, arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and alveolo-arterial oxygen tension difference (A-aDO2) were detected. At the end of reperfusion, lung tissues were obtained to measure wet/dry weight ratio (W/D). Evaluation of oxidative stress indicators, including content of lung malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities was also performed. Results Compared with the S group, lung ischemia-reperfusion significantly decreased the PaO2, elevated A-aDO2 and lung W/D weight ratio. At the same time, MDA level in the lung tissue was elevated and SOD and CAT activities were decreased. After bilateral vagal nerves transection, SOD activity was further decreased. Conclusion Transection of bilateral vagal nerves reduced the activity of antioxidant enzyme, especially superoxide dismutase in lung tissue, suggesting that the integrity of the vagal nerves plays an important regulatory role in ischemia-reperfusion mediated oxidative stress in the lung.

Forty-two patients with duodenal ulcer underwent highly selective vagotomy and mucosal antrectomy (HSV+MA) and were followed up for 3 years. Two weeks, 1 year and 3 year after operation, serum gastrim level and gastric emptying capacity were tested. The results show that he postoperative levels of serum gastrin were lower than the preoperative ones, but wih no significant difference (Ｐ＞0.05). Only a few patients had delayed gastric emptying 2 weeks and 1year after operation,but it returned to normal in 3 years .The authors conclude that HSV+MA is a better operative treatment for duodenal ulcer since it can abolish the factors of postoperative ulcer recurence and perserve the functions of the antrum and the pylorus.
ObjectiveTo investigate the anatomic distribution of hepatic nerves in liver and summarize the physiological and pathological functions of autonomic nervous system in liver.MethodThe literatures of studies related to human and animal liver neuroanatomy and function in recent years were reviewed, and the physiological and pathological functions involved in liver were summarized according to sympathetic nerve and vagus nerve, respectively.ResultHepatic nerves were mainly involved in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, immune response, inflammation, hemodynamics, alcoholic liver disease, tumor metastasis, and liver regeneration after injury.ConclusionThe mechanism of nerve regulation in liver is complex, and understanding these mechanisms provides a general new idea for the future treatment strategies for liver diseases.
Vagus nerve stimulation was first used in the treatment of refractory epilepsy and depression, and its indications have expanded in recent years. The brain-gut axis is a bidirectional communication network pathway connecting the gut to the brain, maintaining homeostatic balance of the gut microbiota and shaping brain function. The vagus nerve plays an important role in brain-gut axis mechanisms in neurological disorders, which may be an important rationale for vagus nerve stimulation in the treatment of related diseases. Recent studies have shown that vagus nerve stimulation modulates the intestinal microenvironment and the intestinal microbiota, but the specific mechanisms of this alteration need further investigation. Fecal transplants or oral probiotics combined with vagus nerve stimulation may become an important therapeutic tool in the future, especially to improve the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy; the gut microbiota may also be a predictive target for the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation for epilepsy.
ObjectiveTo observe the influence and interaction of duodenal jejunal bypass (DJB) and hepatic branch of vagus on glucose metabolism, and fasting serum glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY) in non-obese rat with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MethodsForty non-obese Wistar rats (GK) with T2DM were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation group (SO group), sham operation plus hepatic branch of vagus resection (HBVR) group (SO+HBVR group), DJB group, and DJB+ HBVR group. The changes of preoperative and postoperative body weight, fasting blood glucose level, fasting serum insulin level, fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents among four groups were observed. ResultsIn the DJB group, the postoperative body weight and fasting blood glucose level were decreased significantly (P < 0.05) and the fasting insulin level, fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents were increased significantly (P < 0.05) as compared with the preoperative corresponding values in the same group, and it was found that the hepatic branch of vagus could more lastingly maintain postoperative lower body weight (P < 0.05), improve the level of insulin (P < 0.05), increase the fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents (P < 0.05) as compared with the DJB+HBVR group. ConclusionDJB could improve glucose metabolism effect of GK rats, the hepatic branch of vagus might play a role in it, too.
