280r/40min). So the PD model was regarded eligible. In the site of lesion in SN, the number and volume of dobaminergic neurons were decreased, and the tissue structure of SN became indistinct, the levels of dopamine (DA), dihydroxyphenylaceticacid (DOPAC), homovanillicacid (HVA) 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleaceticacid (5-HIAA) were more conspicuously reduced than that in uninjured side. TH-immunoreactive cells of substantia nigra compact part were lessened obviously on injured side. The abnormal rotatory behavior of PD rats did not spontaneously disappear during 10 months of continuous observation. Conclusion The PD rat model, which is reproduced by injecting 6-OHDA to selectively destroy dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of rat, is stable and reliable, and demonstrated similar primary pathological changes of PD.

Objective To explore the mechanism of therapeutic effect of Yichantang in the treatment of Parkinson′s disease (PD). Methods A rat model of PD was replicated. The experimental animals were divided into a normal control group,a normal saline control group and a Yichantang group. Changes in the rats' behavior pattern was obrerved. Using the technique of intracerebral dialysis,the content of catecholamine like substances in the nigral extracellular fluid(NECF)was measured by means of high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). Changes in the affinity and quantity of M and DA receptors were determined too. Results Yichantang markedly improved the rats' rotation behavior,and enhanced the Bmax and KD of DA and M receptors in the brain tissues on the side of lesion. The levels of DOPAC,HVA,DA and 5-HT in the NECF of the side of lesion in the Yichantang group were significantly higher than that of the normal saline group ( P

BACKGROUND: Parkinson disease (PD) not only influences motor function, also affects sensation and cognition. Treatment with dopamine can only control symptom and has well side effect; however, yichan tang has great effect on treating PD in clinic.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of yichan tang on praxiological behavior, catecholamines substance in cerebral tissue and substantia nigra nerve cells of PD rats and analyze its effective mechanism.DESIGN: Randomized control animal study and single-blind evaluation.SETTING: Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of General Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: A total of 120 female SD rats weighing 180-200 g were selected in this study. Seventy modeling PD rats were randomly divided into saline group (n=30) and yichan tang group (n=40) according to digital table. Another 30 non-modeling rats were regarded as normal control group. Yichan tang was made of 15 g shanyurou, 15 g shichangpu, 10 g xianlingpi, 10 g roucongrong, 15 g gouqizi, 15 g danshen and 8 g wugong,etc., and provided by Dispensary of Chinese herb of General Hospital of Chinese PLA. Drug was decocted for 30 minutes to filter the solution and then concentrated into decoction including 1.0 g/mL raw materials.METHODS: The experiment was carried out at the Animal Laboratory of General Hospital of Chinese PLA from September to December 2001. PD rat model were established with 6-hydroxy-dopa to observe behavior of rats.The administration of rats (body mass/kg) in yichan tang group was 10 times as the administration of the adults (60 kg) (5 g/kg). Rats were perfused once a day and weighted once a week. The dosage of administration was regulated as the body mass changing, and the administration lasted for 8 weeks. Rats in saline group and normal control group were perfused with the same volume of saline as the criteria of body mass. Rotatory behaviors of rats in normal group, saline group (model group before administration)and yichan tang group were observed before administration and at 5, 6, 7 and 8 weeks after administration. Changes of content of catecholamines in extracellular fluid of cerebral tissue were measured with micro-dialysis technique and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), meanwhile, changes of substantia nigra nerve cells on both sides of corpus striatum were observed under 20-time and 40-time optic microscopes.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effect of yichan tang on medium of cranial nerve of PD rats; changes of substantia nigra nerve cells on both sides of corpus striatum with optic microscope and electron microscope; evaluation of yichan tang.RESULTS: Among 100 rats, 6 rats in yichan tang group died because of failure perfusion, 5 in saline group and 2 in normal control group. Therefore, 87 rats were involved in the final analysis. ① At 5, 6, 7 and 8 weeks after treatment, rotatory times within 40 minutes were all shorter in yichan tang group than those in saline group [(112.34±33.36), (91.16±73.06),(72.05±20.77), (61.63±17.93), (340.90±52.97) times, P ＜ 0.01]. ② Levels of 3,4-dihydroxybenzene acid, homovanilic acid, dopamine and 5-serotonin on the injured side were lower than those on the uninjured side (P ＜ 0.05-0.01). After treatment, levels of mediums mentioned above were higher in yichan tang group than those in saline group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01); however,there were no significant differences of mediums on the uninjured side in the three groups (P ＞ 0.05). ③ Pathological observation: Amount of substantia nigra nerve cells on the injured side was more in yichan tang group than that in saline group; moreover, volume of neurons was full, structure was clear, and values of Golgi complex and mitochondria were close to the normals.CONCLUSION: Yichan tang can relieve injured degrees of substantia nigra nerve cells, facilitate the repair, increase the content of endogenetic catecholamines in cerebral tissue, and improve rotatory behavior of PD rats.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Yichan decoction(抑颤汤) in treatment of Parkinson′s disease(PD).Methods A PD rat model was made by direct injection of 6-hydroxydopamine(6-OHDA) into the brain to destruct the compact part of substantia nigra(SNC).One hundred Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into a normal control group,a PD model group and a Yichan decoction treatment group and they were treated for 8 weeks.The rats′ behavior pattern changes were observed before treatment and from 5th weeks after treatment.The changes in the dissociation constant(Kd) and maximum number of binding sites(Bmax) of dopamine(DA) receptors,and neurotensin-immunoreactive(NT-IR) in substantia nigra after treatment were determined by using the technique of radioimmunity.Results Yichan decoction could markedly improve the rotation of PD model rats and decrease the average number of rotation from(349.56?62.28) circle/40 minutes to(61.63?17.93) circle/40 minutes(P

