Methods 120 patients with unstable angina pectoris who were not well responsed to common medication were studied. Their ECG stress tests were abnormal and there were ischemic changes in Holter. Urokinase 300,000 U was added in 100 ml normal saline and in- jected within 30 min once a day for 3 days. 300 mg as- pirin was administrated a day before and during uroki- nase applications. Before and after urokinase treat- ments , endothelin-1 , plasma tissue plasminogen activa- tor and its inhibitor-lwere determined. Results Compared with pretreatments, after treatments, the ac- tivities of tissue plasminogen activator increased, endo- thelin-1 and the inhibitor-1 decreased. The changes were significant. Conclusions Modified thrombolytic therapy can regulate the vasoactive substances origina- ted endotheiium in patients with unstable angina pecto- ris . The major substances include endothelin-1, plasma tissue plasminogen activator and inhibitor-1. This mechanism may suggest that urokinase can treat coro- nary heart disease effectively.展开更多

Serum S1P and Adropin levels were compared between two groups of patients before and after stent implantation, and the inner link of S1P and Adropin levels with vasoactive substance and cytokine levels in patients with restenosis after cerebrovascular stent implantation was further explored.Results: Before stent implantation, the differences in serum levels of S1P, Adropin, vasoactive substances and cytokines were not statistically significant between two groups of patients. After stent implantation, serum S1P and Adropin levels in observation group were lower than those in control group;serum vasoactive substance NO level was lower than that in control group while ET-1, TXB2 and AngⅡ levels were higher than those in control group;serum inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-13 levels were higher than those in control group. Pearson test showed that serum S1P and Adropin levels in patients with restenosis after cerebrovascular stent implantation were directly correlated with the levels of vasoactive substances and cytokines.Conclusion: Serum S1P and Adropin are lowly expressed in patients with restenosis after cerebrovascular stent implantation, and their specific expression are directly correlated with the levels of vasoactive substances and inflammatory cytokines, and can be used as the reliable indexes for early prediction of restenosis after cerebrovascular stent implantation.展开更多

Methods: Model rats with hyperactivity of liver-yang hyperactivity were prepared using male SD rats.Once successful, the rats were randomly divided into groups and given medicine by gavage for 4 weeks. Blood wascollected from the abdominal aorta to prepare serum. Serum nitric oxide (NO) concentration was determined bychemical colorimetry. The contents of ET, TXB2 and 6-K-PGF1a were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbentassay (ELISA). Results: Compared with the control model group, the blood pressure, serum ET and TXB2 of rats in thewind dispelling medicine group was not significantly reduced, while those of rats in captopril group, Tianma GoutengDecoction I group (TGD group) decreased significantly (P 〈0.05 for both). Interestingly, the blood pressure, serum ETand TXB2 of rats in the combination group (wind dispelling medicine & TGD) decreased significantly compared withboth wind dispelling medicine group and TGD group. Meanwhile, the levels of serum NO and 6- K-PGF1a in thecombination group was much higher than those in the wind dispelling medicine group or TGD group (P 〈0.05 for both).However, the levels of serum NO and 6- K-PGF1a in the wind dispelling medicine group was not significantly increasedcompared with the model group. Conclusion: There is no direct pressure lowering effects of wind dispelling medicinealone, while wind dispelling medicine could potentiates the antihypertensive effects of Tianma Gouteng Decoction I.Besides, the synergistic effects may be related to decreased ET and TXB2 levels and the increased NO and 6- K-PGF1alevels.展开更多

Kidney asthenia lasting for a long time will result in blood stasis. Also, the cause of VD may have relationships with endothelin (ET), nitric oxide (NO), homocysteine (HCY), estrogen (E2), and testosterone (T). OBJECTIVE: To observed clinical curative effect of the kidney tonic, pancreas tonic, and blood tonic with promoting blood circulation components in treating kidney asthenia with blood stasis syndrome of VD. DESIGN: Case controlled study. SETTING: Geriatric Institute of Integrated Medicine, Fujian College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 70 patients, including 39 males and 31 females aged 60-80 years, were selected from Department of Neurology, Pingshan Hospital from May 2000 to September 2002. Diagnostic criteria were used for probable VD of the American Psychiatric Association. Diagnostic and Statistical of Manual of Mental Disorder, 4th ed (DSM-Ⅳ), 1994 revised, mini-mental state examination (MMSE), and criteria of kidney asthenia with blood stasis with mixed weak and sthenia syndrome of Guidelines of Clinical Research of New Chinese Medicine in Treating Dementia. According to score of kidney asthenia with blood stasis syndrome, they were classified to three groups: mild (n =22), moderate (n =33) and severe (n =15). All of them with complete chest X-Ray, ECG, blood chemistry and other related examinations, exclusive of cardiovascular, liver, kidney diseases, homeopathy and psychiatry diseases. And hereby we also select 30 normal people as the comparing group, having no substantial diseases in heart, brain, kidney, liver, lung and other main organic systems after medical examination. Of this group, 11 were males and 19 were females, ranging from 62 years old to 78 years old. There were no obvious differences between the above two groups in sex, age, and education level after statistical analysis. All patients observed in Pingxi Hospital, Fuzhou, from May 2000 to September 2002. METHODS: ① According to the diagnoses standard of blood stasis syndrome: 0-89: The increase in score indicated that blood stasis syndrome was getting serious. ② According to MMSE: All the test samples were evaluated, those with scores of 0-30, in which the non-educated ≤ 17, primary school ≤ 20, above middle school ≤ 24 were categorized. ③ Testing all sample's ET, E2 and T by using radioimmunoassay, the RIA kits were provided by Scientific and Technological Development Center of General Hospital of PLA. ④ Testing the level of NO by using colorimetic method. ⑤ Testing the level of HCY by using Enzyme-linked Immunoassay. ⑥ Meanwhile, analyzing the blood stasis score by comparing with every standard. The differences of data were compared by using t test and F test. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Blood plasma ET, blood serum NO, HCY, E2 and T. ② The analyzing results obtained from comparing score of blood stasis with every indicators. RESULTS: The result analysis was including of both the 70 patients of VD with kidney asthenia and blood stasis and compared group consist of 30 healthy people. ① ET, NO, HCY and ET/NO: The levels of ET, HCY and ET/NO were increasing with pathography, while the levels of ET, NO, HCY and ET/NO were decreasing with the pathography, and the difference in statistics was significant (P < 0.01). ② The level of E2 and T: The levels of both E2, T and E2/T for male VD patients were (67.72±12.18) pg/L and (351.58±155.02) ng/L, 0.24±0.12 respectively, which were higher than the compared group [(53.96±16.13) pg/L, (471.83±143.99) ng/L, 0.12±0.00, P < 0.05]. The level of E2 in the female VD patients was lower than the compared group [(34.23±10.99), (44.81±14.65) pg/L, P < 0.05]. ③ The relationship between the score of blood stasis and each indicators: The levels of ET, ET/NO and HCY had significant positive relationship with blood stasis mark (r = 0.352, 0.754, 0.347, P < 0.05-0.01), obvious negative relationship with NO (r =-0.528, P < 0.01) and no clear relationship with female E2/T and male E2/T (r = -0.210, 0.04, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: ① The levels of ET, HCY and ET/NO are increasing with pathography, while the level of NO is decreasing, which may be the evidence that the possibility of VD pathography may have relationship with the indicators above. ② The level of E2 increase in male's VD patients, and decrease in male's. And the decrease of the female may have relationship with the VD.展开更多
