Objective To screen the optimal dose of Tangtong Formula in vitro. Methods RSC96 Schwann Cells were cultivate by DMEM mediums which contains different concentrations of glucose (5–125 mmol/L). The prevention effects of Tangtong Formula at different concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0 mg/mL) on the proliferation of RSC96 Schwann Cells induced by high glucose were detected. After the RSC96 Schwann Cells were cultivated in 100 mmol/L and 125 mmol/L high glucose mediums for 72 h, the apoptosis of RSC96 Schwann Cells was detected by flow cytometry Annexin V/PI, and the apoptosis rate was calculate; the proliferation situation of RSC96 Schwann cells in different times was detected by CCK-8 method. Results RSC96 Schwann cells were in apoptosis after being intervened by 100 mmol/L and 125 mmol/L high glucose mediums. The apoptosis rates were respectively(7.46±0.96)% and(16.53±1.01)%, with statistical significance compared with control group (P<0.01). Different concentrations of Tangtong Formula could alleviate the inhibitory effect of high glucose on the proliferation of RSC96 Schwann cells, and the threshold concentration of Tangtong Formula in 24 h was 0.25 mg/mL. The concentrations of Tangtong Formula in 0.5 mg/mL, 1.0 mg/mL, and 1.5 mg/mL could inhibit the apoptosis of RSC96 Schwann cells induced by high glucos, compared with 125 mmol/L high glucose group, the apoptosis rate of RSC96 Schwann cells decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Among three different doses, when the dose of Tangtong Formula is in 1.5 mg/mL, the effects on inhibiting apoptosis are the best.

Objective:To explore the effect of the implantation of absorbable stents on the prognosis of patients with inferior knee artery balloon dilatation.Methods:From March 2018 to January 2021, twenty-five patients with drug absorbable stent implantation after inferior knee artery balloon dilatation (stent group) and 25 patients without absorbable stent implantation after inferior knee artery balloon dilatation (control group) were included in Qingdao Haici Medical Group Affiliated to Qingdao University. The improvement of symptoms, ankle brachial index, Rutherford classification and claudication distance before and after operation were compared. The symptoms, ankle brachial index, Rutherford grade, claudication distance and patency rate of the two groups were compared 6 months after operation. The preoperative and postoperative data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, and the patency rate was analyzed by χ 2 test. Results:The ankle brachial index in the stent group and the control group on the first day after operation was significantly higher than that before operation (0.18±0.11 vs. 0.85±0.15, t=18.5, P<0.05, 0.22±0.15 vs. 0.87±0.10, t=20.8, P<0.05), and the Rutherford classification decreased significantly (4.66±0.21 vs. 2.1±0.11, t=9.2, P<0.05, 4.58±0.33 vs. 2.3±0.22, t=12.9, P<0.05), the limp distance increased significantly ((27±8) m vs. (300±43) m, t=20.8, P<0.05, (42±14) m vs. (320±18) m, t=32.6, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in preoperative ankle brachial index, postoperative ankle brachial index, Rutherford grade and claudication distance between the two groups ( P>0.05). Six months after operation, the ankle brachial index (0.72±0.03 and 0.54±0.12; t=10.2, P<0.05), Rutherford classification ((1.72±0.17) and (3.23±0.22); t=12.8, P<0.05) and claudication distance ((580.00±137.00) m and (267.00±54.00) m; t=8.2, P<0.05) in the stent group and the control group were significantly better than those in the control group. The patency rate of stent group at 6 months was 68% (17/25), which was better than that of ordinary balloon dilatation group by 56% (14/25). Conclusion:Implantation of drug absorbable stents can significantly improve the prognosis of patients undergoing arterial balloon dilatation.
