ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the protective effect of?-asarone,the active components from Rhizoma Acori Tarinowii,on human umbilical venous endothelial cell strain ECV304 injury induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)and to investigate its influence on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC). Methods The well-grown ECV304 cells were randomized into 5 groups:normal group,control group,high-, middle-and low-dose?-asarone groups.Except the normal group,ECV in the other groups were co-cultured with ox-LDL 25?g/mL,and the?-asarone groups were additionally with?-asarone 30,15 and 7.5?g/mL added respectively.Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptotic rate and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)of ECV304 as well as the proliferation index and the DNA content in different cell phases of VSMC. Results In the model group,the apoptotic rate of ECV was increased,MMP was decreased,and VSMC proliferation was promoted(P
ABSTRACT
To assess the effect and the safety of Naoxinqing Tablet in treating cerebral atherosclerosis and angina pectoris of coronary heart disease. Forty-eight patients with cerebral atherosclerosis and 12 patients with angina pectoris of coronary heart disease served as the objects. The effective rates were 83.33% and 75.00% in cerebral atherosclerosis group and angina pectoris of coronary heart disease group respectively, and the total effective rate of Naoxinqing Tablet was 81.67%, the difference being significant as compared with those before treatment (P
