Objective To research the effect of Shengmai capsules on cadiocyte apoptosis with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) in rats. Methods Seventy five SD female rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:sham-operation group (A), CHF model group (B), CHF model treated by Shengmai capsules group (C), CHF model treated by Captopril group (D), CHF model treated by Shengmai capsule and Captopril group (E). Suprarenal abdominal artery constriction was operated to prepare CHF rat models. After 7 weeks treating respectively, the apoptosis rate of cadiocyte and the content of myocardia Bcl-2 in rats were detected. Results Apoptotic cells ratio of myocardia was higher in group B than in group A (P

Objective To study the effects of catgut implantation at acupoint on epileptic attack behavior in experimental epilepsy rats. Methods 40 rats were randomly divided into model group, catgut implantation group, western medicine group and acupuncture group. Making the acute epilepsy model by intraperitoneal injection of penicilin in rats after pretreatment, observed the latent period and the performance of epilepsy seizures within 70 minutes after intraperitoneal injection of penicilin. Results The latent period of catgut implantation, western medicine and acupuncture groups was prolonger than model group (P 0.05). The times of epileptic attack behavior in catgut implantation group including nodding/tail-flick, beard shaking, anterior/hind limb tic, systemic tic and jump was less than the model group respectively (P

0 05).There wasn't side reaction in YXL.Conclusion YXL has better effect of antiepilepsia and resuming consciousness.

Objective:To research the effect of Shengmai capsules on the matrix metalloproteinase(MMPs)& tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMPs)in chronic congestive heart failure(CHF)rats.Methods:75 SD female rats weredivided randomly into 5 groups:sham-operation group(A),CHF model group(B),CHF model treated by Shengmai capsules group(Shengmai capsule group,C),CHF model treated by Captopril group(Captopril group,D),CHF model treated by Shengmai capsule and Captopril group(shengmai capsule&captopril group,E),15 rats each group.Suprarenal abdominal artery constriction was operated to prepare CHF rat models.After 7 week treating respectively,the contents of MMP-3&TIMP-1 of cardiac muscle in rats were detected.Results:The content of cardiac MMP-3 was higher in group B than in group A(P

【Objective】To investigate the influence of acupuncture on the power of brain electrical activity mapping(BEAM) and hippocampal amino acid neurotransmitters in acute epilepsy rats.【Methods】Forty SD rats were randomized into groups A(normal),B(model),C(treated with acupuncture) and D(treated with sodium valproate).Group C was pretreated with acupuncture on acupoints of Dazhui and Fenglong and with needling through Ganshu toward Danshu.Group D was pretreated with sodium valproate by gastric gavage.The treatment in groups C and D lasted 3 days.Except group A,the mice in other 3 groups received intraperitoneal injection of sodium penicillin to induce acute epilepsy.Within seventy to eighty-five minutes after modeling,different frequency-band power of BEAM in rat brain middle Pz region was detected,and rats hippocampal contents of excitatory amino acids such as glutamic acid(Glu) and aspartic acid(ASP) as well as inhibitory amino acids such as gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA),glycine(Gly),alanine(Ala) and taurine(Tau) were examined.【Results】Power of frequency band ?,?,?_1,?_2,?_1 and ?_2 in group B increased(P
