Abstract:
Objective: To observe the effects of tetramethylpyrazine on the content of tumor necrosis factor?(TNF?) and the activity of myeloperoxidase(MPO) after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats,and to investigate its mechanism of protective effects on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Methods: Thirtysix male SD rats were randomly divided into shamoperated group,model group and(tetramethylpyrazine) group.The thread with embolus was(inserted) in the cerebral(middle) artery in shamoperated group,but the artery was not(embolized).The cerebral ischemia/reperfusion models of rats were established in model group and(tetramethylpyrazine) group,while in the latter group,33 mg/kg of tetramethylpyrazine was(injected)(intraperitoneally) 30 minutes before ischemia.The methods of radioimmunoassay and pectrophotometry were used respectively to detected the content of TNF? and the activity of MPO in brain tissues of rats.(Results): Compared with those in shamoperated group,the content of TNF?((0.601?0.089) ?g/L vs.(1.576?0.153) ?g/L) and the activity of MPO((0.026?0.008) U/g vs.(0.409?0.044) U/g) in brain tissues(increased) markedly in model group(both P
