Objective: To observe the effect and mechanism of phenylethanoid glycosides from Cistanches Herba on rat with high-altitude pulmonary edema. Method: Phenylethanoid glycosides from Cistanche Herba was given prophylactically to estibalish the rats model of high-altitude pulmonary edema by using hypobaric chamber in a simulated environment of 5000m altitude. The pathologic changes of rat lung tissue
the water content
the content of interleukin 6 (IL-6)
tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)
malondialdehyde(MDA) and enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)
glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) in lung homogenate were measured. Result: Compared with the control group
the high altitude pulmonary edema model rats showed the remarkable character of pulmonary edema and the higher content of water in lung. The content of IL-6
TNF-α
MDA in lung homogenate were increased while enzymatic activity of SOD
GSH-Px were significantly decreased. The phenylethanoid glycosides from Cistanches Herba were able to improve pathological change of lung tissue
decrease water content
IL-6
TNF-α
MDA while increase enzymatic activity of SOD
GSH-Px in lung homogenate. Conclusion: Phenylethanoid glycosides from Cistanches Herba were able to prevent the high altitude pulmonary edema
the mechanism of which may related with the anti-inflammation
