2. High performance liquid chromatography in determination of baicalin and wogonoside contents in Xiaochaihu decoction
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;31(9):1010-1013
Objective: To establish an HPLC method for determination of baicalin and wogonoside contents in Xiaochaihu decoction. Methods: Decoction pieces were mixed and decocted with water. The chromatographic column was Agilent Zorbax XDB-C18 (150 mmX4.6 mm, 5 μm); the mobile phase was composed of 0.2% phosphate acid-water(A) and acetonitrile (B) with gradient elution at a flow rate of 1 ml/min. The detection wavelength was set at 275 nm, the temperature of column was 25°C, and the injection volume was 15 μL. Results: Baicalin and wogonoside were separated at baseline within 30 min with good linearity; the standard curves for baicalin and wogonoside were Y=44.16X-36.22 (r=0.999,9) and Y=52.08X-28.69(r= 0.999,9), respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precisions were both less than 1%, and the limits of qualification were 0.615,6 μg/ml for baicalin and 0.220,8 μg/ml for wogonoside. The recovery rates (n = 6) were 95.73% (RSD = 0.8%) for baicalin and 97.02% (RSD= 1.56%) for wogonoside. Conclusion: The method is simple, accurate, stable, and reliable in determining the contents of baicalin and wogonoside in Xiaochaihu decoction, and it can be used for the quality control of this preparation.

The calibration curves were linear within the range of (2.022-101.1) μg/ml for calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and (38.04-1522) μg/ml for formononetin, with their regression function being Y=58 924X - 12 352, r=0.999 9 and Y=9 237X - 124 447, r=0.999 9, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precisions (RSD) at low, middle and high injection volume were all less than 2.0%. The limits of detection were 0.202 2 mg/ml for calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and 1.522 mg/ml for formononetin. The recovery rates were 98.34% (RSD=1.33%, n=3) for calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and 98.84% (RSD=0.12%, n=3) for formononetin.

A possible ?-Galactosidase gene(pwtsA) was discovered from soil metagenomic DNA of Taishan Mountain.PwtsA gene was inserted into the expression vector pET30a and transferred into E.coli BL21(DE3).Recombinant protein PWTSA was expressed as a soluble form at high level through IPTG induction,with a molecular mass of 57 kD analyzed by SDS-PAGE.PWTSA can produce o-nitrophenol from o-nitrophenol-?-D-galactopyranoside(ONPG),and its specific activity was determined as 13.6 U/mg.The enzymatic studies demonstrated that the recombinant protein PWTSA was a thermostable ?-Galactosidase,its optimum temperature and pH were 85?C~95?C and 6.5 respectively.In standard assays,the Km for ONPG was 0.83 mmol/L.

Objective To investigate the inhibition mechanism of sodium selenite on HCT116 cells.Methods In the present study,we explored the cytotoxicity induced by sodium selenite and the underlying mechanism by MTS assay,WesternBlot,and small RNA interference technique.Results It was found that the sodium selenite at 5uM concentration could indeed reduce the viability of colon cancer cell line HCT116 by a large margin through increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS),and that the increased levels of ROS could activate c-Jun Nh2-terninal kinase 1 (JNK1).Additionally,knockdown expression of JNK1 or p53 by using RNAi attenuated the cytotoxicity induced by sodium selenite,indicating that both of JNK1 and p53 are required in the process of cell death induced by sodium selenite.Conclusion The sodium selenite could induces cell death in HCT116 through oxidative stress by involvement of JNK1 and p53,both of which play a critical role in toxicity of sodium selenite.

BACKGROUND: Hippocampal formation of brain, a cerebral area related with learning and memory, is closely related to spatial cognitive activity.Peroxidative stress following the onset of cerebral ischemia can induce DNA injury in hippocampal 'area and dentate gyrus, the fall of the ability of DNA plerosis and correspondingly a decline in the function of learning and memory.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of hongjingtian on the expression of nucleic acid of hippocampal area and dentate gyrus, the learning and memory area of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was completed at the Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College from April 2002 to April 2004. Totally 60 Wistar male rats were selected and divided randomly into 5 groups Model group: Rats were perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the same as that in medication group.METHODS: Rats in each group were perfused incessantly for 7 days.Modified Pulsinelli-4 vessel blocking method was used to reproduce the rat model of acute complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Rats in sham-operation group were not treated with the operation of burning vertebral artery and clipping common carotid artery. The changes of DNA and RNA expressions in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus were observed with acridine orange staining method after model establishment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of DNA and RNA in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats in each group.RESULTS: All 60 rats entered the final analysis. DNA and RNA in shamoperation group distributed evenly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was strong. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex was illegible and response intensity was obviously weak in model ly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was group was not of obvious difference as compared with that in model group.CONCLUSION: The illegibility of DNA and RNA fluorescent response in operation group is related with the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus is legihibit the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress and protect learning and memory function in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective To investigate the in vitro effect of multi glycosidorum triptery (MGT) on cytokine production by splenocytes of oxazolone (OXZ) induced colitis in murine model. Methods Six mg of OXZ (in 50% of ethanol) was administered in male SJL/J mice intrarectally to induce colitis and mice were sacrificed 3 days later. Isolated splenocytes were cultured for 24 hours in the presence of PMA and ionomycin, MGT of 0.1 mg/ml or 0.01 mg/ml was added to the culture medium of splenocytes. Production of IFN ? and interleukin 4 (IL 4) in the supernatant was measured by ELISA. Results The production of IFN ? was suppressed by both 0.01 mg/ml and 0.1 mg/ml of MGT [normal control ( 1.24 ? 0.13 ) pg/ml→(0.97?0.26) pg/ml→(0.87?0.18) pg/ml, P
