RESUMEN
Objective To observe the effects of Bushen Yizhi Decociton (BYD) on somatostatin-like (SS-like)neurons in hippocampal gyrus of rat models with Alzheimer's disease(AD). Methods Fifteen-month_old AD rat models were established by intraperitoneral injection of D-galactose for 4 weeks combined with ibotenic acid injection into bilateral nucleus basalis of Meynert. AD model rats were randomly allocated to AD model group(Group C), Hup-A treatment group(Group D) and BYD treatment groups (Group E and Group F,treated with high dosage and low dosage respectively), and 10 normal aged rats (Group B)and 10 normal youth rats (Group A)served as the normal control groups. The methods of immunohistochemistry and dig_labeling c-DNA probe in situ hibridization were used to detect the number of SS-like immunoreactive positive and SS mRNA expressed positive neurons in hippocampal CA1 and CA3 fields and the dentate gyrus. Results The number and optic density of SS-like immunoreactive positive and SS mRNA expressed positive neurons were higher in BYD treatment groups than those in Group C (P
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with Guishen Decoction (GD) on serum antisperm antibody (ASAb) level of rat models with immunological infertility. Methods Active immunization was used to establish rat models with positive serum ASAb. Eighty SD rats were alloc ated to four group s: Group A (treated with acupuncture and GD), Group B( treated with GD), Group C (treated with acupuncture), Group D (model control group). GD is composed of Ra dix Re hmanniae Praeparata, Semen Cuscutae, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi, Rhizoma Dioscorae, Fructus Lycii, Ramulus Loranthi, etc.. Results The negative rate of serum A SAb in Group A was significant higher than that in Group B and Group C (P
