[Method] A total of 58 cows were assigned to four groups. The cows in group 1 and group 2 suffered from Qi deficiency and Blood stasis. The cows in group 1 were gavaged with Chanfukang （0.5 g/kg-BW, 5 d） at 12 h post partum, but the cows in group 2 were not treated. The cows in group 3 were healthy and gavaged with Chanfukang （0.4 g/kg.BW, 5 d） at 12 h post partum. Cows in group 4 were healthy control cows. The plasma endothelin （ET） concentration and serum nitric oxide （NO） concentration were determined before and after parturition, respectively. [ Result ] The plasma ET concentration and serum NO concentration were significantly higher in the cows with Qi deficiency and Blood stasis than in the healthy control cows （P 〈 0.05）. The NO concentration decreased on Day 10 post partum in the cows with Qi deficiency and Blood stasis, but it was still higher than that in the healthy control cows. After taking Chanfukang for 7 d, the ET concentration and NO concentration decreased, and no significant difference was found between the cows with Qi deficiency and Blood stasis treated with Chanfukang and the healthy control cows. [ Conclusion] Chanfukang may relieve Qi deficiency and Blood stasis of postpartum cows through decreasing plasma ET concentration and serum NO concentration.展开更多

Methods： Ameroid constrictor ring was placed on the first interval of left anterior descending coronary artery to prepare chronic myocardial ischemia model on Chinese miniature swine. Animals were randomly divided into sham group and model group with 10 animals in each group, respectively. The dynamic symptoms observation of the four diagnostic information was collected from 0 to 12 weeks. Echocardiography was employed to evaluate cardiac function and the degree of myocardial ischemia, 2-DE and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-MS） were used to carry out proteomics research on animals. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied to identify the relevant differential proteins on chronic myocardial ischemia with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Results： The preliminary study found that at the 12th week, chronic myocardial ischemia with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome model was established stably. Compared with the sham group, there were 8 different proteins down-regulated, 22 proteins up-regulated significantly. After validated by MALDI- TOF-MS/MS, 11 protein spots were identified. Distinct proteins were mainly associated with energy metabolism and myocardial structural injury, including isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 （NAD＋） alpha, NADH dehydrogenase （NAD） Fe-S protein 1, chain A （crystal structure of aidose reductase by binding domain reveals a new Nadph）, heat shock protein 27 （HSP27）, oxidoreductase （NAD-binding protein）, antioxidant protein isoform, cardiac troponin T （cTnT）, myosin （myosin light polypeptide）, cardiac alpha tropomyosin, apolipoprotein A- I and albumin. Conclusion： Down-regulated energy metabolism disorder mediated by NADH respiratory chain and myocardial injury may be the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. These proteins may be the potential diagnostic marker（s） for qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, finally provided new clues for new therapeutic drug target of Chinese medicine展开更多

文摘The traditional Chinese medicine concepts of"Xinxueyuzuzheng(heart blood stasis obstruction pattern)"and"Qiyinliangxuzheng(qi and yin deficiency pattern)"for myocardial ischemia rat models were constructed in the present study.Endogenous metabolites in rat plasma were analyzed using the GC/TOF-MS-based metabonomic method.Significant metabolic differences were observed between the control and two model groups,and the three groups were distinguished clearly by pattern recognition.Compared with those of the control,the levels of hydroxyproline,threonic acid,glutamine and citric acid were strikingly up or down-regulated in model rats.The metabolites contributing most to the classification between the two"pattern"rats were identified,such as valine,serine,threonine,ornithine,hydroxyproline,lysine,2-hydroxybutanoic acid,3-hydroxybutanoic acid,galactofuranose and inositol.These compounds were indicated as the potential biomarkers.The results suggested that the two"patterns"are involved in dysfunction in oxidative stress,energy metabolism and amino acid metabolism.These findings also provided the substantial foundation for exploring the scientific connotation of these two"Zhengxing(pattern types)"of myocardial ischemia,and"Bianzheng(pattern identification)".

文摘Objective： To inquire the characteristic proteins in chronic myocardial ischemia by testing twodimensional electrophoresis （2-DE） map to explore the possible inherent pathological mechanism and the therapeutic intervention of qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Methods： Ameroid constrictor ring was placed on the first interval of left anterior descending coronary artery to prepare chronic myocardial ischemia model on Chinese miniature swine. Animals were randomly divided into sham group and model group with 10 animals in each group, respectively. The dynamic symptoms observation of the four diagnostic information was collected from 0 to 12 weeks. Echocardiography was employed to evaluate cardiac function and the degree of myocardial ischemia, 2-DE and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry （MALDI-TOF-MS） were used to carry out proteomics research on animals. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was applied to identify the relevant differential proteins on chronic myocardial ischemia with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. Results： The preliminary study found that at the 12th week, chronic myocardial ischemia with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome model was established stably. Compared with the sham group, there were 8 different proteins down-regulated, 22 proteins up-regulated significantly. After validated by MALDI- TOF-MS/MS, 11 protein spots were identified. Distinct proteins were mainly associated with energy metabolism and myocardial structural injury, including isocitrate dehydrogenase 3 （NAD＋） alpha, NADH dehydrogenase （NAD） Fe-S protein 1, chain A （crystal structure of aidose reductase by binding domain reveals a new Nadph）, heat shock protein 27 （HSP27）, oxidoreductase （NAD-binding protein）, antioxidant protein isoform, cardiac troponin T （cTnT）, myosin （myosin light polypeptide）, cardiac alpha tropomyosin, apolipoprotein A- I and albumin. Conclusion： Down-regulated energy metabolism disorder mediated by NADH respiratory chain and myocardial injury may be the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia with qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. These proteins may be the potential diagnostic marker（s） for qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, finally provided new clues for new therapeutic drug target of Chinese medicine
