Tianjin Medical Journal 2017;45(5):529-532
Objective To study the clinical effect of endovascular treatment on complex TASC-D type aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). Methods Clinical data of 27 patients (35 limbs) of the TASC-D type AIOD were collected in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery and were retrospectively analyzed. According to the Fontaine staging and the corresponding imaging examination before surgery, the therapy programme was worked out. Two limbs received thrombectomies, and 33 limbs received endovascular treatments including 5 limbs received percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), 24 limbs received percutaneous transluminal angioplasty stenting (PTAS), and 4 limbs underwent catheter-directed thrombolysis. Patients were followed up for 3 to 36 months regularly by telephone or outpatient after operation. The clinical symptoms, ankle brachial index (ABI), complications and cumulative primary patency rates were evaluated. Results The overall success rate of endovascular treatment was 90.9% (30/33). Two limbs treated with PTAS and one limb with catheter-directed thormbolysis showed a poor outcome. ABI increased from (0.40 ± 0.15) prehospital to (0.82±0.20) for 1 month. After therapy for one year, the primary patency rate was 93.3%(28/30). At 24 months, the primary patency rate was 83.3%(25/30), and limb salvage rate was 94.3%(33/35). One limb resulted in above ankle amputation 10 days after admission to hospital, and 1 limb underwent toe amputation in 2 months after operation. Conclusion Endovascular therapy is a safe and effective method for TASC-D AIOD, which shows satisfactory clinical outcomes with short-term to mid-term patency rates.

OBJECTIVE: To study the improvement effects of fibrinolytic enzyme from Sipunculus nudus (SNFE) on hemorheology disorder and vascular endothelium injury in naked acute blood stasis model rats. METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, aspirin group (100 mg/kg) and SNFE high-dose and low-dose groups (2 500, 5 000 U/kg), with 10 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically once a day, for consecutive 7 d. One hour after the 6th day of administration, except for control group, other groups were given adrenaline hydrochloride 0.8 mg/kg subcutaneously, and then the acute blood stasis model was induced by ice-water bath. Blood was collected from abdominal aorta 2 h after the next day. Blood rheological parameters such as whole blood viscosity (high, medium and low shear rate), plasma viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte aggregation index and erythrocyte deformability index were measured by automatic rheometer. The contents of NO and ET-1 in plasma and their ratio were determined by ELISA, and the damaged degree of vascular endothelium were observed by HE staining. RESULTS: Compared with control group, whole blood viscosity of high, medium and low-shear rate, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index and ET-1 content were increased significantly in model group, while erythrocyte deformability index, NO content and NO/ET-1 ratio were decreased significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, whole blood viscosity of high, medium and low-shear rate, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte aggregation index and ET-1 content were decreased significantly in SNFE high-dose groups. Erythrocyte deformability index, NO content and NO/ET-1 ratio were increased significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In SNFE low-dose group, erythrocyte deformability index and NO/ET-1 ratio were increased significantly, while ET-1 content was decreased significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Vascular endothelial staining showed that compared with control group, the structure of aorta layers in model group was loose and disordered, the endothelial defect was incomplete, the vacuoles increased, and the endothelial damage was obvious. The endothelium of rats in each administration group was damaged to varying degrees, but the degree of injury was lighter than in model group. CONCLUSIONS: SNFE can improve hemorheological abnormalities and vascular endothelial injury in rats with acute blood stasis.

As a common clinical disease, fracture is often accompanied by pain, swelling, bleeding as well as other symptoms and has a high disability rate, even threatening life, seriously endangering patients' physical and psychological health and quality of life. Medical practitioners take many strategies for the treatment of fracture healing, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In the early stage of fracture healing, the local fracture is often in a state of hypoxia, accompanied by the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), which is beneficial to wound healing. Through literature mining, we thought that hypoxia, HIF-1α and downstream factors affected the mechanism of fracture healing, as well as dominated this process. Therefore, we reviewed the local characteristics and related signaling pathways involved in the fracture healing process and summarized the intervention of TCM on these mechanisms, in order to inspirit the new strategy for fracture healing, as well as elaborate on the possible principles of TCM in treating fractures based on the HIF molecular mechanism.

All compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.Compounds(1-15) were evaluated for their hypoglycemic activities by PTP1B enzyme model. Among them, compounds 2, 12, and 14 showed significant PTP1B inhibitory activities with IC₅₀ values of 2.54, 1.85, 2.11 μmol•L⁻¹, respectively.

ObjectiveTo improve the quality standard of Yuanhu Zhitong oral liquid in order to strengthen the quality control of this oral liquid. MethodThin layer chromatography(TLC) was used for the qualitative identification of Corydalis Rhizoma and Angelicae Dahuricae Radix in Yuanhu Zhitong oral liquid by taking tetrahydropalmatine, corydaline reference substances and Corydalis Rhizoma reference medicinal materials as reference, and cyclohexane-trichloromethane-methanol(5∶3∶0.5) as developing solvent, Corydalis Rhizoma was identified using GF254 glass thin layer plate under ultraviolet light(365 nm). And taking petroleum ether(60-90 ℃) -ether-formic acid(10∶10∶1) as developing solvent, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix was identified using a silica gel G TLC plate under ultraviolet light(305 nm). High performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was performed on a Waters XSelect HSS T3 column(4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) with acetonitrile(A)-0.1% glacial acetic acid solution(adjusted pH to 6.1 by triethylamine)(B) as the mobile phase for gradient elution(0-10 min, 20%-30%A; 10-25 min, 30%-40%A; 25-40 min, 40%-50%A; 40-60 min, 50%-60%A), the detection wavelength was set at 280 nm, then the fingerprint of Yuanhu Zhitong oral liquid was established, and the contents of tetrahydropalmatine and corydaline were determined. ResultIn the thin layer chromatograms, the corresponding spots of Yuanhu Zhitong oral liquid, the reference substances and reference medicinal materials were clear, with good separation and strong specificity. A total of 12 common peaks were identified in 10 batches of Yuanhu Zhitong oral liquid samples, and the peaks of berberine hydrochloride, dehydrocorydaline, glaucine, tetrahydropalmatine and corydaline. The similarities between the 10 batches of samples and the control fingerprint were all >0.90. The results of determination showed that the concentrations of corydaline and tetrahydropalmatine had good linearity with paek area in the range of 0.038 6-0.193 0, 0.034 0-0.170 0 g·L-1, respectively. The methodological investigation was qualified, and the contents of corydaline and tetrahydropalmatine in 10 batches of Yuanhu Zhitong oral liquid samples were 0.077 5-0.142 9、0.126 1-0.178 2 g·L-1, respectively. ConclusionThe established TLC, fingerprint and determination are simple, specific and reproducible, which can be used to improve the quality control standard of Yuanhu Zhitong oral liquid.
