?Objective To investigate the preconditional effect of Naotai Formula Extract(NFE) on the cerebral ischemia reperfusion(CIR) injury in gerbils. Methods CIR model was prepared by bilateral carotid occlution with incarceration method in gerbils. Then, 130 animals were randomly divided into sham operation group (SOG), cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury group (IRG), cerebral ischemia preconditioning group (IPG) and NFE preconditioning group (NPG). Furthermore, IRG, IPG and NPG were divided into 4 sub groups respectively based on the reperfusion d...
