Abstract
|
[Objective] To explore the influence on myocardial ischemia by testing TNF-α and VEGF in the rats pre-injected with XiangDan injection into PC6.[Methods] SD rats were received XiangDan injection into PC6 for 14 days,followed by subcutaneous isoprenaline injection at abdomen to inducing myocardial ischemia.TNF-α and VEGF expression were tested with immunohistochemical assay.[Result] The content of TNF-α was decreased in PC6 group,Drug group and LI11 group.The method of pre-injection of XiangDan injection into PC6 was more effective than Drug group and LI11 group in protecting the myocardium tissue from ischemia and anoxia.The content of VEGF in model group was higher than that of normal group.The content of VEGF was also increased significantly in drug group and LI11 group.Compared with PC6 group statistical significance was obvious.[Conclusions] The method of XiangDan pre-injection into PC6 acupoint can protect the myocardium from ischemia and anoxia.It can decrease the level of TNF-α and increase the contents of VEGF. |
