Abstract Objective To observe the effect of Shenfu injection (SF) on learning and memory ability and pathological changes of hippocampus in vascular dementia (VD) rats. Methods The VD models, established by repeatedly clipping the common carotid arteries (CCA) of the rat in combination with an intraperitoneal injection of sodium nitroprusside solution in anesthetized SD rats, were randomly divided into two groups: model group and SF treated group, and another condition-matched rats were selected as the sham-operated group in which the bilateral CCA were separated but with neither CCA occlusion nor intraperitoneal injection of sodium nitroprusside solution. Above 3 groups were further divided into three time point subgroups respectively: 7d, 15d and 1m subgroups after model-established operation. The SF treated group were intraperitoneally treated with SF (10mL/kg/d), while the model and sham-operated groups were given the same volume of normal saline as SF treated group. At different time point, spatial learning and memory abilities of rats were assessed by Morris water maze task and the microcosmic pathological changes in hippocampal CA1 area were comparatively observed in HE straining, Nissl staining slices through microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Results The escape latency (EL) of VD rats was significantly higher than sham operation group (P<0.01) While reduced (P<0.05) in SF treated rats. Pathology testing showed that pyramidal cells in CA1 area of hippocampus reduced or even dropped out in VD rats. At the same time, cells were swelling with nucleus pyknosis. Moreover, the number of Nissl bodies reduced or even disappeared, accompanied by glial cells hyperplasia. With treatment of SF, the damages mitigated. Transmission electron microscopy showed damages of integrity and structure in hippocampus of VD rats (1m), accompanied by a decrease in the number of synaptic vesicles while SF relieved the damages. Conclusion SF can ameliorate dementia symptoms and enhance learning and memory in VD rats to some extent.
