Objective:To observe the effect of Dengzhanshengmai capsules on cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats,and discuss its mechanism. Methods:Eighty rats were divided into 5 groups:sham-operated group 1,sham-operated group 2,saline control group,low-dose Dengzhanshengmai group,and high-dose Dengzhanshengmai group. Each group had 16 rats. The middle cerebral artery occlusion model in rats were made by the modified suture-occluded method of Zea longa. The rats were administrastion with Dengzhanshengmai capsules orally before and after cerebral ischemia. Neurological score was carried out. Some haematological indexes (such as prothrombin time,fibrin content,and maximum agglutination rate of platelets),plasma endothelin level,and serum nitrogen oxide level were measured. The size of crebral infarct and edema,the activity of SOD,and the content of MDA were measured as well. Results:The neurological score in the low-dose and high-dose Dengzhanshengmai groups after 2 and 24 hours reperfusion was lower than those of the control group(1.75±0.68?1.71±0.77 vs2.35±0.86,1.88±0.81、 1.71±0.69 vs2.65±1.17,P<0.05). The PT in the high-dose Dengzhanshengmai group was longer than that of the saline control group (18.0±0.8s vs17.0±0.6s,P<0.05) while the level of ET was lower(13.9±4.9 pg/ml vs26.3±13.2,P<0.05). The infarct size and edema size in the Dengzhanshengmai group were smaller than those of the saline control group(10.3±3.8%? 9.7±5.7% vs11.9±3.0%,7.7±3.0%、 6.9±3.9% vs 18.3±7.0%,P<0.05),The activity of SOD in the Dengzhanshengmai group was higher than that of the saline control group (291±78 U/mg、 301±92U/mg vs213±40 U/mg,P<0.05)while the content of MDA was much lower(1.41±0.47nmol/mg、 1.36±0.61nmol/mg vs 2.09±0.32 nmol/mg,P<0.05,P<0.01). But no significant differences were found in the levels of Fg,maximum aggregation of platelets,and nitrogen oxide. Conclusion:Dengzhanshengmai capsules is effective for preventing and treating cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury.The mechanisms of its effect may be associated with improving the activities of antioxidases,suppressing lipidperoxidation,alleviatingthe injuries induced by free radicals,suppressing blood agglomeration,and reducing blood vessel resistance.
