Objective: To establish an optimal extraction process of the total glycoalkaloids in Solanum tuberosum L. and then study the anti-inflammatory activity. Methods:The extraction process of the total glycoalkaloids was optimized by orthogonal design. Compared with that of the total glycoalkaloids in Rhizoma Dioscoreae Melanophymatis and fresh potato pieces, the anti-inflammatory ac-tivity of the total glycoalkaloids in Solanum tuberosum L. was evaluated by mouse ear swelling model induced by xylene, rat paw swell-ing model induced by carrageenan, granuloma model caused by cotton and blood capillary permeability experiments. Results:The opti-mal extraction conditions were as follows:the extraction temperature was 65℃, 10-fold amount of methanol was used for twice extrac-tion with 45 min per time. The total glycoalkaloids from the optimal extraction had obvious anti-inflammatory activity,and the effect was related to the content ofα-chaconine. Conclusion:The results show that the order of different factors affecting the extraction rate is ex-traction temperature> extraction time, and the total glycoalkaloids in Solanum tuberosum L. has good anti-inflammatory effects in mice and rats.

Antithrombin III (AT III) is the most important anti-clotting substance. Recombinant human antithrombin III (rhAT III) expressed in transgenic goat milk attracts more and more attention. Develop an effective purification route for rhAT III is vital to its industrial production. An efficient purification method was developed for the rapid purification of rhAT III by isoelectric precipitation and heparin affinity chromatography. First, casein was effectively removed by isoelectric precipitation. rhAT III was further purified by heparin affinity chromatography. In the process of heparin affinity chromatography, the effects of pH and temperature on the stability of rhAT III were studied, and the effects of operating conditions, elution gradient, flow rate and sample loaded, on the purification efficiency were also studied. Under the optimized conditions, the protein recovery of rhAT III was about 90% with purity over 99%, while its activity recovery was about 50%. Such a purification process is very simple and effective, and it would provide a valuable reference for the further scaling-up of industrial production.

Aim To investigate the role of COX-2 in BMP9 induced osteogenic differentiation,and the pos-sible mechanism underlying this function of COX-2. Methods We introduced real-time PCR, Western blot, and immunocytochemical staing to detect the effect of BMP9 on COX-2 expression.We employed chemiluminescence technique to assay ALP activities, RT-PCR to detect the expression of Smad6 and Smad7 , and Western blot to measure the expression of Runx2, Dlx-5,total Smad1/5/8,and phosphorylated Smad1/5/8.Finally,BMPR-Smad luciferase reporter assay was applied to measure the activation of BMPs/Smads signaling.Results BMP9 could induce the expression of COX-2 in C3H10T1/2 cells.Either inhibiting enzy-matic activity of COX-2 or knockdown of the expression of COX-2 reduced the BMP9 induced ALP activities in C3H10T1/2 cells,and COX-2 knockdown also inhibited the ectopic bone formation induced by BMP9 in C3H10T1/2 cells.Moreover,COX-2 knockdown inhibi-ted BMPR-Smad reporter activities and the phosphoryl-ation of Smad1/5/8,so did the expression of Smad6 and Smad7 .Conclusion COX-2 may play an impor-tant role in BMP9 induced osteogenic differentiation in MSCs by regulating the BMPs/Smads signaling trans-duction.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of enhanced magnetic resonance pulmonary perfusion imaging(MRPP) in the diagnosis and follow-up of pulmonary embolism(PE). Methods Sixty patients suspected of PE underwent MRPP. Twenty-seven patients also underwent radionuclide perfusion imaging. 22 patients repeated MRPP examination after 3 day to 1 month anticoagulation or thrombolytic therapy. The feasibility and accuracy of MRPP in the diagnosis and follow-up of PE were evaluated according to the transformation rate of signal (TROS), time-signal curve and some parameters of main pulmonary artery(such as peak value of flow,mean flow velocity and flow rate). The t test and rank sum test were used for the statistics. Results MRPP showed a high agreement with radionuclide perfusion imaging. TROS was (2. 86 ± 2. 48 ) vs ( 6. 72 ± 2. 54) ( t = 3. 370, P < 0. 01 ), the peak time was ( 13.98 ±5.60) vs ( 12. 33 ± 3.63 ) s ( t = 3. 930, P < 0. 01 ), the peak value of main pulmonary blood flow was (60.39 ± 15. 17) vs (69.93±13.22) cm/s(t=2.930, P<0. 01) and mean flow velocity (11.68±5.46) vs ( 13.54 ± 4. 18 ) cm/s ( t = 2. 380, P < 0. 05 ) before and after anticoagulation or thrombolytic therapy. The flow rate per unit was (80. 57 ± 24. 87) vs ( 85.48 ± 11.81 ) ml/s ( t = 0. 86,P > 0. 05 ) . Conclusion MRPP shows a high agreement with radionuclide perfusion imaging and is a useful method for the diagnosis and follow-up of PE.

Aim To investigate the anti-proliferation effect of resveratrol (Res)on human colon cancer cells and dissect the possible mechanism underlaying this effect.Methods We introduced crystal violet staining and Western blot to analyse the anti-proliferation effect of Res on HCT1 1 6 cells.Then,we used flow cytome-try and Western blot assay to detect the Res induced apoptosis in HCT1 1 6 cells.Next,we employed the well established TCF4 /LEF luciferase reporter to meas-ure the effect of Res on Wnt/β-catenin signaling trans-duction.Finally,we took Western blot and PCR assay to analyse the effect of Res on the expression of β-cate-nin in HCT1 1 6 cells.Results Crystal violet staining and Western blot analysis showed that Res could inhib-it the proliferation of HCT1 1 6 cells in a concentration-and time dependent fashion.What’s more,Res could promote apoptosis in HCT1 1 6 cells.The transcriptional activities of TCF4 /LEF reporter were reduced by Res in a concentration-dependent fashion (P <0.05 when the concentration of Res was 20 μmol·L -1 ,and P <0.01 when the concentration of Res was 40 μmol·L -1 or 80 μmol·L -1 ).Res could decrease not only the protein level of β-catenin in HCT1 1 6 cells,but also the mRNA expression of β-catenin.Conclusion Res can inhibit the proliferation of HCT1 1 6 cells,which may be mediated at least by down-regulating the ex-pression of β-catenin to inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin sig-naling transduction.
