Objective To research the protective effect of Ento-Ⅰagainst cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats,and to evaluate its analgesic and anticoagulating effects in mice. Methods The ischemic model was established with line embolism to block the middle cerebral artery of male rats. The 56 rats were randomly assigned into 7 groups of sham-operation,blank-matrix,nor?
mal saline,Ento-Ⅰplastic of 3 doses(6.67,3.33,1.67 mg/kg),and ozagrel sodium(8.3 mg/kg,ip). The effect of Ento-Ⅰplastic on anti-cerebral ischemia was measured by nervous function scores and the areas of cerebral infarction were determined by TTC staining for the calculation of cerebral infarction rates. The analgesic effect of Ento-Ⅰplastic was determined with acetic acid-induced twisting experiment. Sixty KM mice were randomly allocated into blank-matrix,aspirin,aspirin-plastic,and Ento-Ⅰplastic of 3 doses(5,10 and 20 mg/kg),the number of mouse twisting were recorded right after intraperitoneal injection of 0.7%acetic acid solution at the time of 1 h after the last administration. Moreover,the anticoagulant activity of Ento-Ⅰplastic was tested by glass capillary method. Re?sults The results of acetic acid-induced twisting experiment displayed that Ento-Ⅰplastic of all 3 dose groups(5,10 and 20 mg/kg) could significantly reduce the number of body torsion and increase the inhibitory rates of twisting,compared with that of blank matrix group(the inhibitory rates of twisting for 3 dose groups were 21.79%,48.89%,and 56.15%,respectively),with dose-response man?ner. According to the results of glass capillary test,the clotting time of mouse blood could be significantly prolonged by mid-(10 mg/kg)and low-dose(5 mg/kg)of Ento-Ⅰplastic with corresponding clotting time of(155.20±54.19)s and(155.80±73.84)s,compared with normal saline group at(92.10 ± 24.61)and blank-matrix group at(80.40 ± 48.09,P<0.05). The experiment results of the isch?emia-reperfusion injury by line embolism method in rats exhibited that Ento-Ⅰplastic in mid-dose(3.33 mg/kg)could significantly re?duce the neurological scores after 24 h of reperfusion injury,from(2.33 ± 0.52)of normal saline group to(1.00 ± 0.00)of mid-dose group(P<0.01). The results from TTC staining revealed that the cerebral infarction rates of normal saline group and blank-matrix group were(24.89±7.24)%and(27.72±7.89)%,respectively,whereas those of 6.67 mg/kg and 3.33 mg/kg group of Ento-Ⅰplastic were(14.01±2.65)%and(14.73±4.94)%,respectively. Compared to the 2 negative-control groups,both the high-and mid-dose of Ento-Ⅰplastic could significantly reduce the cerebral infarction rates after ischemic reperfusion injury in rats (P<0.01). Conclu?sion Ento-Ⅰplastic demonstrates strong analgesic and anticoagulant effects,and could substantially reduce the neurological scores and reduce cerebral infarction rates for ischemia-reperfusion injured rats. These are likely to be the mechanism of action for Ento-Ⅰplastic realizing its anti-cerebral ischemia effect.

OBJECTIVE: To study the improvement effects of Bee venom(BV) plastics on experimental cerebral thrombosis in rats. METHODS: Totally 96 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (normal saline), model group (plastics blank matrix), Nimodipine group (positive drug, 4.00 mg/kg) and BV plastics low-dose, medium-dose, high-dose groups (1.67, 3.33, 6.67 mg/kg), with 16 rats in each group. Rats in sham operation group and Nimodipine group were given medicine intragastrically, while rats in model group and BV plastics groups were given medicine by transdermal smearing. After 5 days of continuous administration, the experimental cerebral thrombosis model was established by ligating the right external carotid artery and pterygomandibular artery, and injecting compound thrombus inducer into the internal carotid artery. The wet mass ratio of right brain to left brain was measured to investigate the degree of brain edema on the infarcted side. The content of Evans blue (EB) in the left and right hemispheres of rats was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry to investigate the cerebral vascular permeability. Blood rheology and coagulation function indicators of rats were measured. The pathological changes of brain tissue in rats were observed by HE staining, and the number of survival neuron cells was counted. RESULTS: Compared with the indexes of sham operation group, the cerebral thrombosis model was established successfully. Compared with model group, the area of blue staining in the right brain (infarcted side) of rats in BV plastics groups was significantly reduced, and the right brain/left brain wet mass ratio and the content of EB in the right brain tissue were significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The whole blood viscosity and Casson viscosity of rats in BV plastics groups, and the plasma viscosity of rats in BV plastics medium-dose and high-dose groups decreased significantly (P<0.01). PT and APTT of rats were prolonged significantly in BV plastics medium-dose group (P<0.01). The pathological changes of brain tissue in rats in BV plastics groups were significantly alleviated. The arrangement of neuron cells was more orderly, the shape and structure of cells were clear, the nucleolus was clear, the membrane was intact, and the number of survival neuron cells was significantly increased (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: BV plastics can alleviate brain edema, inhibit cerebral vascular permeability, improve hemorheology and coagulation function indicators of rats after the formation of cerebral thrombosis, and alleviate nerve cell injury after ischemia.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the acute toxicity, long-term toxicity, skin irritation and anaphylaxis of Bee venom (BV) plastics, and to evaluate its preclinical safety. METHODS: The acute toxicity of BV plastics to rats was investigated after administration of high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose (144, 96, 48 mg/kg) of BV plastics. The long-term toxicity of BV plastics was investigated by continuous administration of high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose (72, 48, 24 mg/kg) of BV plastics for 28 days. The irritation of intact and damaged skin in rabbits with 8 mg/kg BV plastics was investigated by using the self-control method of left and right homologous body. The skin anaphylaxis of guinea pig were investigated after sensitized with 15 mg/kg BV plastics on the left back (on 0, 7th, 14th day) and stimulated with 15 mg/kg BV plastics on the right back. RESULTS: During the acute toxicity experiment with BV plastic,the weight of rats and the changes of viscera were normal,and there was no relevant toxic reaction. Long-term toxicity test results showed that no significant pathological changes were observed at 24 h after the last administration; the spleen index of rats in BV low-dose group, testicular index in middle-dose group and epididymis index in high-dose and middle-dose groups were significantly increased, while PT in plasma of rats in BV medium-dose and low-dose groups was significantly prolonged (P<0.05). There were no abnormal changes in organ appearance, other organ index, coagulation index and blood biochemical index. All above indexes became normal at the end of 2-week recovery period. Skin irritation test showed that BV plastics could cause slight erythema and obvious scab on the skin of rabbits which along with little irritation on intact or damaged skin. Skin anaphylaxis test showed that BV plastics produced mild erythema in the skin of guinea pigs, belonging to light allergy. CONCLUSIONS: No acute or long-term toxicity is observed after transdermal administration of BV plastics, which is safe and only causes mild irritation and irritability to skin, indicating there is good safety of the plastic under experiment doses.
