RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of Fujian Tablets(FT),a prescription with the actions of nourishing liver and kidney,on the expression of microtubule-associated protein 2(MAP-2) in cerebral infarction rats at different time points,and to explore its mechanism on promoting nerve cell differentiation.Methods A total of 240 male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into normal control group,sham-operation group,model group and FT group.Focal cerebral ischemia models were established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery according to the reformed Longa method in rats,and were subdivided into 3-,7-,14-,28-,and 42-day cerebral infarction subgroups.FT group was given FT in the dose of 9 g?kg-1?d-1,and the other groups were given the same dose of distilled water.Results In the model group,MAP-2 expression in the hippocampus increased and reached a peak on day 3,which were notably different from that in the normal control group(P0.05).In FT group,MAP-2 expression increased on day 3,reached a peak on day 7,remained high level till day 14,and then decreased,the difference being significant compared with the model group(P