Objectives:To explore the possibility of using experimental animal models as a new means for studying the pathogenesis and symptomatologic development of radiation-induced lung injury,and provide theoretical and experimental evidences for early prevention and treatment with the traditional Chinese medicine.Methods:80 female Wistar rats were divided randomly into the model group and control group with 40 rats in each group respectively.The rats in model group were anesthetized and fixed,and a 2cm?3cm area of the right lungs received 6mV X-ray radiation at 3Gy?2/w and a maximal 10/5w.Eight rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed at the end of weeks of 3,5,8,12 and 26.Diagnostic techniques of TCM were employed to analyze symptomatological and developmental characteristics of TCM in radiation-induced lung injury during exposure by dynamic examination and comparison of living rats,gross lung samples and tissue sections.Results: Signs and symptoms including redness around nose and eyes,yellowish secretion,tachypnea,dry stool,lethargy,sluggishness, inactiveness were observed in model group in early stage of radiation exposure,which consistent with dominant heat in the interior and primordial qi exhaustion syndrome.Swollen lungs,bright redness on surface and red bleeding patches were observed in early stage of radiation;microscopic examination showed interstitial tissues,and readily visible congestion,hemorrhage and edema of pulmonary interstitial tissues,consistent with damaged blood collaterals by heat and blood escaping circulation syndrome.In the later stage of radiation exposure,the lungs showed dark appearance,apparent purple petechia,hard texture and poor elasticity.Microscopic examination showed remote hemorrhage foci,pulmonary capillary stasis or closure,and focal fibrotic clumps,consistent with obstruction of collaterals by blood stasis syndrome.No abnormal changes were observed in the control group.Conclusions:Animal experiments can redeem the clinical inadequacy of traditional inspection,auscultation and olfaction,interrogation and feeling pulse and palpation diagnostic techniques,modern pathological methods can be utilized to study symptomatology of traditional Chinese medicine.Symptomatological and developmental characteristics of'heat toxin impairment in radiation-induced lung injury characterized by heat damaging pulmonary collateral syndrome in early stage and pulmonary collateral stagnation syndrome in the advanced stage'can be revealed at living organism,gross lung sample and microscopic pulmonary tissue levels,thus providing theoretical basis for early prevention and treatment of radiation-induced lung injury using'cooling blood to remove apthogenic heat'.
