Objective Ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning can provide certain protection for myocardium .The ar-ticle was designed to observe the protective effect of salidroside on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury ( MIRI) and explore its mech-anisms. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups with 6 rats for each: sham operation group (S group), ischemia-reperfusion group(I/R group), salidroside preventive group(salidroside treatment followed by ischemia-reperfusion), salidroside treat-ment group (ischemia-reperfusion followed by salidroside treatment ), salidroside preventive+LY group(LY294002 preventive group) and salidroside treatment+LY group(LY294002 treatment group).Salidroside was administered once a day for three days before mod-elling in both salidroside preventive group and LY 294002 preventive group;while salidroside was given immediately after the reperfu-sion in both salidroside treatment group and LY 294002 treatment group .The same volume of NS was administered only to the rats in S group and I/R group.The PI3K inhibitor(LY294002) was given additionally 35 mins before LAD ligation in both LY294002 preventive group and LY294002 treatment group .All injections were given intraperitoneally .Akt, p-Akt, GSK-3βand p-GSK-3βin myocardium were examined with immunocytochemical method in all groups .The protein expression and phosphorrylation status of Akt /GSK-3βwere determined by western blot. Results The levels of Akt/GSK-3βin myocardium of S group(0.246 ±0.002), I/R group(0.457 ± 0.012), LY294002 preventive group(0.303 ±0.005), LY294002 treatment group(0.361 ±0.019) decreased significantly in com-parison to those of salidroside preventive group (0.857 ±0.014) and salidroside treatment group(0.683 ±0.009)(P<0.05).The levels of p-GSK-3β/GSK-3βin myocardium of S group (0.137 ±0.004), I/R group(0.380 ±0.026), LY294002 preventive group(0.148 ± 0.013), LY294002 treatment group(0.267 ±0.050) also decreased significantly in comparison to those of salidroside preventive group (0.944 ±0.045) and salidroside treatment group (0.895 ±0.043) (P<0.05).As to the comparison between salidroside preventive group and salidroside treatment group , there was no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion The result indicates that salidro-side protects myocardium against MIRI in rats .The cardioprotective effect might be associated with the increased protein expression and the phosphorylation rate of Akt/GSK-3β.

Objective To investigate the value of MSCT in assessing bowel ischemia of small-bowel obstruction .Methods CT images and electronic medical records of 40 patients with small-bowel obstruction were retrospectively evaluated.Patients were treated by surgery.The CT signs of bowel ischemia were recorded.Relationship between CT signs and bowel ischemia were tested by Fisher exact andχ2 test.Sensitivity and specificity of MSCT for ischemia were also assessed.Results Bowel ischemia was confirmed at surgery and/or pathological examination in 21 of 40 patients.Diminished enhancement after contrast agent injection was the most common sign in bowel ischemia patients.The signs of increased bowel-wall attenuation on non enhanced images and diminished enhancement after contrast agent injection were significantly associated with ischemia (P <0.000 1).The signs of increased bowel-wall attenuation on non enhanced images and pneumatosis intestinalis had high sensitivity(100%).The sign of diminished enhancement after contrast agent injection had high sensitivity(95.2%)and specificity(94.7%).Conclusion MSCT is accurate in assessing bowel ischemia of small-bowel obstruction, and improves the timeliness and diagnosis for this disease.

Objective To establish a matrine delivery system in vitreous is very important for the dynamic treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) . Present study was to evaluate the efficacy of matrine polyactic acid microsphere(MAT-PLA-MS) in prevention of PVR. Methods The suspension of cultured fibroblasts was injected into vitreous cavity of 30 healthy adult New Zealand albino rabbits to induce PVR. Then the experimental rabbits were divided into 3 groups and 10 rabbits for each. The animals received intravitreal injection of 0.3 mL MAT-PLA-MS(4 mg) matrine in MAT-PLA-MS group. Free matrine normal sodium solution 0.3 mL(containing 2mg matrine) was injected in vitreous cavity in free matrine group. 0. 3 mL normal saline solution was injected into the vitreous of the left eyes and the equivalent volume of blank polyaetic acid microsphere(blank-PLA-MS) into the right eyes in control group. The changes of cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous and fundus were examined and recorded by slit lamp biomicroscope, indirect ophthalmoscope, fundus color camera and B ultrasonogram on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 35th day following injection of drug. The inhibition effect of matrine on PVR was evaluated according to Ryan' s grading criteria of PVR. Results On the 14th days after implantation of MAT-PLA-MS, the rate of retinal detachment was 60%, 10%, 5% and 60% in normal saline group, free matrine group, MAT-PLA-MS group and blank-PLA-MS group respectively. Statistically significant difference was found among normal saline group, blank-PLA-MS group, MAT-PLA-MS group and free matrine group(P ＜0. 05). On the 21st day after injection of fibroblasts, the morbidity of retinal detachment was 80%, 30%, 10% and 80% in normal saline group, free matrine group, MAT-PLA-MS group and blank-PLA-MS group respectively, showing a significant difference among different groups. On the 28th day, the incidence rate of retinal detachment was 90%, 50%, 15% and 90% respectively, presenting statistical difference among various groups (P ＜ 0. 05) as well as between free matrine group and MAT-PLA-MS group (P＜0. 05). On the 35th day, considerably difference also was seen in the morbidity of retinal detachment among various groups (90%, 60%, 15% and 90% respectively) (P＜0.05). Conclusion Implantation of MAT-PLA-M S into vitreous cavity can effectively inhibit the development of PVR induced by fibroblasts in rabbit model.

Objective To explore the protection effects of the reduced form of nicotinamide-adenine denucleotid(NADH) on cardiac fibroblasts apoptosis induced by hydrazine in vitro.Methods Cardiac fibroblasts isolated from neonate rats were divided into four groups.In NADH pretreatment before hydrazine treatment group,the cardiac fibroblasts were cultured first in the medium containing 400?g/ml NADH for 2 hours,and then cultured in the medium containing 400?g/ml NADH plus 2mmol/L hydrazine for 72 hours;in hydrazine treatment group,the cardiac fibroblasts were cultured first in normal medium containing 400?g/ml NADH for 2 hours and then cultured in the medium containing 2mmol/L hydrazine for 72 hours;in control group,the cardiac fibroblasts were cultured only in normal medium for 72 hours;and in NADH pretreatment control group,the cardiac fibroblasts were cultured in medium containing 400?g/ml NADH for 72 hours.After the treatments mentioned above,the changes in nuclear of apoptotic cardiac fibroblasts as stained by Hoechst33258 were observed under fluorescence microscope,the apoptotic and necrosis rates of cardiac fibroblasts stained by AnnexinⅤ/PI were assayed by flow cytometry,the mitochondria membrane potential of cells stained by rhodamine123 was also assayed by flow cytometry.Results Hydrazine could induce apoptosis of the cardiac fibroblasts.After NADH pretreatment,the number of apoptotic cardiac fibroblasts with pyknosis of nuclear was lowered,the rates of apoptosis and necrosis decreased,and the mitochondria membrane potential of cells was elevated.Conclusion NADH pretreatment could reduce the apoptosis induced by hydrazine by improving the function of mitochondria.
