ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Shenxiong-Huayu Capsule preconditioning on cell apoptosis and the expression of c-fos、c-jun in the hippocampal CA1 area of rats with acute cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.Methods SD rats were divided into 3 groups by completely randomized method:sham operation group(n=6),ischemia reperfusion group (model group),and Shenxiong-Huayu Capsule preconditioning group (preconditioning group).The last two groups were divided randomly into 6 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h reperfusion subgroups (each n=6).Intragastric administration for 7 days,once a day.Middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfushion model was made by an intraluminal filament method.Cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL method,the expression of c-fos、c-jun was observed by immunohistochemistry.Results ① The number of apoptosic cells at 6、24、48、72hin the hippocampal CA1 area ofrats was respectively (11.17±3.71、39.83 ± 5.67、48.33± 5.32 and 22.17± 3.7 1) single/High power field in the model group,and was respectively (7.83±2.04、15.00±3.58、29.50±6.89 and 10.17±2.32) single/High power field in Shenxiong-Huayu Capsule preconditioning group.Compared with the model group,the number of apoptosic cells at each time point in the hippocampal CA1 area of rats was decreased in Shenxiong-Huayu Capsule preconditioning group(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).② The number ofc-fos at 6、24、48、72 h in the hippocampal CA1 area of rats was respectively (14.50± 3.45、33.67± 1.63、42.33±3.32 and 32.00 ±2.90) single/High power field in the model group,and was respectively (10.17 ± 2.93、21.50 ± 2.43、30.83 ± 3.76 and 25.17 ± 5.27) single/High power field in Shenxiong-Huayu Capsule preconditioning group.The number of c-jun at 6、24、48、72 h in the hippocampal CA1 area of rats was respectively (15.50±4.19、22.83±5.64、33.10±4.19 and 14.67±3.08) single/High power field in the model group,and was respectively (9.67± 3.63、15.67±2.73、21.26±3.63 and 9.33 ±3.61)single/High power field in Shenxiong-Huayu Capsule preconditioning group.Compared with the model group,the expression of c-fos、c-jun at each time point in the hippocampal CA1 area of rats was decreased in Shenxiong-Huayu Capsule preconditioning group (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).ConclusionShenxiong-Huayu capsule can inhibit apoptosis by restraining the expression of c-fos、c-jun and relive cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Shenxiong-Huayu capsule on the expression of NF-κB p65 in CA1 area of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats.Methods 40 SD rata were evenly divided into 4 groups:normal control group,sham-operation group,model group and Shenxiong-Huayu capsule intervention group.Established vascular dementia rat models by common carotid artery repeatedly occlusion and sodium nitroprusside intraperitoneal injection.The learning and memory abilities of rats were detected by Morris water maze; the expression of NF-κB p65 was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results ① The expression of NF-κB p65 in the CA1 area of hippocampus was increased in the model group than in the sham-operation group and normal control group (P＜0.01).② The expression of NF-κB p65 in the CA1 area of hippocampus was decreased in the Shenxiong-Huayu capsule intervention group than in the model group (P＜0.01).Conclusion Shenxiong-Huayu capsule can reduce the expression of NF-κB p65 protein in CA1 area of hippocampus and improve the learning and memory abilities in vascular dementia rats.
