Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of Erigeron breviscapus preparation on the imaging and neuronal metabolites after reperfusion in the ischemic cerebral injury in rats.
Method: Twenty-three male Sprague Dawley rats with an average body weight of (165 +/- 15) g (mean +/- S) were used, and were randomly divided into two groups: group A rats (n = 11) underwent an operation of ischemic brain injury, group B rats (n = 12) underwent the same operation and received the treatment of Erigeron breviscapus preparation (1.5 mg.kg-1 weight, i.p.). The right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) of rats in both groups was induced by 5/0 nylon suture for 2 hours. The reperfusion was conducted for four hours and six hours respectively following MCAO. T2 weighted-imaging (T2WI) and 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) were performed, to study the changes of the imaging and the neuronal metabolites N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), creatine/phosphocreatine (Cr/PCr), choline (Cho) and lactose (Lac) in cerebrum following cerebral ischemia.
Result: The hyperintense signals in the right cerebrum in group B decreased compared with those in group A, the T2 values decreased, the level of NAA increased, the ratio of Cr/NAA and Cho/NAA decreased, and no lactose was observed. The brain surface vessels of rats in group B were in the state of dilation.
Conclusion: Erigeron breviscapus preparation is beneficial to the reestablishment of the blood circulation in the ischemic brain, and to the improvement of the neuronal metabolism and survival.

Eye School, Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chengdu, China.
Glaucoma is a common eye condition characterized by the loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, optic nerve damage, and visual field defects, which seriously affect a patient's quality of life. The pathogenesis of glaucoma is still unclear at present. It presents as damage to retinal ganglion cells, and the main treatment is primarily to reduce intraocular pressure by surgery or taking medication.

Scutellarin (Scu), a flavonoid from herbal Erigeron breviscapus (Vaniot) Hand-Mazz, exerts neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia. However, whether the effects of Scu are related to mitochondrial protection needs further investigation. In this study, we aimed to clarify the mechanisms of Scu against HT22 cells injury caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R).
