The bilateral common carotid arteries were occluded using a micro clip to block blood flow for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes of ischemic preconditioning, 200,100, and 50 mg/kg persimmon leaf flavonoid or 20 mg/kg ginaton was intragastrically administered per day for 5 days. At 1 hour after the final administration, ischemia/reperfusion models were estab- lished by blocking the middle cerebral artery for 2 hours. At 24 hours after model establishment, compared with cerebral ischemic rats without ischemic preconditioning or drug intervention, plasma endothelin, thrombomodulin and yon Willebrand factor levels significantly decreased and intercel- lular adhesion molecule-1 expression markedly reduced in brain tissue from rats with ischemic pre- conditioning. Simultaneously, brain tissue injury reduced. Ischemic preconditioning combined with drug exposure noticeably improved the effects of the above-mentioned indices, and the effects of 200 mg/kg persimmon leaf flavonoid were similar to 20 mg/kg ginaton treatment. These results indicate that ischemic preconditioning produces tolerance to recurrent severe cerebral ischemia. However, persimmon leaf flavonoid can elevate ischemic tolerance by reducing inflammatory reactions and vascular endothelial injury. High-dose persimmon leaf flavonoid showed an identical effect to ginaton.展开更多

In this study, mice were subjected to 10 minutes of ischemic preconditioning, and persimmon leaf flavonoid was orally administered for 5 days. Results showed that the persimmon leaf fiavonoid significantly improved the content of tissue type plasminogen activator and 6-keto prostaglandin-F1 a in the cerebral cortex, decreased the content of thromboxane B2, and reduced the content of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in mice. Following optical microscopy, persimmon leaf flavonoid was also shown to reduce cell swelling and nuclear hyperchromatism in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of mice. These results suggested that persimmon leaf fiavonoid can effectively inhibit brain thrombosis, improve blood supply to the brain and relieve ischemia-induced pathological damage, resulting in brain ischemic tolerance.展开更多

METHODS The oral ulcer model was induced by acetic acid,was used for intervention of Guilin watermelon frost and different dose(20,40 and 80 mg·kg^(-1)) of PLF.Ulcer area was calculated on the fourth and the seventh day after injury; the changes of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in serum and ulcer tissues were observed; the level of tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-alpha) in ulcer tissue was measured. To observe the pathological morphological changes of H-E staining. RESULTS Guilin watermelon frost and PLF(40 and 80 mg·kg^(-1))can reduce the ulcer area(P<0.05); PLF(20,40 and 80 mg·kg^(-1)) can increase the activity of SOD and decrease the content of MDA in serum and ulcer tissue(P<0.05); Guilin watermelon frost and PLF could significantly decrease the levels of TNF-alpha in ulcer tissue(P<0.05),and improve the inflammatory infiltration of ulcer tissue. CONCLUSION PLF has certain therapeutic effects on oral ulcer induced by acetic acid,and the mechanism may be related to improve oxidative damage and reduce inflammatory reaction.展开更多
