5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a powerful constrictor of coronary arteries and is considered to be involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of coronary-artery spasm.However, the mechanism of enhancement of coronary-artery constriction to 5-HT during the development of coronary artery disease remains to be elucidated.Organ culture of intact blood-vessel segments has been suggested as a model for the phenotypic changes of smooth muscle cells in cardiovascular disease.Methodology/Principal Findings: We wished to characterize 5-HT receptor-induced vasoconstriction and quantify expression of 5-HT receptor signaling in cultured rat coronary arteries.Cumulative application of 5-HT produced a concentration-dependent vasoconstriction in fresh and 24 h-cultured rat coronary arteries without endothelia.5-HT induced greater constriction in cultured coronary arteries than in fresh coronary arteries.U46619-and CaCl2-induced constriction in the two groups was comparable.5-HT stimulates the 5-HT2A receptor and cascade of phospholipase C to induce coronary vasoconstriction.Calcium influx through L-type calcium channels and non-L-type calcium channels contributed to the coronary-artery constrictions induced by 5-HT.The contractions mediated by non-L-type calcium channels were significantly enhanced in cultured coronary arteries compared with fresh coronary arteries.The vasoconstriction induced by thapsigargin was also augmented in cultured coronary arteries.The decrease in Orai1 expression significantly inhibited 5-HT-evoked entry of Ca2+ in coronary artery cells.Expression of the 5-HT2A receptor, Orai1 and STIM1 were augmented in cultured coronary arteries compared with fresh coronary arteries.Conclusions: An increased contraction in response to 5-HT was mediated by the upregulation of 5-HT2A receptors and downstream signaling in cultured coronary arteries.

动脉粥样硬化(atherosclerosis,AS)是严重威胁人类健康的慢性疾病,其严重程度主要取决于斑块的稳定性.已有大量研究认为炎症反应贯穿于动脉粥样硬化斑块形成、发展全过程,是导致易损斑块破裂的主要原因.sCD40L-CD40/CD40L系统是免疫和炎症反应的枢纽,参与斑块内主要炎症细胞反应的调节,可介导复杂的炎症反应,对斑块的稳定性有着重要作用.易损斑块与中医热毒血瘀病机密切相关,清热解毒

冠心病的病因是阳虚阴虚，或阴阳两虚，病机是痰和瘀，所以，补阳，补阴或阴阳双补是治本。散瘀和去痰则治其标。标本兼治其愈之自然。然而，历代医书都曾说，痹证无补法，补之则碍去邪，甚或助纣为虐，但虚则补之这是万宗不变的真理，临证灵活运用则是每个医者智慧的表现。而且现代医学认为黄芪与丹参山楂搭配，对冠心病起很好的除痹止痛作用，所以在临床都加上以上三味药，效果都不错。并且在用以上味药时，同时进补其他药也没感到
目的:观察头针配合体针治疗脑栓塞后遗症的临床疗效.方法:将60例患者随机分为2组各30例.对照组按传统体针治疗;中药补阳还五汤加减.观察组在对照组常规治疗的基础上加用焦氏头针给予综合治疗,2组均每周治疗3次,12次为一疗程.休息一周,再续第二疗程,连续3疗程.观察疗效.结果:观察组痊愈5例、显效19例、有效3例、无效3例.总有效率90％,明显高于治疗组73.3％结论:头针配合体针可更有效恢复脑栓塞
糖尿病合并冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病(简称糖心病)是糖尿病性心脏病中的一种,因病情复杂且预后凶险,故临床治疗较为棘手,常需中西医结合治疗才能取得较好疗效.本人采用西药加中草药颗粒剂成功治愈糖尿病性冠心病合并心包积液1例,本例患者心包积液，中医属心水”范畴，是在糖心病本虚标实，即气血亏虚、痰湿瘀毒壅滞的病机基础上，多因水肿、虚劳日久、正气虚弱、浊邪不能及时排出而蕴结体内，水湿壅滞三焦，气机不利，内迫心

一般静脉曲张，是由于气虚，复感寒邪而引起。血行于脉中，依赖于气的推动，气充足则推动血液在脉中运行畅通。反之气虚则涩滞不通，加之复感寒邪侵袭。又因气血得温易行，得寒则凝滞不畅。故素体脾胃气虚，寒邪侵袭经脉，气血凝滞，易发本病。火针具有温通，祛寒除湿，清热解毒，生肌敛疮等效果。所以，针在局部起到整体调整．治疗甚佳。运用火针速刺法治疗下肢静脉曲张．疗效好，疗效可靠，见效快，容易掌握．要注意掌握：热度，速
