Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of sinomenine on T-helper cell type 1-mediated experimental colitis in-duced by 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) in mice. Methods:Balb/c mice were divided into five groups:ethanol control group, TNBS model group, and sinomenine treatment groups (50, 100 and 200 mg·kg-1 ) with 10 ones in each. Colitis was induced by colonic instillation of TNBS dissolved in 0. 1 ml of 50% ethanol. Seven days after the colonic instillation of TNBS, sinomenine was given by gastric gavage once daily for 21 days. The mice were sacrificed on the 28th day, the injury degree of colonic mucosa was ob-served, the colon myeloperoxidase ( MPO) activity was determined, and the levels of inflammatory cytokines ( TNF-α, IL-17 and IL-23) were determined by ELISA. Results:Compared with those in TNBS model group, the body mass, gross injury score and histologi-cal findings in sinomenine groups at medium dose and high dose were significantly improved (P<0. 05), the activity of MPO signifi-cantly decreased (P<0. 05), and the protein levels of TNF-α, IL-17 and IL-23 in colonic mucosa were lower than those in TNBS group (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Sinomenine has notable therapeutic effect on TNBS-induced chronic colitis in mice, and the mecha-nism is related to the inhibition of Th1 cytokines by sinomenine.

Objective To investigate the effect of platelet-derived growth factor-D (PDGF-D) on the prostate cancer cells migration and its possible mechanism. Methods The expressions of PDGF-D in LNCaP and PC-3 cells were detected with western blot.PDGF-D siRNA was synthesized according to mRNA sequence of PDGF-D gene and was transfected into PC-3 cell.The cells were treated with PDGF-D and PDGF-D siRNA,the cell migration was examined by Boyden chamber migration assay.The expression changes of VEGF and MMP-9 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Results The results of western blot indicated that the PDGF-D protein expression level was lower in LNCaP cells (29.47 ± 1.68) than that in PC-3 cells (63.43 ±2.10),(P < 0.05).PDGF-D siRNA could down-regulate the PDGF-D protein expression in the transfected group (35.19 ± 1.51).The exogenous PDGF-D could promote migration of LNCaP and PC-3cells,and up-regulate the expression of VEGF,MMP-9 mRNA in PC-3 cells (P < 0.05,compared with control group).PDGF-D siRNA inhibited PC-3 cells' migration and decreased the level of VEGF,MMP-9mRNA expression (0.72 ± 0.09 vs 0.43 ± 0.18,0.65 ±0.07 vs 0.22 ± 0.08) (P < 0.05). Conclusion PDGF-D is involved in the promotion of prostate cancer invasion and angiogenesis.

Objective To explore the effect of Activating Blood to Resolve Stagnation on the expression of CD34 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in rats with acute myocardial infarction. Methods 32 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (A, n=8), model group (B, n=8), Xuesaitong Injection + granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (G- CSF) group (C, n=8) and G-CSF group (D, n=8). Corresponding medicine was given to each group 3 hours after modeling, for 6 days. Pathomorphological changes were observed through HE staining, and the expression of CD34, VEGF and Ki-67 were observed through immunohistochemical staining. Results The expressions of CD34, VEGF and Ki-67 were higher in groups B, C and D than in group A (P<0.05), and were higher in group groups C and D than in group B (P<0.05). The expressions of CD34 and VEGF were higher in group C than in group D (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the expression of Ki-67 between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The expression of CD34 and VEGF increases with Activating Blood to Resolve Stagnation method, which is superior to using G-CSF only. Activating Blood to Resolve Stagnation may play an important role in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction.

Objective:To observe the effect of Chaibei Zhixian decoction and peimine on Carbamazepine (CBZ) concentration, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multi drug resistance 1(MDR1) expression in the brain tissues of rats with refractory epilepsy, and to understand the contribution of Peimine in the compound prescription to treat the refractory epilepsy. Method:Epilepsy rat models were established by injecting kainic acid (KA) in the lateral ventricle. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, CBZ group(0.12 g·kg-1),Chaibei Zhixian decoction+CBZ group(8.39 g·kg-1+0.12 g·kg-1), peimine+CBZ group(0.01 g·kg-1+0.12 g·kg-1) and sham operation group. After 60 days of intervention, the expression levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and MDR1b mRNA in the brain cortex were detected by Western blot and quantitative real\|time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR),the contents of CBZ and 10,11-epoxidation of carbamazepine (CBZE) were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Result:Compared with sham group, the expression of P-gp/MDR1 in the cortex of model group was significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01).Compared with model group, the P-gp/MDR1 level in CBZ group was increased.The expression of P-gp/MDR1 in the cortex of Chaibei Zhixian decoction+CBZ group and peimine+CBZ group was reduced. Compared with CBZ group, The expression of P-gp/MDR1 was significantly decreased in the cortex of Chaibei Zhixian decoction+CBZ group and peimine+CBZ group (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the content of CBZ and CBZE in the brain of peimine+CBZ group was significantly increased (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the content of CBZE in the brain of the Chaibei Zhixian decoction+CBZ group was significantly increased (P<0.05).Compared with the Chaibei Zhixian decoction+CBZ group,the content of CBZ and CBZE in the brain of the peimine+CBZ group was increased in rats, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion:Chaibei Zhixian decoction and peimine may increase the content of CBZ and CBZE in the brain tissues in rats with intractable epilepsy by reducing the expression of MDR1/P-gp in the cortex.
