Objective To observe the effect of daidzein on intima proliferation of rat common carotid artery injured by balloon. Methods 24 male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups, 8 rats per group: high dose daidzein group (100 mg/kg?d), low dose daidzein group (50 mg/kg?d) and dissolvent control group. Duplicate the rat common carotid arteries injured by balloon models. Five weeks after operation, serum biochemical indicator such as TC, TG, BUN, ALT and MDA were measured using routine biochemical methods. And pathological sections of common carotid arteries were observed and the changes of vascular histomorphology were estimated by computer analysis of photomicrograms. Results Compared with control group, the intima areas was significant decreased in high dose group and low dose group (86 893?83 452 ?m2 vs 199 419?103 352 ?m2 vs 222 324?56 154 ?m2,P0.05). Conclusion Daidzein can inhibit the intima proliferation of Wistar rat common carotid arteries injured by balloon.

Background Isoliensinine(IL) is a kind monomer alkaloid of double benzyl group quinoline separated from Plumula nelumbinis,which has been speculated to have antiarrhythmic effect,Ca~(2+) and?1-receptor blockade, and reversal the left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH).It has been reported the activity of Sarco/Endoplasmic reticulum Ca~(2+)-ATP_(ase)(SERCA) in essential hypertention(EH)/LVH patients was lower than that of healthy people. Objective To investigate the effects of Isoliensinine on left ventricular hypertrophy and activity of SERCA in 2 kidney 1 clamp(2K1C) hypertensive rats.Methods 2K1C hypertensive rats were randomly received Isoliensinine (RHR-IL,5 mg/kg per day p.o,n=16) or placebo.Blood pressure,left ventricle mass index(LVMI) and the activity of myocardial SERCA were measured after 10 weeks treatment.Six untreated SD rats were served as control. Results Isoliensinine decreased BP and LV/BM ratio(IL:136.4?14.6 vs control:189.8?4.4 mm Hg,P

Objective: To investigate factors related to alexithymia of patients with essential hypertension or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: 42 patients wi th essential hypertension, 40 with diabetes mellitus and 45 healthy control were assessed by TAS (Toronto Alexithymia Scale), SCL-90 and EPQ (Eysenck Personalit y Questionnaire). Multiple correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regressio n were used in data analysis. Result: Compared with normal contr ol, patients with hypertension or diabetes showed alexithymia. They were deficient in the abilit y of describing emotion, recognizing and distinguishing between emotion and body feeling, and used to extroversion thought. Besides these, patients with diabete s showed fancy-lacking either. There was close relation between personality and a lexithymia. The more introversive of the hypertensives, the more deficient they were in describing emotion. The more introversive of the diabetics, the more de f icient they were in recognizing and making distinguish between emotion and body feeling. Hostility ideation and neuroticism of hypertension patients were major factors related to alexithymia. Paranoid ideation and psychoticism had similar e ffects in diabetics. Conclusion: Patients with essential hypert ension or diabete s have alexithymia relating to their personality traits and psychological state .

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of Polydatin on acute lung injury following endotoxic shock in rats.METHODS:Using a rat endotoxic shock model,animals were randomly divided into4groups∶sham operation group,en?dotoxic shock group,Polydatin treatment group and Polydatin pretreatment group.MAPs(mean artery pressures)were mea?sured at given time points.At the end of the experiment,the serum,the lung tissue,and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were collected.The levels of lung coefficient,lung penetrating index(LPI),the protein concentration of BALF and the content of NOS in the lung tissue were measured.Furthermore,the histologic changes of the lung were observed under light micro?scope.RESULTS:In addition to prohibiting the dropping of MAP,Polydatin could mitigate the acute lung injury induced by endotoxin which increased the levels of lung coefficient,LPI,the protein concentration of BALF and the content of NOS in lung tissue.Enough morphological evidence could be found in pathological sections.Especially,the protective effects were more ob?vious in Polydatin pretreatment group.CONCLUSION:Polydatin has prophylactic and therapeutical effects on acute lung injury following endotoxic shock and the prophylactic effect is more marked than the therapeutic one.
