International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2017;39(7):587-591
Objective To investigate the effects of sodium tanshinone ⅡA injection on myocardial enzymes and heart function of patients with acute myocardial infarction, and to explore its therapeutic mechanism. Methods A total of 217 patients with acute myocardial infarction in Taihe Hospital emergency department were randomly divided into control group (n=110) and the Tanshinone group (n=107). The control group was treated by thrombolysis, vascular dilation, antihypertension, anti-shock and other conventional treatment. On the basis of control group treatment, Tanshinone group added the intravenous injection 20mg sodium tanshinone injection. The ELISA was used to test serum creatine kinase (CKMB), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and cardiac troponin I (CTNI) and other enzymes indexes before and after treatment. The heart function were assessed by measuring the left ventricular patient of maximum rising/ falling rate (± LVdp/dtmax),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),systolic blood pressure (SP), diastolic blood pressure (DP), pulse pressure (PP ) and heart rate (HR) and other indicators. Results After treatment, the CK-MB (10.76 ± 1.02 mmol/L vs. 15.17 ± 1.21 mmol/L, t=3.724), CTNI (0.11 ± 0.02 ng/ml vs.1.51 ± 0.05 ng/ml, t=2.570), MDA (4.54 ± 0.23 nmol/ml vs. 9.98 ± 1.37 nmol/ml, t=5.035) in the Tanshinone group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The SOD (452.27 ± 21.56 U/L vs. 209.50 ± 15.43 U/L, t=3.935), LVDD (50.74 ± 5.36 mm vs. 44.91 ± 5.31 mm, t=2.454) and LVEF (4.59% ± 0.17% vs. 3.64% ± 0.11%, t=4.052) in the Tanshinone group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The heart function of +dp/dtmax (3742 ± 162 mmHg/s vs. 3948 ± 193 mmHg/s, t=3.731), -dp/dtmax (3512 ± 135 vs. 3847 ± 181, t=3.025), PP (30.5 ± 5.3 mmHg vs. 35.8 ± 5.1 mmHg, t=2.902), DP (99.2 ± 8.8 mmHg vs. 117.3 ± 10.8 mmHg, t=4.079) in the Tanshinone group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 98.14% (105/107), the control group was 87.2%(96/110), and there was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2=10.417, P<0.05). Conclusions The Tanshinone ⅡA sodium injection can improve myocardial enzymes and heart function of patients with acute myocardial infarction, which refered to its protective effect on acute myocardial infarction.

Growth dynamics of PP, CN and ZS2 strains of Toxoplasma gondii isolated in China was studied and compared with that of RH strain. HeLa cells were used in this work. It took only 2 min for the organisms of RH strain to infect the HeLa cells when con-tacting with the cells. By contrast, the CN strain requires 5 min, the ZS2 and PP strains, 10 min.Tcxoplasma began its multiplication after a lag time of about 6 h in the HeLa cells. The mean generation time of the 4 strains was assessed by calculating the number of the parasites in the parasitophorous vacuoles at different incubation times and by the linear regression equation. The results showed that the mean generation time was 5.2 h for RH strain, 5.98 h for CN strain, 6.78 h for ZS2 strain and 7.69 h for PP strain.Among the 3 strains of Toxoplasma gondii isolated in China, CN strain was similar to RH strain in their infectivity and proliferation.

Aim In order to observe the pathological features and the dynamic distribution of RH strain T. gondii in main organs of infected mice, using indirect immunoenzymatic technique. To provide pathological diagonsising reference of toxoplasmosis and increase to understand the pathologensis of Toxoplasmosis. Methods Mice were infected intraperitoneally with 103 tachyzoites of T. gondii RH strain,and the parasites were detected using indirect immunoenzymatic technique in the liver, spleen, lungs and brain at 2,4,6 and 8 days postinfection. Results The liver was the first organ parasitized at D2, followed by spleen and lungs at D4, the brain at D8. At the early phase of infection, parasites were found on the edge of the liver and spleen. A few parasites were detected within the liver, spleen and lungs with time being. But parasites increased progressively and distributed well during the whole phase. The brain was the last organ to be parasitized. Parasites multiplicated rapidly so that the mice were seriously ill and died. Conclusions The indirect immunoenzymatic technique can demonstrate tachyzoites and Toaxoplasma antigen clearly in infected mice during acute stage. Many organs were infected such as liver, spleen,lungs and brain. The results suggest that the organs in the peritoneal cavity were infected directly by tachyzoites as IP infection, then the parasites disseminate through a blood way, and in the end, tachyzoites cross the blood-brain barries to reach the brain.

