OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of the injection of puerarin combined with salvianoli acid B(Sal B)on rats with myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI). METHODS:62 rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group,puerarin group(20 mg/kg)and puerarin(20 mg/kg)-Sal B group(mass ratio of 1:0.5,1:1,1:2,respectively),10 in each group. Except for sham operation group,rats in other groups were reduced for MIRI model. After 180 min of reperfusion, kinase(CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)in serum and percentage of myocardial infarction size of rats were detected. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,CK,LDH,MDA levels in se-rum of rats in model group were obviously increased (P<0.01),SOD level was obviously decreased (P<0.01);and percentage of myocardial infarction size was obviously increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,CK,LDH,MDA levels in serum of rats in each administration group were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),SOD levels were obviously increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and indexes changed the most obviously in puerarin-Sal B group(1:1);percentage of myocardial infarction size was obvi-ously decreased(P<0.01),and the percentage of myocardial infarction sizes in puerarin-Sal B group(1:1)and group(1:2)were less than Puerarin injection group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with Puerarin injection alone,puerarin combined with Sal B by injection can more effectively inhibit the cardiomyocyte injury and decrease myocardial infarction size after MIRI,with best efficacy when quality ratio is 1:1.

Objective To explore the effect of Paclitaxel-Chitosan Sustain film on growth, apoptosis and cell cycle of biliary fibroblasts cells. Methods Human biliary fibroblasts cells were cultured and treated with PTX-CSF and naked PTX,separately, untreated cells as blank control. The experiment was divided into five groups:untreated group, simple PTX-treated group (250nM) and low, medium and high chitosan sustained-release film PTX-treated group (100 nM, 250 nM, 500 nM). The proliferations of cells were determined by MTT assay. The apoptosis and cell cycle of cells were detected by FCM. Results The proliferation of biliary fibroblasts cells was inhibited by PTX-CSF with time-dependent and dose-dependent, and the inhibiting effect was more obvious than naked PTX treatment as the time went on. Meanwhile, PTX-CSF could inhibit the magration of bile duct fibroblasts induced by TGF-β1,and had longer effect than naked PTX. After 72 h, the apoptosis rate of cells treated with PTX-CSF was significantly higher than cells treated with naked PTX or untreated cells(P<0.05), the difference between naked PTX or untreated cells was not significant. Compared with untreated cells, the proportion of G 2/M in cells treated with PTX or PTX-CSF were significantly increased, and the former was sinificantly higher than the latter(P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with naked PTX, PTX-CSF has strong cytotoxic effects and obviously sustained-release effect. The effective concentration can be maintain for a long time by PTX-CSF, and it could be as the novel drug delivery system to continuously inhibit proliferation of bile duct fibroblasts.

Objective To evaluate the inflammatory response in the airway of healthy rats following exposure to motor vehicle exhaust. Methods Sixty healthy SD rats(30 males and 30 females,aged 6 weeks) were randomly divided into 6 groups. The rats in the exposed groups were placed by the main traffic road and those in the control group were placed in the normal laboratory environment. The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was analyzed on the 14th,30th and 90th day of exposure .WBC,NO,TNF-?,and IL-8 in BALF of the rats in each group were tested. Results The NO content [(9.75?4.78) ?mol/L] in BALF of the rats in the group exposed for 30 days was obviously higher than that in the control group [(4.40?1.45) ?mol/L],but there was no any obvious difference between the two groups in terms of the content of TNF-? and IL-8 in BALF. Conclusion This study demonstrates that exposure to vehicle exhaust can induce inflammatory response in healthy rats,the on-the-spot experiment on animal exposure can be used to observe early respiratory tract inflammation and 30 days of exposure is the sensitive period for the change of the inflammatory indicators.

Aim To the investigate the protective effect of ginsenoside Rg1 in Alzheimer's disease ( AD)-like neurotoxicity model induced by okadaic acid ( OKA) in the cellular level , and explore the mecha-nism preliminarily. Methods The PC12 cells model, simulate neurons, induced by OKA was given Rg1 (1, 5,10 μmol·L-1), and melatonin (Melat) 10 μmol· L-1 was given as a positive control. MTT and LDH were carried out to assess the cell viability and mortality. To detect the accumulation of ROS, the DCFH-DA fluores-cent probe was conducted. And to assess the change of the activity of a variety of antioxidant enzymes, various kits were used, including ABTS、CAT、SOD、GSH-Px and GSSG/GSH. Results Compared with the control group, the survival rate of PC12 cell in OKA group re-duces significantly, the mortality rate was increased sig-nificantly , the number of early apoptotic cells was in-creased significantly (P<0. 01). Oxidative stress-relat-ed indicators show that ROS accumulation within the cells of OKA group increases significantly ( P<0. 01 ) , and the total antioxidant capacity ( ABTS ) decreases significantly ( P < 0. 01 ) , the activity of peroxidase (Catalase, CAT) (P <0. 01), glutathione peroxidase (glutathione peroxidase, GSH-Px) and superoxide dis-mutase ( superoxide dismutase, SOD) decreased signifi-cantly ( P <0. 05 ) , the rate of GSSG/GSH increased significantly ( P <0. 01 ) . Compared with the model group, the different doses of Rg1 could improve the sur-vival rate and decrease the mortality rate of PC12 cell significantly in the group of OKA, and could decrease the level of the accumulation of ROS, improve the activ-ity of antioxidant enzymes. Conclusion Ginsenoside Rg1 can decrease PC12 cell apoptosis by exerting an-tioxidant effects, and protect the nerve cells in AD-like pathology model induced by OKA.
