ABSTRACT
【Objective】To observe the effect of Moschus combined with Borneol on brain water content and blood-brain barrier(BBB)permeability in rat model of cerebral focal ischemia with reperfusion.【Methods】Thirty SD rats were randomized into 6 groups: sham-operation group,model group,Moschus(1 mg?kg-1?d-1)group,Borneol(3 mg?kg-1?d-1)group,Moschus with Borneol group,nimodipine(12 mg?kg-1?d-1)group.The rat model of cerebral focal ischemia with reperfusion was established with method of putting nylon monofilament in the internal carotid artery.The brain water content was evaluated by detecting the wet weight and dry weight of brain.The detection of cerebral extra-vascular Evans blue(EB)content was used to observe the changes of BBB permeability.【Results】After cerebral ischemia for 2 hours and reperfusion for 24 hours,water content and EB content in the model group increased significantly compared with the pseudo-operation group(P
ABSTRACT
To investigate the effect of treatment based on syndrome differentiation combined with resuscitation inducing aromatic herbs for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Forty four cases of AIS were randomly allocated to two groups. Twenty cases of Group A were treated with treatment based on syndrome differentiation combined with Tongqiao capsule(each capsule containing Moschus 0 04?g and Borneolum 0 1?g)and twenty four of Group B with treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Therapeutic effect were observed in the second week after medication. The total effective rate was 95% in Group A and 91 6% in Group B, the difference being not significant. However, the difference of markedly effective rate (80 0% in Group A and 54 2% in Group B) was significant (P
ABSTRACT
【Objective】To study the correlation of human leucocyte antigen(HLA) class Ⅱ allele with spleen-stomach damp-heat(SSDH) syndrome.【Methods】From those people with native place of Guangdong,16 healthy volunteers served as the normal control and 46 patients with chronic superficial gastritis or digestive ulceration were enrolled into the observation.Of 46 patients,26 were classified into SSDH and 20 into spleen deficiency(SD) syndrome.HLA-DRB1,HLA-DQA1,HLA-DQB1,and HLADPB1 alleles of HLA class Ⅱ from whole blood sample were analyzed by the method of polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers(PCR-SSP).【Results】The gene frequency of DQA1*0103 in SSDH group was remarkably higher than that in the normal control group(P
ABSTRACT
[Objective] To investigate the effect of aromatic herbs for resuscitation such as Moschus and Borneol on nitric oxide (NO) content and expression of endothelial NO synthetase (eNOS) and inducible NO synthetase (iNOS) in brain tissue of rats with cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury. [Methods] Forty rats were allocated to 4 groups: mimic operation group (Group A), model group (Group B), herbs treatment group (Group C) and nimodipine treatment group (Group D). Rat model of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury was established by Pulsinelli 4VO method. NO content in brain tissue was determined by nitrate reductase method. Expression of eNOS and iNOS in micrangium and iNOS in neurons was measured by semi-quantitative analysis. [Results] NO content was decreased and approached normal level in Group C and Group D (P 0.05 as compared with Group A). Aromatic herbs with action of inducing resuscitation increased the expression of eNOS in micrangium and decreased the expression of iNOS in micrangium and neurons, the differences being significant as compared with those in Group B ( P
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the effect of treatment based on syndrome differentiation only and combined with Shexiang Baoxin Pill for acute ischemic stroke(AIS). METHODS: Fifty-eight cases of AIS were randomly (allocated) to two groups.Thirty cases of group A were treated with treatment based on syndrome differentiation combined with Shexiang Baoxin Pill and twenty-eight cases of group B with the treatment based on syndrone differentiation. Therapeutic effects were observed in one month after medication. RESULTS: The total effective rate was 90% in group A and 89.3% in group B, the difference being not significant. However, the difference of markedly-effective rate was significant (P
