RESUMO
To investigate the effect of treatment based on syndrome differentiation combined with resuscitation inducing aromatic herbs for acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Forty four cases of AIS were randomly allocated to two groups. Twenty cases of Group A were treated with treatment based on syndrome differentiation combined with Tongqiao capsule(each capsule containing Moschus 0 04?g and Borneolum 0 1?g)and twenty four of Group B with treatment based on syndrome differentiation. Therapeutic effect were observed in the second week after medication. The total effective rate was 95% in Group A and 91 6% in Group B, the difference being not significant. However, the difference of markedly effective rate (80 0% in Group A and 54 2% in Group B) was significant (P
RESUMO
[Objective] To investigate the effect of aromatic herbs for resuscitation such as Moschus and Borneol on nitric oxide (NO) content and expression of endothelial NO synthetase (eNOS) and inducible NO synthetase (iNOS) in brain tissue of rats with cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury. [Methods] Forty rats were allocated to 4 groups: mimic operation group (Group A), model group (Group B), herbs treatment group (Group C) and nimodipine treatment group (Group D). Rat model of cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury was established by Pulsinelli 4VO method. NO content in brain tissue was determined by nitrate reductase method. Expression of eNOS and iNOS in micrangium and iNOS in neurons was measured by semi-quantitative analysis. [Results] NO content was decreased and approached normal level in Group C and Group D (P 0.05 as compared with Group A). Aromatic herbs with action of inducing resuscitation increased the expression of eNOS in micrangium and decreased the expression of iNOS in micrangium and neurons, the differences being significant as compared with those in Group B ( P
