This Study was designed to investigate the effects of Patholobi Caulis on the change of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and blood Pressure (MABP) in normal and Cerebral ischemic rats. And, this Study was designed to investigate the inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in neuronal cells. The results were as follows : In normal rats, Patholobi Caulis significantly increased rCBF in a dose-dependent manner, and MABP was somewhat increased. In ischemia rats, rCBF was significantly and stably increased by Patholobi Caulis (10 mg/kg, i.p.) during the period of cerebral reperfusion, which contrasted with the findings of rapid and marked increase in control group. Patholobi Caulis significantly inhibited LDH activity in neuronal cells. It was suggested that Patholobi Caulis had an anti-ischemic effect through the improvement of cerebral hemodynamics and inhibitive effect on the brain damage.

The study was designed to investigate the mechanism of Patholoobi Caulis freeze dried powder (PCF) on the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normal rats and cytokines production ($IL-1{\beta}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-10, $TGF-{\beta}$) in cerebral ischemic rats. The results in normal rats were as follows ; Increase of PCF-induced rCBF was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with methylene blue (10 ${\mu}g/kg$, I.p.), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, and was inhibited by indomethacin (1 mg/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase. Increase of PCF-induced MABP was decreased by pretreatment with methylene blue, but was increased by indomethacin. These results suggested that the mechanism of action PCF was mediated by cyclic 3',5'-guanosine monophosphate. The results in cerebral ischemic rats were as follows ; In cytokine production in serum from femoral arterial blood 1 hr after middle cerebral arterial occlusion, PCF (10 mg/kg. i.p.) significantly decreased $IL-1{\beta}$ and $TNF-{\alpha}$ production, and increased IL-10 production compared with control group. In cytokine production in serum from femoral arterial blood 1 hr 1 hr after reperfusion, PCF (10 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly decreased $IL-1{\beta}$ production, and incresed IL-10 production compared with control group. These results suggested that PCF was significantly and stably increased regional cerebral blood flow by inhibiting $IL-1{\beta}$ production, and by accelerating IL-10 production.
