International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(9):668-672
Objective To observe the effects of the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),intracerebral hemorrhage volumae and blood-brain barrier permeability after embolic cerebral ischemia and thrombolysis with urokinase(UK)and to investigate the relationship between MMP-9 and blood-brain barrier permeability and intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis. Methods A rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was established by intracarotid injection of autologous blood clots.UK was given intravenously at 6 hours after ischemia. After 24 hours. the expressions of MMP-9 in brain tissue, blood-brain barrier permeability, cerebral infarct volume, and intracerebral hemorrhage volume were detected by the immunohistochemical method, Evans blue extravasation method, TTC staining method, and spectrophotometric method,respectively. Results The expressions of MMP-9 in a cerebral ischemic group were significantly higher than those in a sham-operation group(P<0.01),and in the UK group they were significantly higher than those in the cerebral ischemic group (P<0.01).The Evens blue content in the cerebral ischemic group was 5774.00±1659.70 ng/g, which was significantly higher than 643.33±151.34 ng/g in the sham-operation group (P<0.01),and in the UK group was 6283.83±1099.28 ng/g, there was a tendency higher than in the cerebral ischemic group. The intracerebral hemorrhage volumes in the UK and cerebral ischemic groups were 3.16±8.84μl(median±quartile)and 0.00±1.48μl, respectively, and the inciderices of intracerebral hemorrhage were 25.00%%and 4.17%.respectively.Conclusions UK thrombolysis may upregulate the expressions of MMP-9.and its expressions are associated with the increased blood-brain barrier permeability and intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis.

Objective To observe the effects of dual antiplatelet therapy at different time after cervical artery stenting and to investigate the reasonable time for dual antiplatelet therapy. Methods Sixty-six patients with symptomatic cervical artery artery stenosis >50% or asymptomatic stenosis >70% performed stenting under local anesthesia. They were randomly allocated into dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin + clopidogrel) for 1 month and for 3-month groups after procedure, and then they began to take aspirin for a long time. The complications, vascular events, and the incidence of restenosis were observed respectively. Results There were no vascular events and death in both groups from 6 to 36 months after procedure. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complication and restenosis (9% vs. 6%, P = 0. 642). Conclusions There was no significant difference in the efficacy of aspirin + clopidogrel treatment after cervical artery stenting between 1 month and 3 months. One month dual antiplatelet therapy may be appropriate, but large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm it.

Objective To explore liver protective effects of the stems and leaves and roots of Scutellariae Radix from different areas of Gansu Province;To discuss differences in liver protection of the stems and leaves and roots of Scutellariae Radix. Methods All Kunming mice were randomly divided into 11 groups:normal group, model group, positive control group, Scutellariae Radix root groups and Scutellariae Radix stem-leaf groups of Longxi, Minxian, Weiyuan, Zhangxian. The mice received gavage with relevant medicine once a day for 7 days. 2 hours after the last medication, the mice were given peritoneal injection with 0.1%CCl4 and olive oil to establish the models with liver injury. Hepatic index, the activity of serum ALT and AST, the levels of T-AOC in the liver tissue were calculated in 18 hours after establishing the models. Results Compared with the model group, hepatic index, the activity of serum ALT and AST in the mice of Scutellariae Radix root groups from difference producing areas decreased significantly (P<0.05);the levels of T-AOC in the liver tissue was raised notably (P<0.05). Compared with stem-leaf groups from the same producing area, hepatic index, the activity of ALT and AST in the mice of Scutellariae Radix root groups were remarkably lower than these of Scutellariae Radix stem-leaf groups (P<0.05);the levels of T-AOC in the liver tissue was evidently higher than that of Scutellariae Radix stem-leaf group (P<0.05). Conclusion Scutellariae Radix root water decoction can prevent and protect CCl4-induced acute liver injury to a certain degree, while Scutellariae Radix stem-leaf water decoction shows no significant protective effect on acute liver injury.

Objective To study the antitumor effects of Scutellaria Radix extracts on H22 transplanted tumor in mice and its possible mechanism.Methods The H22 transplanted mouse models were established by inoculating H22 to mice. 60 mice were randomly divided into model group, 5-Fu group, low-, medium- and high-dose Scutellaria Radix extracts groups, with 12 normal mice as control group. All administration groups received gavage with relevant medicine. And then the body weight change, tumor growth inhibitory rate, and spleen and thymus indexes were calculated;the T-AOC and activities of SOD, and MDA content in serum were detected by spectrophotometer;DNA damage of peripheral blood lymphocytes was observed by single cell gel electrophoresis.Results Medium- and high-dose Scutellaria Radix extracts can significantly inhibit the growth of transplanted tumor. Compared with 5-Fu group, medium- and high-dose Scutellaria Radix extracts groups notably increased the body weight, spleen and thymus indexes of mice, promoted T-AOC and activities of SOD, and decreased MDA content in serum, as well as notably reduced DNA damage of peripheral blood lymphocytes.Conclusion Scutellaria Radix extracts have obvious antitumor effects on H22 transplanted tumor in mice and the possible mechanisms may be due to lightening the damage of normal tissue and cell from tumor, enhancing immunologic function and improving antioxidant capability of H22 bearing mice.
