Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2006;41(2):161-165
Aim To investigate the bio-affinities of ligustilide and butylidenephthalide to rat aortic smooth muscle cells and the inhibitory effects of them on bFGF-stimulated proliferation of rat vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC). Methods VSMCs were cultured from rat aorta pectoralis and identified by an immunohistochemical method. The bio-affinities between solute (ligustilide or butylidenephthalide) and cell membrane were measured by rat aortic cell membrane chromatography (CMC). The inhibitory effects of ligustilide and butylidenephthalide on bFGF-stimulated VSMC proliferation were evaluated by MTT colorimetric method. Results Both ligustilide and butylidenephthalide had selective affinities to rat aortic smooth muscle cell as the same as verapamil, one of the calcium ion antagonists. They could potently separately (P < 0.05 ), but had no effects on the normal VSMC growth. Conclusion Both ligustilide and butylidenephthalide can inhibit the abnormal proliferation of VSMC induced by bFGF.

6.An experimental study on Huangqi injection associated with a combined treatment on protective effects of heart after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rabbits
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine in Intensive and Critical Care 2014;(4):241-244
Objective To observe the effects of Huangqi injection associated with a combined treatment on changes of hemodynamics indexes and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in rabbit models with cardiac arrest (CA) to elucidate the mechanism of such cardiac protective effects. Methods Twenty-four New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups(each,n=6). The CPR model in rabbits was reproduced by using extra-corporal electric shock method(put through 50 V alternating current to quiver on chest). The animals in operation control group were given anesthesia,all kinds of catheter inserted into the body and tracheotomy,but no induction of ventricular fibrillation. In the epinephrine group,epinephrine (30 μg/kg)was injected into the right jugular vein by a catheter during CPR. In the sub-hypothermia group, epinephrine(30μg/kg)was injected into the right jugular vein via a catheter and 0.9%sodium chloride under 4℃at a rate of 1.0 mL · kg-1 · min-1 was pumped into the ear marginal vein simultaneously with the chest external compressions during CPR and the cooling of body surface sustaining at the target temperature (32-34℃) for 4 hours until the end of the experiment. In the combined treatment group,Huangqi injection(4 g/kg)was injected into the right jugular vein on the basis of treatment of sub-hypothermia group. Hemodynamics indexes such as left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP),the maximal rate of left ventricular pressure increase/decline(±dp/dt max),and the mean arterial pressure(MAP)were dynamically monitored at 15 minutes before inducing ventricular fibrillation and at the early stage of post resuscitation for 30,60,120,180,240 minutes,and in the mean time the concentration of BNP was dynamically monitored at 15 minutes before inducing ventricular fibrillation and at the early stage of post resuscitation for 30,180,240 minutes. Results Compared with those of the operation control group,the levels of LVEDP and BNP of epinephrine,sub-hypothermia and combined treatment groups were gradually increased obviously,while ±dp/dt max and MAP were decreased significantly after successful CPR. The levels of LVEDP and BNP at any time point in the combined treatment group were markedly less than those of the epinephrine and sub-hypothermia groups,and along with the time extension,the level of LVEDP had a tendency of elevation,and the level of BNP had a tendency of gradual decrease,reaching peak and valley values respectively at 240 minutes after CPR〔LVEDP (mmHg,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):6.56±0.21 vs. 12.57±0.33,9.54±0.24,BNP(ng/L):199±19 vs. 286±14, 251±29,all P<0.01〕,at each time point,the ±dp/dt max and MAP levels were significantly higher than those in epinephrine and sub-hypothermia groups,and they were gradually decreased with the time prolongation,reaching valley values at 240 minutes after CPR〔+dp/dt max(mmHg/ms):4 229±353 vs. 2 055±311,3 224±158,-dp/dt max(mmHg/ms):3 587±168 vs. 1 315±189,2 357±245,MAP(mmHg):82.02±1.81 vs. 44.15±1.17, 56.79±1.60,all P<0.01〕. Conclusion Huangqi injection associated with a combined treatment has obvious protective effects on heart after CPR in rabbits,and the mechanism may be related to improvement of hemodynamics indexes and inhibition of excessive expression of BNP.

9.Portal azygous devascularization for the treatment of patients with portal hypertension
Chinese Journal of General Surgery 1997;0(04):-
Objective To evaluate therapeutic effects of portal azygous devascularization on patients with portal hypertension. Methods In this study, data of 212 patients with portal hypertension who underwent devascularization were analyzed retrospectively. Among them 52% patients had a history of variceal bleeding. Preoperative Child A accounted for 15% patients, B for 57% and C for 27%. Emergent operation and selective operation were performed in 11% and 89% cases, respectively. Hassab procedure was performed in 176 cases (83%), whereas modified Sugiura procedure in 36 cases (17%). Results Portal vein pressure decreased from (40?6) cm?H 2O to (36?7) cm?H 2O. The re-bleeding rate of 3, 5,10 years were 2%, 6%, 11%, and the survival rates of 3, 5, 10 years were 97%, 92% and 89%, respectively. Conclusions Devascularization is an effective procedure in controlling bleeding with low incidence of liver failure, operation mortality and encephalopathy. Emergent operation should be avoided as it causes high morbidity and mortality. The decreased portal pressure following devascularization may result in a reduced blood supply to the liver. Persistent exasperation of the liver function caused by chronic hepatitis and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma are the two major factors endangering long-term survival.
10.HISTOGENESIS OF THE HUMAN APPENDIX
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1954;0(02):-
In this article 108 human fetuses from 12 to 30 weeks of gestation, 3 neonates and a 1.5 years child were used for study of the histogenesis of the appendix.In 12 weeks old fetus, the appendix showed small lumen and thin wall. The mucosa presented intestinal villi and crypts. The endocrine and goblet cells could be found. The circular muscle and serous membrane had differentiated. In the specimens of 13 to 15 weeks, the lamina propria contained diffused lymphatic tissue and lymphatic follicles. On such sites, the intestinal villi were absent. The surface epithelium became attenuate and composed of cuboid or lower cuboid cells. The outer longitudinal muscle layer was evident. The scattered muscularis mucosa was found. At 16 weeks, the endocrine cells appeared and showed various forms. The open-type or closed-type endocrine cells could be distinguished easily. Under EM, based on the morphology of the basal granules, the endocrine cells might be divided into two types. The granules were cell enclosed in a limiting membrane. One type of the granules was round and various in size, and another type was irregular. In the surface epithelium covered on the lymphatic tissue, the microfold cells could be found. They showed irregular microvilli or mierofolds and numerous apical micropinocytotic vesicles. At 18.5 weeks, the villi tended to merge each other. At 20 weeks, the muscularis mucosa was formed and the 4 layers of appendix resembled those of the normal adult. We found endocrine cells aggregated into Segi's cap on the apex of the villi in 7 fetuses of 16-21 weeks. The T or B lymphocytes could be identified as early as 13.5 weeks by immunologic method. We found the percentage of the B lymphocytes decreased with the gestation age, and this fact suggested that the appendix might be a B lymphocyte pool during the fetal period.
