Aim To study protective effects of Total of flacone C(TFC) against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Four-vessel occlusion method was used to make acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model. Rats were initiated by ischemia for 30 min followed by 40 min of reperfusion.The electroencephalography(EEG) during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion was recorded.The level of intracellular calcium ion concentration([Ca~(2+)]i) in cerebral cells after ischemia was measured by using a Ca~(2+) indicator Fura-2/AM.Superoxide dismutase(SOD),Glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),nitric oxide Synthase(NOS) activeties and Malondialdehyde(MDA),Nitric Oxide(NO)contents in the ischemia cerebral cortex were measured.Results TFC can improved the EEG change,significantly attenuated the decrease of the intracellular calcium ion concentration([Ca~(2+)]_i), remarkly increased GSH-Px,SOD and NOS activities in the cerebrum,inhibit the decrease of LDH activity and NO,MDA contents.Conclusion TFC has protective effects on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury,the mechanism may be related to attenuating free radical,[Ca~(2+)]i overload and NO.

AIM: To investigate the protective effects of total of flavone C (TFC) on acute cerebral ischemia in mice and focal cerebral ischemia in rats. METHODS: The occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries with vagus nerves in mice was used for make the acute cerebral ischemia models. The survival time and the death rate were observed. The permanent occlusion of the proximal of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) was used for make the focal cerebral ischemia models. The extent of neurological deficits was observed, and the infarct area was measured by NBT staining technique. The activity of LDH and the content of MDA and NO in the ischemic cerebral cortex were determined. RESULTS: TFC of 80 and 40 mg?kg -1 prolonged the survival time and decreased the death rate of mice with acute cerebral ischemia injury. TFC of 60, 30, and 15 mg?kg -1 ameliorated neurologic deficits score and the infarct size of rats with MCAO. CONCLUSION: TFC provides significant protective effects against cerebral ischemia injury.

Objective To observe the protective effect of total flavone of Camellia (TFC)against cerebral ischemic injury.Methods Decapitation method and close hypoxia method were used to observe the effect of TFC on anoxic tolerance of mice and step down test was used to observe the effect of TFC on learning and memory; after ischemia, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA)and nitric oxide (NO)and the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)were detected. Rat models with acute incompletely cerebral ischemia were established by means of ligating right common carotid arteries and effect of TFC on cerebral water volume, permeability of cerebral vessels and cerebral histopathological changes were also observed.Results TFC prolonged the grasping time after decapitation and the survival time after anoxia in mice, and improve the learning and memory during the step down test. TFC decreased MDA and NO contents, counteracted the de creases of LDH activities in the mice cerebral cortex, reduced the water volume and permeability of cerebral vessels in ischemic rats and improve the cerebral hitstopathological changes. Conclusion TFC has protective effects against cerebral ischemic injury and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of free radicals and NO production.

Objective To study the relation between the level of serum carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA125) and heart function as well as the myocardial remodeling in patients with congestive heart failure(CHF). Methods 79 patients with CHF were divided into three groups based on the standard of New York Heart Association Classification. 25 healthy persons were served as control group. Level of CA125 was measured by MEIA. NT-proBNP was detected by Roche Cardiac Reading instrument. TNF-? was measured by radioimmunoassay. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI),left atrial volume index (LAVI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were detected by echocardiography. The levels of CA125,NT-proBNP,TNF-?,LVMI,LAVI and LVEF in different groups were compared.The relationship between CA125 and NT- proBNP,TNF-?,LVMI,LAVI and LVEF was evaluate.Results Levels of CA125,NT-proBNP,TNF-?,LVMI and LAVI in patients with CHF were much higher than those without CHF. The LVEF was much lower in NYHA Ⅲ and NYHA Ⅳ group than that in without CHF and NYHAⅠgroup. Conclusion CA125 was positively associated with the NT-proBNP,TNF-? and LVMI.
