ABSTRACT
[Objective] To observe the counteractive action of cyclovirobuxinum D (Cvb-D) for myocardial ischemia and to explore its possible mechanism. [Methods] Sixty SD rats were randomized into blank control group, Cvb-D groups in the dosage of 2.2, 1.1 and 0.55 mg? kg-1 ? d-1 respectively, isosorbide dinitrate group (25 mg? kg-1 ?d-1). The blank control group was treated with distilled water and the other groups were treated with the corresponding drugs by gavage according to the experimental design for 30 days. One hour after the last medication, pituitrin (1.5 U/kg) was injected into the caudal vein of the rats except the blank control to induce coronary artery spasticity myocardial ischemia. After that, electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded, plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malonyldialdehyde (MDA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and phosphocreatine kinase ( CPK) levels were detected. [ Results ] The incidence of ischemic changes in ECG was decreased, plasma SOD activity increased and MDA, LDH and CPK levels lowered in Cvb-D groups as compared with those in the model group (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of therapies of activating blood and removing stasis, activating yang and dissipating phlegm, and warming and dredging meridians with aromatic herbs on relieving acute myocardial ischemia (AMI). Methods Rats were randomized into normal group,model group, Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XZD) groups (treated with XZD 20.5 and 6.8 gkg-1d-1 ), Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction (GXBD) groups (treated with GXBD 18.0 and 6.0gkg-1d-1 ), and Guanxin Suhexiang Capsules (GSC) groups (treated with GSC 0.19 and 0.06 gkg-1d-1 ). The AMI rat models were established by intravenous injection of pituitrin (Pit, 1.5U/kg) through the caudal vein. The effect of the three Chinese medical therapies on AMI rat electrocardiogram (ECG) and plasma endothelin (ET) level was evaluated. Results Compared with the model group, statistical significance was presented in the rise of ST segment of medication groups (P
ABSTRACT
[ Objective ] To investigate the mechanism of Jianxin Pinglu Pill (JPP) in counteracting arrhythmia. [Methods] Ninety rats were randomized into 3 groups: model (normal saline), high-dose JPP (1.6 g/kg) and low-dose JPP (0.8g/kg) . The treatment lasted 7 days. Rat models with myocardial ischemia /repermsion were established by blocking left coronary artery. Ⅱ lead of electrocardiogram was recorded, connexin 43 (Cx 43) was detected by immunohistochemical assay. The effect of JPP on incidence of arrhythmia, death rate and the expression of connexin 43 in the myocardium was observed. [Results] JPP could decrease the incidence of arrhythmia and death rate obviously and enhance the expression of connexin 43 in myocardium. [ Conclusion ] JPP can counteract the damage of myocardial ischemia /reperfusion to enhance Cx 43 expression, and this is one of its possible mechanism.
ABSTRACT
The effect of Compound Danshen injection (CDI) on anesthetized dog models of myocardial ischemia was investigated. The dog models were established by ligation of main branch of left coronary artery. The results showed that CDI reduced the release of serum CK,LDH and MDA and increased the activity of SOD, decreased the scope of myocardial infarction and slowed down the quickened heart beat induced by ischemia. The differences were significant as compared with those in the model group (P
