Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2015;24(10):888-891
Objective To explore the effect of the different doses of oxytocin(OXT) on stress model aggressive behaviour in Wistar rats.Methods According to random number table,40 pregnant rats were divided into experimental stress groups (A, B, C) and control group(D) with 10 samples in each group.Before forced swimming test, rats in experimental groups (A, B, C)were given OXT via intraperitoneal injection with 0.3 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg,2.0 mg/kg;rats in group D were given equal volume of normal saline in the same way.At the 3rd day all rats were tested with maternal aggression,including mothers' following indices as total aggression times,biting times,pinning times,attack latency and duration of attack.Elevated plus maze (EPM) test was applied to analyze the behavioral changes.Results In terms of the duration of attack and attack latency,the indexes of group A and group D were significantly different from relevant data ((147.60±23.92) s and(79.70±9.88) s, P<0.05), while other indexes had no difference(P>0.05).The duration of attack and attack latency had a significant difference ((3.10±0.87) times, (13.60±5.14)times, (91.30±9.74)s and(167.20±30.02) s, P<0.01) between group B and group D except total aggression times(P>0.05).Group C and group D in given indexes had significant differences showing (6.40± 1.34) times, (15.10±4.35) times, (23.70±3.46) times, (49.80± 5.53) s and (215.60± 39.55) s (P<0.01).Group A and group B in given indexes had significant differences (P< 0.05);and group B and group C had a significant difference (P<0.01)except pinning times(P>0.05).In EPM ,the open arm entry ratio and the open arm time ratio of both group A and group D were significantly different from respective percentage (0.47±0.13) and (0.13±0.05) (P<0.01).The significant difference was found in group B and group D(P<0.01);group A and group B had a statistical difference(P<0.05);there was no difference in both groups in open arm time ratio(P>0.05).Conclusion Oxytocin potentially mediates maternal aggression by attenuating stress, and improves the intimate bonding between mother and pups,which means dose dependency of OXT in this process.

Objective To investigate the distribution of weak D and Del phenotype in unrelated blood donors with negative Rh (D). Methods Four hundred and nineRhD (-) unrelated donors were screened by the saline agglutination method. Type weak D was detected by the indirect antiglobulin test, and type Del was detected by absorb radiation method. Results In 409 RhD (-) samples, 27 cases (6.61%) of type weak D were checked out, and 61 cases (14.91%) were type Del and 321 cases (78.48%) were corroborate for RhD (-), In the confirmed RhD (-) blood donors, phenotype ccee was most (49.14%), followed by Ccee (23.47%), People with phenotype ccEe accounted for 4.16%in type weak D, followed by Ccee (1.71%). Ccee accounted for 10.02%in type Del, and Ccee accounted for 1.71%. Conclusion RhD (-) donors screened by regular testing should adopt a more sensitive test for verifing type weak D or Del. In order to ensure the security of blood transfusion, people with type weak D and Del should be regarded as RhD positive blood donors, and the RhD negative people deemed to be recipients.

This study is to investigate the therapeutic effect of syringin on adjuvant arthritis (AA) in rats and its mechanisms. Complete Freund's adjuvant (FCA) was used to induce AA in rats. Secondary paw swelling of AA rats was measured with volume meter. Pain response and polyarthritis index were scored. Meanwhile, splenic lymphocyte proliferation response induced by concanavalin A (ConA) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was examined with MTT assay. IL-2 production of splenic lymphocytes and IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha production of peritoneal macrophage (PM phi) were estimated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The secondary inflammation of AA rats appeared on the 14th day after injection of FCA. Syringin and tripterygium glycosides (TG) were given by intragastric administration for 16 days from the 14th day. Treatment of AA rats with syringin and TG from the 22th day significantly attenuated the secondary hind paw swelling, as well as relieved the pain response and the polyarthritic symptoms of the whole body as compared with that of the AA model group. The suppressed lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production of splenic lymphocytes in AA rats were reversed by treatment with syringin. Meanwhile, syringin remarkably down-regulated IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha productions from PM phi. These results indicate that anti-inflammatory effects of syringin on AA rats are mediated by modulating the immune function of abnormal cells and the balance of cytokines.
