Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHOD: Rat models of focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion were established by thread ligation in middle cerebral artery occlusions (MCAO). After 24 hours, the brains were removed to detect changes of protein expression of Bax, Bcl-2, Fas, Fas-L and caspase-3 by immuno-hisochemistry, and apoptosis of cortical neurons by TUNEL RESULT: Compared to control, brain cortex have decreasing the protein expression of Bcl-2 and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, increasing the protein expression of Bax, Fas, Fas-L and caspase-3 of ischemia and reperfusion models group (P < 0.01). Xinnao Shutong capsule group could increase the protein expression of Bcl-2 and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, and obviously decrease the protein expression of Bax, Fas, Fas-L and caspase-3, then reduce the number of apoptotic cells of cortex (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION:
