Objective To observe the preventive and therapeutic effects of the new process extracts ofTangwang Mingmu Granule on rats with diabetic retinopathy.Methods The best preparation process technology of drug extraction was improved and selected based on the traditional water decoction of Chinese medicine. The active ingredient of two processes were detected and compared by HPLC. In vitro and in vivo pharmacodynamic evaluation models were used to evaluate the drug effects and analyze its mechanism. MTT assay was used to analyze the inhibitory effects of extracts in the two processes on EA.hy 926 cell proliferation in vitro. The effects of two extracts on STZ induced rat diabetic microvascular disease and its related factors were observed by retinal slice staining and ELISA.Results Compared with the traditional process, the active ingredients of the extracts were improved by the new technology ofTangwang Mingmu Granule. The preparation process ofTangwang Mingmu Granule could significantly improve the diabetic rat retinal microvascular pathological state, and reduce the protein expression levels of angiogenesis related factors.Conclusion The new preparation process could effectively improve the active ingredients in the herbal extract. The extract of new technology showed a significantly effect on the diabetic rats in retinal microvascular pathology state. The mechanism may be related to the regulation of vascular cell adhesion molecules and inflammatory factors.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of different extracts ofTangwang Mingmu Granule on hypoxia induced gene expressions in vascular endothelial cells.Methods COCl2 intervention cells were used to copy hypoxia models. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells EA. Hy926 were divided into blank group, hypoxia model group,Tangwang Mingmu Granule group, extract 1 (glycosides and flavonoids) group, extract 2 (orgain acids and polysaccharides) group and extract 3 (alkaloids) group. The changes in gene expressions of VEGF, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, ICAM-1 and IL-1α mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.ResultsThe gene expression levels of VEGF, VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, ICAM-1 and IL-1α were significantly up-regulated under the hypoxic condition (P<0.05), and the ratio of VEGFR-1/VEGFR-2 was significantly reduced. However,Tangwang Mingmu Granule significantly reversed the expressions of these genes.Conclusion The function intensity of gene expressions weakens in the following sequence:glycosides and flavonoids>alkaloids>organic acids and polysaccharides inTangwang Mingmu Granule.

Objective To observe the mechanism of action of different extracts ofTangwang Mingmu Granules on high glucose induced VEGF and IL-1α gene and protein expressions in vascular endothelial cells.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells EA.hy926 were divided into six groups: blank, high glucose,Tangwang Mingmu Granules, extract 1 (glycoside and flavonoid), extract 2 (organic acid and polysaccharides) and extract 3 (alkaloids) groups. High concentration glucose was used to establish the high glucose model in EA.hy926 cells. The expressions of VEGF and IL-1α mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The contents of VEGF and IL-1α protein were tested by ELISA.Results The gene expression and protein levels of VEGF and IL-1α were significantly up-regulated under the high glucose condition (P<0.05). However, the above indicators were significantly reduced after the treatment ofTangwang Mingmu Granules. The activity of different parts ofTangwang Mingmu Granules was as follows: extract 1> extract 3> extract 2.Conclusion The action intensity of glycosides and flavonoids, alkaloids, organic acids and polysaccharides on VEGF and IL-1α expression inTangwang Mingmu Granules weakens in sequence.

Objective To research the effect of specialized health education on patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods A total of 406 patients after PCI were randomly divided into observation group (208 patients) and control group (198 patients).Patients in observation group accepted specialized health education , while patients were followed up by telephone for 4 times.The control group was given routine health education .The compliance and quality of life of patients at 12 after discharge in the two groups were compared .Results In the observation group , the 12-month recharge rate and complication rate were 7.21%and 8.17%, which were significantly lower than 31.82%and 28.79%in the control group (χ2 =11.078, 10.382, respectively;P<0.05).In the observation group, the scores of Seattle Angina Questionnaire of angina stability, angina frequency, treatment satisfaction and disease perception were (82.17 ±15.15), (89.05 ±2.25), (82.21 ±10.47) and (77.05 ±18.00), which were significantly higher than (70.00 ± 16.85), (75.50 ±9.10), (70.88 ±7.48) and (64.62 ±15.45) in the control group (t=5.045, 5.873, 9.312, 12.311, respectively;P <0.05 ).Conclusions Specialized health education is essential to the compliance and quality of life of patients after PCI .
