AIM: To investigate the effects of atorvastatin calcium on vascular endothelial cells and circulating endothelial progenitor cells (CEPCs) in hypertensive rats. METHODS: Renal hypertension rat model was constructed with two-kidney-one-clip technique. Twenty-four male SD rats were randomized into hypertension group, statins group and sham-operated group (n=8 each). On the 4th week, the animals in statins group were injected with 20 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) atorvastatin calcium intra-abdominally for 8 weeks. Blood pressure and blood lipid were measured at 4th and 12th week post-operation. On the 12th week, scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the damage of aortic endothelial cells. The circulatory endothelial cell count, CEPCs count, CEPCs proliferation ability, CEPCs adhesion ability and CEPCs apoptosis were also measured. RESULTS: The injury of endothelial cells in statins group was observed, milder than that in hypertension group, but worsen than that in sham-operated group. The numbers of circulatory endothelial cells in hypertension group, statin treatment group and sham-operated group were 5.9×10~6, 3.9×10~6 and 2.0×10~6 respectively, and the CEPCs apoptosis rate was 22.1%±2.1%, 13.4%±1.6 %and 7.4%±1.3%, respectively. Meanwhile, the numbers of CEPCs were 21.63±2.33, 40.38±6.00 and 65.38±2.97, respectively, the proliferative abilities of CEPCs were 0.13±0.01, 0.17±0.01 and 0.29±0.03, respectively, and the adhesion of CEPCs was 12.25±2.49, 21.50±2.20 and 28.88±2.85, respectively. CONCLUSION: (1) The severity of vascular endothelial cell injury is related to hypertension states. (2) Atorvastatin calcium has direct protective effects on endothelial cells, possibly through increasing CEPCs count, reducing CEPCs apoptosis and markedly enhancing reparation ability of CEPCs to endothelial cells.

BACKGROUND: Being a traditional Chinese herb, huangqi (astragalus membranaceus) resists free radical, enhances immunity, promotes microcirculation and protects vascular endothelial cell and nervous system; of which, the protection of huangqi (astragalus membranaceus) on nervous vessel is related to its regulation on local cerebral cortical blood flow rate. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of huangqi (astragalus membranaceus) on local cerebral cortical blood flow rate after traumatic injury. DESIGN: Randomized paired experiment.SETTING: Neurological Surgical Institute of Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Traumatic Experimental Room of Neurological Surgical Institute of Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from February to May 2000, in which, 75 healthy male SD rats were employed and randomized into the control (5 rats), saline control (35 rats) and experimental group (35 rats). The latter two groups were subdivided into 7 time spots of 1, 3, 6, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after traumatic injury, 5 rats were involved in each spot.METHODS: In normal control, the model was not prepared and in the other two groups, the modified Feeney's method was used to establish craniocerebral traumatic model. In experimental group, right after injury, huangqi injection (5 g/kg) was applied abdominally and in saline control, physiological saline 0.5 mL was injected abdominally. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: It was to determine the blood flow rates in local cerebral cortex at corresponding time spots after traumatic injury. Fenestration was done in normal control for direct determination. RESULTS: By supplemented, 75 rats entered result analysis. Blood flow rates in local cerebral cortex: the rate in saline control 1 hour after trauma was lower than the control [(6.90±0.68), (7.94±0.65), P < 0.05], it was de creased to the minimum in 24 hours and began increasing in 48 hours [(5.86±0.61), (6.15±0.60)]; the rate in experimental group at every time spot was higher than saline control (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Huangqi (astragalus membranaceus) increases remark ably blood flow rate in local cerebral cortex, which is associated with its neurovascular protection.
