ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect of Shengxiantang on cardiac function and myocardial microvascular injury in rats with chronic heart failure (CHF). MethodsThe CHF rat model was prepared by aortic arch constriction (TAC). Of the 72 SD rats, 8 were randomly selected as the sham operation group, where the chest was opened without ligating the aortic arch. The 40 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group, the Shengxiantang low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (5.1, 10.2, 20.4 g·kg-1), and the trimetazidine group (6.3 mg·kg-1), with 8 rats in each group. Drug administration began 4 weeks after modeling. The administration groups received the corresponding drugs by gavage, while the sham operation and model groups were given the same amount of distilled water for 8 consecutive weeks. Echocardiography was used to assess cardiac function. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of nitric oxide (NO), endothelin (ET-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and von Willebrand factor (vWF). Ultrastructural changes of microvessels were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of ATP synthase subunit (ATP5D) and F-actin in myocardial tissue. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of occludin, claudin, vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-Cadherin), and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). Microvessel density was measured by immunofluorescence staining. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the ejection fraction (EF) and left ventricular shortening fraction (FS) in the model group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the left ventricular diastolic diameter (LVIDd), left ventricular systolic diameter (LVIDs), left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWd), left ventricular end-systolic posterior wall thickness (LVPWs), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVVOLd), and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVVOLs) were significantly increased (P<0.01). The levels of NO and VEGF were significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the levels of ET-1 and vWF were significantly increased (P<0.01). Under electron microscopy, the microvascular basement membrane was incomplete and the tight junctions were blurred. The expression levels of ATP5D, F-actin, occludin, claudin, ZO-1, and VE-Cadherin were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the relative density of microvessels was significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). After intervention with Shengxiantang, the EF and FS of CHF rats significantly increased (P<0.01), while the LVIDd, LVIDs, LVPWd, LVPWs, LVVOLd, and LVVOLs significantly decreased (P<0.01). The levels of NO and VEGF significantly increased (P<0.01), while the levels of ET-1 and vWF significantly decreased (P<0.01). Under electron microscopy, the microvascular basement membrane was relatively complete and the tight junctions were more continuous. The expression levels of ATP5D, F-actin, occludin, claudin, ZO-1, and VE-Cadherin significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the relative density of microvessels significantly increased (P<0.01). ConclusionShengxiantang can effectively improve the cardiac function of CHF rats, reduce microvascular endothelial injury, strengthen the connection between endothelial cells, and increase microvessel density, thereby protecting myocardial microvascular injury.

OBJECTIVE To study the inhibitory effect of ethyl acetate extract from Mimosa pudica root (ethyl acetate extract for short) on acute myeloid leukemia in mice. METHODS Different concentrations of ethyl acetate extract (0.062 5, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 mg/mL) were used to treat acute myelomonocytic leukemia cell lines WEHI-3, and their effects on cell viability were investigated. Fifty BALB/C mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, positive control group (5- fluorouracil, 13 mg/kg), and ethyl acetate extract low-dose and high-dose groups (50, 200 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Except for the blank control group, the leukemia model was constructed by intraperitoneal injection of WEHI-3 cells in other groups, and from the second day of modeling, corresponding drugs/water were orally administered once a day for 14 consecutive days. After the last administration, the liver and spleen indexes of mice were measured, and liver tissue pathological morphology observation, hematological analysis, and white blood cell differentiation detection were performed; the levels of cytokine [interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-3, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)] in serum were determined; the levels of leukocyte surface markers [cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3), CD19, CD11b, CD107b (Mac-3)] in whole blood were all detected. RESULTS After treated with 0.062 5-0.5 mg/mL ethyl acetate, the inhibition rate of cell proliferation were increased significantly (P<0.05). After intervention with high-dose ethyl acetate, the liver and spleen index, serum level of TNF-α, the levels of CD11b and Mac-3 in blood were significantly reduced (P<0.05), while serum levels of IL-2, IL-3 and IFN-γ, and the levels of CD3 and CD19 in blood were increased significantly (P<0.05). Occasional lymphocyte infiltration was present in the liver parenchyma, with almost no infiltration of inflammatory cells; hematology improvement and weakened white blood cell differentiation were found. CONCLUSIONS The ethyl acetate extract of M. pudica root can inhibit the proliferation of WEHI-cells, and improve symptoms in acute myeloid leukemia mice, the mechanism of which may be associated with enhancing the immune function.

OBJECTIVE To study the protective effect and possible mechanism of soybean isoflavones against threatened miscarriage rats. METHODS Female mice were selected to promote estrus and mate with male mice. After pregnancy, they were randomly divided into normal group (purified water, i.g., n=10), model group (purified water, i.g., n=9), positive control drug group (progesterone 4 mg/kg, i.m., n=9), low-, medium- and high-dose soybean isoflavone groups (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg, i.g., n=10). Except for the normal group, the rest were given mifepristone+misoprostol on the 8th day of pregnancy to establish threatened miscarriage model, and then given purified water or drugs, once a day, on days 1-7 and 9-12 of pregnancy, respectively. At 14 days of pregnancy, the rates of fetal protection were counted. Serum levels of β-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) and progesterone (P) in rats were detected. Pathological and morphological changes in rat placenta and decidua tissues were observed, and the apoptosis indexes of cells were detected; mRNA and protein expressions of factor of apoptosis related (Fas), factor of apoptosis related ligand (FasL), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) were determined in placenta tissues, and mRNA and protein expressions of Fas, PCNA and HB-EGF in decidua tissues were detected. RESULTS In the model group, the placental tissues of rats were hyperemia and dilatation, with fewer and irregular blood vessels; severe stromal edema,inflammatory cell infiltration and iron-choledrin depositionwere observed. Compared with model group, the fetal survival rates, serum levels of β-HCG and P, the expressions of PCNA and HB-EGF mRNA and proteins in the placenta and decidua tissue of soybean isoflavone groups increased significantly (P< 0.05), while pathological changes were improved significantly; cell apoptosis index in the placenta and decidua tissue, the expressions of Fas, FasL mRNA and proteins in the placenta and Fas mRNA and protein in the decidua tissue decreased significantly (P<0.05). The effect of soybean isoflavones was dose-dependent (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Soybean isoflavone has protective effect on threatened miscarriage, the mechanism of which is related to down-regulating the expressions of Fas and FasL mRNA and protein at the maternal-fetal interface, and up-regulating the expressions of mRNA and protein of PCNA and HB- EGF.
