Objective To investigate the effect of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Primary cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into4 groups: Ⅰ control group (group C), Ⅱ H/R group, Ⅲ hemin group and Ⅳ hemin+zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP) group. In group H/R, the cardiomyocytes were exposed to 2 h of hypoxia followed by 6 h of reoxygenation. Hemin was added to the culture medium with a final concentration of 20 μmol/L 24 h before hypoxia and immediately before hypoxia in group hemin. Hemin and ZnPP were added to the culture medium with final concentrations of 20 μmol/L 24 h before hypoxia and immediately before hypoxia in group Henin + ZnPP. The cells were incubated in 35 mm culture dishes (2 ml in each dish) and 50 ml culture flasks (3 ml in each flask)(45 dishes and 3 flasks in each group). The HO-1 expression, cell survival rate, LDH activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were detected after the end of reoxygenation. Results Compared with group C, the LDH activity, MDA level and HO-1 expression were significantly increased, while the cell survival rate and SOD activity decreased in the other three groups ( P < 0.05). Compared with group H/R,the LDH activity and MDA level were significantly decreased, while the HO-1 expression, cell survival rate and SOD activity increased in group hemin ( P < 0.05 ), but no significant change was found in group hemin + ZnPP (P >0.05). H/R injury was obvious in group H/R and hemin + ZnPP, but was significantly attenuated in group hemin. Conclusion HO-1 can protect cardiomyocytes against H/R injury in neonatal rats.

Objective To study the expression of EI-1 in myocardium during cerebral ischemia and reper-fusion, and to investigate the mechanism of cerebral cardiac syndrome. Method Two hundred and eight SD rats weighting 220~250 gram, were divided into three groups: sham control group (n=48), cerebral ischemia group (n=80), cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group (n=80). The area of cerebral ischemia, and the concentration of sennn ET-1 and CK-MB, and the content of myocardial ET-1 were determined in 0,6, 12,24,48,72 h after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, and were analyzed by t-test or F-test. Results Cerebral necrosis area was ob-served at 6 h after cerebral ischemia in cerebral ischemia group, and peaked at 12 h (P>0.05). The concentra-tion of CK-MB increased gradually after cerebral ischmia, peaked at 12 h (P<0.05), and then gradually de-creased. The serum concentration of ET-1 peaked at 6 h and then gradually decreased. The content of ET-1 in my-ocardium began to increase at 6 h after cerebral ischemia, and peaked at 12 h (P<0.05). In cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group, all of cerebral necrosis size, CK-MB concentration and myocardial ET-1 concent paelced at 12 h and then gradually decreased (P<0.05). Change of ET-1 concentration in blood was similar to that in cerebral ischemia group. Compared with cerebral ischemia group, the size of cerebral necrosis reduced obviously at 24 h,48 h,72 h in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group (P<0.05). The concentration of CK-MB in cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion group was higher than that in cerebral isehemia group (P<0.05). The peak time of myocardial ET-1 was shatened in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion group. The change of serum ET-1 was not different between two groups. Conclusions Large area of cerebral ischemia, might cause myocardial injury. ET-1 is involved in the course of myocardial injury following cerebral ischemia. Though cerebral reperfusion can protect brain,but it make myocardial injury more serious,and ET-1 might participate in this course.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of flunarizine combined with salvianolate in the treatment of acute migraine. METHODS:A total of 72 patients with acute migraine were randomly divided into control group(36 cases)and observation group (36 cases). Based on routine treatment,control group was given Flunarizine hydrochloride capsules orally,10 mg for 65 year-old and below once a day,5 mg for more than 65 year-old once a day. Observation group was additionally given Flunarizine hydrochloride for injection 200 mg intravenously,once a day,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated contineously till cured or for 2 weeks. Clinical efficacy,onset time,recovery time,VAS score,frequency and duration of head-ache attack,ADR were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:In the course of treatment,the two groups did not terminate and fall off, and all of them completed the treatment. The total response rate(97.22%)of observation group was significantly higher than that (86.11%)of control group;onset time and recovery time of observation group were both shorter than those of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in VAS score,frequency or duration of headache attack between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,VAS score,frequency and duration of headache attack in 2 groups were all significantly lower than before,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:Based on routine treatment,flunarizine hydrochloride capsules combined with Salvianolate injection show significant effica-cy for acute migraine with good safety.
