Objective To study the effects and mechanism of Huangqi against myocardium injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion in rats. Methods Totally 30 male Sprague-Dauley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group (C group), ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R group), ischemic pretreatment with Huangqi group (H+I/R group), with 10 rats in each. The left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery was ligated to establish the ischemia/reperfusion heart model. Huangqi was administered before the model was established in the H+I/R group. The pathologic changes of myocardial tissues (under light and electron microscopy), content of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in serum, as well as activities of Na~+K~+-ATPase and Ca~(2+)-ATPase in myocardial tissues were observed. Results Light and electron microscopic examination showed that the necrotic degeneration and pathologic changes of myocardiocytes in Huangqi group were significantly milder than those in the model group. The levels of CK, LDH, MDA were decreased significantly in Huangqi group (P<0.05), the activities of SOD, Na~+K~+-ATPase and Ca~(2+)-ATPase in myocardial tissues in Huangqi group significantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Huangqi shows a significantly protective effect on myocardial I/R injury in rats. The mechanism may be related to multiple factors, including improving microcirculation, forming anti-oxygen free radicals and decreasing calcium overload.

BACKGROUND: Sjogre's syndrome is a common disease of aged people,in which, dry mouth and throat have disturbed chawing, swallowing and speech and have seriously affected living quality of patients. OBJECTIVE: To probe into the improvement of oral function treated with Chinese medicine based on differentiation of symptoms. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis on cases was designed. SETTING: Department of Periodontal Disease, College of Stomatology,Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-six cases of Sjogre's syndrome were selected from clinic of Department of Periodontal Disease of Stomatology College of Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from May 2000 to February 2004, with agreement and in the know of patients. Of those, 5cases were male, 31 cases were female, aged varied from 27 to 70 years,with duration of sickness in range from 0.5 to 10 years. METHODS: ① On basis of moistening, drying up heat, producing fluid and stopping thirst, the drugs for activating blood circulation, resolving stasis, clearing away heat and detoxification were supplemented. Formula:shashen (Radix Glehniae), maidong (Radix Ophiopogonis), shihu (Herba Dendrobii), yuzhu (Rhizoma Polygonati Odorati), huafen (Radix Trichosanthis), xuanshen (Radix Scrophulariae), shengdi (Radix Rehmanniae), chenpi (Pericarpium Cirri Reticulatae), danshen (Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae), banzhilian (herba Scutellariae Barbatae), bahuasheshecao (Herba Hedyotis Dissusae), etc. ②Treatment of vitamins and transfer factor were associated.③ Artificial saliva in local was applied to prevent from secondary infection. ④ It was to test 99Tc m parotid function (After 99Tc m was injected intravenously on elbow, the parotid uptaking and concentrated 99Tc m curve were traced immediately. When radioactivity intensity was increased to maximum, the patients were required to chaw Vit. C tablet, 200 mg. In following, it was to trace the minimum of 99Tc m radioactivity on decreased curve. Normal imaging was illustrated clearly, the development after Vit. C stimulationwas declined swiftly. Time-radioactivity curve illustrated obvious uptaking and excreting segments. Positive results were unclear parotid development or the development after Vit. C stimulation was not declined obviously. Time-radioactivity curve was of horizontal type, low-horizontal type, parabola type or persistent rising type), erythrocyte sedimentation (ERS) (Normal value: 0-15 mm/h for male adult, 0-20 mm/h for female adult) and a part of immunology, such as rheumatoid factor, immunoglobulin (I gG normal value: 7.6-16.6 g/L), immune complex, etc. The effect was determined as increased saliva secretion and improved oral function. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: 99Tc m parotid function test, rheumatoid factor, ERS, IgG and immune complex were applied to determine the therapeutic effects of Chinese herbs. RESULTS:Thirty-six cases all entered result analysis. ① After treatment, the positive rate of rheumatoid factor was lower significantly compared with that before treatment [36.7%, 73.3%,(x2=6.796, P < 0.01)]. The levels of ERS, IgG and immune complex were all decreased significantly compared with those before treatment [(35.50±5.65) mm/h,(13.47±1.58) g/L,(8.30±1.24) mg/L;(55.20±8.85)mm/h,(23.57±2.37) g/L,(14.96±2.21) mg/L; (t=3.549-4.962,P < 0.01)]. The result of 99Tc m parotid function test and main determined indexes had been improved for all. ② After treatment, dry mouth, dry eye and general symptoms were all improved of various degrees and saliva secretion was increased. Total effective rate reached 80.7%. CONCLUSION: Treatment based on differentiation of symptoms is applied in Chinese medicine. On basis of moistening, drying up heat, producing fluid and stopping thirst, the drugs for activating blood circulation, resolving stasis, clearing away heat and detoxification are supplemented and effectively promote rehabilitation of oral function in Sjogre's syndrome,such as chawing, swallowing, speech, etc.

Objective To study the effect of preemptive analgesina of morphine injected to subarachnoid space on postoperative epidural analgesia with morphine. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients were randomly divided into two groups. All patinents received combination spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSEA). In experimenta group (n=30), 0 5% bupivacaine 2ml and morphine 0 5mg were injected into the subarachnoid space of the patients for CSEA, and morphine 2 8mg was used for postoperative epidural analgesia. In control group (n=30),0 5% bupivacaine 2ml was injected into the subarachnoid space of the patients for CSEA, and morphine 3 3mg was used for postoperative epidural analgesia. The numerical rating score (NRS) and Ramsay sedation scores were performed after operation. The postoperative analgesic duration and frequency of side effect were recorded. Rusult NRS was significantly less and postoperative analgesic duration was obviously longer in experimental group compared with control group. Ramsay sedation scores and the frequency of side effect significantly increased in the experimental group compared with the control group. But the shaking frequency in experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group. Conclusions Preemtive analgesia of morphine injected to subarachnoid space could improve postoperative epidural analgesia with morphine and increase analgesia time. But it had more side effects.
