Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2016;28(4):388-392
Objective To analyze the enzyme kinetics of active ingredient of Buddleja lindleyana(AIBL)against Oncomela?nia hupensis,the intermediate host of Schistosoma japonicum. Methods O. hupensis snails were placed in 1 000 ml of 3.55 mg/L AIBL solution for 24,48 h and 72 h,respectively,and the enzyme kinetics of alanine aminotransferase(GPT)was deter?mined by Reitman?Frankel assay,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)by the chemical inhibition lactic acid substrate method,alka?line phosphatase(AKP)by the disodium phenyl phosphate colorimetric method,acetylcholine esterase(AChE)and malate de?hydrogenas(MDH)by ELISA,and succinate dehydrogenase(SDH)by the phenazine methyl sulfate reaction method(PMS)in the soft tissues of O. hupensis before and after AIBL treatment. Results Following exposure to 3.55 mg/L AIBL solution for 24 h, the GPT,LDH,and AKP activities significantly improved in the soft tissues of O. hupensis,while the SDH and MDH activities were significantly lowered in the head?foot and liver. However,AIBL treatment did not cause significant effect on AChE activity in O. hupensis. Conclusions AIBL causes significant damages to O. hupensis liver and can efficiently act on anaerobic and aer?obic respiration loci,which will hinder energy metabolism,and cause inadequate energy supply in cells used for normal secre?tion,eventually leading to O. hupensis death.
2.Optimization of fermentation conditions of molluscicidal endophyte LL3026 from Buddleia lindleyana
Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2014;(3):352-354
Objective To optimize the fermentation conditions of molluscicidal endophyte LL3026 from Buddleia lindleyana. Method The medium composition and cultivation conditions were optimized by orthogonal and single factor experiments. Re-sults The experiments showed that the conditions of initial pH 3,fermentation temperature 30℃,volume of liquid 100 ml(250 ml Erlenmeyer flask),and 3D-xylitol 0.5 g/L were optimum,and the molluscicidal activity of the fermentation filtrate reached 95%. After three hatches of cultivation,the predicted values were verified by validation experiments. Conclusion Endophyte LL3026 from Buddleia lindleyana has a good molluscicidal activity after the optimization.

AIM:Xilei Powder,a traditional Chinese prescription,has been used to treat wounds for hundreds of years,but the mechanism has not been fully understood.METHODS:The effects of Xilei Powder on fibroblast proliferation,collagen accumulation,matrix metalloproteinases-2,9 ( MMP-2,9 ) activities and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP-1) production were investigated by MTT,chloramine T method,gelatin zymography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays ( ELISA),respectively.RESULTS: The aqueous extract of Xilei Powder significantly promoted fibroblasts proliferation in a time and concentration manner,the population doubling time (125 μg/mL) was 33.8 h,it also significantly (P <0.05 ) promoted collagen production.Both of the aqueous and alcoholic extracts could significantly ( P < 0.05 ) increase MMPo2 activity,and also very significantly ( P < 0.01 )promote TIMP-1 production.CONCLUSION: Xilei Powder could promote fibroblasts proliferation,collagen and TIMP-1 production,this might be parts of mechanism to promote wound healing.

To explore the influence of calculus bovis on the function of primary cultured mice oral fibroblasts, we determined the effects of calculus bovis on the fibroblast proliferation, collagen production, matrix metalloproteinases-2, -9 activities and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 production by MTT assay, chloramine T method, gelatin zymography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays respectively. The results showed that calculus bovis could significantly inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis in a concentration dependent manner, could significantly (P<0.05) suppress matrix metalloproteinases-2 activity and very significantly (P<0.01) inhibit the production of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1. In conclusion, the major function of calculus bovis in the process of ulcer healing is not to promote tissue regeneration, the mechanism that calculus bovis inhibits collagen synthesis may be partly due to its ability to very significantly (P<0.01) suppress the production of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1.

Due to the extensive use of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) as functional food ingredients,many inferior goods and even adulterants are generally found in the market,which may pose a health hazard to certain populations.Chromatography method such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is traditionally applied for the quality analysis of XOS.However,it is time consuming due to the prolonged separation and pre-or post-derivatization procedure.In this study,a fast saccharide mapping method based on matrix-assisted laser desorption/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was developed for the quality consistency analysis of 22 batches of XOS collected from different manufacturers in China.The time needed for saccharides analysis using MALDI-MS was less than 30 min for one plate,at least 6 times faster than that by the traditional HPTLC chromatography method.In addition,MALDI-MS possessed higher resolution for XOS with DP4-DP7 based on the difference of m/z,which is hardly separated using HPTLC.The results showed that XOS were present only in samples XY01-XY11,samples XY12-XY14 only consisted of hex oligo-saccharides,and samples XY15-XY22 were free of oligosaccharides.These indicate that the quality consistency of XOS products in the China market was poor,which should be carefully investigated.
