Objective To investigate the effects of Shuxuetong Injection (SXT ) on expressions of cell apoptosis and TLR4 a-round ischemic area after focal cerebral infarction in rats and to discuss its neuroprotective mechanism on ischemia-induced brain in-jury .Methods The SD rats were subjected to establish the model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)by nylon monofila-ment suture ,then were randomly divided into the sham-operated group ,the model group and the SXT treatment group ;the cell ap-optosis and the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and protein around ischemic area at 12 ,24 ,48 ,72 h after cerebral ischemia were detec-ted respectively by TUNEL test mediated with DNA ,RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry .Results In the model group ,the number of TUNEL positive cells ,the expressions of TLR4 mRNA and protein were gradually increased at 12 h ,reached the peak at 24 h , then decreased and were still higher than those in the sham-operated group(P<0 .01);in the SXT treatment group ,these expres-sions after 24 h were lower than those in the model group (P<0 .05)and declined as the treatment time increase(P<0 .05) .Conclu-sion In subacute stage of cerebral ischemia injury ,apoptosis is related with the expression of TLR4 ,SXT may inhibit apoptosis , down-regulate the expression of TLR4 around ischemic area ,this may be one of the mechanisms of neuroprotection .

Chongqing Medicine 2013;(25):3008-3010
Objective To observe the expression of angiotensin Ⅱ type 2 receptor (AT2R) and coronary arterial remodeling in ischemia-reperfusion(I-R) injury rat after the renin -angiotensin blocker valsartan pretreatment .Methods 123 rats were random-ly divided into 3 groups :sham -operation group(sham) ,control group and valsartan group(ARB) .The control group and the sham group received the gavage of normal saline and the ARB group received valsartan gavage 10 mg/(kg · d) for 4 weeks before surger-y .The I-R injury rat model was established by thoracotomy for ligating the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and re-moving the ligation after 30 min .The sham group was performed the thoracotomy without ligation .At the 4 timepoints of postoper-ative 3 ,7 ,14 ,28 d ,the left ventricular diastolic and systolic pressures were measured ,then the rats were killed for collecting the rat heart sample .The section was stained by sirius red .The collagen deposition in coronary arterial remodeling and coronary arterial pe-ripheral area ,and the dynamic change of location and expression of AT2R in the coronary artery were observed by the immunohisto-chemical streptavidinbiotin peroxidase complex (SABC) .Results The immunohistochemical analysis revealed that AT 2R was local-ized in the adventitia of coronary arteries with the radial distribution ,showing the higher density especially in large coronary arterial peripheral area ,the partial expression existed in the coronary arterai intima .The expression of AT2R was transient ,which on 7 d af-ter I-R operation in the control group reached the peak value ,while the expression peak value of AT2R in the valsartan group was higher and earlier than that in the control group .The heart diastolic function on 3 d after I-R operation was impaired ;the left ven-tricular end diastolic presure (LVEDP) in the valsartan group was significantly lower than that in the control group .The collagen deposition of coronary peripheral mesenchyma on postoperative 28 d in the valsartan group was significantly lower than that in the control group;the coronary peripheral collagen deposition in the control group was gradually increased with the time progression , which on postoperative 14 ,28 d was significantly higher than that in the sham group .Conclusion Valsartan could inhibit the coronary arterial remodeling for protecting the heart function possible by the transient high AT 2R expression after myocardial I-R injury .

Objective To study the interventional effects of Candesartan Cilexetil on vascular endothelial function and expres-sions of ERK/CREB signaling pathway in rats with acute myocardial infarction.Methods 30 rats were randomized into CAN group,AMI group and Sham group.Two weeks after the treatment rats were sacrificed and blood pressure,levels of blood AngⅡ, NO and NOS,endothelial vasomotor effects of isolated thoracic aorta strips,myocardial infarctual area and the expressions of ERK mRNA and CREB mRNA in infarctual myocardium were explored.Results Blood AngⅡ levels were distinctly higher in AMI group when compared with the Sham group,while the NO and NOS level were much lower.accompanied with EDDs decreased seri-ously,and higher mRNA expressions of ERK1 and CREB in infarctual myocardium.All of the above differences were significant. After the treatment of Candesartan Cilexetil,levels of serum NO and activities of NOS were obviously higher and almost reached the similar levels to those in Sham group,additionally endothelium-dependent diastole in isolated aortic strips improved greatly.Mean-while Candesartan Cilexetil can not only increase the plasma AngⅡ,but also decrease the size of myocardial infarction and the mR-NA expressions of ERK1 and CREB in infarctual myocardium significantly.However,blood pressure in all groups was not affected. Conclusion Candesartan Cilexetil can greatly improve the disordered endothelial function developing post-AMI,decrease the size of myocardial infarction and down-regulate the mRNA expressions of ERK and CREB in myocardium of infarctual zone.And all of the above protective effects of Candesartan Cilexetil were independent on blood pressure lowering.
