摘要
Objective： To investigate the neuro-protective effect of Xuesaitong Injection （血塞通注射液, XST） on brain inflammatory response after transient focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats. Methods： Focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion models of male rats were induced by transient occlusion for 2 h of middle cerebral artery （MCA） which was followed by 24 h reperfusion. XST was administered through intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg at 4 h after the onset of ischemia. After reperfusion for 24 h, the neurological function score was evaluated, the brain edema was detected with dry-wet weight method, the myeloperoxidase （MPO） activity and the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （IOAM-l） of ischemic cerebral cortex and caudate putamen was determined by spectrophotometry and immunohistochemistry respectively. Results： XST not only lowered neurological function score at the dose of 50 mg/kg, but reduced brain edema and inhibited MPO activity and IOAM-1 expression as compared with the ischemia/reperfusion model group （P〈0.01）. Conclusion： XST has a definite effect on inhibiting the expression of IOAM-1 and neutrophil infiltration in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion when treatment started at 4 h after ischemia onset, and also attenuates inflammation in the infarcted cerebral area.
