METHODS： A model of liver cirrhosis was replicated in rats by intra-peritoneal injection of CCh for 8 wk. We determined the effect of hepatic PAF and its receptor level on portal and arterial pressure by EIA, saturation binding and RT-PCR technique. RESULTS： Compared to control rats, cirrhotic rats had higher hepatic PAF levels and output as well as higher plasma PAF levels （P〈0.01, P〈0.01, P〈0.05, respectively）. Both hepatic PAF receptor mRNA levels and PAF binding were nearly 3-fold greater in cirrhotic rats （P〈0.01）. Portal injection of PAF （1 g/kg WT） increased the portal pressure by 22% and 33% in control and cirrhotic rats, respectively. In contrast, the arterial pressure was decreased in the both groups （54% in control rats and 42% in cirrhotic rats）. Injection of the PAF antagonist BN52021 （5 mg/kg WT） decreased the portal pressure by 16% in cirrhotic rats but had no effect in the control rats. CONCLUSION： The upregulation of the PAF system contributes to hepatic hemodynamic and metabolic abnormalities in drrhosis, and the increased release of PAF into the circulation has impacts on the systemic hemodynamics.展开更多

In drugs acting on the cardiovascular and blood system, antithrombotie drugs will become a new attraction on the market. Antithrombotic drugs are primarily formed by the anti-platelet aggregation, coagulation system activation of plasminogen thrombolytic drugs and the like. Antiplatelet drugs have both prevention and treatment effect, are the main category of antithrombotic drugs. According to IMS Health data, in 2008, sale of anti-thrombosis drug in global market is 180 million U.S. dollars, an increase of 16 %, while in 2009 the growth rate is only 7.95%, reaching $ 19.5 billion, growth rate of antithrombotic drugs is 7.13% in the world＇ s major pharmaceutical market.展开更多
