主要學術成就
長期從事病理性疼痛的中樞和外周機制的研究。在SCI收錄的期刊上發表二十餘篇研究論文,被引用近500次。主要學術成就包括:
(1) 首次報導了脊髓背角C纖維誘發電位的長時程增強(LTP)。發現激動NMDA、NK1和NK2受體是誘導LTP的必要條件;自然痛刺激可引起C纖維誘發電位的LTP,但在正常情況下受到下行抑制系統的抑制。該LTP被認為是痛覺過敏的基礎; 發現脊髓LTP的早期維持與PKA、PKC和CaMKII的激活有關,而脊髓LTP的晚期需要新的蛋白質合成;多巴胺D1/D5受體在LTP的晚期維持中起重要作用。
(2) 發現電刺激Aδ纖維在正常動物引起C纖維誘發電位的LTD, 然而同樣的刺激在脊動物引起LTP, 證實下行抑制系統決定脊髓背角突觸傳遞可塑性變化的方向。
(3) 率先證實,神經損傷引起的背根神經節神經元的異常放電主要來自於支配肌肉的神經元。在神經損傷的情況下,未被損傷的神經元也產生異常放電。
(4) 發現運動神經(腰5前根)損傷引起同側背根神經節和雙側側脊髓背角TNF-a及其受體1(TNFR1)上調,並證實TNF-a參與病理性疼痛的形成而不參與其維持。在正常動物不同濃度(10pg/ml、4.5ng/ml和100ng/ml)的TNF-a不影響強直刺激引起的脊髓背角LTP,然而,在腰5前根引起痛覺過敏的動物,小劑量的TNF-a(10 pg/ml)就可引起脊髓背角C纖維誘發電位的LTP。TNF-a通過激活NFkB、JNK和P38而發揮作用。
