RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Shengmai San ((see text) Pulse-activating Powder) in protecting myocardium in the rat of the type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) model. METHODS: The DCM rat model was established by combination of insulin resistance induced by a high-fat diet with intraperitoneal injection of high dose streptozotocin (50 mg/kg). And these rat models were randomly divided into three groups: a normal group (n = 12,one of them died), a model group (n = 15) and a Shengmai San group (treatment group, n = 15).The damage of the myocardium was assessed by electrocardiogram at the twelfth week after modeling, and the blood glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels were determined; the content of the left cardiac ventricle myocardial collagen was quantified by Masson staining test; the level of myocardial cell apoptosis was detected with TUNEL apoptosis detection kit; the damage extent of the myocardial sub-cellular structures was observed by electron microscopy; the expression levels of cardiac TSP-1 (Thrombospondin-1), TGF-beta1 (Transforming Growth F factor-beta) and TRB-3 (Tribbles homolog 3) proteins were detected by immunohistochemical method; the expression levels of cardiac TSP-1, A-TGF-beta1 and L-TGF-beta1 proteins were detected by Western blotting; and the expression levels of TSP-1 and TRB-3 mRNAs were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides levels in both the model groups and the Shengmai San group were significantly decreased; the myocardial tissue was less damaged and the collagen content was reduced in the Shengmai San group; the myocardial sub-cellular structure was injured to a lesser extent; the expression levels of myocardial TSP-1, TGF-beta1, TRB-3, and TSP-1, A-TGF-beta1, L-TGF-beta1 and chymase were decreased, and the expression levels of TSP-1 mRNA and TRB-3 mRNA were decreased in both the model groups and the Shengmai San group (the latter was better),. CONCLUSION: Shengmai San can inhibit myocardial fibrosis in the rat of diabetic cardiomyopathy, and significantly delay the formation of diabetic cardiomyopathy in hyperglycemia rats through multiple pathways.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of tonifying kidney,tonifying spleen,invigorating the circulation of blood on the expression of hematopooietic cytokines of bone marrow suppression induced by chemotherapy. METHODS: Automated blood analyzer was used to detect the level of RBC and HGB, 14th and 28 days, while real time quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect EPO, EPOR mRNA expression. RESULTS: Liuwei Dihuang Tang, Buzhong Yiqi Tang and Compound Danshen Decoction group could increase the level of RBC and HGB significantly. Liuwei Dihuang Tang and Buzhong Yiqi Tang groups could increase the mRNA expression level of EPO and EPOR significantly. However, there was no significantly difference when Compound Danshen Decoction group compared with control group on EPO, EPOR mRNA expression level. CONCLUSION: The tonifying kidney, tonifying spleen, invigorate the circulation of blood are stable and reliable as to enhance the role of peripheral blood; tonifying kidney, tonifying spleen can improve EPO, EPOR mRNA expression levels, and promote the proliferation of bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, and promote the differentiation of erythroid blood cells to increase red blood cell line; And invigorate the circulation of blood promote hematopoietic mechanisms have to be further studied.

BACKGROUND: In order to observe the protective therapeutic action and mechanism of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction, Buzhong Yiqi Decoction, and Compound Danshen Decoction on Myelosuppression induced by cyclophosphamide. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The mice model was established by intraperitoneal injected with 100 mg/kg cyclophosphamide by human and mice dose conversion on the 9(th), 11(th), 13(th) days during the experiment. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used for detecting the number of cells and investigating bone marrow cell cycles. Spleen was taken out and the mRNA expression level of thrombopoietin (TPO) and c-Mpl were detected by Q-PCR, and c-Mpl in spleen in order to discuss the mechanism of myelosuppression and the protective effects of traditional Chinese medicine. RESULTS: Both Liuwei Dihuang Decoction Group and Buzhong Yiqi Decoction Group can accelerate bone marrow hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) in marrow-suppressed mice and enhance cell proliferation by promoting cell cycles from G0/G1 phase to access into S, G2/M phase. And at the same time these Chinese decoctions can increase the mRNA expression level of TPO and c-Mpl in spleen. CONCLUSION: Researched showed that Chinese formula take effect by affecting these genes on myelosuppressed mice.
