ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of Qifuyin on learning and memory ability and expression of somatostatin in hippocampus on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rats. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group, sham operation control group, model group, donepezil group and Qifuyin group. The AD model was established by microinjection of A?1-42 into the bilateral hippocampus. The learning and memory ability of rats were evaluated with a series of tasks to find a hidden platform in Morris Water Maze. The expression levels of somatostatin in hippocampus were measured by immunohistochemical SP techniques. Results In the place navigation test, the mean escape latencies of the model group was obviously increased compared with sham operation control group (P
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the effect of Tongluo Jiunao oral solution on learning and memory and the expression of AChE in hippocampus of AD rats induced by ?-amyloid1-40.Methods: 140 SD rats were divided into blank control group(normal group),pseudo-operation control group,negtive control group(model group),positive control group and experiment group(48、24、12mg?kg-1?d-1)at random.The model of AD were established by injecting ?-amyloid1-40 into bilateral hippocampus.After 4 weeks,Morris Water Maze was used to determine the ability of learning and memory.Immunohistochemical method and image analysis techniques were used to determine the expression of AChE in Hippocampus.Results: Compared with normal group,in place navigation test,the mean escape latencies of the model group increased obviously,and in spatial probe test,the frequency of passing through the platform of the model group decreased obviously(P
