Cerebral ischemia is a serious cerebral vascular disease. In this work
the cerebral ischemia model of rabbit was established through operation. The elemental contents of Zn
Se
Mg
Mn
Na
K and Cl in rabbit brain tissues were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The results show that some elemental contents change obviously after cerebral ischemia and change with time. The correlation of some elemental contents between left and right brain tissues was observed
and the correlation between Na and Cl contents in brain was also observed.Traditional chinese medicine is effective to cure cerebral ischemia. Two new Chinese medicines were applied to rabbits with cerebral ischemia
and their influence on elemental contents were observed.
