Abstract: AIM: To observe the effects of Capsule Yi-Zhi on the delayed neuronal death in hippocampal CA1 region and memory function after global cerebral ischemia. METHODS: The model of acute reperfusion injury after cerebral ischemia in rats was made by vertebral and carotid arteries occlusion;after the models were made 1, 2, 4, 8 and 40 d, the neurons in hippocampal CA1 region were immunohistochemically stained and calculated.The Morris water maze test was carried out to observe the learning and memory capacities in the 40th day. RESULTS: The number of normal neurons was significantly higher in the Capsule Yi-Zhi (100 mg·kg-1) group than that of the control group.Compared with the control group, the rats in the Capsule Yi-Zhi (100 mg·kg-1) group decreased time in finding the platform under the water surface in Morris water maze test. CONCLUSION: CYZ has protective effects on neurons in hippocampal CA1 region, and shows promising effects on learning and memory dysfunction after global ischemia / reperfusion injury.
