RESUMO
Objective To observe the effect of panax notoginseng saponins on pulmonary artery pathology in chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertensionp (HPH) rats models, discuss the role and possible mechanisms of panax notoginseng saponins in prevention of chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups (n =10).Group C: control group;Group H: rats were treated with hypoxia only;Group HC: rats were treated with hypoxia and captopril;and Group HP: rats were treated with hypoxia and panax notoginseng saponins.To observe the effect of panax notoginseng saponins prophylactic treatment in chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension rats,after the establishment of the model of hypoxic rat animal pulmonary hypertension models, transthoracic direct pulmonary artery intubation was measured in rat pulmonary arterial systolic pressure and mean pulmonary artery pressure, at the end of separation and cut for pulmonary artery to observe the pathological changes of pulmonary artery, results were recorded and statistically analyzed.Results (1)Transthoracic direct pulmonary artery intubation was measured in rat pulmonary arterial systolic pressure and mean pulmonary artery pressure: pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) were significantly higher in Group H than in Group C (P ＜ 0.05), Group HP was no significant difference relative to Group C.(2)Pathological section shew that the primary pathological change of group H is vascular intimal hyperplasia and the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, medial hypertrophy, extracellular matrix increased, thickening of the vessel wall and the vascular stenos.Conclusions Panax notoginseng saponins inhibit the formation of chronic hypoxic pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary vascular remodeling in rats,and have the effect of prevention and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the protective effects of active components of notoginseng on immunological liver injury in mice. Methods Sixty Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal group (group A), model group (Group B), PNS group (Group C), total flavonoids group (Group D),and polysaccharide group (group E). C,D and E groups were given PNS, total flavonoids and polysaccharide orally, 1/day for 14 days. Then BCG was intravenous injected in B, C, D and E groups, and after 26 days lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was intravenous injected. Samples of eye venous plexus blood were collected, and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and Interleukin-4 (IL-4) were detected. Organs index was calculated by checking pathological results of liver, spleen and thymus. Results Com-pared with group B, the thymus index and serum ALT levels were significantly decreased in C, D and E groups (P<0.01), but the levels of IL-4 and T-SOD increased significantly (P<0.01). Pathological results showed that there were more serious inflammatory cell infiltration in liver, edema and necrosis of dot in C, D and E groups than those in group B. Conclusion The active components of notoginseng showed a significant protective effect on immunological liver injury.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the clinical effects of Xueshuantong injection in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods 70 patients with ACI were divided into Xueshuantong injection treatment group and Fufangdanshen control group,The two groups were all treated with routine way.The treatment group were treated with routine way and the Xueshuantong injection for 14 days,The two groups before and after evaluation for neural function defect scale was evaluated,and hemorheology indices were detected.Results The treatment group basic recovery rate was 25.0％,Significant progress rate was 37.5％,progress rate was 27.5％,overall response rate was 90.0％.The control group were 16.7％,30.0％,23.3 ％,70.0％,the difference was significant (x2 =4.534,P ＜ 0.05),the hemorrheologic indices of the treatment group after drug use are statistically significant differences,compared with before drug use(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Xueshuantong injection in treatment of acute cerebral infarction is safe and effective.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the expression of NF-κBp65 in hippocampus after the XST intervention therapy in the SD rats with global cerebral I/R injury and testify the protective effect of XST after global cerebral I/R injury.Methods 72 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups,sham operation(SO) group ( n =24),I/R group( n =24) and XST group( n =24).The model of acute global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (including:I/R and XST group) injury was produced by means of simple Pulsinelli- brierley's four arteries occlusion method.H.E.staining was performed to detect the number of surviving neurons and TUNEL was used to detect the rate of neurons apoptosis.The expression activation of NF-κB p65 in hippocampus comu-ammonis ( CA1 ) region were examined by immunohistochemical method (SABC).Results The survival pyramidal neurons in the XST group continued to increase,and it was significantly more than the I/R group at each time-point after reperfusion[ (99.23 ±4.22)/mm vs (75.83 ±7.17 )/mm,(80.93 ± 5.36)/mm vs (51.50 ± 8.26 )/mm,(103.24 ± 5.48 )/mm vs (35.67 ± 13.17 )/mm,( 126.22 ± 7.54 )/mm vs (9.83 ± 4.71 )/mm ],the differences were statistically significant ( P ＜0.01 ).The apoptosis rate of pyramidal cell in the XST group at each time-point were more significantly reduced than the I/R group [ ( 8.82 ± 2.71 ) ％ vs ( 22.58 ± 4.68 ) ％.( 19.15 ± 6.23 ) ％ vs (42.68 ± 3.04 ) ％,( 11.82 ± 2.87 ) ％ vs ( 55.51 ± 6.81 ) ％,( 8.44 ± 3.23 ) ％ vs ( 71.69 ± 7.71 ) ％ ],the differences were statistically significant ( P ＜0.01 ).The positive neurons of NF-κBp65 expression in the XST group at different time-points were significantly less than the L/R group[ ( 13.20 ±2.50) vs ( 18.00 ± 1.87),(8.20 ±5.31) vs (41.60±3.65),(6.70±3.36) vs (55.30±5.10),(7.10±3.57) vs (72.80 ±4.71)],the differences were statistically significant ( P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions After global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion,XST could protect the brain from global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by holding up the expression of NF- kappaB p65,and inhibiting neuronal apoptosis,and increasing the number of surviving neurons.Thus,the results of this experiment could provide a powerful and weighty objective indication for XST being used during cerebral resuscitation.

RESUMO
Acute in-complete cerebral ischemia were induced in 39 rabbits by hypotension coupled with hypoperfusion for 60 min, and acute forebrain ischemia were induced in other 15 rabbits by 4A-Occlus-ion for 30 min followed by reperfusion 120 min. At the end of experiment, EEG, the tissue contents of sodium,potassium and water in the cerebral cortex, the activities of LDH and CPK in the cerebral venous blood and the maximal bleeding volume were estimated. Sanchinoside D1 ( 50mg/kg, i.v.) could ameliorate significantly all the changes of relevant parameters mentioned above in model animals. It was suggested that Sanchinoside D1 had some protective effect on acute cerebral ischemia in rabbits
