Objective:
To explore the interferential effect of ligustrazine injection (LI) on lymph circulation in rats with acute microcirculation disturbance (AMD).
Methods:
Sixteen Wistar male rats were divided into experimental and control groups. AMD was done by Dextran 500 injection from jugular vein and effects of LI on lymph circulation were observed in these rats by lymphatology methods.
Results:
During AMD phase, the contractility of mesenteric lymphatic (ML) , the intestinal lymph flux, lymphocytes out put were obviously decreased, and there was little monocytes in the lymph fluid, but the lymph fluid viscosity was increased. After treatment of LI, the contractility of ML, the intestinal lymph flux, lymphocytes out put was obvious increased. There was a lot of monocytes in the lymph fluid and the lymph fluid viscosity was decreased. There were signifcant difference compared with control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
LI can influence the recovery of AMD though enhancing the contractility of ML and the transport function of lymph circulation and decreasing lymph fluid viscosity.
