    Objective To investigate the effect of fisetin on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in isolated rats and its mechanism. Methods The myocardial I/R injury model was established through Langendorff system. A total of 32 SPF grade SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8): normal control group, model control group, low dose fisetin group (0.5 μmol·L-1) and high dose fisetin group (5 μmol·L-1). The myocardial function was measured by TTC staining. The content of CK-MB was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The levels of SOD, MDA, GSH, GSSG, TNF-α and IL-6 in the myocardium were measured by ELISA. The changes of myocardial tissue were observed by HE staining. The degree of apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining. Results Compared with the normal control group, the cardiac function parameters of the model control group were decreased significantly, serious infarction and necrosis developed in myocardium, and the leaking amount of CK-MB was significantly increased. The contents of MDA, GSSG, IL-6 and TNF-α in myocardium were significantly increased, and the activities of SOD and GSH significantly decreased. Severe apoptosis appeared in the cardiomyocytes of the model control group. Compared with the model control group, the pretreatment of fisetin could significantly reverse the changes of myocardial injury induced by I/R, and the protective effect of high dose of fisetin was more obvious. Conclusion Fisetin can significantly alleviate I/R-induced myocardial injury and exerts a dose-dependent effect. The protective effect of fisetin may be related to its anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects.

    Objective To investigate the serum trough concentration and pharmacokinetics of vancomycin in patients with severe sepsis. Methods Trough concentrations of vancomycin from 128 patients with severe sepsis were collected. All eligible patients were divided into lung infection group(n=45), abdominal infection group(n=37), bloodstream infection group(n=33) and mixed infection group(n=13) according to the different infection site. According to the age, patients were divided into elderly group(n=54) and adult group(n=74). The trough concentration of vancomycin was measured by fluorescence polarization immunoassay. The pharmacokinetic parameters of vancomycin were calculated by Bayesian feedback method. Results The trough concentrations of vancomycin varied from 1.7 to 36.8 mg·L-1. Only 46.9%of the samples could reach 10-20 mg·L-1. The standard-reaching rate in adult group was 43.2%, that of elderly group was 51.9%. The mean vancomycin trough concentration of the elderly was higher than that of the adults. Regression analysis indicated that vancomycin trough concentrations had a good correlation with age, creatinine clearance, acute physiology and chronic health score. The Vd of vancomycin was (1.00±0.12) L·kg-1, and the CL was (78.80±44.51) mL·min-1, significantly increased (P<0.01). The Vd increased significantly, which is compared with the mean Vd of vancomycin, and the CL of the adult group was significantly higher than that of the elderly group. Conclusion The stand reaching rate of vancomycin serum trough concentration is low in patients with severe sepsis. Both the trough concentration and pharmacokinetic parameters had significant individual differences. The age, CL and APACHEⅡ of the patients obviously influenced the trough concentration.
