Methods: The PHN model was induced by intravenous injection of rabbit anti-ratrenal tubular epithelial antigen (Tub―Ag) an-tiserum to SD rats. I. P. administration ofligustrazine to rats was given every 2 d for 1 to 5 weeks. The proteinuria, creatinine, TxA_2 and6-keto-PGF_(1α) were measured by sulfosaticylic acid, picric acid, and direct radioimmunoassayrespectively. The renal pathological changes were observed under light microscope, electronicmicroscope and by direct immunofluorescence staining rabbit and rat IgG. Results: The PHN ratstreated with ligustrazine had significantly less proteinuria, serum creatinine, urinary TxA_2 andpathological changes of kidney, and more urinary 6-keto-PGF_(1α) than those without administrationof ligustrazine. Conclusion: Ligustrazine decreases proteinuria, urinary TxA_2, and renal tissueinjury and increases urinary 6-keto-PGF_(1α). These data indicate that ligustrazine may modulatethe balance of TxA_2 and PG I_2 in rat PHN model and can be used for preventing and treatingmembranous glomerulonephritis.展开更多
