ABSTRACT
Non-ST segment elevation coronary syndrome usually results from instability of an atherosclerotic plaque, with subsequent activation of platelets and several coagulation factors. Its treatment aims to reduce the ischemic pain, limiting myocardial damage and decreasing mortality. Several antiplatelet and anticoagulation agents have been proven useful, and new drugs have been added to the therapeutic armamentarium in the search for higher anti-ischemic efficacy and lower bleeding rates. Despite the advances, the mortality, infarction and readmission rates remain high.
A síndrome coronária sem supradesnivelamento do ST geralmente resulta da instabilização de uma placa aterosclerótica, com subsequente ativação plaquetária e de diversos fatores de coagulação. O tratamento visa aliviar a dor isquêmica, limitar o dano miocárdico e diminuir a mortalidade. Diversos agentes antiagregantes e anticoagulantes provaram sua utilidade, e novas drogas passaram a compor o arsenal terapêutico, buscando maior eficácia anti-isquêmica e menores índices de sangramento. Apesar dos avanços, as taxas de mortalidade, infarto e reinternação ainda permanecem elevadas.

Objective To observe the effect of panax quinquefolium fruit saponin(PQFS) on hemodynamics and correlative indexes in the coronary artery ligated dogs.Methods The dogs were divided into five groups randomly(n=6): control group,gingkgo leaf tablet group(24 mg?kg~(-1)),24,12 and 6 mg?kg~(-1) PQFS groups.The myocardial infarction size(MIS)and the changes of the serum enzymes were determined by using the acute myocardial infarction models with the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery of dogs.The parameters of hemodynamics and myocardial oxygen metabolism were measured in the anesthetic dogs with thoracotomy.(Results Compared) with control group,the myocardial blood flow was increased(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the ameliorative effects of pseudoginsenoside GQ (PGQ) on electrocardiogram changes in rats with acute myocardial ischemia induced by isoproterenol (ISO). Methods 50 Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n=10) randomly. Group I : i. v. 0.9% sodium chloride water liquor; Group II : i. v. verapamil hydrochloride of 0. 2 mg ? kg-1 ; Group III : i. v. 3. 0 mg ? kg-1 of PGQ; Group IV : i. v. 6. 0 mg ? kg-1 of PGQ; Group V : i. v. 12. 0 mg ? kg-1 of PGQ. Myocardial ischemia was induced by intravenous injection of ISO (2.0 mg ? kg-1). ST-segment changes in the lead II , precordial in lead V1 and precordial in lead V2 were examined. Results In lead II , lead precordial V 1 and lead precordial V 2 , ST-segment elevation of three PGQ groups were not obvious at every time point, the extents of ST-segment elevation were lower than those in sodium chloride water liquor group (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the protective effects of Diemailing Injection (DMLI) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Methods The myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model was induced by 30 min left anterior descending coronary occulusion and 24 h reperfusion in open-chest anesthetized rats. The changes of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in serum, and prostacycline (PGI2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) levels in plasma were determined. Results In rats treated by DMLI (with dose of 2. 5, 5 and 10 mL ? kg-1 i. v. at 30 min after coronary occulusion), the myocardial ischemia size (MIS) was significantly reduced, the AST, LDH and CK-MB activities in serum and the TXA2 level in plasma were declined, while PGI2 level in plasma and PGI2/TXA2 ratio were increased significantly. In addition, the LPO content in serum declined, SOD and GSH-Px activities in serum were increased markedly. Conclusion DMLI has protective effects on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury through improving free radicals metabolism, decreasing TXA2 level in plasma, increasing PGI2 level in plasma and PGI2/TXA2 ratio.
