AIM: To investigate the damages of adrenal gland in rabbits infected with neisseria meningococci(MC).METHODS: 18 rabbits were injected with MC (1?10 11 organism/kg, iv, model group, n=10 ) or normal saline (control group, n=8 ).TNF-? was detected in baseline (before challenged), 60 min and 120 min after injection. 120 min after injection, TNF-? immunochemical localization of adrenal gland was detected with ABC methods by electron microscopy. RESULTS: In model group, TNF-? positive cells were located in medulla and TNF-? released into simus of medulla. The medulla damages were appeared but gland cells of cortex was normal. No damages were showed in control group. TNF-? value of plasm was elevated at 60 min and 120 min after injection compared with control group. CONCLUSION: TNF-? was released into medulla and resulted in medulla damages after MC challenging. Adrenal cortex didnt damaged in early phase of MC septic shock. [

AIM: To investigate the damages of adrenal gland in rabbits infected with neisseria meningococci(MC).METHODS: 18 rabbits were injected with MC (1×1011 organism/kg, iv, model group, n=10) or normal saline (control group, n=8).TNF-α was detected in baseline (before challenged), 60 min and 120 min after injection. 120 min after injection, TNF-α immunochemical localization of adrenal gland was detected with ABC methods by electron microscopy. RESULTS: In model group, TNF-α positive cells were located in medulla and TNF-α released into simus of medulla. The medulla damages were appeared but gland cells of cortex was normal. No damages were showed in control group. TNF-α value of plasm was elevated at 60 min and 120 min after injection compared with control group. CONCLUSION: TNF-α was released into medulla and resulted in medulla damages after MC challenging. Adrenal cortex didnt damaged in early phase of MC septic shock.

Objective:To optimize the formula of metronidazole and borneol sustained-release films. Methods: The mass ratio of Rhizoma Bletillae polysaccharide and polyvinyl alcohol 124(PVA-124) and the dosage of glycerol and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ( CMC-Na) as the influencing factors ,the appearance of films and the release rate of metronidazole at 0. 5h and 4h as the comprehen-sive evaluation indices, the formula of the film-forming materials was optimized by orthogonal test. Results:The mass ratio of Rhizoma Bletillae polysaccharide and PVA-124 was the key factor affecting the quality of the films. When the mass ratio of Rhizoma Bletillae pol-ysaccharide and PVA-124 was 20∶80, and the dosage of glycerol was 3. 5g and that of CMC-Na was 0. 14g, the appearance of the films was satisfied, the release rate of metronidazole at 0. 5h and 4h was 25. 17% and 69. 64%, respectively, and the average cumulative re-lease rate at 8h was over 90%. Conclusion:The films prepared by the optimized formula are flat, smooth, clean and moderately soft, which can not only remain the drug release characteristics of the films made by the original formula, but also exhibit the pharmacologi-cal effect of Rhizoma Bletillae.

AIM: To investigate the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced p38 MAPK activation and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) secretion in macrophages. METHODS: Western blotting was used to detect the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK in mouse macrophages cultured in vitro. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the secretion of TNF-? in macrophages. Electron microscopy was used to study the effect of EGCG on the structure of LPS. RESULTS: LPS caused activation of p38 MAPK and more production of TNF-?, EGCG inhibited LPS-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and TNF-? production and had no effect on the structure of LPS. CONCLUSIONS: EGCG has no direct effect on LPS, but blocks cellular signal pathway. The inhibition of EGCG on LPS-induced TNF-? production is mediated, at least in part, through blocking of p38 MAPK pathway. [
