BackgroundWhile the number of cases of vascular cognitive impairment caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) has been increasing every year, there are currently no clinically effective treatment methods. At present, Xi-Xian-Tong-Shuan capsule is predominantly used in patients with acute cerebral ischemia; however, its protective effect on CCH has rarely been reported.ObjectiveTo explore the underlying mechanisms by which Xi-Xian-Tong-Shuan capsule alleviates cognitive impairment caused by CCH.MethodsA model of CCH was established in specific-pathogen-free (SPF)-grade male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats using bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO). Xi-Xian-Tong-Shuan capsules were intragastrically administered for 42 days after the BCCAO surgery. We then assessed for changes in cognitive function, expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors, and coagulation function as well as for the presence of white matter lesions and neuronal loss. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's test were used to analyze the experimental data.ResultsThe rats showed significant cognitive dysfunction after the BCCAO surgery along with white matter lesions, a loss of neurons, and elevated levels of inflammatory factors, all of which were significantly reversed after intervention with Xi-Xian-Tong-Shuan capsules.ConclusionXi-Xian-Tong-Shuan capsules can ameliorate vascular cognitive impairment in CCH rats by preventing damage of white matter, reducing neuronal loss, and inhibiting the expression of pro-inflammatory factors. Our study provides a new reference for the clinical treatment of chronic cerebral ischemia with Xi-Xian-Tong-Shuan capsules.