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in patients with refractory magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-negative epilepsy and to evaluate potential clinical predictors. MethodsA retrospective collection of efficacy data was conducted on 24 patients with intractable MRI-negative epilepsy treated with VNS, who were followed up for more than six months, at Beijing Tiantan Hospital and Beijing Fengtai Hospital from January 2016 to September 2023. Patients were divided into two subgroups based on their response to VNS: responders (≥50% reduction in seizure frequency) and non-responders (<50% reduction in seizure frequency). The relationship between preoperative clinical data and VNS efficacy was further analyzed to identify potential predictors of VNS efficacy. ResultsA total of 24 patients were included, with an average age of (14.26±8.39) years old. Seizure frequency was reduced by more than 50% in 37.5% of patients, and 8.3% of patients achieved seizure-free after VNS treatment. Preoperative seizure frequency and interictal epileptiform discharge type were significantly associated with VNS efficacy (P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that a monthly seizure frequency of less than 100 and focal interictal epileptiform discharges were independent predictors of VNS efficacy (P<0.05). ConclusionVNS is an effective treatment for patients with refractory MRI-negative epilepsy. Lower monthly seizure frequency and focal interictal epileptiform discharges are potential predictors of VNS efficacy. These findings provide important references for clinicians in selecting and evaluating patients for VNS treatment.
Objective To investigate the influence of nerve growth factor (NGF) on neuroal regeneration of somatovisceral heterogenic reinnervation using a rat phrenic-to-vagus anastomosis model. Methods Forty male SD rats, aging 3 months and weighing 200 g, were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups. In group A (n=10, control group), phrenic and vagusnerves were exposed and no neurorraphy was performed. In group B (n=15) and group C (n=15), both nerves were transected and proximal stump of phrenic nevers were microsurgically anastomosed to the distal stump of vagus nerves. Postoperatively, group C was intraperitoneally injected with NGF (20 μg/kg·d), while groups A and B were given matching sal ine solution. Twelve weeks later, cardiac function was examined under electrical stimulation of the regenerated nerve. Light and electron microscopies were used to examine the heterogenic regenerated nerve, and the passing rate of axon and thickness of myel in sheath were calculated. Results Under electrical never stimulation in groups A, B, and C, the decreases of blood pressure were (20.12 ± 2.57), (10.63 ± 2.44), and (14.18 ± 2.93) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively; and the decreases of heart rate were (66.77 ± 9.96), (33.44 ± 11.82), and (43.27 ± 11.02)/minutes, respectively. In group B, the decrease ampl itudes of blood pressure and heart rate were 52.83% and50.08% of group A, respectively. Blood pressure and heart rate in group C also decreased dramatically; the decrease ampl itudes of blood pressure and heart rate in group C were 70.48% and 64.80% of group A. There were significant differences in the decrease ampl itudes of blood pressure and heart rate (P lt; 0.05) between group B and group C. Morphological observation showed that heterogenic nerve fibers had the structure of matured myel in sheath and their axons could regenerate into the vagus nerve. In group B and group C, the passing rates of axon were 66.83% ± 4.46% and 81.63% ± 3.56%, respectively; and the thicknesses of myel in sheath were (0.25 ± 0.10) μm and (0.46 ± 0.08) μm, respectively; showing significant differences (P lt; 0.05) between group B and group C. Conclusion Heterogenic nerve is primarily a somatic motor nerve; NGF can promote the axons of heterogenic nerve to regenerate into the parasympathetic nerve.
Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important point to judge a person’s state in modern medicine. This paper is aimed to research a person’s fatigue level connected with vagal nerve based on the HRV using the improved Welch method. The process of this method is that it firstly uses a time window function on the signal to be processed, then sets the length of time according to the requirement, and finally makes frequency domain analysis. Compared with classical periodogram method, the variance and consistency of the present method have been improved. We can set time span freely using this method (at present, the time of international standard to measure HRV is 5 minutes). This paper analyses the HRV’s characteristics of fatigue crowd based on the database provided by PhysioNet. We therefore draw the conclusion that the accuracy of Welch analyzing HRV combining with appropriate window function has been improved enormously, and when the person changes to fatigue, the vagal activity is diminished and sympathetic activity is raised.
