1.Aspirin in the prevention of cardiovascular disease: a review
Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(4):304-307,313
Abstract
Aspirin (ASA) is widely used for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but its strategy of application is highly controversial. Meanwhile, in terms of ASA prevention strategies for CVD, countries around the world are different. The United States is becoming increasingly cautious, while the European Union tends to focus on the benefits of ASA clinical use. China is concerned about the effectiveness of ASA in preventing CVD in the elderly. This article reviews relevant literature published domestically and internationally from 2005 to 2024 for the application of ASA in CVD prevention, ASA prevention strategies for CVD in main countries and the application of ASA in special groups such as chronic disease patients, which provides a basis for improving ASA prevention strategies for CVD and standardizing clinical application of ASA in China.

BACKGROUND:To construct a normal animal model of femoral head necrosis contributes to the research of the pathogenesis of femoral head necrosis, which can provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of femoral head necrosis.
OBJECTIVE:To research the experimental effect of lipopolysaccharide combined with dexamethasone injection in the induction of rabbit femoral head necrosis.
METHODS:Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into model group (n=21) and control group (n=15). The rabbits in the model group were injected with 10μg/kg lipopolysaccharide daily and continuous for 2 days, and then injected with 25 mg/kg dexamethasone daily for 3 days continuously. The rabbits in the control group were injected with the normal saline at the same volume.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 4 weeks, the X-ray film of the rabbit in the model group showed the joint gaps were widened, the density was increased, the articular subchondral bone mineral density was increased, the femoral head was flat, trabecular bone was fuzzy, the boundaries between subchondral bone and cancel ous bone was unclear, and the patchy high-density areas were observed in the femoral head with shortened femoral neck. The bone mineral density of partial femoral head was measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and found that the bone mineral density of femoral head and the bone mineral content of the model group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Histological section observation showed that the bone cel lacuna was empty and shal ow, fat cel s were increased and vascular thrombosis was observed, meanwhile, the osteonecrosis rate and lacunae rate of the survival animals were significantly higher than those in the control group. Dexamethasone combined with lipopolysaccharide can effectively construct the model of steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head.

BACKGROUND:Animal death is a main influential factor for experimental results in establishment of animal models of steroid-induced necrosis of femoral head.
OBJECTIVE:To observe models of femoral head necrosis established using lipopolysaccharide and dexamethasone so as to elevate success rate of model induction.
METHODS:A total of 48 New Zealand white rabbits were equal y and randomly divided into model group, gentamicin group, gentamicin+lansoprazole group and control group. The first three groups were injected with lipopolysaccharide for 2 consecutive days via the ear vein, and then they were injected with dexamethasone via intramuscular injection in the buttocks for 3 consecutive days to establish models of femoral head necrosis. The rabbits of gentamicin group, gentamicin+lansoprazole group were intragastrical y administered gentamicin for 7 consecutive days after success model induction. Simultaneously, gentamicin+lansoprazole group received intramuscular injection with lansoprazole. Rabbits in the control group were only injected with saline.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Models were successful y established in the model, gentamicin, gentamicin+lansoprazole groups. Their conditions were best in the gentamicin+lansoprazole group. Mortalities in above-mentioned groups were 33.3%, 25%and 8.3%, respectively. Significant differences in the number of dead rabbits were detected in the model, gentamicin, gentamicin+lansoprazole and control groups (P<0.05). Results indicated that the combined use of gentamicin and lansoprazole can elevate survival rate of experimental animals during the establishment of rabbit models of steroid-induced necrosis of femoral head.

This study was aimed to prepare the spraying agent of prescriptions of Miao nationality herb and investigate the effect of Miao nationality herbs spray for serum SOD, MDA, and expression of Fas and Caspase-3 mRNA in lung tissues of silica-treated rats. The healthy SD rats were divided into 5 groups. Silica dust suspension was used in the model establishment of 4 groups. After the model was successfully established, 3 groups were randomly selected and given glucocorticoids atomization inhalation, Miao nationality herbs spray, Miao nationality herbs spray combined with intragastric administration of herbal medicine, respectively. After 40-day treatment, water-solubletetrazolium salt (WST-1) was used in the detection of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD). Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) was used in the detection of malondialdehyde (MDA). The mRNA expression variance of the Fas and Caspase-3 were detected by RT-PCR. The results showed that compared with the silica dust suspension group, the SOD activity of serum in the Miao nationality herbs spray group was significantly increased (P< 0.05). MDA content and the mRNA of Fas and Caspase-3 were significantly lower in the Miao nationality herbs spray group (P< 0.05). It was concluded that Miao nationality herbs spray group was able to increase the SOD activity of serum, decrease MDA content, and obviously decrease the expression of Fas and Caspase-3 of lung tissues among silica dust suspension rats.
