BACKGROUND: Insidious cumulative brain injury from motor vehicle-induced
whole-body vibration (MV-WBV) has not yet been studied. The objective of the
present study is to validate whether whole-body vibration for long periods causes
cumulative brain injury and impairment of the cerebral function. We also explored
a preventive method for MV-WBV injury. METHODS: A study simulating whole-body
vibration was conducted in 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats divided into 9 groups (N =
8): (1) 2-week normal control; (2) 2-week sham control (in the tube without
vibration); (3) 2-week vibration (exposed to whole-body vibration at 30 Hz and .5
G acceleration for 4 hours/day, 5 days/week for 2 weeks; vibration parameters in
the present study are similar to the most common driving conditions); (4) 4-week
sham control; (5) 4-week vibration; (6) 4-week vibration with human
apolipoprotein A-I molecule mimetic (4F)-preconditioning; (7) 8-week sham
control; (8) 8-week vibration; and (9) 8-week 4F-preconditioning group. All the
rats were evaluated by behavioral, physiological, and histological studies of the
brain. RESULTS: Brain injury from vibration is a cumulative process starting with
cerebral vasoconstriction, squeezing of the endothelial cells, increased free
radicals, decreased nitric oxide, insufficient blood supply to the brain, and
repeated reperfusion injury to brain neurons. In the 8-week vibration group,
which indicated chronic brain edema, shrunken neuron numbers increased and whole
neurons atrophied, which strongly correlated with neural functional impairment.
There was no prominent brain neuronal injury in the 4F groups. CONCLUSIONS: The
present study demonstrated cumulative brain injury from MV-WBV and validated the
preventive effects of 4F preconditioning.
