Objective To observe the effects of extracts of ginkgo leaves (EGL) on acute myocardial infarction, acute myocardial ischemia and blood hemorheology.Methods The effects of EGL on acute myocardial infarction were observed in dogs model induced by the ligation of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery; effects on acute myocardial ischemia were observed on rats model caused by intravenous injection of pituitrin and effects on blood hemorheology were observed in rabbits. Results EGL significantly reduced the myocardial infarction area, decreased the activities of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase in dogs, reduced the elevation of ST segment of electrocardiogram in rats with myocardial ischemia and decreased whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity in rabbits. Conclusion EGL has protective effect against myocardial ischemic injury and can improve the parameters of blood hemorheology in rabbits. Its mechanism may be concerned with the reduction of the myocardial infarction area and infarction degree and the relief of acute myocardial ischemia.

Aim To explore the effect of survivin in PC12 cells against injuries induced by cobalt chloride(CoCl_2).Methods PC12 cells were exposed to CoCl_2 at different doses in different time to set up the chemical hypoxia induced PC12 cells injuries model.Cell viability was tested by using cell counter kit-8.Dose-effect(200～1 000 μmol·L~(-1))and time-effect(0～48 h)relationship between hypoxia induced by CoCl_2 and the expression of survivin was evaluated by western blot.Results PC12 cells viability was inhibited significantly by CoCl_2 in a dose and time dependent manners;At the concentrations from 200 to 600 μmol·L~(-1) CoCl_2 for 24 h,survivin expression was upregulated in a dose dependent manner,peaking at 600 μmol·L~(-1) CoCl_2 treatment,exceeding this concentration of CoCl_2,with dose increasing,survivin expression decreased.At the dose of CoCl_2 up to 1 000 μmol·L~(-1),survivin did not express basically;Treatment with 600 μmol·L~(-1) CoCl_2 in different time,within the range of 0～36 h,the expression of survivin enhanced in time dependent manner.But with the extension of time,survivin expression was declining; 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (2 μmol·L~(-1)),an inhibitor of Hsp90,not only decreased survivin overexpression but also obviously enhanced the injuries of PC12 cells induced by CoCl_2,which didn't damage PC12 cells alone.Conclusion Upregulation of survivin expression may be one of the endogenous defense mechanisms for PC12 cells against chemical hypoxia.

[Objective] To explore the cytoprotecfion of hydrogen sulfide (H_2S) against cobalt chloride (CoCl_2)-induced apeptosis in PC12 cells and the underlying mechanisms. [Methods] CoCl_2 (a chemical hypoxia-mimetic agent) was used to establish the chemical hypoxia-induced PC12 cell injuries model. Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) was used as a H_2S donor. The viability of PC12 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The percentage of apeptotic cells was assessed by propidium iodide stain flow cytometry (FCM). The morphological change of apeptotic cells was tested by using the chromatin dye Hoechst 33258. The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was analyzed by rhodamine 123 staining and photofluorography. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in PC12 cells was measured by DCFH-DA staining and photofluorography. [Results] CoCl_2 induced a decrease in cell viability and an increase in percentage of apeptosis in PC12 cells along with dissipation of MMP as well as overproduction of ROS. When PC12 cells were treated with Naris 30 min before CoCl_2 treatment a decrease in viability of PC12 cells induced by 600 μmol/L CoCl_2 was concentration-dependently blocked by NaHs (100, 200, and 400 μmol/L). Pretreatment with NaHS at 200 and 400 μmol/L obviously reduced the apepetotic percentage of PC12 cells induced by 600 μmol/L CoCl_2 and inhibited the dissipation of MMP and overproduction of ROS. [Conclusion] H_2S protected PC12 cells against CoCl_2-induced apeptosis, which may be associated with the inhibition of H_2S on the dissipation of MMP and overproduction of ROS induced by CoCl_2.

Maggot debridement therapy(MDT)and conventional therapy were applied to diabetic foot ulcers(DFUs)with Wagner 2-4 respectively. The results showed that the prognosis was better in MDT group than in conventional therapy group. The reduction of circumference, square and volume of DFUs, healing rate of DFUs, decrease in number of bacterial species, and cost of antibiotics were all improved in the former group. The results suggest that MDT offers a fresh and effective method in the treatment of DFUs.
