Abstract:
We studied the protective effects of redix salviae miltiorrhizae (RSM) on the ischemic and post-ischemic reperfusion injury which was made by ligating and reopening of the left ventricular branch of the coronary artery of the open-chest anaethetised rabbits under the supervision of ECG. There were 14 rabbits in each group, 7 of them for the measurement of myocardial lipid peroxide level (MLPL) by the thiobarbituric acid method (Hiroshi Ohkawa, 1979), and the other 7 for measuring distribution of regional myocardial blood flow (RMBF) by the biological radionuclidelabeled particle method (Wang Jingxian, 1985). With increasing duration of ischemia, MLPL increased significantly in the ischemic and post-ischemic reperfusion injured heart. In the case of 60 mins ischemia followed by 30 mins reperfusion, MLPL was much higher than that without reperfusion. However, which compared with that of 90 mins ischemia, no significant difference was found. The recovery of RMBF was only 53.2% after 30 mins of reperfusion following 60 mins of ischemia. The occurance of post-ischemic reperfusion injury was dependent on the duration and severity of ischemia. The injury of reperfusion after long period (60 mins) of ischemia is similar to that of increasing duration of ischemia. No-reflow phenomenon was observed in ischemic zones during reperfusion after 60 mins of ischemia. In the RSM (2g/kg body wt) protected reperfusion group. MLPL was reduced by 56.0% and the recovery of RMBF was increased by 32.0%.
