中文摘要: 发作性睡病(Narcolepsy)是以发作性嗜睡、猝倒、睡瘫与入睡性幻觉为主要临床特点的一种疑难病,近几年呈上升趋势,严重影响人类生活质量。研究表明,Hypocretin相关分子通路异常是发作性睡病发生的重要原因之一,是未来药物治疗的重要靶点,目前已有一些文献报道,中药处理可以影响Hypocretin相关分子通路。中药醒神通窍汤(复方)是承传北京市上一代名老中医临床经验、基于发作性睡病阴阳失衡、神蒙窍闭的病机而制定的方剂,对于发作性睡病有较好的临床疗效,其中部分单味药已证明具有影响Hypocretin相关分子通路的作用。为了深入了解中药醒神通窍汤治疗发作性睡病的分子机制,本研究拟利用细胞和动物研究体系从分子、细胞和动物水平系统分析中药醒神通窍汤影响Hypocretin相关分子通路的分子机制及治疗睡病的一些可能作用机制,为研究中医治疗该病的作用机制提供新思路,并为指导临床用药提供依据。

英文摘要: Narcolepsy is an obstinate neurological disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, cataplexy, hypnagonic hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and disturbed nocturnal sleep patterns. The malfunction of the signaling pathways of hypocretin is proved to play a great role in the pathogenesis of narcolepsy, and it is confirmed that the hypocretin system can be influenced by Chinese herbal therapy. Xingshentongiqao decoction (XSTQ), a significantly effective TCM preparation for narcolepsy, is made based on the basic pathogenesis of the imbalance of yin and yang for narcolepsy, some herbs of which were proved to have active effects targeting the signaling pathways of hypocretin. For providing new methods for therapies and mechanisms of drug action on narcolepsy, the molecular biological methods were used to investigate the molecular mechanism of XSTQ for narcolepsy targeting the signaling pathways of hypocretin.
