Acute myocardial infarction(AMI) threatens human’s health seriously, its incidence and mortality increased year by year.The prevention and treatment are the most arduous task for medical staff and has become one of the most important public health problem in the face. At present, the main interventions of AMI are treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), drug thrombolysis and coronary artery bypass graft(CABG) surgery which rapidly opening the infarct-related coronary artery and thus reperfusion. However, we found in clinical practice that at the time of acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion(MI/R), these treatments are accompanied by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury which influence the therapeutic effect, while there may have serious adverse consequences, so the treatment strategies that reduce I/R injury are urgently needed. Effectively reduce I/R injury, preconditioning with drugs and drug intervention after reperfusion is the hotspot of cardiovascular research circles at home and abroad.Experts and scholars had invested a lot of energy to research which with little success, so whether our traditional Chinese medical which based on "righting" theory can play a more active role in inhibiting cell apoptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI). Salvianolic acid B(Sal-B) is a water soluble effective components of Salviamilti-orrhizaBge and has phenolic acid compounds and the strongest pharmacological activities in Salviamilti-orrhizaBge material composition.In recently years, Experiment research Sal-B can reduce the toxicity of oxygen free radicals in myocardial cells and inflammation. With protecting mitochondrial function, Sal-B maybe reduce or inhibit MIRI. At present, the mechanism of Sal-B on myocardial protection still has a lot of blind spots and need to be explored constantly.MIRI is outcome of multiple factors. Following the deep research in MIRI, it is found that PI3K-Akt signaling pathways play a important role in the process of MIRI, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway may play an important role with actively raise protection mechanisms in cells than other passive way. This topic observed effects of Sal-B on MI/R with many angles and different levels. At the molecular level to observe Sal-B on myocardial enzymology, oxygen free radical and so on. Observe effect on cardiac myocyte apoptosis at a cellular level. And from the level of organs to observe the influence of the heart whole, at the same time in functional genomics research Sal-B of apoptosis gene and genome level of protein expression. This study discusses the following aspects by experimental data. Sal-B has heart mitochondrial function on ischemia-reperfusion and the effect of myocardial cell apoptosis and inhibition of myocardial cell apoptosis through PI3K-Akt signaling pathways. The PI3K-Akt signaling pathway is possible targets of Sal-B. The mechanism of action of the drug may be expounded with cytokine signaling pathways. Traditional Chinese medicine maybe provide theoretical basis and new ideas for treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Part1The mechanism and effects of Sal-B on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in ratsObjective:Establishment of myocardial I/R injury models in rats, observe the effect of Sal-B on cardium of myocardial enzymology and myocardial infarction area in MI/R.
