The present invention belongs to the technical field of preventing and treating coronary myocardial injury and discloses a
drug for preventing and treating the myocardial injury caused by coronary microembolism and an
animal model thereof; SD rats are used and 42 [mu]m microemboli are used to prepare the coronary microembolism CME
animal model; after selecting CME, 3 h, 6 h, 9 h, 12 h and 24 h areused as
observation time points, observation groups at each time points are divided into a sham operation group and a CME group, and expression levels and cardiac function changes of TLR4 at the eachtime point are detected to find out peak time of activity of the TLR4; according to the peak time point of the activity of the TLR4, then the sham operation group, the CME group, a CME+
nicorandil group and a CME+TLR4 inhibitor group. The
animal model determines dynamic changes of TLR4-mediated
cell signal transduction pathways of "TLR4 / MyD88 / NF-kappa-B / TNF-alpha" after the CME occurrence and determines whether
nicorandil blocks the "TLR4 / MyD88 / NF-kappa-B / TNF-alpha signaling pathways to protect against myocardial damages caused by the CME.
