Drug Evaluation Research 2017;40(1):125-132
By increasing the release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum in cardiomyocytes,salidroside elevates myocardial contraction,and by up-regulation of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase expression,and down-regulation ofcalcineurin expression to promote Ca2+ return to sarcoplasmic reticulum,salidroside obstructs Ca2+ overload-induced myocardial injury,and improves heart function.Salidroside inhibits lipid peroxidation,and increases activities of enzymatic antioxidants in heart tissue,and inhibits expression of inflammatory cytokines,and mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening,thus blocks myocardial apoptosis,by anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation;salidroside improves myocardial ischemia by up-regulation of hypoxia-inducible factor and vascular endothelial growth factor expression to promote angiogenesis in ischemic myocardium;salidroside improves respiratory function of mitochondria in myocardium by stimulating PGC-1 αt-NRF-1/NRF-2 signaling pathway to produce finally cardioprotective effect.These effects of salidroside are thought that are major mechanism of antagonizing cardiac injury induced by hypoxia,ischemia,ischemic-reperfusion,exhaustive exercise,chemicals,and biologic toxin.

Drug Evaluation Research 2017;40(3):365-368
Objective To investigate the effect of natriuretic peptide on vascular endothelial function and inflammatory factors of patients with heart failure complicating myocardial infarction.Methods Two hundred and twenty-six patients with heart failure complicating myocardial infarction admitted into Hanzhong Central Hospital from March 2012 to March 2016 were randomly divided into experimental group (n =138) and control group (n =128).Patients in control group were treated with conventional drug,and patients in experimental group were treated with natriuretic peptide based on conventional drug treatment.The vascular endothelial function,contents of NO and eddthelin 1,and inflammatory factors including CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α were detected.Results After 2 weeks of treatment,the flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and NO in experimental group were remarkably higher than those in control group,and eddthelin 1 was significantly lower than those of control group (P < 0.05).Additionally,CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group after treatment for 5 d (P < 0.05).Conclusion Natriuretic peptide could improve the vascular endothelial function of patients with heart failure complicating myocardial infarction via increasing the content of NO and decreasing content of eddthelin 1,and was benefit to cardiac function by inhibiting release of inflammatory factors.
