치매모델 쥐의 과제지향 훈련이 인지기능 회복과 중추신경계 가소성에 미치는 영향 = Effect of Task-oriented Training on Cognitive Function Recovery and CNS Plasticity in Scopolamine-induced Dementia Rats

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objective : The purpose of this study is to repeatedly conduct task-oriented training in scopolamine-induced dementia rats and as a result observe changes in the content of acetylcholine, a marker of cognitive function and central nervous system plasticity, to identify the improvement effect of dementia.
Methods : It consisted of two groups. One group I was that did not perform task-oriented training in scopolamine-induced dementia rats and the other group II was that performed task-oriented training. Task-oriented training involved stretching, grasping and moving arms and walking obstacles on the legs. We performed a quantified passive avoidance test in the measurement of memory for cognitive function and compared the change in the content of acetylcholine for the plasticity of the central nervous system.
Results : The results of the study are as follows: First, there was a significant improvement in cognitive function since the 4th days after task-oriented training of scopolamine-induced dementia rats(.00). Second, task-oriented training applied to scopolamine-induced dementia rats showed a significant increase in acetylcholine content.
Conclusion : In this study, task-oriented training, which is often performed on senile dementia patients during occupational therapy intervention, was scientifically demonstrated in scopolamine-induced dementia rats by enhancement of cognitive function through memory improvement and increase in the content of acetylcholine confirming central nervous system plasticity.

목적 : 본 연구는 치매모델 쥐에게 과제지향 훈련을 반복적으로 실시하고 그 결과로 인지기능과 중추신경계 가소성의 한 지표 물질인 아세틸콜린의 함량 변화를 관찰하여 치매의 개선 효과를 확인하는데 그 목적이 있다.
연구방법 : 스코폴라민을 투여한 치매모델 쥐에게 과제지향 훈련을 수행하지 않은 실험군Ⅰ과 과제지향 훈련을 수행한 실험군Ⅱ으로 구성하였다. 과제지향 훈련은 앞발의 뻗기, 잡기, 옮기기를 적용하였고 장애물 보행을 실시하였다. 인지기능은 기억력의 측정에 정량화된 수동회피검사를 실시하였고 중추신경계 가소성의 변화는 아세틸콜린의 함량의 변화를 비교하였다.
결과 : 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 스코폴라민을 투여한 치매모델 쥐의 과제지향 훈련을 실시한 후 4일부터 인지기능의 유의미한 향상이 있었다(.00). 둘째, 스코폴라민을 투여한 치매모델 쥐에 적용한 과제지향 훈련은 아세틸콜린 함량의 유의미한 증가를 보였다(.00).
결론 : 본 연구에서는 작업치료 중재 중 임상에서 노인성 치매환자에게 많이 수행하고 있는 과제지향 훈련을 치매모델 쥐에게 수행함으로서 기억력 개선을 통한 인지기능 향상과 중추신경계 가소성을 확인할 수 있는 아세틸콜린의 함량 증가를 과학적으로 입증하였다.
