Effect of Shengmai injection on cell apoptosis in rat myocardium after burn
Objective To investigate the effect of Shengmai injection on cell apoptosis in rat myocardium after burn. Methods Totally 60 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were subject to 30% TBSA full thickenss scald and were randomly divided into two groups: scald group (sodium lactate ringer’s injection was injected after scald according to the formula of Parkland) and Shengmai group (Shengmai injection was applied immediately at dose of 4 ml/kg
and sodium lactate ringer’s injection was reduced correspondingly). Another 12 rats served as control for each group. Left ventricle tissue was prep
ared before scald and at 1
3
6
12
24 h after scald for pathologic examination. The cell apoptosis was determined by terminal deoxynucleotibyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) and detecting caspase-3 activity. Results The damage of rat myocardium in Shengmai group was lessened than scald group. The positive staining by TUNEL in rat myocardial cells of the two groups was observed at 6th hour after scald and reached the top level at 12
th
hour. The change of caspase-3 activity started earlier than apoptosis and reached the peak value at 3
rd
and 6
th
hour after scald. However
the apoptosis index of myocardium in Shengmai group was more significantly decreased than that of scald group at 6
th
12
th
and 24
th
hour (P0.01)
so did the change of caspase-3 activity at 3
rd
6
th
and 12
th
hour after scald (P0.05). Conclusion The myocardial apoptosis took part in postburn myocardial injury. The postburn myocardial injury could be lessened effectively by early apply of Shengmai injection.
