“…It has been verified that neurotrophins play a vital role in NSC proliferation, neurogenesis, neuroplasticity, and even BBB remodeling (Maejima et al, 2019;Yang et al, 2020). The present study showed that both LCH and BO upregulated the expression of BDNF.…”

Background:Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort (LCH) is a famous ethnomedicine in Asia known for its excellent output on stroke treatment, and borneol usually acts as an assistant for its reducing permeability of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) after stroke. Although their synergy against brain ischemia was verified in previous studies, the potential mechanism is still unknown.Methods: The research aimed to explore the exact synergic mechanisms between LCH and borneol on neurogenesis within the areas of the dentate gyrus and subventricular zone. After treating middle cerebral artery occlusion rats with LCH (0.1 g/kg) and/or borneol (0.08 g/kg), the neurological severity score, brain infarct ratio, Nissl staining, Evans blue permeability, BBB ultrastructure, and expressions of von Willebrand factor and tight junction–associated proteins were measured. Co-localizations of Nestin+/BrdU+ and doublecortin+/BrdU+, and expressions of neuronal nuclei (NeuN) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were observed under a fluorescence microscope. Moreover, astrocyte polarization markers of complement component 3 and pentraxin 3, and relevant neurotrophins were also detected by immunoblotting.Results: Basically, LCH and borneol had different focuses, although both of them decreased infarct areas, and increased quantity of Nissl bodies and expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. LCH increased the neurological severity score, NeuN+ cells, and the ratios of Nestin+/BrdU+ and doublecortin+/BrdU+, and decreased GFAP+ cells and ciliary neurotrophic factor expression. Additionally, it regulated the expressions of complement component 3 and pentraxin 3 to transform astrocyte phenotypes. Borneol improved BBB ultrastructure and increased the expressions of von Willebrand factor, tight junction–associated proteins, vascular endothelial growth factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. Unexpectedly, their combined therapy showed more obvious regulations on the Nissl score, Evans blue permeability, doublecortin+/BrdU+, NeuN+ cells, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and vascular endothelial growth factor than both of their monotherapies.Conclusions: The results indicated that LCH and borneol were complementary to each other in attenuating brain ischemia by and large. LCH mainly promoted neural stem cell proliferation, neurogenesis, and mature neuron preservation, which was probably related to the transformation of reactive astrocytes from A1 subtype to A2, while borneol preferred to maintain the integrity of the BBB, which provided neurogenesis with a homeostatic environment.

“…Therapeutic exercise has been performed for such FM patients ( Andrade et al, 2017 ). Therapeutic exercise potentially stimulates the central nervous system ( Maejima et al, 2019 ) and muscular contraction (as part of the peripheral nervous system) ( Vlietstra et al, 2018 ), as well as cardiovascular ( Vlietstra et al, 2018 ), and autonomic systems ( Pearson and Smart, 2018 ). The exercise regimen contains either active or resistive exercises.…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of pool gait exercise using fibromyalgia-induced model mice. The sensory threshold, locomotive behavior, electrocardiogram, and onset time after the gait test in shallow water using male C57BL/6J mice (weight, 30-35 g; n= 21) were investigated. To induce fibromyalgia in model mice, reserpine was injected intraperitoneally into wild-type mice once a day for 3 days. Subsequently, the fibromyalgia-induced model mice were randomly classified into two groups as follows: the control group (n= 11) and the pool gait group (n= 10). The mice in the pool gait group walked in the same cage containing shallow warm water 5 times per week. Both groups underwent sensory thresholds and video recordings to determine locomotive behaviors weekly. Further, both heart rate and video recordings for observation of a recovery after the gait test in shallow water were undertaken (control group; n= 5, pool gait group; n= 5). The pool gait did not affect sensory thresholds and locomotive behavior; however, in the pool gait group, both the recovery after the test, such as onset time and gait distance, were considerably better than those of the control group. Furthermore, changes in heart rate and heart rate irregularity after the test were more apparent in the control group than in the pool gait group. The free gait in a shallow pool accelerated recovery after exercise, unlike the sensory threshold.
