ABSTRACT
Objective To illustrate the effect of Madopar on nerve cell apoptosis of rats with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods Hemi-lateral PD model was made by injecting 6-OHDA into the black substance of the right side of the brain and treated with Madopar. At the same time,the normal group and sham-operation group were set up,and TUNEL staining and transmission electro-speculum were employed to observe the apoptosis of nerve cells. Results The TUNEL positive cells(23.50?3.85) were significantly less than the model group(37.83?6.46) and the comparison of apoptosis cells counting showed marked difference( P
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Chinese and western medicine integration on the spinning behavior of rats with Parkinson disease. METHODS: Model of the lateral Parkinson disease was made with injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into the black substance of the right side of the brain, and the model rats were treated with madopar and Chinese herbs for nourishing the liver and kidney, clearing collaterals and detoxification. The rat's spinning behavior was observed, and was compared with the normal control group, madopar group and sham-operation group at the same time. RESULTS: Chinese and western medicine integration could obviously reduce the spinning circles of the rats. CONCLUSION: Chinese and western medicine integration can significantly improve the spinning behavior of the model rats.
