RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE：To study the effects of chrysophanol on the activa tion of microglia and the expression of inflammatory factors in cerebral ischemia model rats. METHODS ：SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group ， model group and chrysophanol high ，medium，low dose groups [7.88，3.94，1.97 mg/（kg·d）]，with 20 rats in each group （the number was complemented in cases of death or unsuccessful modeling during modeling process ）. Except for sham operation group ， middle cerebral artery occlusion model was established in other groups by improved thread method. After 2 hours of ischemia ， sham operation group and model group were intraperitoneally injected with 1 mL normal saline ，and each administration group was intraperitoneally injected with 1 mL corresponding drug ，once a day ，for 7 consecutive days. After last medication ，the score of neurological impairment was recorded ；cerebral infarction of rats was observed by TTC staining ，and the percentage of cerebral infarction area was calculated. The expression of Iba- 1 positive cells in ischemic penumbra of rats was observed by immunofluorescence staining. The expression of Notch- 1，TNF-α and ICAM-1 in the ischemic penumbra of rats were detected by Western blotting assay. RESULTS ：In sham operation group ，there was no infarction area in the brain tissue ，and the Iba- 1 positive cells in the ischemic penumbra were few and branched. Compared with sham operation group ，the infarction area of cerebral tissue in rats was obvious in model group ； the 052）number of Iba- 1 positive cells in ischemic penumbra were 〔ZQ2017003〕） increased significantly ，and they were in amoeba or round shape；the neurological impairment score ，the percentage of cerebral infarction area ， relative expression of Notch- 1， TNF-α and ICAM-1 protein in ischemic penumbra were increased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with m odel rats ，the infarction area of cerebral tissue in each dose group of chrysophanol was reduced to different extent ；the number of Iba- 1 positive cells in ischemic penumbra was decreased ；neurological impairment score ，the percentage of cerebral infarction area ，relative expression of Notch- 1，TNF-α and ICAM-1 protein were significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ：Chrysophanol has a certain protective effect on the brain tissue of cerebral ischemia model rats ，and can relieve the nerve injury. Its mechanism may be associated with inhibiting the activation of microglia and expression of inflammatory factors mediated by Notch pathway.
RESUMEN
Aim To investigate the effect of salvianolate syophilized injection on brain tissue gene expression profiles in stroke of diabetic rats.Methods T1DM was induced in adult male Wistar rats by injecting streptozotocin.T1DM rats were then subjected to 90 minutes of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO).The rats were randomly assigned to sham group(DM+Sham),ischemia-reperfusion group(DM+ MCAO/R),edaravone group(6 mg·kg-1,ED)and salvianolate lyophilized injection treatment group(5.25,10.5,21 mg·kg-1,SLI)with 13 rats in each group.Drugs were administered by tail vein injection 3 hours after MCAO/R,daily and lasting for 14 days.Infarct volume and gene expression in the brain tissue were detected by TTC staining and the gene chip technique.Results Compared with DM+Sham group,67 differential expressed genes were detected in the DM+MCAO/R group,among which 41 genes were up-regulated and 26 genes were down-regulated.Compared with DM+MCAO/R group,59 differential expressed genes were detected in the SLI(21 mg·kg-1)group,among which 45 genes were up-regulated and 14 genes were down-regulated.Hierarchical cluster results suggested that a number of genes were significantly changed in T1DM rats,such as Ly6i,Pax7 and Irx2.Effects of SLI on the stroke in T1DM rats were majorly related to coagulation and hemostasis system,inflammatory cytokines,oxidative stress,substance metabolism,angiogenesis and signal transduction.Conclusion Salvianolate lyophilized injection protects against focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in type 1 diabetic rats through regulation of the coagulation and hemostasis system,inflammatory cytokines,oxidative stress,substance metabolism,angiogenesis and signal transduction.

Objective To investigate the effects of salvianolate lyophilized injection(SLI) on neural functional recovery and the expression of microtubule associated protein-2(MAP2) after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in the diabetic rats.Methods Diabetes model was made by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model was developed by Longa suture occluded method in the middle cerebral artery of diabetic rats.The rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham operation group, model group, SLI (21.0 mg.kg-1,10.5 mg.kg-1) treatment groups, and edaravone (6 mg.kg-1) treatment group.3 hours after ischemia,rats were respectively given normal saline or drugs followed by the injection once a day for 14 days and the neurological impairment was assessed.2 h after the last injection,the rats were decapitated and the brains were collected.The expression of MAP2 protein and mRNA in the bilateral hippocampal ischemia and infarcted area was detected with immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR.Results Severe neurological dysfunction was found in diabetic rats that had been subjected to cerebral ischemic injury (1.850±0.457).A significant improvement on neurological function was found in the SLI treatment groups (1.581 ± 0.314, 1.345 ± 0.425) compared with model group(P＜0.01, P＜0.05).Moreover,the expression of MAP2 in ischemia bilateral hippocampal CA1 and penumbra was represented by the average optical density value respectively (0.743±0.250,0.561± 0.224).In the hippocampal CA1 region, the number of MAP2-positive cells (0.781 ± 0.420 , 0.851 ± 0.136) in the treatment group showed significant increase than those in model group (P＜0.01, P＜0.05).In the ischemic penumbra region,the number of MAP2-positive cells (0.753±0.235,1.203±0.326) in the treatment group showed significant increase than those in model group (P＜0.01, P＜0.05).Conclusion The SLI can promote the post-injury neurocognitive function in diabetic rats.The increase of MAP2 expression may be involved in the mechanisms.
