Objective The establishment of the model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in SD rats involves lengthy time, severe damage, and death of the rats.We aimed at an efficient and rapid method for establishing an MIRI model in rats to ensure a high success rate of modeling and survival of the animals.Methods Using the trachea intubation-assisted breathing machine, we fully exposed the hearts of 80 adult SD rats (8-10 weeks old and weighing 250-300 mg) by mutilating the 2-3 intercostal muscles.Then, we rapidly positioned and ligated the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery for an hour, and established the model of MIRI at 48 hours after releasing the slipknot.We performed electrocardiography (ECG) before, during, and at 1 and 48 hours after operation, ligated the same part again at 48 hours postoperatively, and measured the size of the myocardial ischemia and infarction areas using Evans-TTC double staining.Results The survival rate of the 80 rats was 90% and the success rate of MIRI modeling was 86.25%.After ligation of the LAD coronary artery, ECG showed the ST segment and T wave elevation, followed by gradual decrease of the ST segment and R wave voltage, the myocardium and cardiac apex muscle grey or dark grey below the ligation slipknot.The heart rate myocardial motion amplitude were obviously reduced after ligation.Evans-TTC double staining revealed an evident myocardial infarction area at 48 hours after modeling and the ratio of the ischemia area + infarction area to the total myocardial area of the left ventricle was 0.43 to 0.55 (P>0.05) and that of the infarction area to the ischemia area + infarction area was 0.35 to 0.45 (P>0.05).Conclusion The modified rat model of MIRI can be fast and efficiently established, with a high success rate of modeling and a low mortality of the animals.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of Yiqi Sanju Formula (YQSJF), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, in treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: Sixty-seven patients diagnosed with NAFLD were randomly divided into two groups: YQSJF-treated group (39 cases) and placebo group (28 cases). The NAFLD patients in the two groups were treated with YQSJF and placebo respectively for 3 months. Clinical symptoms, the CT ratio of liver-spleen, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA2-IR) and the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were evaluated before and after treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, the clinical symptoms were improved and the levels of BMI, waist circumference, HOMA2-IR, ALT, AST, TG and TC were decreased significantly in the YQSJF-treated group (P<0.05). The CT ratio of liver-spleen in the YQSJF-treated group was increased significantly as compared with the placebo group (P<0.01).

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Pollen Typhae total flavone (PTF) on glucose and lipid metabolism in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. METHODS: The content of glucose which disappeared from the culture medium after incubation with drugs for 24 hours was determined as glucose consumption of the cells. The activity of cells was detected by XTT method. The transport of glucose was observed by (3)H-glucose uptake method. The efflux of free fatty acid (FFA) from adipocytes was observed by the concentration of FFA in the culture medium. RESULTS: The glucose concentration in culture medium was significantly decreased with a concentration-dependent effect, when PTF concentrations were from 0.025 g/L to 0.4 g/L. The toxic effect on cells appeared while PTF concentration was 0.4 g/L, and the MTT value decreased. PTF also significantly increased glucose transportation in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes as rosiglitazone (ROS) did. At the same time, FFA concentration in culture medium was significantly decreased as compared to the normal control group, while ROS-treated group did not show any difference. CONCLUSION: PTF can increase insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose transportation and consumption in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes as well as decreasing the FFA efflux from the cells.

Hypertension is the most common and controlable risk factor of atrial fibrillation (AF).Resin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) antagonist therapy may reduce atrial remodeling and hold promise as “upstream” therapy for AF,especially for the patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction.The RAAS antagonist therapy for prevention of AF in hypertensive patients needs to be further explored in large scale randomized studies.

Objective To investigate the difference of blood supply in different areas of the normal femoral head in adults.Methods A retrospective study analyzed the DCE-MRI parameters data of 2 5 normal adults (25 right hips)in our hospital.The femoral head was assumed to be a sphere.On T1 WI of DCE-MRI,the right femoral head was divided into three parts equally in coronal,sagittal, and transverse plane respectively.Time to peak(TTP),maximum of enhancement at first past(fEmax),maximum of enhancement (Emax)were measured in three parts and compared in coronal,sagittal and transverse plane respectively.Results (1 )In coronal plane,there were no significant differences between the three parts in TTP,fEmax and Emax.(2 )In transverse plane,fEmax and Emax were lower in the transverse superior zone than that in the transverse central zone significantly (P＝0.024 and P＝0.001)and the transverse inferior zone(P＝0.005 and P＝0.018).TTP was higher in the transverse superior zone than that in the transverse central zone and the transverse inferior zone(P＝0.005 and P＝0.018).(3)In sagittal plane,fEmax and Emax were lower in the sagittal lateral zone than that in the sagittal centralzone (P＝0.019 and P＝0.041)and sagittal medial zone (P＝0.047 and P＝0.01 1).TTP was higher in the sagittal lateral zone than that in the sagittal central zone and the sagittal medial zone(P＝0.014 and P＝0.010).There were no significant differences between other paired zones of the any values.Conclusion DCE-MRI can show the microcirculation in the normal adult femoral head in a non-invasive way.According to DCE-MRI parameters,there are poor perfusions on the transversesuperior and sagittallateral zones of the normal femoral head in adults.
