Gerbils were pretreated with BYHWD, and then subjected to cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. Microvascular changes were determined with laser Doppler monitoring, tannic acid-ferric chloride mordant, and electron microscopy. Results showed that BYHWD pretreatment could enhance the function of hippocampal microvessels, prevent injury, and increase microvasular density and microvasular area density. Thus, these results suggest that BYHWD pretreatment could prevent microvascular occlusion, enhance the capacity of microvascular reperfusion, increase cerebral blood flow, and inhibit neuronal damage, and may be an effective therapy against brain ischemic injury.展开更多
