Effect of Yiqi Huoxue Recipe on Vascular Endothelial Function in Rats with Qi Deficiency and Blood Stasis Syndrome
To explore the changes and benefits of vascular endothelial cell function in rats with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome
and the effect of Yiqi Huoxue recipe (YQHXF) of such changes.
Method:
2
Rats were randomly divided into blank control group
Qi deficiency and blood stasis group
and YQHXF high and low dose groups (5.54
2.77 g·kg
-1
). A small platform of water environment was used to make the rats stand for a long-term with irregular and incomplete sleep deprivation
16 h per day for six weeks
so that both mentality and labor of rats were consumed to establish qi deficiency and blood stasis rat models. From the fifth week
intragastric administration was given for 2 weeks
until end of the experiment. Then levels of endothelin-1(ET-1)
von willebrand factor (vWF)
vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1)
intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1)
P-selectin
interleukin-6 (IL-6)
and tumor necrosis factor-
α
(TNF-
α
) in rat plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and nitric oxide (NO) was detected by nitrate reductase assay.
Result:
2
Compared with blank control group
rats in Qi deficiency and blood stasis group showed rough and dark hair
with significantly decreased body weight and pulse amplitude (
P
<
0.01); R
G
B values of the tongue surface were decreased significantly (
P
<
0.01); high and moderate shear values of whole blood viscosity
as well as plasma viscosity were significantly increased (
P
<
0.01)
and the indexes of vascular endothelial function such as ET-1
vWF
VCAM-1
ICAM-1
P-selectin
IL-6 and TNF-
α
were abnormally increased after sleep deprivation (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). High and low dose YQHXF significantly increased the pulse amplitude and tongue R
G
B values(
P
<
0.01)
reduced the high
moderate and low shear values of whole blood viscosity
as well as plasma viscosity (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01); at the same time
the levels of ET-1
IL-6
VCAM-1 and P-selectin in rats were decreased (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Sleep deprivation can induce the formation of Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in rats
and lead to vascular endothelial dysfunction. YQHXF has the function of protecting the vascular endothelium. It can improve the Qi deficiency and blood stasis symptoms in rats with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome by regulating the secretion of vascular endothelial active substances
reducing cell adhesion and inhibiting inflammation.
