Effect of Yanshiqiangxin Decoction on Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis in Heart Failure Rats Based on PI3K/Akt/Caspase-9 Signaling Pathway by ZHU Sixing, YAN Shiyun, XU Yan, QIN Yan, CHEN Liyun, JIA Meijun

“…One day after the last gavage, M-mode echocardiography [left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular short-axis shortening (LVFS), left ventricular internal dimension diastole (LVIDd) and left ventricular internal dimension systole (LVIDs)] was performed through an ultra-high resolution small animal ultrasound imaging system; B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) was measured by ELISA method; the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was observed through laser confocal microscopy and the apoptosis index was calculated; the expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bax, Bcl-2 and PI3K/Akt/Caspase-9 signalling pathway proteins were detected by Western blot method.Results① Cardiac ultrasound test results: compared with the normal group, the left ventricular anterior wall motion waveform of the model group was not obvious, close to linear motion, and LVEF and LVFS decreased significantly (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), LVIDd and LVIDs increased significantly (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05), the left ventricle was significantly enlarged and the contractility was reduced. …”
