OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of Xuesaitong injection on related indexes of patients with acute ST segment el-evation myocardial infarction(STEMI)before percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). METHODS:112 STEMI patients under-went PCI were analyzed retrospectively and divided into control group (48 cases) and observation group (64 cases) according to different treatment methods. Control group was given Clopidogrel sulfate tablets 300 mg and Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 300 mg orally before PCI;given conventional treatment according to patients'condition after surgery. Observation group additionally re-ceived intravenous push of Xuesaitong injection 8 mL before surgery,and Xuesaitong injection 8 mL added into Sodium chloride 250 mL intravenously,once a day after surgery,on the basis of control group. Treatment course of 2 groups lasted for 14 d. TIMI level,MPG level,the serum levels of cTnT,CKMB were observed in 2 groups before surgery,24 h after surgery;serum level of PTX-3,hs-CRP were observed before surgery,one week after surgery;LVEF,LVEDD,serum level of BNP were observed before surgery and one month after surgery;the occurrence of ADR was observed to. RESULTS:Before surgery,there was no statistical significance in TIMI level,MPG level,the serum levels of cTnT,CKMB,PTX-3 and hs-CRP,LVEF,LVEDD,serum level of BNP between 2 groups (P>0.05). 24 h after surgery,TIMI level and MPG level of 2 groups were significantly higher than be-fore,and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group;the serum levels of cTnT and CKMB in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical sig-nificance(P<0.05). One week after surgery,the serum levels of PTX-3 and hs-CRP in 2 groups were significantly lower than be-fore surgery,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). One month after surgery,the level of LVEF in 2 groups were significantly higher than before surgery,and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group;LVEDD and se-rum level of BNP in 2 groups were significantly lower than be-fore surgery,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on convention-al treatment,Xuesaitong injection can effectively improve myocardial blood supply before PCI,decrease the level of inflammatory factor,relieve myocardial injury,improve cardiac function without increasing the incidence of ADR.

Results (1) The protein and mRNA level of CCL5 in tumor-bearing mice were respectively (151±35) pg/ml and 1.0, which were lower than those in the tumor-free mice (691 ± 85) pg/ml and 4.5 ± 0.8, there were significant difference between them (all P<0.05). The protein and mRNA level of PGE2 in tumor-bearing mice were (1 198±83) pg/ml and 5.8±0.8, which were higher than those in the tumor-free mice (187±25) pg/ml and 1.0, the difference were significant (all P<0.05). The protein and mRNA level of CCL5 in tumor-free+LPS mice were (4 049±141) pg/ml and 31.5±2.0, which were higher than those in the tumor-bearing+LPS mice (1 951±71) pg/ml and 12.1±2.8, the difference were also significant (P<0.05). The protein and mRNA level of PGE2 in tumor-free+LPS mice were (676±70) pg/ml and 3.4±0.4, which were lower than those in tumor-bearing+LPS mice (2 550±382) pg/ml and 11.6±0.9, the difference were also significant (all P<0.05). (2) Macrophages were cultured in vitro using TCM derived from mice. The protein and mRNA level of CCL5 in tumor-bearing mice TCM were respectively (1 626 ± 177) pg/ml and 28.6 ± 1.2, which were higher than those in the tumor-free mice TCM [(27 ± 3) pg/ml and 1.0], there were significant difference (P<0.05). The protein and mRNA level of PGE2 in tumor-bearing mice TCM were (790 ± 156) pg/ml and 1.7 ± 0.3, which were higher than those in the tumor-free mice TCM [(448 ± 115) pg/ml, 1.0], the difference were significant (all P<0.05). The protein and mRNA level of cAMP in tumor-bearing mice TCM were (164 ± 30) pg/ml and 1.6 ± 0.3, which weres higher than those in the tumor-free mice TCM [(118 ± 25) pg/ml,1.0], the difference were significant (all P<0.05). The protein and mRNA level of CCL5 in tumor-free + LPS mice TCM were (10 475 ± 742) pg/ml and 212.0 ± 5.7, which were higher than those in the tumor-bearing+LPS mice TCM [(6 375±530) pg/ml, 142.3±2.5], the difference were significant (all P<0.05). The protein and mRNA level of PGE2 in tumor-free+LPS mice TCM were (2 438±95) pg/ml and 4.3±0.7, which weres lower than those in the tumor-bearing + LPS mice TCM [(3 441 ± 163) pg/ml, 5.9 ± 0.3], the difference were significant (all P<0.05). The protein and mRNA level of cAMP in tumor-free+LPS mice TCM were (340 ± 13) pg/ml and 4.1 ± 0.4, which were lower than those in the tumor-bearing + LPS mice TCM [(542 ± 42) pg/ml, 5.4 ± 0.5], the difference were significant (all P<0.05). (3) Using COX-2 inhibitor NS398 in the tumor-bearing+LPS mice, the protein and mRNA level of CCL5, PGE2 and cAMP were (7 691±269) pg/ml and 159.0±8.9, (2 820±152) pg/ml and 4.9 ± 0.3, (465 ± 8) pg/ml and 4.3 ± 0.4, respectively, and there were significant difference (all P<0.05), compared to before treatment. Using PKA inhibitor H89 in the tumor-bearing+LPS mice, the protein and mRNA level of CCL5, PGE2 and cAMP were (8 375±520) pg/ml and 177.0±8.8, (2 650±35) pg/ml and 4.7 ± 0.4, (368 ± 13) pg/ml and 3.1 ± 0.7, respectively, and there were significant difference (all P<0.05), compared to before treatment. Conclusion TCM of U14 cells activated macrophages to release PGE2 could inhibit the expression of CCL5 levels by cAMP/PKA signaling pathway.
