ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of Rho kinase inhibitor,fasudil,on pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat in rats in order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Methods A total of 72 SpragueDawley male rats of specific pathogen free (SPF) were randomly (random number) divided into four groups:the normal control group (NS group,n =18),fasudil control group (FS control group,n =18),paraquat poisoning group (PQ poisoning group,n =18) and fasudil intervention group (FS intervention group,n =18).On days 7,14,28 after paraquat exposure,six rats were respectively selected from each group.These rats were anesthetized and sacrificed immediately,and their lung tissues were collected.The hydroxyproline (HYP) in the lung tissue was detected by using alkaline hydrolysis.The expressions of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and ROCK1 mRNA in Rho/ROCK signaling pathway were assayed by using the real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR),and the levels of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and Rho / ROCK signaling pathway ROCK1 protein were measured by using Western blotting.The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope.Results There were no significant differences in the observed biomarkers between FS control group and NS group (P ＞ 0.05).While in PQ poisoning group and FS intervention group on days 7,14,28 (all P ＜ 0.05),the amount of HYP increased obviously (P ＜ 0.05),the expressions of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,CTGF,ROCK1 mRNA and protein levels were increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the PQ poisoning group,the amount of HYP decreased significantly,and the expressions of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,CTGF,ROCK1 mRNA and protein levels were decreased significantly in FS intervention group on days 7,14,28 (all P ＜ 0.05).The pathological changes of lung tissue revealed that the degree of pulmonary fibrosis in the PQ poisoning group were most serious on 28 d after paraquat exposure,and the degree of pulmonary fibrosis were lessened in FS intervention group on days 7,14,28.Conclusions ROCK inhibitor,fasudil,has obvious therapeutic effects on paraquat-induced lung fibrosis,by regulating Rho / ROCK signaling pathway with downregulated expression of CTGF,and decrease in the levels of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,thus reducing protein deposition.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of Shenmai injection combined with Xuebijing injection on the coagulation function of the early and inflammatory factor traumatic hemorrhagic shock.Method 86 cases of traumatic hemorrhagic shock patients select from December 2012 to December 2015 in our hospital were randomly divided into a control group(n=43)and experimental group(n=43).The control group was fluid resuscitation and Xuebijing injection treatment,the experimental group was increased Shenmai injection treatment in the control group basis.Compared with coagulation function and inflammatory factor levels before and after treatment in two groups of patients.Results 2 groups of patients was no difference in the index values before treatment,compared with before treatment,after treatment,the two groups of patients prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT)and platelet count(PLT)were elevated,fibrinogen(FIB)was decreased,and the two groups were significantly different (P<0.05 or P<0.01),but in the control group was no difference in the index values after 0.5 h treatment;The inflammatory factor in two groups were significantly increased after treatment(P<0.01),the control group was significantly higher than the experimental group,a significant difference between the groups(P<0.01);The hemorheology indexes after treatment 7 d of 2 groups were significantly decreased compared with after treatment 1 d,and the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion The combined therapy of Xuebijing injection combined with Shenmai injection can effectively improve trauma patients with hemorrhagic shock early coagulation function,reduce the levels of inflammatory factors, improve hemorheology indexes,there are good clinical results.
