Objective To systematically review the effectiveness and model building process of heparin treatment for animal model with smoke inhalation injury. Methods Databases including PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were searched to collect animal experiments about the treatment of heparin for animal model with smoke inhalation injury from inception to November 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of nine studies involving 11 animal experiments were included. The results showed that building animal model with smoke inhalation injury were through burning of cotton towels or pine sawdust by sheep or rats below 40℃. The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in mortality rate between two groups (heparin group vs. control group: RR=0.38, 95%CI 0.14 to 1.05, P=0.06; heparin plus DMSO group vs. DMSO group: RR=0.10, 95%CI 0.01 to 1.51, P=0.10). In addition, the pulmonary artery pressure (MD=–3.31, 95%CI –4.51 to –2.11, P<0.000 01), wet to dry weight ratio (MD=–0.90, 95%CI –1.19 to –0.61, P<0.000 01), and lung water content (MD=–1.18, 95%CI –1.67 to –0.70, P<0.000 01) of the experimental group were lower than those in the control group. PaO2/FiO2 after 12 hours (MD=131.00, 95%CI 59.54 to 202.46, P=0.000 3), PaO2/FiO2 after 24 hours (MD=114.00, 95%CI 60.56 to 167.44, P<0.000 1), PaO2/FiO2 after 48 hours (MD=46.00, 95%CI 20.62 to 71.38, P=0.000 4) were higher than those in the control group. However, there was no significant difference in coagulation function between both groups. Conclusion The current evidence shows that the establishment of animal model of smoke inhalation injury is still lack of standard method. Heparin can decrease pulmonary artery pressure and lung water content in animal models with smoke inhalation injury. Due to the limited quality and quantity of included studies, the above conclusions are still needed to be verified by more high quality studies.
We cultured retinal g[ial cells(RGC)from immature rats and observed the migratory responses to fetal bovine serum(FBS).We found thai FItS stimulats the migration of RGC in a dose response manner. We also observed the inhibition of heparin on RGC cben,otaxis,and found that heparin(10U/ml)decreased significantly the RGC migration stimulated by serum(0%to 10%)(all Plt;0.0001).but 1U/ml of heparin bad no effect on RGC chemotaxis(P=0.5118).These results showed that FBS contains chemoattractants for RGC,and heparin can inhibit RGC chemotaxis stimulated by serum. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:170-173）

Objective To evaluate the flushing effects of normal saline (NS) and heparin saline (HPS) after central venous catheterization. Methods We searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 12, 2015), CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the flushing effects of NS versus HPS after central venous catheterization from inception to December 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then RevMan 5.3 software was used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 12 RCTs involving 2 092 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that no significant differences were found between the two groups in occlusion rate (OR=1.58, 95%CI 0.79 to 3.14,P=0.19) and the catheter days (OR=–7.24, 95%CI –22.90 to 8.41,P=0.36), while the HPS group had more advantage than the NS group in decreasing the incidence of phlebitis (OR=2.57, 95%CI 1.52 to 4.34,P=0.000 4). Subgroup analysis revealed that HPS provided more superiority over NS in lessening the occlusion rate (OR=1.85, 95%CI 1.22 to 2.80,P=0.004), no significant difference was found when comparing NS to 10 units, and 100 units HPS (10 units: OR=1.51, 95%CI 0.94 to 2.43,P=0.09; 100 units: OR=1.51, 95%CI 0.63 to 3.60,P=0.09). Conclusion HPS appears to be more beneficial than NS, larger rigorously studies are needed for better understanding on the effects of NS and HPS.
Objective To develop a new small-caliber vascular xenograft and evaluate the feasibility of xenogenic artery for coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods Canine carotid arteries were decellularized by detergent and enzymatic extraction. All decellularized xenografts were randomly divided into two groups. Heparin-linked group （n=24）： grafts were then covalently linked with heparin. Non-heparin-linked group （n=24）： as control. Xenografts in two groups were implanted in rabbits＇ left and right carotid artery respectively as bypass grafts. Graft patency was checked by ultrasonography after 3 weeks, 3 and 6 months. Grafts were harvested after 3 and 6 months. Microscopic observation and immunohistochemical staining were performed. Results All the cells were removed while the extracellular matrix were well preserved observed. Heparin was successfully linked to the grafts through their whole thickness. There was no obstruction at both sides after implantation of the grafts, while less thrombus was found in the decellularized heparin-linked grafts than in the other side. Smooth muscle cells densely populated the graft wall and endothelial cells covered the lumen at 3 months after implantation. Conclusion Canine common carotid artery treated by detergent and enzymatic extraction and heparin linkage may be a new small-caliber vascular xenograft for coronary artery bypass grafting.
