OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preventive and therapeutic effect of Shuganning injection on alcoholic liver fibrosis (ALF) in model rats,and provide experimental basis for its clinical application for alcoholic liver disease. METHODS:50 rats were enrolled and intraperitoneally given mixed liquid of 60% alcohol-corn oil-pyrazole to reduce ALF model. Another 10 rats were enrolled and intraperitoneally given normal saline,as normal control group. After 16 weeks,survived model rats(n=40)were ran-domly divided into model group,positive control group(Anluo huaxian pill 0.75 g/kg,ig),Shuganning injection high-dose,medi-um-dose,low-dose groups(4.8,2.4,1.2 mL/kg,ip),8 in each group. Normal control group and model group were intraperitone-ally injected equal volume of normal saline (5 mL/kg),administration groups were given relevant medicines,once a day,for 8 weeks;and modeling was contiuously conducted at the same time. After administration,body mass of rats was weighed,and the levels of liver function indexes [aspartate aminotransferase(AST),alanine aminotransferase(ALT)] and liver fibrosis indexes [hyal-uronic acid(HA),laminin(LN),type Ⅲ procollagen(PⅢNP),type Ⅳ collagen(Ⅳ-C)] in serum of rats were detected. Liver index of rats was determined and pathological changes of liver tissue were observed. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,body mass of rats in model group was significantly decreased(P<0.05);liver index,and liver function index,liver fibro-sis index levels in serum were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Liver tissue showed steatosis,hepatocyte vacuoliza-tion,a large number of fibrous tissue deposition around portal areas and other pathological changes. Compared with model group,above-mentioned changes were improved significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Shugan-ning injection can obviously improve liver tissue damage of model rats with ALF,showing certain preventive and therapeutic effect on alcoholic liver disease.

Four cases of Pentalogy of Cantrell were diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and confirmed by autopsy after labor induction.There were 1 case of complete Pentalogy of Cantrell and 3 cases of incomplete Pentalogy.In 3 cases of incomplete Pentalogy of Cantrell,1 case presented with high umbilical cord prolapse,extraspectoral heart,partial defect of the lower part of the sternum,partial defect of the pericardium,single umbilical artery and cervical lymphatic cyst;1 case presented with high umbilical cord prolapse,extraspectoral heart,thoracic fissure and ventricular septal defect;and 1 case presented with umbilical cord,extraspectoral heart,partial inferior sternal segment defect,ventricular septal defect and bilateral clubfoot varus.In l case of complete Pentalogy of Cantrell,there were high umbilical cord bulge,extraspectoral heart,chest fissure and inferior segment defect,anterior diaphragm and pericardium defect,total forebrain deformity,right 12th ribs loss and ventricular septal defect.Ectopic heart and omphalocele are typical echographic features of Pentalogy of Cantrel and prenatal ultrasonography is of important value in early diagnosis of this congenital malformation.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects and potential mechani sm of deoxyschizandrin on the proliferation ,migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell HONE- 1. METHODS :HONE-1 cell was set as cell model ,while CCK- 8 test,wound healing assay and Transwell chamber test were used to detect the proliferation ,migration and invasion ability changes of HONE- 1 cells after treatment with different concentrations [ 0(blank control ),10,20,40 μmol/L] of deoxyschizandrin. Computer molecular docking was performed to analyze the binding ability between deoxyschizandrin and Met protein. Western blotting assay was used to detect the relative protein expressions of p-Met ,p-PI3K,p-Akt,Bcl-2 and N-cadherin in cells. RESULTS :Compared with blank control ,the proliferation ,migration and invasion ability of cells after treated with 10,20,40 μmol/L deoxyschizandrin were all decreased significantly (P<0.05). Results of molecular docking revealed that deoxyschizandrin could stably bind with the activity pocket of Met protein. Results of Western blotting assay demonstrated that compared with blank control ,10,20,40 μmol/L deoxyschizandrin all decreased the relative protein expressions of p-Met ,p-PI3K,p-Akt,Bcl-2 and N-cadherin in cells significantly(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Deoxyschizandrin can inhibit the proliferation ,migration and invasion of HONE- 1 cell via inhibiting the activation of Met/PI 3K/Akt signaling pathway.
