OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of combined therapy of shenmai and compound danshen injection (SM-DS) on myocardial reperfusion injury after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS:Thirty-eight AMI patients who received PCI were randomly divided into two groups, the 19 patients in the treated group were treated with SM-DS before and after PCI. Serum levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in patients' venous blood were measured at different time-points, and the integrated left ventricular ejection isometric index (Tei) was determined by echocardiogram. RESULTS: As compared with before operation in the treated group, MDA was higher and SOD was lower at 2 hrs, 24 hrs after operation (P < 0.05); IL-6 and TNF-alpha were significantly lower at 24 hrs, 48 hrs and 1 week (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) and the Tei began to be improved at 24 hrs (P < 0.05) and significantly improved at 1 week after operation (P < 0.01). While in the control group, MDA was higher and SOD was obviously lower at 2 hrs and 24 hrs (P < 0.01); lowering of IL-6 and TNF-alpha appeared at 1 week (P < 0.05) and improving of Tei index revealed 1 week after operation respectively (P < 0.05). Comparison between the two groups showed significant difference in levels of MDA and SOD at 2 hrs and 24 hrs (P < 0.01); significant difference in levels of IL-6, TNF-alpha at 24 hrs, 48 hrs and 1 week; and in Tei index at 24 hrs and 1 week after operation (P <0.05). CONCLUSION:SM-DS could reduce the myocardial reperfusion injury in patients with AMI after PCI.
