Abstract:
ObjectiveTo observe the effects of different doses of Xuebijing on cerebral cortex apoptosis factors bcl-2 and bax in rats at early stage after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods Thirty-two healthy SD rats aged 12 weeks were divided into four groups by using a random number table method (each,n = 8); all the rats were intubated through the opening of tracheotomy, and the blood pressure was measured through the left/right femoral artery catheter. Asphyxiation was applied to rats, resulting in cardiac arrest (CA), and then cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was carried out. After restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), 0.9% normal saline 8 mL/kg, 0.9% normal saline 4 mL/kg + Xuebijing 4 mL/kg, 0.9% normal saline 2 mL/kg + Xuebijing 6 mL/kg and Xuebijing 8 mL/kg were given to model group, Xuebijing low dose group, middle dose group and high dose group respectively. The rat body weight, time of CA, CPR-ROSC time, ROSC ratio and the amounts of dopamine and 0.9% saline used in 24 hours were recorded. The positive protein expression levels of bcl-2 and bax in rat cerebral cortex and the ratio of bcl-2/bax was measured at 24 hours after ROSC.Results Compared with the model group, the amount of 0.9% normal saline (mL: 4.2±1.2, 2.6±1.0, 2.5±1.0 vs. 5.5±1.1,P < 0.05) and of dopamine used in 24 hours (μg: 1865±189, 1376±197, 1215±145 vs. 3526±141,P < 0.05), the levels of positive protein expression of bcl-2 (%: 33.4±4.3, 25.5±4.6, 26.1±4.2 vs. 38.5±5.1), and of bax at 24 hours after ROSC (%: 39.5±4.3, 32.8±3.8, 31.9±3.7 vs. 44.3±5.1) and the ratio of bcl-2/bax (0.87±0.16, 0.72±0.13, 0.71±0.14 vs. 0.89±0.11) was significantly decreased in low, middle and high dose groups (allP < 0.05). Compared with the low dose group, the amount of 0.9% normal saline and dopamine used in 24 hours, protein expression levels of bcl-2 and bax at 24 hours and the ratio of bcl-2/bax in middle dose and high dose groups were all lower than those in low dose group (allP < 0.05).Conclusion Xuebibing 6 mL/kg applied at early stage after CPR in rats may show relatively good protective effect on cerebral cortex.
