Effect of Alpinia officinarum Extract on Brain Vascular Permeability in Mice
Objective: To observe the effect of Alpinia officinarum extract on blood vessel of brain permeability.Method:Kunming mice were randomly divided into 9 groups(control group
model group
nimodipine group
watere xtract of A.officinarum 6.66
3.33
1.67 mg·kg-1 groups
Ethanol extract of A.officinarum 6.66
3.33
1.67 mg·kg-1 groups).The mice model of total cerebral ischemia was established with method of bilateral common carotid artery occlusion after 10 days of ig treatment.The brain water content was evaluated by detecting the wet weight and dry weight of brain;The detection of cerebral extra-vascular Evans blue(EB) content was used to observe the changes of cerebrovascular permeability.Result: After acute cerebral ischemia for 3 hours
compared with the control group
brain water content and EB content of brain tissue increased significantly(P < 0.05) in the model control group mice.Compared with the model group
the brain water content and EB content of brain tissue were significantly decreased(P < 0.05) in nimodipine group;the brain water content were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in WEAH 6.66 mg·kg-1
EEAH 3.33 mg·kg-1 and 1.67 mg·kg-1;brain tissue EB content were significantly decreased(P < 0.05) in three doses of aqueous extract groups.Conclusion:WEAH and EEAH can decrease the cerebral water content and cerebrovascular permeability effectively.
