Effect of Longshengzhi Capsule on Behavior and Cerebral Protection in Stroke Rats
To investigate the effect of Longshengzhi capsule (LSZC) on behavior

B) and cysteine aspartate-specific protease-3(Caspase-3) in stroke rats.
Method:
2
Ischaemic stroke was induced by the permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO). The male sprague-dawley rats with successful pMCAO modeling were randomly divided into five groups: model (pMCAO) group
nimodipine (12 mg·kg
-1
) group and LSZC groups (2.4
1.2
0.6 g·kg
-1
). A sham group also set in the study. The intragastric administration lasted for 14 days. The rats were tested for neurological deficits
grip strength
rotation tolerance. An open field test was also performed to evaluate the behavior. The pathology of the brain was studied by 2

5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining
and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. In addition
the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA)
nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in rat serum were tested in the experiment. Immunohistochemistry (ICH) and Western blot were used to analyze the expressions of Caspase-3 and NF-

Result:
2
Compared the model group
LSZC significantly improved the grip strength
rotation tolerance and spontaneous activity. LSZC markedly reduced infarct volume

but increased SOD activity (
P

P
<

and down-regulated the expressions of Caspase-3 and NF-
κ
B.
Conclusion:
2
LSZC treatment can improve neurological deficit function and protect the brain of stroke rats. This effect may be realized by down-regulating the expressions of NF-
