RESUMEN
Aim This was to study the effects of hydroxysafflor yellow A(HYSA)on iNOS expression in rats following focal cerebral ischemia. Methods Rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion. The expression levels of iNOS were examined using immunohistochemical method. The neurological outcome and the cerebral infarct area were evaluated. Results The expression levels of iNOS in HYSA groups were significantly lower than those in ischemic model group. Treatment with HYSA also decreased the cerebral infarct area and the neurological deficit score. Conclusion HYSA induced down regulation of iNOS expression, which may mediate the protective effect of HYSA on cerebral ischemia.
RESUMEN
Objective: To study the pharmacological effects of Zhong Feng Kang on model mice with cerebral ischemia and after restoration of blood flow. Methods: To make the model of cerebral ischemia and after restoration of blood flow with thread embolism, and measure the area of cerebral infarction and observe cerebral pathologic change. Results: Zhong Feng Kang could reduce the area of cerebral infarction, improve cerebral pathologic change on model mice. Conclusion: The results confirmed that the clinical data of Zhongfengkang would provide a basis of pharmaceutical application
