[Methods] The cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats were isolated and cultured,and the H_2O_2 induced cardiomyocyte injury model was established. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium( MTT) assay was used to detect the protective effects of Roudoukou-8 San extract on H_2O_2 induced cardiomyocyte. The effects of Roudoukou-8 San on cardiomyocyte morphology were observed under inverted microscope. The contents of lactate dehydrogenase( LDH),creatine kinase( CK) and aspartate aminotransferase( AST) in cell culture medium were determined by automatic biochemical instrument; the levels of malondialdehyde( MDA),superoxide dismutase( SOD) and nitric oxide( NO) in the cells were detected by kit method. The apoptotic morphology of cardiomyocytes was observed by Hoechst fluorescence staining.Cell apoptosis were measured by Annexin V and PI double staining and flow cytometer. [Results]100 μmol/L of H_2O_2 acting 2 h could cause about 50% of cardiomyocyte injury. H_2O_2 model group showed increased cell gap,decreased cell count,cell cytoplasmic vacuoles and other obvious damages. Compared with H_2O_2 model group,in Roudoukou-8 San extract dose groups,cardiomyocyte morphology showed different degrees of improvement,Roudoukou-8 San extract can significantly reduce the content of LDH,CK and AST in H_2O_2 injured myocardial cell culture solution,significantly reduce content of MDA and NO in H_2O_2 injured myocardial cells,increase the SOD activity,and significantly inhibit the apoptosis of H_2O_2 injured myocardial cells. [Conclusions]Through improving the cell survival status,increasing the cell viability,reducing oxidative stress injury,inhibiting inflammatory responses,and inhibiting apoptosis,Roudoukou-8 San extract can improve the state of H_2O_2 induced cardiomyocyte injury,so as to protect H_2O_2 injured myocardial cells.展开更多
