Comparative study on pseudoanaphylactoid reactions induced by pulse-activating injection before and after improving technology / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate a possibility to improve the security of pulse-activating injection by comparing the difference of pseudoanaphylactoid reactions (PR) induced by pulse-activating injection before and after improving technology.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The analysis of vascular permeability of the mice's ears: ICR mouse were divided into different test groups, and intravenously injected with solutions of different concentration of pulse-activating injection before and after improving technology, positive control Compound 48/80 and 5% glucose injection. All test substances were mixed with 0. 4% Evans blue. The reaction and vascular permeability of the ears were observed and measured 30 min after injection. The vascular permeability of the rat's skin: the rats were intravenous injected with 0. 6% Evans blue normal saline solution first, 10 minutes later, the same test substances were intradermal injected into the back of rats, there are 16 injected spots in the back of rat. The rats were sacrificed and the diameter of locus ceruleus and the content of Evans blue leaked out were measured 20 min after injection.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Pulse-activating injection before improving technology with dose of 16.7 mL x kg(-1) ( in 1.67 times the clinical dose ) caused obvious vascular hyperpermeability in ICR mice. In the group of pulse-activating injection before improving technology with dose of 10 mL x kg(-1) (in clinic equivalent dose), no obvious vascular hyperpermeability in the ears were observed. The degrees of vascular hyperpermeability in the group of pulse-activating injection after improving technology with dose of 16.7 mL x kg(-1) were more lessen than the same dose of injection before improving technology. Pulse-activating injection before improving technology caused obvious exudation, oedema locus ceruleus in the injection site of rat's back, and it showed a certain dose-effect relation. Pulse-activating injection after improving technology caused locus ceruleus in the injection site too, but the diameters of the locus ceruleus were shorter than the diameters in the group of pulse-activating injection before improving technology, and the contents of leaked out Evans blue were fewer. All of these showed that PR of skin induced by pulse-activating injection after improving technology is alleviated.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Pulse-activating injection before improving technology cause obvious vascular hyperpermeability, but the same dose of pulse-activating injection after improving technology can't cause obvious vascular hyperpermeability. The result indicated that the pulse-activating injection before improving technology can cause PR, improving technology can lessen the degree of PR induced by the injection.</p>

Experimental study on anaphylactoid reactions induced by different components of shengmai injection (new production process) on Beagle dogs / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the sensitization effect of different components of Shengmai injection (new production process) on Beagle dogs.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Beagle dogs were randomly divided into 7 groups, 3 in each group. Each group was respectively injected with 5% glucose injection, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra extract, Ophiopogonis Radix extract, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus extract, Schisandrae Chinersis Fructus distillate, Shengmaifang, 0.2% tween 80. The changes of each dog were observed from injection before until 24 hours after injection, and the response level was determined according to the severity of the symptoms. Blood samples were collected before injection and at 10 min after injection for measuring histamine content in plasma by ELISA. Sensitization of the injection was comprehensively determined by combined the response level of symptoms and the histamine level.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>One dog of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra extract group showed untypical symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions, and serum histamine of two dogs increased more than doubled. The Beagle dogs administrated with 0.2% tween 80 showed typical symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions, while there was no significant increase of serum histamine. Other groups were observed with no typical anaphylactoid reactions.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The sensitization effect of Shengmai injection (new production process) may be associated with Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra extract and 0.2% tween 80.</p>

Experimental study on anaphylactoid reactions induced by shengmai injection (new production process) on Cynomolgus monkey / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the anaphylactoid effect of old Shengmai injection and new Shengmai injection on Cynomolgus monkey.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Cynomolgus monkeys were randomly divided into 4 groups, and were respectively injected with 5% glucose injection, old Shengmai injection, new Shengmai injection, positive control drug. The changes of each monkey were observed from injection before until 24 hours after injection, and the response level was determined according to the severity of the symptoms. Blood samples were collected before injection and at 10 min after injection for measuring histamine content in plasma. Blood pressure and heart rates were detected before injection and at 10 min after injection. Sensitization of the injection was comprehensively determined by combined the response level of symptoms and the histamine level.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The Cynomolgus monkeys administrated with old Shengmai injection showed typical symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions and the content of serum histamine is not more than doubled. The Cynomolgus monkeys administrated with new Shengmai injection showed untypical symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions and the content of serum histamine did not rise.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The old Shengmai injection can induce typical anaphylactoid reactions on Cynomolgus monkeys, and the sensitization ability is strong. The symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions induced by the new Shengmai injection appeared later and showed lesser degree with the sensitization lower.</p>
