  • The inhibitory effects of ginkgo biloba extract on airway and vascular remodeling in rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Objective To study the intervention effect of ginkgo biloba extract(GBE) on airway and vascular remodeling in rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods Forty wistar rats were randomly divided into group A,B,C and D.The rat model of COPD were established by intratracheally injection of lipopolysaccharide and exposure to cigarette smoke in groups B,C and D.Groups C and D were given intraperitoneally injection with 40 mg/kg GBE respectively from day1 to day14 and day29 to day42.Forty-three days later,the rats were sacrificed for lung pathological examination.Results Group B,C and D all showed pathological changes characteristic of COPD to different extent.The average area and standard number of alveoli showed significant difference between each groups(all Plt;0.01).The structure of bronchiole walls in group C and D show mild changes.The ratio of bronchial smooth muscle thickness to bronchial wall thickness and bronchial wall area to bronchial area of group C and D showed significant difference when compared with group A and B(all Plt;0.01).The vascular smooth muscle cell of group C and D had mild hyperplasia and the vascular wall had slightly thickened.The ratio of vascular smooth muscle thickness to vascular wall thickness and vascular wall area to vascular area in group C and D showed significant difference when compared with group A and B(all Plt;0.01).Conclusion GBE has inhibitory effects on airway and vascular remodeling in rats model of COPD.
