摘　　要：OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Yizhitongxuan decoction on learning and memory abilities, Gαq/11expression and Na+-K+-ATPenzymeactivityin rat models of Alzheimer's disease(AD) caused by injecting Aβ25-35 into the hippocampus.METHODS: Ninety male Wistar rats(age ≥10 months)were selected and injected with Aβ25-35 into their hippocampi to establish model animals,which were randomly divided into six groups including a sham-operated group(blank group), a model group, a donepezil HCL group(Western Medicinegroup),and ahigh/general/dilute concentrations of Yizhitongxuan decoction groups(TCMⅠⅡⅢgroup).The Morris watermaze was used to examine the learning and memory abilities of rats in each group by place navigation and spatial probe tests.Then, the rats were sacrificed to collect the hippocampi for biochemical tests, using western blotting to detect the expression of Gαq/11 and an ultramicro Na+-K+-ATP enzyme kit to measure Na+-K+-ATP enzyme activity.RESULTS:Yizhitongxuan decoction improved model rats' learning and memory abilities, and increased the expression of Gαq/11 in the hippocampus and the level of Na+-K+-ATP enzyme activity in braintissue.CONCLUSION: Yizhitongxuan decoction could improve model rats' learning and memory abilities,and had a regulating effect on the expression of Gαq/11and Na+-K+-ATP enzyme activity.OBJECTIVE： To study the effects of Yizhitongxuan decoction on learning and memory abilities, Gαq/11expression and Na＋-K＋-ATPenzymeactivityin rat models of Alzheimer＇s disease（AD） caused by injecting Aβ25-35 into the hippocampus.METHODS： Ninety male Wistar rats（age ≥10 months）were selected and injected with Aβ25-35 into their hippocampi to establish model animals,which were randomly divided into six groups including a sham-operated group（blank group）, a model group, a donepezil HCL group（Western Medicinegroup）,and ahigh/general/dilute concentrations of Yizhitongxuan decoction groups（TCMⅠⅡⅢgroup）.The Morris watermaze was used to examine the learning and memory abilities of rats in each group by place navigation and spatial probe tests.Then, the rats were sacrificed to collect the hippocampi for biochemical tests, using western blotting to detect the expression of Gαq/11 and an ultramicro Na＋-K＋-ATP enzyme kit to measure Na＋-K＋-ATP enzyme activity.RESULTS：Yizhitongxuan decoction improved model rats＇ learning and memory abilities, and increased the expression of Gαq/11 in the hippocampus and the level of Na＋-K＋-ATP enzyme activity in braintissue.CONCLUSION： Yizhitongxuan decoction could improve model rats＇ learning and memory abilities,and had a regulating effect on the expression of Gαq/11and Na＋-K＋-ATP enzyme activity.
