Abstract:OBJECTIVE To study the effect and mechanism of Tongma Qining prescription(TQP) on improving sciatic nerve injury (SNI) in rats. METHODS The SNI model rats were replicated by using hemostatic forceps. The model rats were randomly divided into the model group, the mecobalamine group (mecobalamine 6×10-4 g·kg-1), the high-dose group (30 g ·kg-1), the medium-dose group (15 g·kg-1) and the low-dose group (7.5 g·kg-1), and the sham operation group was set(10 mice per group). After continuous intragastric administration for 6 weeks, sciatic nerve index (SFI), sensory conduction velocity (SNCV) and hemodynamic indexes were detected in each group. HE staining were employed to detect the pathological alterations of sciatic nerve tissues. Then the expression of BDNF, NGF and VEGF in sciatic nerve were detected by IHC-P, the protein expression of NGF and VEGF were detected by Western blot. RESULTS Tongma Qining prescription was able to alleviate sciatic nerve tissue injury in SNI rats, significantly improved SFI and SNCV (P<0.01), observably reduced the hematocrit, plasma viscosity and value of whole blood viscosity (high shearing and low sheating)(P<0.05), and markedly upregulated the expression level of BDNF, NGF, VEGF and the protein expression level of NGF, VEGF (P<0.01). CONCLUSION The Tongma Qining prescription can significantly improve SNI in rats. Its action mechanism may be related to improving blood rheology, promoting angiogenesis and protecting nerve cells.