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of therapeutic effect of heparin on wound healing of second-degree burned rats. METHODS: Deep second-degree burns with 20% of total body surface were made in 20 rats, which were randomly divided into 2 groups. The experimental group was treated subcutaneously injection with 1 ml of heparin 100 U/kg and saline solution, and the control group was treated with 1 ml of saline solution, once a day until complete healing of the burned wound. The healing time were compared, the growth of granulation tissue and collagen fibers were evaluated under light microscope, and the growth of fibroblasts were observed under electronic microscope. RESULTS: All rats survived, the healing time of experimental group (22.8 +/- 1.87 days) were much shorter than that of control group (26.2 +/- 2.82 days) (P lt; 0.005). Light microscope observation showed that the growth of granulation tissue and collagen fibers of experimental group were much better than that of control group, and electronic microscope also showed that the fibroblast growth was obviously better in the experimental group. CONCLUSION: Subcutaneous injection of heparin can promote wound healing.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of early use of heparin for thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). MethodsThe Chinese databases involving VIP, CNKI, WanFang Data, CBM and foreign language databases including PubMed and The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2013) were electronically searched from inception to January 2013. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on early use of heparin in the treatment of AMI were included. Two reviewers assessed the quality of each trial and extracted data independently according to the Cochrane Handbook. RevMan5.2 software was used for statistical analysis. ResultsA total of 23 RCTs involving 2 697 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the heparin group was superior to the control group in increasing of the rate of coronary artery recanalization, decreasing the time of recanalization, reducing the rate of re-infarction and the death rate, and decreasing the time of ST-T fell for 50%, the time of enzyme peak showed and the time of chest pain relief. There had no significant difference observed in the incidence of adverse reaction between the two groups. ConclusionIt is effective to use heparin before thrombolytic therapy in AMI.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of heparin binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) on liver regeneration after partial orthotopic liver transplantation. MethodsFourty SD rats were used to establish the model of partial orthotopic liver transplantation with ameliorated two-cuff technique. Then all the rats were divided into 2 groups: experiment group and control group. Twenty rats of experiment group were administered 500 μg/kg HBEGF via vena caudalis immediately after operation twice a day, while the same volume of saline was administered to the rats in control group. Five rats in each group were selected randomly and killed at the 6th hour, day 2, 4 and 7 after operation, respectively. The serum levels of albumin (Alb) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in the blood sample were detected. Every liver was removed and weighed. The expression of Ki67 was detected by using immunohistochemistry assay. The regeneration activity of hepatocytes was evaluated by flow cytometry. ResultsThe wet weights of liver in experiment group were all significantly higher than that in control group at the 6th hour, day 2 and 4 after transplantation (P＜0.05). The serum levels of ALT were significantly lower in experiment group than those in control group at the 6th hour, day 2， 4, 7 after operation (P＜0.05), while the levels of Alb were significantly higher on day 4 and 7. The proliferating index and Ki-67 labeling index of graft in experiment group were higher than those in control group on day 2 and 4 after transplantation （2 d: P＜0.01; 4 d: P＜0.05）. ConclusionHBEGF could promote the regeneration of rat hepatocytes after partial liver transplantation.
Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of vitrectomy combined with tissue plasminogen activator(r-tPA) and fraxiparine on bacterial endophthalmitis. Methods Forty pigmented rabbits were randomly divided into experimental and control group with 20 rabbits in each. The left eyes underwent intra-vitreous injection with 10 5/ml bacteria of staphylococcus epidermidis 0.1 ml. After 8-4 hours, vitrectomy was performed on all of the animals. Fraxiparine with the final concentration of 6 IU/ml was only added to balanced salt solution in the experimental group during the operation, and the extend of intraocular fibrin exudation was observed by slit lamp and indirect ophthalmoscope after the operation. If the exudation occurred on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 21st day postoperatively, 125 mg/ml r-tPA 0.1 ml should be injected into vitreous from the 1st day after operation on. Results Fibrin exudation in the pupil area and vitreous body was much less in experimental group than that in the control group after the surgery. Conclusion vitrectomy combined with r-tPA and fraxiparine may alleviate the extent of fibrosis in bacterial endophthalmitis and improve the prognosis. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2005, 21: 391-393)
Objective To compare the effects of heparin versus urokinase injection intrapleurally in the management of pleural thickening and adhesion due to tuberculous exudative pleurisy. Methods Sixty patients with tuberculous pleurisy were allocated into three groups randomly. Sodium heparin ( heparin group) , urokinase ( urokinase group) , and 0. 9% saline ( control group) were intrapleurally injected respectively. The concentrations of fibrinogen and D-dimer in pleural effusion were measured before and after the injection. The duration of absorption and the total drainage volume of pleural effusion were recorded. The pleural thickness and adhesion were observed two months after the injection. Results In 72 hours after the intrapleural injection, the concentration of fibrinogen( g/L) in the pleural effusion was significantly increased in the heparin group( 1. 13 ±0. 44 vs 0. 34 ±0. 19, P lt; 0. 001) , and significantly decreased in the urokinase group( 0. 25 ±0. 16 vs 0. 38 ±0. 15, P lt; 0. 05) when compared with baseline. Concentrations of D-dimer in the pleural effusions were significantly higher than those at baseline in both the heparin group and the urokinase group( 57. 0 ±17. 6 vs 40. 0 ±15. 4, P lt; 0. 05; 74. 5 ±16. 4 vs 43. 8 ±14. 9, P lt; 0. 001) . There were no significant differences in the absorption duration of pleural effusion among the three groups( P gt;0. 05) . The total drainage volume of pleural effusion was higher in the heparin group and the urokinase group compared to the control group( P lt;0. 01) . And the total volume of pleural effusion was significantly higher in the heparin group and the urokinase group than that in the control group( 2863 mL and 2465 mL vs 1828 mL,P lt;0. 01) . Two months after the intervention, the pleura were thinner[ ( 1. 37 ±0. 82) mm and ( 1. 33 ±0. 85) mmvs ( 3. 06 ±1. 20) mm, P lt; 0. 01] and the incidence of pleural adhesion was significantly lower[ 15% and 20% vs 50% , P lt; 0. 05] in the heparin and the urokinase groups than those in the control group.Conclusion Intrapleural heparin has similar effects with urokinase for prevention pleural thickness andadhesion in tuberculous pleurisy with good availability and safety.
