Aim To investigate the angiogenic promoting effect of Morinda officinalis How oligosaccharides(MOO) in the ischemic myocardium of rats after acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods 40 male Wistar rats were established into AMI model successfully and were randomly divided into 5 groups equally, i. e. the low, medium and high doses of MOO groups, the Shexiangbaoxin group and the model group. They were treated with different doses of the water fraction of the ethanolic extract of Radix morinda officinalis (0.7, 1.4, 2.8 mg·kg~(-1) ·d~(-1)), suspension liquid of Shexiangbaoxin Pill(30 mg·kg~(-1) ·d~(-1)) and distilled water with the same volume respectively.Besides, a sham operated group with 10 rats was set up for control. All rats were sacrificed after 6-week-treatment.The Ⅷ coagulation factor, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) protein in ischemic myocardium of rats in each group were detected by immunohistochemistry assay.The microvessel density(MVD) was calculated. Gray values of protein expression of VEGF and bFGF in ischemic myocardium were calculated and analyzed by image analysis system.Results The MVD, the gray values of VGF and bFGF were higher in the medium and high doses of MOO groups than those in the model group(P <0.05), but still lower than those in the Shexiangbaoxin group(P <0.05). The MVD and the gray values of VEGF among 3 doses of MOO groups showed significant differences (P <0.05).Significant differences of gray value of bFGF were observed between small and middle doses of MOO groups, also between small and large doses of groups(P <0.05).Conclusion MOO can obviously promote angiogenesis in the ischemic myocardium of the rats after AMI.And up-regulating expressions of VEGF and bFGF protein in the ischemic myocardium may act as one of its angiogenic promoting mechanisms.

To identify the genotype and analyze the molecular characteristics of dengue virus strain SZ0524 isolated from serum samples of patients with early stage of dengue fever in Shenzhen in 2005 so as to explore its possible origin. The C6/36 cell line was cultivated with virus strain SZ0524 and its suspension was harvested. The type of isolated virus strain was determined by RT-semi-nested PCR and fluorescent PCR. E gene of isolated virus strain was amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. Homology and phylogenetic tree of E gene of this dengue virus with the strains isolated from other areas were constructed. This SZ0524 strain was further identified by fluorescent PCR, and confirmed to be the type 4 virus after obtaining the 392bp band with type 4 specific primers. The homology of nucleotide sequence of E gene of SZ0524 strain with the standard type 4 dengue virus H241 strain were 99.7%, but the homology with the standard dengue virus 1,2,3 in the same fragment were 57.0%, 59.2% and 56.2% respectively. Analysis of the phylogenetic tree indicated that SZ0524 was more close to D4-73NIID and D4-61NIID strain, next to H241 strain, and they lied in the same branch of phylogenetic tree. The isolated dengue virus type 4 belonged to genotype Ⅰand the SZ0524 strain was proved to be dengue virus type 4 in the molecular level. Combined with epidemiology information, it is suggested that this case can be classified as an imported case and the SZ0524 strain may be transferred from the southeast asian region.
