    LI Xiao-yu, LUAN Yong-fu, SUN Rong
    2015, 12(8): 449-453. 
    Abstract ( 370 )   PDF (558KB) ( 225 )  
    Objective The efficacy and heart toxicity of Aconite's water decoction on spleen-kidney yang deficiency rat with heart failure were studied to explore "efficacy-toxicity" relationship of Aconite on animal models combined disease and syndrome. Methods Chronic heart failure rat model was established with isoprenaline by subcutaneous injection and spleen-kidney yang deficiency rat model was established with rhubarb powder suspension. Rat models were established and Aconite's water decoction was administered simultaneously for 9 consecutive days. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and hemodynamics of rats were measured. Heart, left ventricular, brain, liver, spleen and kidney were weighed and indexes of them were calculated. The activities of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP), high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) were detected. Results The heart rate of rats dropped, the amplitude of T enlarged and QRS extended after the administration of Aconite's water decoction in the dosage range of 1.35~5.40 g·kg-1. Left ventricular pressure (LVSP) and left ventricular pressure development during isovolumetric contraction/relaxation(±dp/dtmax) elevated and the levels of serum NT-pro BNP and hs-CRP reduced. Heart index and left ventricular index increased. Conclusion Aconite's water decoction in the dosage range of 1.35~5.40 g·kg-1 has certain efficacy on spleen-kidney yang deficiency rat with heart failure, showing that the evaluation on the "efficacy-toxicity" correlation of Radix Aconiti Lateralis has important significance to ensure the safety of clinical cardiac function.

    Study on Protective Effect of Chinese Herb Serum on RGCs Purified Cultured under the Condition of Hypoxia in Vitro
    LI Ying, DI Hong-lian
    2015, 12(8): 454-457. 
    Abstract ( 318 )   PDF (506KB) ( 132 )  
    Objective To explore the protective effect and mechanism of Bushenhuoxue(invigorating the kidney and promoting blood circulation) TCM serum on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) purified cultured under the condition of hypoxia in vitro. Methods 30 neonatal rats 1d after birth were selected. Through the two step screening system, the RGCs of SD neonatal rats were purified cultured. 6 SD rats 7d after birth were selected and through improved enzymatic digestion technique, retinal Muller cells of neonatal SD rats were purified cultured. Then, according to the ratio of 1:25, RGCs were inoculated in the medium coated by retinal Muller cells to establish a common culture model. Glucose (50 mmol·L-1) and sodium dithionite (1.0 mmol·L-1) (high glucose hypoxia group), only glucose (50 mmol·L-1) (high glucose group) and sodium dithionite (1.0 mmol·L-1) (hypoxia group) were respectively added into the medium in vitro. Based on this, formulated Bushenhuoxue TCM serum of 20% volume fraction was respectively added for intervention. And the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and activity of glutamine synthetase (GS) in extracellular fluid of the model were respectively determined in 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. Results In 48 h, 72 h, the leakages of LDH in the normal control group, high glucose group and hypoxia group significantly increased, compared with that in 24 h (P <0.05). Comparing normal control group, high glucose group, hypoxia group and high glucose hypoxia group with their respectively corresponding TCM intervention in the same time, it could be found that the leakages of LDH were significantly higher than those TCM intervention groups (P <0.05). When it was 48 h and 72 h, the activity of GS in normal control group, high glucose group, hypoxia group, high glucose hypoxia group and their corresponding TCM intervention group increased significantly, compared with that in 24 h (P <0.05). With extension of time, the activity of GS in normal control group, high glucose group, hypoxia group, high glucose hypoxia group was significantly lower than that of the TCM intervention group. Conclusion High glucose or anoxic conditions can cause deviation of cell membrane stability of RGCs and retinal Muller cells and increase of permeability. Bushenhuoxue TCM can improve the stability of the cell membrane and increase GS activity, so as to protect the RGCs cells.

    Objective To probe into the general rules, characteristics and risk factors of the ADR induced by adefovir so as to provide references for clinical safe medication. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 160 ADR cases induced by adefovir which were collected by Shandong adverse drug reaction database, discussed the time distribution of the ADRs, and emphatically analyzed the ADRs of the skeletal muscle system lesions and hypophosphatemia. Results The ADRs induced by adefovir mainly involved in stomach intestinal system lesions and skin and local lesions. The serious ADRs by adefovir mainly involved in skeletal muscle system lesions and urinary system lesions, and usually appeared after a long-term administration. Stomach intestinal system lesions and skin and local lesions usually appeared within half a year, abnormal liver and renal function and hypophosphatemia usually appeared after half a year, skeletal muscle system lesions usually appeared after one year, osteomalacia usually appeared after four years. Conclusion The ADRs induced by adefovir were related to administration time, and would lead to nephrotoxicity, hypophosphatemic and osteomalacia after long-term administration of adefovir. The serious ADRs by adefovir were easy to appeare in the patients with liver cirrhosis or who were elderly.
