RESUMO
@#ObjectiveTo study the effects of Jiawei Buyang Huanwu Decoction on learning and memory abilities of mice exposed to 130 dB infrasound (16 Hz). Methods80 BALB/c mice were divided into blank-control group, infrasound-control group, infrasound and drug-treated group (it was divided into 3 sub-groups according to dose). Learning and memory abilities were measured 14 d later. ResultsCompared with blank-control group, learning and memory abilities decreased (P<0.05) in infrasound-control group. Compared with infrasound-control group, learning and memory abilities increased(P<0.01) in infrasound and drug-treated group. Conclusion16 Hz,130 dB infrasound could damage learning and memory abilities. Jiawei Buyang Huanwu Decoction could protect mice from learning and memory harm exposed to the infrasound.
