Methods Locomotor activity was measured every 10 min for 1 h after subcutaneous injection of heroin. FosB expression was assayed by immunohistochemistry, and the antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ONs) targeting M5 muscarinic receptor was transferred with the lipofectin. Results Microinjection of AS-ONs targeting M5 muscarinic receptor in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) blocked the expression of behavioral sensitization induced by heroin priming in rats. Meanwhile, the expression of FosB-positive neurons in either the NAc or the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocam- pus increased in heroin-induced locomotor sensitized rats. The enhancement of FosB-positive neurons in the NAc or DG could be inhibited by microinjection of M5 muscarinic receptor AS-ONs into the VTA before the heroin-induced locomotor sensitization was performed. In contrast, microinjection of M5 muscarinic receptor sense oligonucleotide (S-ONs) into the VTA did not block the expression of behavioral sensitization or the expression of FosB in the NAc or DG in the heroin sensitized rats. Conclusion Blocking M5 muscarinic receptor in the VTA inhibits the expression of heroin-induced locomotor sensitization, which is associated with the regulation of FosB expression in the NAc and hippocampus neurons. M5 muscarinic receptor may be a useful pharmacological target for the treatment of heroin addiction.展开更多

The model of ALI was established by intravenous injection of heroin into tail vein in rats. Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into heroin-treated groups (1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h and 24 h) and normal control group. Changes in histopathologic morphology and biological markers of ALI were measured. The expression of ICAM-1 in lung tissue was detected by using immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. The results showed that the W/D ratio and protein contents in BALF of the heroin-treated groups were significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01). The histopathological changes in the lung tissue were more obvious in heroin-treated groups. The ICAM-1 protein and mRNA expression in the lung tissue of heroin-treated groups were significantly increased as compared with that of the control group (P<0.01), and correlated with the ALI parameters in a time-dependent manner. Increasing of ICAM-1 expression was involved in the formation of heroin-induced lung injury. Furthermore, the level of expression was positively correlated with the severity of lung injury.展开更多

The data were collected by the self-report questionnaires. The reliability analysis included Cronbach's a coefficient, split reliability and test-retest reliability, while construction validity was analyzed in the light of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Based upon the exploratory factor analysis, 4 factors were extracted, which were social emotion cue (SEC), direct implement cue (DIC), personnel cue (PC) and indirect implement cue (IIC) and they together explained 64.52% variance. According to the data, test-retest reliability coefficient ranged from 0.57 to 0.63, and Cronbach's α coefficient ranged from 0.86 to 0.95 across the 4 factors and HACSQ. The adjusted goodness of fit index was 0.75. It was suggested that the HACSQ demonstrated good validities and reliabilities, and may be used as a reliable assessment tool for the cue-sensitization among the heroin abstainers.展开更多

In this study, we performed independent component analysis of blood oxygenation signals from 14 heroin users and 13 matched normal controls in the resting state through functional MRI scans. Results showed that the default mode network was significantly activated in the prefrontal lobe, posterior cingulated cortex and hippocampus of heroin users, and an enhanced activation signal was observed in the right inferior parietal Iobule (P 〈 0.05, corrected for false discovery rate). Experimental findings indicate that the default mode network is altered in heroin users.展开更多

文摘目的探索美沙酮维持治疗(methadone maintenance treatment,MMT)对海洛因依赖(heroin dependence,HD)患者大脑拓扑特性度中心性(degree centrality,DC)的影响及其与心理行为学的相关性。材料与方法回顾性分析2016年1月至2017年12月于西安市灞桥区美沙酮门诊招募的41名正在接受MMT的HD患者,采集静息态功能磁共振成像(functional magnetic resonance imaging,fMRI)数据,评估稽延性戒断症状与渴求评分,纵向随访一年。对影像数据进行DC分析,并采用配对样本t检验进行纵向比较,差异脑区与心理学指标进行相关分析。结果HD患者入组时与MMT一年后稽延性戒断症状评分差异存在统计学意义(Z=3.004,P=0.003),渴求评分差异无统计学意义(Z=0.872,P=0.383)。与基线相比,HD患者经过MMT一年后,双侧丘脑、尾状核、壳核与左侧苍白球的DC降低;右侧舌回与距状回的DC值升高(Gaussian random field校正,单体素水平P<0.001,团块体素水平P<0.01,团块体素>95)。双侧尾状核及左侧苍白球DC值与戒断症状呈负相关性(r=-0.417,P=0.030;r=-0.392,P=0.043;r=-0.383,P=0.049),双侧壳核及左侧苍白球DC值的变化量与渴求的变化量呈正相关性(r=0.410,P=0.008;r=0.332,P=0.034;r=0.395,P=0.011)。结论美沙酮可能通过降低HD患者纹状体在成瘾奖赏脑网络中的中心性,从而调节HD患者戒毒后的稽延性戒断症状与心理渴求;同时可能抑制了冲动性,增强了视觉核心脑区的活动。该研究结果可以为美沙酮对HD患者治疗的神经机制提供影像学依据。
