Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of Zhali Nusi Recipe ( ZNR) on hemorheological parameters, blood - lipid metabolism, the activities of superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and glutathione peroxidase ( GSH-Px) , and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in brain tissues of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats with the syndrome of phlegm blended with blood stasis. Methods Ninety rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, nimodiping (10.8 mg/kg) group, high-, middle- and low-dose ZNR groups ( in the dosage of 30, 15, 7.5 g/kg, respectively) , 15 rats in each group. Except the sham operation group, the other groups were given intragastric administration of intralipid for 4 weeks, and then were induced into focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by middle cerebral artery occlusion with thread-obstruction method. After post-operation medication for 7 days, the rat general situations, the neurological deficiency symptoms, and the water content in brain tissues were observed. The morphological features of brain tissues were observed after HE staining. The blood was taken from the ab dominal aorta to detect the hemorheological parameters and blood lipid levels. Metabolic levels of free radicals in the brain tissue homogenate were also determined. Results Compared with the sham operation group, neurological deficiency scores of the rats and the water content in the brain tissues of model group were significantly enhanced. The hippocampal neurons of model rats presented typical ischemic changes. In the model group, the hemorheological parameters such as whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematocrit ( HCT) , and erythrocyte aggregation in dexes ( EAI) were significantly increased, and erythrocyte deformation indexes were significantly decreased; the serum levels of total cholesterol ( TC) , triglyceride ( TG) , low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly increased, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) level was significantly decreased; the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in brain tissues were significantly decreased, and MDA content was increased significantly ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, high-, middle-and low-dose ZNR improved the general situations of the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats, increased the neurological deficiency scores, reduced the water content in brain tissues, improved the recovery of morphology of cells in cerebral ischemia tissues, reduced whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, HCT and EAI of the model rats, promoted erythrocyte deformation indexes, decreased serum TG, TC, LDL-C levels, increased the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in cerebral ischemic tissues, and sig nificantly decreased MDA content (P<0.05 or P<0.01). And high-dose ZNR had the best effect. Conclusion ZNR has certain protective effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats with the syndrome of phlegm blended with blood stasis, and the mechanism may be closely related with the improvement ofhemorheology, blood lipid and free radical metabolism in model rats.
