ABSTRACT
Aim To observe the neuroprotective effect of platelet activating factor receptor antagonist Kadsurenone on rat brain with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Methods Animal model was established through middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO).we studied the changes of infarct volume,NAA and Lactate in Kadsurenone-treated group with DWI and()~1H-MRS examination after cerebral ischemia 60 min and reperfusion 1,3,6 h.Results Significant reductions in infarct volume were found in the Kadsurenone-treated group as well as in the Ginkgolides-treated group compared with the control group.And Kadsurenone decreased the concentration of lactate and prevented the decline of the concentration of NAA after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Conclusion As platelet-activating factor receptor antagonists,both Kadsurenone and Ginkgolides show remarkable neuroprotective effect.And MRI offers exact neuroimaging information for studying the neuroprotective meachnism of Chinese traditional medicine after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.
