ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the improvement effects of fibrinolytic enzyme from Sipunculus nudus (SNFE) on hemorheology disorder and vascular endothelium injury in naked acute blood stasis model rats. METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, aspirin group (100 mg/kg) and SNFE high-dose and low-dose groups (2 500, 5 000 U/kg), with 10 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically once a day, for consecutive 7 d. One hour after the 6th day of administration, except for control group, other groups were given adrenaline hydrochloride 0.8 mg/kg subcutaneously, and then the acute blood stasis model was induced by ice-water bath. Blood was collected from abdominal aorta 2 h after the next day. Blood rheological parameters such as whole blood viscosity (high, medium and low shear rate), plasma viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte aggregation index and erythrocyte deformability index were measured by automatic rheometer. The contents of NO and ET-1 in plasma and their ratio were determined by ELISA, and the damaged degree of vascular endothelium were observed by HE staining. RESULTS: Compared with control group, whole blood viscosity of high, medium and low-shear rate, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index and ET-1 content were increased significantly in model group, while erythrocyte deformability index, NO content and NO/ET-1 ratio were decreased significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, whole blood viscosity of high, medium and low-shear rate, plasma viscosity, hematocrit, erythrocyte aggregation index and ET-1 content were decreased significantly in SNFE high-dose groups. Erythrocyte deformability index, NO content and NO/ET-1 ratio were increased significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In SNFE low-dose group, erythrocyte deformability index and NO/ET-1 ratio were increased significantly, while ET-1 content was decreased significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Vascular endothelial staining showed that compared with control group, the structure of aorta layers in model group was loose and disordered, the endothelial defect was incomplete, the vacuoles increased, and the endothelial damage was obvious. The endothelium of rats in each administration group was damaged to varying degrees, but the degree of injury was lighter than in model group. CONCLUSIONS: SNFE can improve hemorheological abnormalities and vascular endothelial injury in rats with acute blood stasis.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To elucidate the rationality of integrated processing technology of Leonuri Herba based on comparison of chemical constituents and pharmacological effect of Leonuri Herba between traditional and integrated processing technology. Method:The contents of stachydrine hydrochloride,leonurine hydrochloride,rutin,hyperoside and isoquercetin were used as indexes to compare the differences in the contents of chemical constituents between traditional and integration processing technology of Leonuri Herba.Effect of Leonuri Herba with different processing technology on auricular swelling induced by dimethylbenzene in mice were observed to compared the differences of their anti-inflammatory effect.And rat acute blood stasis model was used to compare the differences of Leonuri Herba with different processing technology on hemorheology and blood coagulation indexes. Result:Contents of stachydrine hydrochloride,leonurine hydrochloride,rutin,hyperoside and isoquercetin in products of integrated processing were 1.558%,0.168%,0.137%,0.113% and 0.078%,they were 1.482%,0.134%,0.125%,0.082% and 0.071% in products of traditional processing,respectively.Both of the processing methods could reduce the degree of swelling and the contents of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6 in mouse serum.And both of the processing methods could reduce the whole blood viscosity,prolong the thrombin time(TT),prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) and reduce the concentration of plasma fibrinogen(FIB) in acute blood stasis model rats. Conclusion:Compared with the traditional processing technology,the integrated processing technology is better in guaranteeing the quality of Leonuri Herba decoction pieces and reducing the production cost,which indicates that the integrated processing of Leonuri Herba is reasonable.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the effects of Moutan Cortex, Paeoniae Rubra Radix, and Paeoniae Alba Radix on the acute blood stasis model rats, and reveal their mechanism and differences in efficacy. Methods: The actue blood stasis model of rats was induced by sc injecting adrenaline hydrochloride and soaking in ice water. Salvia Injection was used as the positive control drug. The changes of viscosity of whole blood and plasma, thrombin activity, blood platelet system, and the contents of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α were detected in the acute blood stasis model rats. Results: Compared with the model group, Moutan Cortex obviously extended PT, and TT (P < 0.05), inhibited platelet adhesion rate (P < 0.01), reduced TXB2 (P < 0.01), increased 6-keto-PGF1α in serum (P < 0.01), and regulated eNOS and p-eNOS expression (P < 0.01, 0.001). Paeoniae Rubra Radix significantly improved whole blood viscosity at different shear rates, extended APTT, TT, and PT (P < 0.05, 0.01), reduced platelet adhesion rate (P < 0.05), decreased TXB2, increased 6-keto-PGF1α in serum (P < 0.01), and increased eNOS and p-eNOS expression (P < 0.05). Paeoniae Alba Radix had no significant effect on hemorheology, but could significantly prolong APTT and TT (P < 0.05), reduce platelet adhesion rate (P < 0.05), increase the content of 6-keto-PGF1α in serum (P < 0.05) and increase the eNOS and p-eNOS expression in platelet. Conclusion: All Moutan Cortex, Paeoniae Rubra Radix, and Paeoniae Alba Radix have varying degrees on hemorheology, coagulation system, platelet system, but Moutan Cortex and Paeoniae Rubra Radix have the better role in promoting blood circulation compared with Paeoniae Alba Radix.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the effect of different extracts from carbonized Rubiae Radix et Rhizoma (RRR) on acute blood stasis model of rats, in order to screen the optimal extraction method for its hemostatic effect by removing blood stasis. Methods: The acute blood stasis models of rats were established with sc injection of high-dose adrenaline hydrochloride after continuous administration for 8 d and being socked in ice-water, using Yunnan Baiyao as positive drug. The effect of the alcohol extract, compound (alcohol + aqueous) extract, aqueous extract, and aqueous extract after alcohol extracting on hemorheology, in vitro thrombus, blood plotelets system, and fibrinolytic system in acute blood stasis model of rats were observed. Results: Compared with the control group, the whole blood viscosity in each shear rate (P < 0.01) and the wet and dry weight of in vitro thrombus could be increased (P < 0.05), the coagulation time was prolonged (P < 0.05, 0.01), the FIB content and platelet aggregation rate induced by ADP increased (P < 0.01), the PAI-1 and TXB2 contents increased, and the 6-keto-PGF1α content decreased in the rats of model group (P < 0.05, 0.01). Compared with the model group, both the alcohol extract and compound extract could significantly improve the whole blood viscosity, decrease the wet and dry weight of external thrombus, shorten the coagulation time, increase the contents of PAI-1 and 6-keto-PGF1α, and decrease the TXB2 content (P < 0.05, 0.01). Both of them could make platelet aggregation rate increased, but have no significant influence on the content of FIB. The alcohol extract significantly decreased the content of t-PA (P < 0.05), while the compound extract significantly increased t-PA content (P < 0.01). The compound extract has influenced the hemorheology and the wet and dry weight of in vitro thrombus greater than the alcohol extract. While on the coagulation time, the effect of alcohol extract is greater. Conclusion: The hemostatic effects by removing blood stasis of alcohol extract and compound extract are stronger than those of others, especially the compound extract. In other words, the optimal extraction method of its hemostatic effect by removing blood stasis is the compound extract.
