Objective To extract alkaloids from Corydalis decumbens (AsCD) by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction (SFE) and to evaluate protective effects of AsCD against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced apoptosis in rat PC12 cells.Methods AsCD were extracted by SFE and oxidative damage PC12 cells model was induced by H2O2.The survival rate of the cells was determined by MTT assay; Lactate dehydrogenase release was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry; Flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis; Caspase-3 mRNA and protein were determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting assay,respectively.Results AsCD remarkably reduced the cytotoxicity,prevented membrane damage,and inhibited cell apoptosis.AsCD inhibited Caspase-3 mRNA and protein expression induced by H2O2 in PC12 cells.Conclusion AsCD possess protective effects against H2O2-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells,and the mechanism of AsCD responsible to the inhibition of apoptosis is possibly attributed to thedown-regulating Caspase-3 expression.AsCD might be useful in the treatment of oxidative stress-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Objective To evaluate the surgical strategy for pulmonary valve preservation in repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and analyze the outcomes in young children patients.Methods A total of 211 TOF younger children less than threeyear-old between January 2009 and December 2015 had received pulmonary valve-sparing(PVS) surgical repair.At the end of the procedure,the peak RV/LV pressure ratio(PRV/PLV) and transannular pressure gradient were performed in all patients.114 patients had higher PRV/PLV rati ≥ 0.8.The former 54 patients,right ventricle infundubulum sparing (RVIS) stragery were made to relieve the RVOTO.However,only 8 patinets of the later 60 cases had received RVIS in TOF repair,whose systemic blood pressure was instable with the large dose of dopamine≥10 μg · kg-1 · min-1 and epinephrine≥0.05 μg · kg-1 · min-1 or the transannular pressure gradient≥30 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa).114 patients were divided by two group(52 cases in PVS group and 62 cases in RVIS group) and compared by the early outcomes.Results The median cardiopulmonary bypass time of RVIS group was significantly more than that of PVS group[(110.3 ± 12.0)min vs(77.7 ± 10.0)min].The postoperative index of the patients in PVS group,including transannular pressure gradient [(21.0 ± 5.4) mmHg vs (16.0 ± 3.6) mmHg,P < 0.05],PRV/PLV ratio(0.82 ± 0.03 vs.0.67 ± 0.12,P < 0.01),median using time of dopamine and epinephrine[(6.03 ±9.60)days vs.(4.20 ±1.90)days,P<0.01],median extubation time[(81.2 ±27.6)h vs.(38.5 ±33.0) h,P < 0.01],ICU stay time [(6.3 ± 1.7) days vs.(4.3 ± 1.9) days,P < 0.01],using of peritoneal dialysis (8/52 vs 4/62,P < 0.01)were more than those in RVIS group.There was no difference of mortality between two groups.Fellow up 12-50 months,there was no difference of LVEF,MPI and TAPSE between two groups.However,the severity of pulmonary regurgitation in patients of PVS group was significant less than those of RVIS group.Conclusion PVS and RVIS in TOF repair could decrease the severity of pulmonary regurgitation after operation.
