Objective To observe the protective effect mechanisms of Inonotus obliquus on Vascular dementia (VD) rats. Methods Wistar rats were selected, used repeatedly occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries and reperfusion, combined with intraperitoneal injection of sodium nitroprusside depressor preparation of VD animal model, randomly divided into control group, model group, IO group (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 g/kg), and intragastric administration for 8 weeks. The changes of free radical and related enzymes and cholinergic system in the brain tissue of rats were detected. Results Free radical and enzyme assay showed that compared with the model group, SOD and CAT activity of brain tissue in rats of Inonotus obliquus groups increased and MDA content decreased (P < 0.05), Na+-K+-ATP and the activity of the enzyme GSH-PX activity had no obvious change, inonotusobliquus large dose group (2.0 g/kg) Ca2+-Mg2+-ATP enzyme activity in rat' s brain increased significantly (P < 0.05). The detection of cholinergic system and related enzymes showed that there were no significant changes in the content of acetylcholine and cholinesterase in the brain tissue of the rats in each dose group compared to the model group. Conclusion The protective mechanism of obliquus obliquus against VD rats may be related to enhancing the activity of anti free radical related enzymes, increasing the antioxidant capacity of the body, and alleviating the damage of free radical in brain tissue; its mechanism maybe irrelevant to choline system.

Animal experimentation received confirmed consent from the local ethic committee. GSL was provided by the Department of Chemistry, Norman Bethune Medical University, and choline was provided by the Third Experiment Factory, Shanghai.METHODS: This study was performed at the Life Science Institute, Taishan Medical College from October 2006 to February 2007. (1) Scopolamine-induced learning and memory disorders in rats: Forty rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, combination group (400 mg/kg GSL + 200 mg/kg choline), GSL (400 mg/kg) group, and choline (200 mg/kg) group, 8 rats/group. Rats were perfused and administrated in the morning, once a day for 14 successive days. Rats in the control group and model group were perfused with 20 mL/kg distilled water and underwent Morris water maze spatial resolution test I hour after perfusion on the 10(th), 11(th), and 12(th) days after administration. Rats also underwent passive step-down avoidance test I hour after reperfusion on the 13(th) and 14(th) days after administration. Thirty minutes prior to experimentation, rats in the remaining three groups were intraperitoneally (i.p) injected with 2 mg/kg scopolamine, and rats in the control group were i.p. injected with 2 rnL/kg saline. 02 Scopolamine-induced learning disorder and memory acquired disorder in mice: Fifty mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, combination group (400 mg/kg GSL +200 mg/kg choline), GSL (400 mg/kg) group, and choline (200 mg/kg) group, with 10 mice/group. Mice were perfused and administrated in the morning, once a day for 9 successive days. Mice in the control group and model group were perfused with 20 mL/kg distilled water and underwent passive step down avoidance test I hour after reperfusion on the 8(th) and 9(th) day after administration. Twenty minutes prior to training, mice in the remaining three groups were i.p. injected with 2 mg/kg scopolamine, and mice in the control group were i.p. injected with 10 mL/kg saline. 3) Sodium nitrite-induced memory consolidation disorder in mice: Grouping, administration, and testing were the same as mentioned above. After training, mice in the remaining three groups were immediately subcutaneously injected with 120 mg/kg sodium nitrite, and mice in the control group were subcutaneously injected with 20 mL/kg saline. 4 Ethanol-induced memory reconsolidation disorder in mice: Grouping, administration. and testing were the same as mentioned above. At 24 hours after training and 20 minutes before retraining, mice in the remaining four groups were perfused with 10 mL/kg ethanol (0.3 volume fraction, and mice in the control group were perfused with 10mL/kg saline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Synergistic effects of GSL and choline on learning and memory deficits induced by scopolamine, sodium nitrite, and ethanol in experiment animals.RESULTS: All 40 rats and 150 mice were included in the final analysis. 1 Synergistic effects of GSL and choline on learning and memory disorders induced by scopolamine in rats. During passive step-down avoidance and Morris water maze spatial resolution tests, the number of error responses and length of maze training in the model group were significantly greater than in the control group (P < 0.01): while the number of error responses and length of maze training in the combination group were significantly less than in the model group, GSL group, and choline group (P < 0.05 0.01). The Q value was > 1 after combining administration which suggests that the combination of GSL and choline had synergistic effects. 2 Synergistic effects of GSL and choline on learning disorder and memory-acquired disorder induced by scopolamine in mice: During passive step- down avoidance test, the number of error responses in the model group were significantly greater than in the control group (P < 0.01); while the number of error responses in the model group, GSL group, and choline group (P < 0.05-0.01). The Q value was > 1 after combining administration, which suggests GSL and choline had synergistic effects. 3 Synergistic effects of GSL and choline on memory sodium nitrate-induced consolidation disorder in mice. During passive step down avoidance test, the number of error responses in the combination group were significantly less than in the model group. GSL group, and choline group (P < 0.06 0.01). The Q value was > 1 after combined administration which suggests GSL and choline had synergistic effects.CONCLUSION: GSL and choline have synergistic effects on learning and memory functions.
