RESULTS: (1) In cerebral cortex of group B ,C ,D ,E,the numbers of Fos and Jun positive cells were more than those in group A and mean grey levels of Fos and Jun positive cells were lower than those in group A(P< 0.01);(2) In cerebral cortex of ischemic sides in group C,D,E,the numbers of Fos and Jun positive cells were less than those in group B and mean grey levels of Fos and Jun positive cells were higher than those in group B(P< 0.01) ;(3) Group E had more significant effects than group C or group D (P< 0.01). CONCLUSION: The expression of Fos protein and Jun protein in model group increased significantly,compared with sham operated group;RSM ,astragus ,RSM and astragus all could inhibit partly the expression of Fos protein and Jun protein after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion;Prescription of RSM and astragus had stronger inhibiting effects than RSM or astragus.It may be one of mechanisms that ischemic stoke is treated by reinforcing Qi and activating blood circulation therapy in TCM clinic.展开更多
