Objective To explore the effect of xue-shuan-tong(panax notoginsang saponins,PNS)or isovalaemic haemodilution(IHD)and PNS combining IHD treatment on activities of fibrinolysis and hemorrheology in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Methods Seventy-three patients with RVO were allocated at random to 3 groups which were treated with PNS,IHD and PNS combining IHD.The activities of t-PA and PAI,rheological parameters and visual acuity before and after treatment were observed. Results At the end of treatment,significantly increased activity of t-PA and decrease of PAI was found in combined treatment group and PNS group,but the difference before and after treatment was not significant in IHD group.Furthermore,except the plasma viscosity in IHD group,the other hemorrheological parameters in all the petients of 3 groups revealed to be improving.One month after treatment,the parameters return completely to normal in both PNS and IHD groups; while the whole blood apparent relative viscosity in low shear rate,RBC aggregation and RBC deformability maintained still in lower level,and also the visual acuity resumed better and quicker in combined group. Conclusion Combined treatment of PNS and IHD can both regulate the activity of fibrinolysis and decrease the blood viscosity of patients with RVO for a period of relatively long time and increase the effect of treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To study the hemorheology of island flap after ischemia-reperfusion injury and modulation of dexamethasone. METHODS: Sixty Wister rats were made ischemia-reperfusion injury model, and divided into two groups randomly(Group I: intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 2 ml/kg as control group; Group II: intraperitoneal injection of dexamethasone 5 mg/kg as experimental group). Flap survived areas were measured and neutrophil necrosis numbers in flaps were counted. Erythrocytes and neutrophil hemorheology were observed. RESULTS: Area survived flap in group II was larger than that in group I. Neutrophil necrosis numbers were less in group II than in group I (P lt; 0.05). Whole blood hyposhear viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation, Casson yield stress and nerutrophil adhesion ability were higher in group I than in group II (P lt; 0.05); and the neutrophil deformability was lower in group I than in group II. CONCLUSION: Flap inchemia-reperfusion can increase erythrocyte aggregation index and neutrophil adhesion ability. Dexamethasone can improve these and decrease neutrophil necrosis numbers, so as to prevent flap from ischemia-reperfusion injury.
The experiment was earied out on the a boomen of the whiterats. The epigastric vein wasarterialized by means of anastomcois with the femoral artery, lateral thoracic vein was reserved as aefferent vessel. The changes of hemorheology were mesured after arterialization, and were comparedwith the changes in the normal A-V skin flaps. The levels of platelet, aggreation, blood viscosityand plasma fibrinogen in arterialized vein flape were signmeantly higher than that in A-V flaps. ASa r...
Objective To explore the difference between the hemorheology levels and the expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1α/2α (HIF-1α/2α) in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the Tibetan and Han patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods This research recruited 30 high-risk Tibetan and Han patients with OSAHS, and 30 Tibetan and Han healthy volunteers at the same period. The whole blood viscometer was used to detect the high shear rate of whole blood viscosity, low shear rate of whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity ratio, red blood cell aggregation index, and hematocrit in each group. RT-qPCR and Western blot assays were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), serine/threonine kinase (AKT), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, HIF-1α and HIF-2α in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results The hemorheology level of Tibetan OSAHS patients was significantly higher than that of healthy Tibetans and Han OSAHS patients (P<0.05), and the hemorheology level of Han OSAHS patients was significantly higher than that of Han healthy people (P<0.05) . The mRNA and protein levels of PI3K, AKT, NF-κB p65 and HIF-1α in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of Tibetan OSAHS patients were significantly higher than those of the healthy Tibetans or Han people, and these indexes of the Han OSAHS patients were significantly higher than those of the Han healthy people (all P<0.05), while HIF-2α mRNA and protein levels were significantly lower than those of healthy Han people (all P<0.05). Conclusion The upregulation of HIF-1α level and downregulation of HIF-2α expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of OSAHS patients depend on the activation of the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway, and the hemorheological level of Tibetan OSAHS patients is higher than that of Han OSAHS patients.
Hyperuricemia is a risk factor for various diseases, but knowledge on acute hyperuricemia is still not sufficient. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of acute hyperuricemia on red blood cells from hemorheological point of view, and to provide the reference for clinical treatment. The rats were gavaged with 500 mg/kg hypoxanthine and intraperitoneally injected with 100 mg/kg oxonate to induce the model of acute hyperuricemia. The same volume of blood samples were drawn within time period of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 6 h, respectively, from the inner canthus of rats to measure the serum uric acid, hemorheological parameters and the malondialdehyde level. It was found that in each period of 1, 2 and 3 h, the rats had significantly higher levels of uric acid. The integrated deformation index and relax index were increased. The hemolysis rate was significantly reduced. The plasma malondialdehyde level was obviously decreased at the end of 2 h. The results suggested that short-term elevated uric acid could improve the hemorheological parameters and the lipid oxidative level in red blood cells.
Using paired t-test statistical analysis,authors studied the features of hemorrheology in 13 cases of anterior uveitis,16 cases of pan-uveitis,and 15 cases of Behccedil;et' syndrome.The study showed that serous viscocity(at 230 s-1)in anterior uveitis patient group was higher than that of the control group,P＜0.02; that blood viscocity at high shear rate(230 s-1)in pan-uneitis patient group was markedly elevated and the difference between patient and control group was sighificant,P＜0.005; and that blood viscocity at both high(230 s-1)and low shear rate(5.75 s-1)in Behcet' syndrome grou was elevated,and the differences were significant as compared to the controls(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).the high blood viscocity in uveitis and Behcet' syndrome patients was analyzed and discussed in the paper.We thought that the treatment for uveitis and Behcet' syndrome should include lowering blood viscocity and improving the plasticity of red blood cells. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1993,9:70-72）
Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effects of modified uhrafihration （MUF）on blood rheology in infants after open cardiac surgery. Methods According to admission number, 22 infants of body weight less than 10 kilograms with ventricular septal defect （VSD） and pulmonary hypertension （PH） were divided into control group （10 infants, the mantissa of their admission number was odd number） and experimental group （12 infants, the mantissa of their admission number was even number）. Cases in control group didn＇t undergo MUF at the end of cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB）, while cases in experimental group underwent MUF; the flow rate of MUF ranged from 10 ml/min · kg to 15 ml/min · kg. MUF lasting for 10-15 minutes. Blood samples were repeatedly collected as following time： before operation, at the end of CPB, 15 minutes after CPB or the end of MUF, 2, 24 h after operation. Blood sample of 2. 5 ml was collected from the radial artery with hepathrom test-tube. The changes of relative indexes of the blood rheology were observed by MDK-3200 completely automatic dual pathways blood rheology testing analysator at 37±1 C. Results Hemoglobin, hematocrit, red cell count, blood yielding stress, plasma viscosity, the whole blood viscosity at high shear rate, the whole blood viscosity at middle shear rate and low shear rate, the whole blood reduction viscosity at high shear rate and middle shear rate, the whole blood reduction viscosity at low shear rate and Casson viscosity in experimental group at the end of MUF were significantly higher than those in control group at 15 minutes after CPB （P〈0. 05）. There was no significant difference in red cell aggregation index and red cell deformity between two groups at each moment （P 〉 0.05 ）. Conclusion Hemoglobin, hematocrit and red cell count are significantly elevated through MUF after CPB. Whole blood viscosity in infants undergone open cardiac surgery after CPB with MUF is higher than those who didn＇t undergo MUF.
