Abstract:
Objective To observe the syndrome manifestations of rabbit atherosclerosis models and explore the syndrome attribution rules of the models.Methods The 24 male Japanese rabbits were randomized into a control group(n=8)and a experimental group(n=16).The control group was given normal feed,and the experimental group was treated with high-fat diet and immune injury and surgical injury through the femoral artery balloon.They were fed totally for 10 weeks.Vascular morphological changes and blood lipid determine were used to evaluate the models.The ear,tongue,eye,and the overall state of rabbits were regularly observed to see the changes of TCM syndromes.Results The rabbits of the experimental group gradually reduced the amount of activity in early stage.When the climate changed,their nasal secretion was increased,and they had wheezing breathing,fever and other common cold symptoms like red auricle.In the medium stage,the fatty plaque or belt around the eyes,cold auricle,and listlessness could be seen,and the blood fat was significantly higher than that of the control group.To the tenth week,the dark tongue with blood spots and purple cold auricle appeared in the rabbits of the experimental group.It was difficult to draw blood from the ear,and the emboli could be seen in the vessels of auricles.Compared with the control group,the oxidized low density lipoprotein and malondialdehyde of the experimental group were significantly increased,and the activity of superoxide dismutase decreased.Conclusion The syndromes of rabbit atherosclerosis models are in the changing state,in early stage they can be manifested as Qi deficiency,in middle stage the manifestation can be Qi deficiency with phlegm retention,and in late stage there will be Qi deficiency with blood stasis.The rule is similar to that of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in clinic.
