Methods: The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded in anesthetized rabbits. Based on the set point theory, an implanted chip system was designed to regulate the blood pressure by stimulating the aortic depressor nerve (ADN) according to the feedback of blood pressure. The blood pressure regulation induced by the implanted chip system was carried out twice (lasted for 15 min and 60 min respectively) and the change of MAP and HR during the regulation was compared with the control. Results: There was a significant decrease of MAP during the first regulation ([-32.0 ± 6.6] mmHg) and second regulation ([-27.4 ± 6.2] mmHg) compared with the control (P<0.01). The HR was also significantly decreased during regulation compared with the control. Both MAP and HR returned to the baseline immediately without rebound after the regulation ceased. Conclusion: The implanted chip system can regulate the blood pressure successfully and keep the blood pressure in a lower constant level without adaptation.展开更多
