To study the repairing process of elastic fiber after anastosis of artery, 90 femoral arteries of rats were divided and end-to-end anastomosis was performed. 3,7,14,21,30, and 90 days after anastomosis, the arteries were harvested and the restructuring of the elastic fiber of ananstomosed arteries was studied with formic acid digestion method and observed under scanning electronic microscope. Three main stages could be identified in the course of elastic fiber restructaring: stage 1, quiescent stage; stage 2, proliferation stage; and stage 3, reconstruction stage. After anastomosis of an artery, there was a remodeling process involving elastic fibers, and the repair of elastic fiber takes a neointimal model. The amount of elastic fiber increases markedly 30 days after the anastomosis, and its morphological structure becomes stable.

Objective To study the regeneration regularity of neuropeptide Y positive(NPY+) nerves in splenic autotransplantation. Methods Healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups:(1)splenectomy and splenic autotransplantation group;(2) sham-operation group. Regeneration process and density changes of the NPY+ nerve fibers in the two groups were studied by immunohistochemical methods and computer image analysis qualification on day 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 postoperatively. Results The NPY+ nerve fibers had no regeneration on day 30 postoperatively, but on day 60 nerve fibers appeared in the peri-region of the autotransplanted spleen, on day 90 nerve fibers extended into the inner-part of splenic autotransplants. Density of the nerve fibers gradually became greater and almost normal on 180 days after operation. Conclusions After splenic autotransplantation, the NPY+ nerve fibers could be regeneration in the autotransplants tissue. The renascent nerve fibers came from greater omentum which wrapes the splenic autografts.

The data of arterial pressure and diameter were measured in vivo before and after normal anastomosis and tensional anastomosis in canine femoral arteries at different time intervals. The arterial compliance was calculated, and the exponential form C = bemPa was employed to fit the compliance (C)- average pressure (Pa) curve. The relationship between compliance and average pressure was determined. The results showed that the compliance of arteries decreased after anastomosis, and the compliance of arteries after tensional anastomosis was lower than that of normal anastomosis at different time intervals. It was decreased most markedly at 14 days after tensional anastomosis. This indicated that the distensibility of tensional anastomotic artery was decreased more markedly than that of normal anastomotic artery. The function of artery was evidently affected by tensional anastomosis.

Objective: To study the mechanism and significance of pH change in the coronary artery microthrombosis of rats. Methods: After the sodium laurate-induced model of coronary artery microthrombosis of rats was constructed, the vascular endothelial cells were separated and then cultured in the mediums with different pH values for 24 h. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the content of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in the medium; while the real-time PCR and western blot assay were used to detect the expression of fibrinogen-like protein 2 (FGL2) at the mRNA and protein level. The comprehensive evaluation was performed to discuss the effect of pH change on the coronary artery microthrombosis of rats. Results: The expression level of vWF detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was 336.67 ± 24.95, 311.33 ± 14.98, 359.67 ± 39.63, 354.67 ± 49.01 and 332.00 ± 33.42 (pg/mL) respectively; while the expression of vWF in the model group was 570.00 ± 57.94, 524.67 ± 57.94, 437.00 ± 95.38, 415.33 ± 44.38 and 444.67 ± 74.31 respectively. Being cultured under the different pH values, the relative expression level of FGL2 mRNA in the model group was 7.93 ± 0.93, 6.70 ± 0.70, 5.03 ± 0.32, 5.13 ± 0.40 and 5.57 ± 0.83 respectively. Conclusions: The coronary artery microthrombosis of rats can cause the high expression and secretion of vWF. Meanwhile, FGL2 is also up-regulated in the thrombosis and such up-regulation is more significant in the condition with low pH, which indicates that the low pH condition may be one of factors that contribute to the cardiovascular diseases.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of Qiju Dihuangtang combined with Chinese medicine fumigation in the treatment of dry eye and its effect on the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in tears. MethodA total of 120 patients with dry eye of liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome who were treated in the Department of Ophthalmology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) from october 2019 to october 2021 were randomized into the observation group and control group. The control group was given sodium hyaluronate eye drops, and the observation group was treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops, Qiju Dihuangtang, and Chinese medicine fumigation. The treatment lasted 30 days for both groups. The changes of ocular surface disease index (OSDI), TCM syndrome score, tear secretion (SIT), tear film breaking up time (BUT), corneal fluorescein staining (FL), and tear interleukin-6 (IL-6) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were observed. ResultAfter the treatment, the total effective rate was 90.0% (54/60) in the observation group and 75.0% (45/60) in the control group (χ2=4.675, P<0.05). After treatment, the OSDI score and TCM syndrome score were lower than those before treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the SIT and BUT were higher (P<0.05) and FL score was lower (P<0.05) than those before treatment in both groups. After treatment, the improvement of the above indicators in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of IL-6 and MMP-9 were lower than those before treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and lower in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionQiju Dihuangtang combined with Chinese medicine fumigation can effectively improve subjective symptoms, promote tear secretion, prolong BUT, enhance corneal epithelial repair, and reduce the levels of tear IL-6 and MMP-9 in the treatment of dry eye.
