Objective:To investigate the effect of compound Sanggou granules on the activity of Fib, AT-Ⅲ, t-PA, PAI-1 and t-PA/ PAI-1 in hyperlipidemic rats. Methods: The hyperlipidemic rat model was established by feeding high fat diet to SD male rats. Sixty healthy SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: the normal diet control group, high fat control group, high dose drug group, low dose drug group and fluvastatin sodium group. Four weeks after the administration, the blood samples were withdrawn for the determination of the levels of blood lipid, Fib, A-Ⅲ, t-PA, PAI-1 and t-PA/ PAI-1. Results:Compared with those of the normal diet control group, the levels of TC, LDL-C, Fib and PAI-1 were increased and the levels of HDL-C, t-PA , AT-Ⅲand t-PA/ PAI-1 were decreased significantly (P<0. 01) in the high fat control group. Compared with those of the high fat control group, the levels of TC, LDL-C, PAI-1 and Fib were decreased(P<0. 01 or P<0. 05),and the levels of HDL-C, t-PA AT-Ⅲ and t-PA/PAI-1 were in-creased significantly in the high dose drug group (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The similar effects were shown in the fluvastatin sodium group with the stability of AT-Ⅲ. The levels of TC, LDL-C and PAI-1 were decreased and the levels of t-PA/PAI-1 were increased no-tably in the low dose drug group. Conclusion: Compound Sanggou granules exhibit hypolipidemic effect in hyperlipidemic rats, and can improve hypercoagulability and enhance anticoagulation and fibrinolytic activity in hyperlipidemic rats. Furthermore, compound Sanggou granules at high dose show the same effect as fluvastatin sodium, even in anticoagulation, the granules are superior to fluvasta-tin sodium.

Objective To establish a New Zealand rabbit model of heart failure by aortic regurgitation.Methods Adapting catheterization-induced aortic regurgitation to establish a volume overloat rabbit model of heart failure.The SBP, LVSP, LVDP, LV+dp/dt and LV ±dp/dt were observed before and after modeling.The successful criteria of heart failure:the LV ±dp/dtmax was decreased more than 40%and the LVDP increased more than 40%, or the LV ±dp/dtmax fell down to less than 40%and the DBP should be decrease more than 40%.Evaluating the model by observing the coat color, mental status, physical activity, calculating the feed consumption index, weight gain index, heart rate, respiration frequency and other indicators.The activity of serum SOD and MDA concentration were assayed to determine the antioxidant capacity of the model animals.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit was used to detect the serum cAMP and cGMP con-centration.Gene chip technology was used to analyze the difference of gene expression.Results After modeling, the he-modynamic index of SBP, DBP and LVSP were significantly decreased, LVDP was significantly decreased, LVDP was sig-nificantly increased and the LV+dp/dt and LV ±dp/dt were significantly decreased.Compared with the normal control group, the model animals showed coat withered, less movement, less eating, unresponsiveness, listlessness, and reduced grab resistance after modeling.The respiratory rate of the model group was significantly increased, and this trend was in-creased over time.The serum SOD activity was lower, MDA concentration was higher, cAMP concentration was lower, and cGMP concentration was higher in the model group.665 differentially expressed genes were detected.Compared with the human gene sequences, 16 characteristic genes were obtained.In these 16 genes, which were closely related to heart func-tion, were mainly related to ion channels, muscle contraction, and signal transduction function.Conclusions This repor-ted method to establish rabbit model of heart failure by using aortic regurgitation is reliable.The aortic regurgitation increa-ses cardiac preload, than leads to an increase of the left ventricular end-diastolic volume, and finally results in left ventric-ular hypertrophy and heart failure.The results of myocardial tissue gene chip test show that there are some changes in gene expression of the model rabbits.

This study was aimed to compare the efficacy of gastric banding (GB), Roux en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) and biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) in the treatment of rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Ani-mal models of T2DM were induced by streptozotocin (STZ) injection and high-sugar-fat diets. A total of 70 T2DM rats were randomly allocated into the GB group (G group, n = 20), RYGBP group (R group, n = 20), BPD group ( B group , n = 20 ) , and the sham operation group ( S group , n = 10 ) . The fasting blood glucose ( BG ) , triglyceride ( TG ) , total cholesterol ( TC ) and insulin ( INS ) content were determined before and 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 8 , 16 weeks after operation. The insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated. The mortality and complications were ob-served in each group. The results showed that the fasting weight of the GB group, RYGBP group and BPD group were (324.4 ± 22.5) g, (338.9 ± 17.5) g, (333.3 ± 28.4) g, respectively. The BG content was (12.44 ± 1.29) mmol/L, (9.70 ± 0.81) mmol/L, (11.93 ± 2.39) mmol/L, respectively. The TC content was (2.32 ± 0.45) mmol/L, (2.22 ± 0.79) mmol/L, (2.13 ± 0.31) mmol/L, respectively. The TG content was (1.38 ± 0.32) mmol/L, (1.16± 0.41) mmol/L, (1.23 ± 0.35) mmol/L, respectively. The ISI were (-6.38 ± 0.29), (-6.67 ± 0.24), (-6.65 ±0.23), respectively. And the INS content of the RYGBP group were (69.43 ± 18.73) mU/L. There were signifi-cant differences between before and after operation on the 16th week ( P < 0 . 05 , P < 0 . 01 ) . The mortality rate was 5% in the GB group, 20% in the RYGBP group, and 35% in the BPD group. It was concluded that the GB, RYGBP and BPD are effective in reducing blood glucose and blood lipids in the treatment of rat with T2DM. The treatment effect is obvious in the improvement of insulin resistance ( IR ) .
