Objective To observe the protection effect of thrombopoietin on adriamycin-inducod acute myocardium injury in rats model.Methods 32 Wistar rats were randomized into four groups (n=8):Control group,ADM group,ADM +TPOL group and ADM +TPOH group.All agents were given by intraperitoneal injection.The control group was given normal saline,while the other three groups were given adriamycin at the dosage of 20 mg/kg once.TPO groups were injected TPO at different dosages of 10 μg/kg or 30 μg/kg three times on alternate days.ELISA was used to detect CK-MB and cTnI content of serum in the rats.By HE staining,pathological change was found and grade of tissue morphology was scored.The ultrastructure change of cadiocyte was observed by the electron microscope.Results The energy of CK-MB (14.65±1.91,14.21±1.70) and cTNI (9.66±1.31,10.07±1.20) in TPO groups were obviously lower than that of the ADM group(19.58±3.49,12.50±1.62) (P<0.05),respectively.Pathological score of ADM group was higher than TPO groups (P<0.01).The ultrastructure of myecard tissue in the ADM group was damaged more severely than TPO groups.Above-mentioned indexes were with no significant difference between ADM+TPOL group and ADM+TPOH group.Conclusion TPO can protect the heart which was injured by the ADM.

Objective To inwst the antagonistic effect of thrombopoietin on adriamycin induced myocardium injury in rats and explore the mechanism.Methods 32 Wistar rats were randomized into four groups(n=8):Control group,ADM group,ADM+TPOL group and ADM+TPOH group.All agents were given by intraperitoneal injection.The control group was given saline.While the other three groups were given adriamycin at the dosage of20mg/kg.TPO group were injected TPO at the dosages of 10μg/kg or 30μg/kg three times on alternale days.ELISA was used to detect the concentration of CK-MB and cTnI in the serum of rats.The change of cardiocyte ultrastructure was observed by the electron microscope,and pathological change Was observed by immunohistochemistry staining.The expression level of 8- hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosin(8-OHdG)produced by DNA oxidative damage in myocard tissue were detected.IPP6.0 software was used to detect IOD and calculate the 8-OHdG index.Results The energy of CK-MB and cTNI of TPO group was obviously lower than that in ADM group(P<0.01).The ultragtrueture of cardiocyte in the ADM group Wag damaged more severely than that in TPO group.Pathological Score,IOD and 8-OHdG index of TPO groups were lower than ADM group(P<0.05).These indexes had no significant statistics difference between ADM+TPOL group and ADM+TPOH group.Conclusions TPO can provide heart protection by antagonizing oxidative damage of myocardial cell induced by edriamycin.

Objective: This study aimed at determining the characteristics of the glucose homeostasis and its relationship with iron overload of the patients with β-thalassemia major (β-TM). Method: From Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital between January 2014 and December 2015, a total of 57 transfusion-dependent β-TM patients with 5-18 years old were enrolled in this study and fasting blood glucose(FBG) and insulin level, serum ferritin (SF), serum iron, transferrin, total iron binding capacity, unsaturated iron binding capacity were determined.Insulin resistance index (IRI), insulin sensitivity index and β-cell function index (BFI) were also estimated. Besides, in 36 patients cardiac T2* and liver T2* were estimated. Result: (1) Four patients(7%) with β-TM were diagnosed diabetes mellitus, and 14(24%) had impaired fasting glucose. (2) The incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism was significantly different according to levels of SF and degrees of the cardiac iron overload(χ²=9.737, P<0.05; χ²=17.027, P<0.05). It rose while the level of SF increased and the degree of cardiac iron overload aggravated. (3) The incidence of abnormal glucose level was not significantly different in cases with different degree of liver iron overload.The severe group of liver iron overload had significantly higher levels of INS, HOMA-βFI, HOMA-ISI, HOMA-βFI than the non-severe group (Z=-2.434, -2.515, F=8.658, all P<0.05), while no differences were found in the level of FBG, HOMA-βFI between two groups. (4) The result of logistic regression analysis indicated that the cardiac T2* was a significant predictor for the incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism in TM patients (P=0.035, OR=1.182%, 95%CI=1.048 to 1.332). Conclusion The high prevalence of abnormal glucose metabolism in β-TM patients was mainly closely related with the internal iron overload, especially in organs.The cardiac T2* was an independent risk factor for the incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism in TM patients.

Evaluating the consistency of herb injectable formulations could improve their product quality and clinical safety, particularly concerning the composition and content levels of trace ingredients. Panax notoginseng Saponins Injection (PNSI), widely used in China for treating acute cardiovascular diseases, contains low-abundance (10%-25%) and trace saponins in addition to its five main constituents (notoginsenoside R₁, ginsenoside Rg₁, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rb₁, and ginsenoside Rd). This study aimed to establish a robust analytical method and assess the variability in trace saponin levels within PNSI from different vendors and formulation types. To achieve this, a liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method employing multiple ions monitoring (MIM) was developed. A "post-column valve switching" strategy was implemented to eliminate highly abundant peaks (NR₁, Rg₁, and Re) at 26 min. A total of 51 saponins in PNSI were quantified or relatively quantified using 18 saponin standards, with digoxin as the internal standard. This study evaluated 119 batches of PNSI from seven vendors, revealing significant variability in trace saponin levels among different vendors and formulation types. These findings highlight the importance of consistent content in low-abundance and trace saponins to ensure product control and clinical safety. Standardization of these ingredients is crucial for maintaining the quality and effectiveness of PNSI in treating acute cardiovascular diseases.
