Objective To investigate the effects of edaranvone on lung injury induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods Twenty-four male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups ( n = 6 each): group Ⅰ sham operation (group S); group Ⅱ myocardial I/R and group Ⅲ and Ⅳ different doses of edaravone ( group E1, E2 ). The animals were anesthetized, intubated and mechanically ventilated. In group Ⅱ-Ⅳ myocardial I/R was induced by occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery for 45 min followed by 3 h reperfusion. In group Ⅲ and Ⅳ edavarone 3 and 10 mg/kg was administered via right femoral vein at 1 min before reperfusion respectively. The animals were sacrificed by exsanguination at the end of 3 h reperfusion. Blood was collected for determination of serum CK-MB activity and total protein content. The left lung was lavaged and the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was colleted for determination of protein content. Pulmonary permeability index (PPI) was calculated. The lung tissue was obtained for determination of BD-2 mRNA and protein and TNF-α expression. Results The serum CK-MB activity, PPI,BD-2 mRNA and protein and TNF-α expression were significantly higher in group I/R, E1 and E2 than in group S,but significantly lower in group E1 and E2 than in group I/R and in group E2 than in group E1. Conclusion Edaravone can reduce myocardial I/R-induced lung injury by scavenging oxygen free radicals and inhibiting inflammatory response of lung tissues in rats.

Objective: To investigate the syndrome property of myocardial Ischemic, and evaluate the relevant informations of qi-deficiency. Methods: SD rats were subjected to either proximal LAD ligation or sham operation. The respiratory rate in both resting state and post-stress were counted. 20 rats (10 in each group) were subjected to forced swimming test (FST) to measure the exhaustive swimming time in every time point Echocardiography was used to evaluate the cardiac function in rats at each time point. Results: Compared with sham operation group, the respiratory rate in the resting state was slower, but faster under post-stress, the exhaustive swimming time was shorter, and the cardiac function of rats was significant decreasing in model group during the period from 7th day to 60th day after operation. The exhaustive swimming time was much shorter, and the relevant information of blood stasis was abnormal in the model group during the period from 7th day to 28th day after operation, when compared with the sham group. Conclusion: Myocardial ischemic rats induced by LAD ligation had both qi-deficiency and blood stasis indications, can be diagnosed as the syndrome of qi-deficiency and blood stasis during the period from 7th day to 28th day after operation. The model rats only had the qi-deficiency indications during the period from 45th day to 60th day after operation, so can be diagnosed as the qi-deficiency syndrome.
