Objective:To investigate influences of Bushen Xingnao Decoction(BSXND)on expression of vas-cular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)
IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in vascular dementia brain and se-rum level of VEGF
IL-1β and TNF-α in vascular dementia rats
to study neuroprotective mechanism of BSXND for vas-cular dementia.Method:Wistar rats were randomly divided into:normal group(N)
sham group(S)
vascular dementia model group(M)and minocycline treatment group(MT).After the model was successfully established
observation was carried out at 2
4
6 weeks.Expression of VEGF
IL-1β and TNF-α in serum and brain were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Result:The expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α in MT groups were lower than that of in M(P <0.05)
the expression of VEGF in MT groups was higher than that of in M(P <0.05);the level and expression of VEGF
IL-1β and TNF-α in MT and M groups were higher than that in N and in S(P < 0.01).Conclusion:BSXND can restrain the expression of IL-1β
TNF-α and increase the expression of VEGF in vascular dementia.BSXND can enhance recovery of cerebral vascular to protect neural function by restraining neuroinflammation.