Objective: To compare the blood lfow of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft vessel between minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) and traditional median sternotomyin off-pump coronary artery bypass (Traditional OPCAB) by transit-time lfow meter (TTFM). Methods: We retrospectively studied 300 patients who received OPCAB in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2015-07, all patients had LIMA to left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) anastomosis. The patients were divided into 2 groups: MIDCAB group, n=70 and Traditional OPCAB group,n=230. Intra-operative blood lfow in graft vessel was measured by transit-time lfow meter. Pre- and post-operative indexes and the mean lfow (MF), pulsatile index (PI), diastolic fraction (DF) of LIMA graft were compared between 2 groups. Results: The following indexes in Traditional OPCAB group and MIDCAB group were as below: intra-operative transfusion was (3.00±5.42) U vs (1.06±2.17) U, post-operative peak value of cTnI was (2.84±9.93) ng/ml vs (0.69±1.74) ng/ml, mechanical ventilation time was (27.9±66.9) h vs (14.2±20.8) h and ICU stay time was (64.1±89.6) h vs (35.2±39.2) h, allP<0.05; while for the graft from LIMA to LAD, MF was (29.45±18.19) ml/min vs (29.04±15.85) ml/min, PI was (2.68±1.19) vs (2.44±0.84) and DF was (71.47±11.12) % vs (70.25±11.30) %, allP>0.05. Conclusion: With LIMA to LAD graft, MIDCAB may achieve the same effect as traditional OPCAB, the early post-operative anastomosis has been reliable.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2), estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor(PR) and the formation of endometrial polyps and the increased malignant rate of postmenopausal endometrial polyps.Methods:From January 2018 to January 2019, a total of 160 postmenopausal women treated in the People's Hospital of Changxing County were selected and divided into endometrial polyps group(83 cases) and oothectomy group(42 cases), normal menopause group(35 cases) according to different diseases.The levels of COX-2, ER, PR in the three groups were measured.The expression of COX-2 in mesenchymal cells and glandular epithelial cells, the expression of ER in mesenchymal cells and glandular epithelial cells, the expression of PR in mesenchymal cells and glandular epithelial cells in the three groups were compared, and the correlation between COX-2, ER, PR and increased malignant rate of endometrial polyps was analyzed.Results:The positive expression rates of COX-2 in mesenchymal cells and glandular epithelial cells in the endometrial polyps group(16.9%, 30.1%) were higher than those in the normal menopause group(0.0%, 11.4%) and the oothectomy group(4.8%, 7.1%)(χ 2=4.568, 5.806, all P<0.05 ). There were no statistically significant differences in the expression of ER in mesenchymal cells and glandular epithelial cells among the three groups(χ 2=1.333, 1.412, all P>0.05). The expression of PR in mesenchymal cells and glandular epithelial cells in the endometrial polyps group was lower than that in the normal menopause group and the oothectomy group(χ 2=4.890, 5.022, all P<0.05). COX-2 was positively correlated with the increase in malignant rate of endometrial polyps( r=4.335, P<0.05), PR was negatively correlated with an increase in the malignant rate of endometrial polyps( r=-4.256, P<0.05), and ER had no significant correlation with an increase in the malignant rate of endometrial polyps( r=1.203, P>0.05). Conclusion:COX-2 and PR are significantly related to the formation of endometrial polyps and the increase in malignant rate of postmenopausal endometrial polyps, but there is no significant expression of ER.Therefore, the detection of COX-2 and PR levels is beneficial to provide a certain scientific basis for clinical treatment.
