Abstract:
AIM:To observe the histopathological changes of vascular calcificated rats following intervention with alendronate,further more,to verify the therapeutic action of alendronate on angiosteosis.METHODS:Thirty Sprague Dawley rats were divided into the normal,Vitamin D3 and alendronate groups by random number table after feeding for 1 week.Rats in the Vitamin D3 and alendronate groups were lavaged with 250 000 U/(kg ?d) Vitamin D3 or iso-capacity of sodium chloride at 0,24,and 48 hours after model preparation.From the fourth day,rats in the alendronate group were treated with 0.9 mg/(kg ?d) alendronate.All rats were sacrificed at the end of 6 weeks,removed aorta and aortic arch.The pathological change was analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.In addition,calcium contents of blood vessel were measured.Von Kossa staining,Image-Pro Plus 6.0 image analysis software were used to determine the ratio of calcified plaque,and detected the content of blood fat.RESULTS:There had calcified plaque in the vessel wall of aortic arch in the alendronate group,but the number was obvious smaller than and the necrosis area was significantly lower than that of the Vitamin D3 group.The calcium contents of blood vessel,ratio of calcificated area,as well as the concentration of total cholesterol was decreased compared with the Vitamin D3 group(P
