RESUMEN
Objective To observe the effect and mechanism of extracts of Liangxue Tongyu Recipe(LTR) on acute cerebral hemorrhage rats. Methods Twelve SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, LTR water-extract group and LTR alcohol-extract group. Rats of sham operation group were injected with 2μL of normal saline into the left caudate nucleus, and rats of the other groups were injected with 2μL (0.25 U/ μL) of type Ⅶ collagenase into the left caudate nucleus to induce the model of acute cerebral hemorrhage. And then the rats of LTR groups were given intra-gastric gavage of LTR water-extract or LTR alcohol-extract. At the end of the experiment, we observed the macroscopic features of rat brain, pathological changes in rat brain under microscope after HE staining, awake time, rectal temperature, neurobehavioral scores and serum-specific enolase (NSE) level. Results Rats except for the sham operation group had various degrees of right hemiplegia symptoms, and the symptoms became severest on the third day of experiment. LTR alcohol-extract group and water-extract group had an effect on improving neurobehavioral scores, shortening awake time, and decreasing rectal temperature and serum NSE level of model rats. Conclusion LTR alcohol-extract and water-extract can relieve acute cerebral hemorrhage induced by type Ⅶcollagenase .
RESUMEN
Aim To evaluate the protective effects of salvianolic acid B on the ISO-induced myocardial is-chemic injury model of rats and the influence of regula-ting NLRP3 associated protein on myocardial ischemia. Method All rats were randomly divided into control group, model group and Sal B 5, 10, 15 mg · kg-1 groups. For 7 days, rats in Sal B groups were given by introperitoneal injection of 5, 10, 15 mg·kg-1 Sal B, rats in control group and model group were given the same volume of normal saline. Rats were subcutane-ously multi-point injected ISO ( 30 mg · kg-1 ) for 2 days on the fifth administrating day. The myocardial protective effect of Sal B was evaluated from electrocar-diogram( ECG), myocardial tissue pathological chan-ges, serum myocardial enzymes, oxidation index and inflammatory cytokine, myocardial tissue of NLRP3 related protein expression. Results Sal B could re-duce the degree of myocardial tissue necrosis and the infiltration of inflammatory cells, reduce T-wave values of ECG(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Compared with model group, CK values, GOT values and IL-1β values of rats in different dose groups were significantly lower, and MDA values and LDH values of rats in middle-and high-dose groups were significantly lower ( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 ) . However, T-SOD values of rats middle-and high-dose groups were significantly higher ( P <0. 05 or P<0. 01). Meanwhile,the NLRP3, Caspase-1 and IL-1β protein level in myocardial tissue of the rats in different dose groups compared with model group had reduced ( P <0. 05 or P <0. 01 ) . Conclu-sion Sal B has protective effects on myocardial ische-mic rats, its mechanism may be related with inhibition of decreasing the expression of NLRP3 inflammasome associated protein, which can suppress the generation of inflammatory cytokines.
