Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(02):-
Aim To study antidiabetic effect and mechanism of Mogroside extracts(MGC) on hyperglycemic mice induced by Alloxan.Methods Alloxan-induced diabetic mice were fed with MGC at dose of 50,100?300,500 mg?kg~(-1) bw respectively for 30 d.The blood glucose levels,the blood lipid levels and antioxidation levels were assayed after the last fedding.Results ①MGC at dose of 100?300?500 mg?kg~(-1) bw significantly lowered the fasting blood glucose and the hypoglycemic effect of MGC at dose of 100 mg?kg~(-1) bw was the best ②MGC decreased the content of TC,TG and enhanced the content of HDL-C of alloxan-induced diabetic mice,so it could restore the blood lipid levels of diabetic mice(P0.01).Conclusion Mogroside extracts(MGC) have obvious glucose-lowering effect on hyperglycemic mice,its mechanism may be related with improving antioxidation level and restoring the blood lipid levels of hyperglycemic mice.

AIM: To explore the effects of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K)/Akt on interleukin (IL)-6, the endothelin (ET)-1-mediated process of airway fibroblast activation induced by injured human bronchial epithelial cells (HBE). METHODS: Human primary cultured airway fibroblasts were co-cultured with HBE pre-treated with or without poly-L-arginine (PLA). The procedure was also performed in the presence or absence of p38 MAPK selective inhibitor SB203580, PI3K selective inhibitor LY294002 or ETA receptor blocker BQ123, respectively. Immunostaining, Western blotting or ELISA were used for detecting α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression, the activities of p38 MAPK and Akt in fibroblasts or IL-6 levels in supernatants of fibroblasts. In addition, fibroblasts were mixed with soluble collagen and cultured with HBE treated as the same mentioned above, the gel contraction was measured by serial area measurements. RESULTS: ET-1 and IL-6 levels [(13.69±1.36) ng/L, (56.7±10.7) ng/L] in the supernatants of fibroblasts cultured with injured HBE were significantly higher than those in the supernatants of fibroblasts cultured with HBE [(3.79±0.64) ng/L, (15.5±3.2) ng/L]. BQ123, SB203580 or LY294002 decreased IL-6 levels [(27.2±3.1) ng/L, (31.5±3.6) ng/L, (41.3±3.2) ng/L] differently in the supernatants of fibroblasts induced by injured HBE. Activation of p38 MAPK preceded Akt in fibroblasts cultured with injured HBE. BQ123 reduced the phosphorylation levels of p38 MAPK and Akt. SB203580 concentration-dependently attenuated Akt phosphorylation, while LY294002 had little effect on p38 MAPK phosphorylation. Fibroblasts expressed more α-SMA after cultured with injured HBE and showed significant increase in the gel contraction compared to fibroblasts cultured with HBE [percentage of gel contraction: (61.2±2.7)% vs (15.4±7.3)%], all these effects were diminished or inhibited by BQ123, SB203580 or LY294002. Furthermore, the effects of BQ123 and SB203580 on decreased gel contraction were stronger than the effect of LY294002. CONCLUSION: ET-1 exerts a key role in the airway fibroblasts activation induced by injured HBE through activating p38 MAPK, PI3K/Akt signaling and promoting IL-6 expression.

Objective To investigate prognostic value of the CHA 2 DS2-VASc score [ congestive heart failure , hypertension , age≥75y (doubled), diabetes mellitus, stroke (doubled)-vascular disease, age 65~74 and sex category (female)] in an initial car-dioembolic stroke with atrial fibrillation .Methods A total of 346 initial cardioembolic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation was en-rolled.The clinical feature, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score on admission, and clinical outcome [modi-fied Rankin Scale (mRS) score after 90 days] were obtained and evaluated retrospectively according to the CHA 2DS2-VASc score. Results The rate of female, smoking, hypertension, congestive heart failure, anticoagulation and the level of age, NIHSS score, and CHA2 DS2-VASc score were significantly different between two prognostic groups ( P <0.05 ) .A positive correlation was observed be-tween CHA2DS2-VASc score and NIHSS score on admission (ρ=0.324, P <0.01), CHA2DS2-VASc score and mRS score (ρ=0.228, P <0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that age , smoking, anticoagulation, the CHA2DS2-VASc score, and the NIH-SS score on admission were related to clinical outcome independently .Conclusions The CHA2 DS2-VASc score may be useful for not only evaluation of stroke risk but also prediction of clinical outcomes after stroke .

Objective To observe the anesthesia related effect of dexmedetomidine conscious sedation on Laryngeal mask airway general anesthesia in Parkinson patients with deep brain electric stimulus implantation.Methods Forty patients (72 males, 8 females, aged 18-75 years, ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ) of Parkinson disease with selective operated bilateral subthalamic nucleus deep brain electric stimulus implantation were selected and randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group (group D) and contrast group (group C), 20 cases in each group.The operation divided into two stages: in the first stage, the electrode was put under the local anesthesia, CT examination proof of electrode placement satisfaction was the end of the first stage.The second stage needed to bury the pulse generator under of the chest skin under general anesthesia.For group D, dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was pumped venously within 15 min after entering the operating room, the speed of 0.1-0.3 μg·kg-1·h-1 was kept subsequently until the end of the first period.For group C, the same dosage of normal saline was pumped.The times of micro-electrode interference, tremor relief were recorded.Ramsay scores of two groups of patients were recorded at the entry of operating room (T0), partial infiltration anesthesia (T1), unilateral electrode implantation (T2), contralateral electrode implantation (T3), the end of the first period (T4);the time needed to vanish consciousness, implant laryngeal mask airway, recover the spontaneous breathing and extubation were recorded;the propofol, remifentanil dosage from the beginning of general anesthesia induction to the end of the surgery were recorded.Results The micro-electrode was intervened and tremble was relieved in both two groups.Compared with group C, the ramsay scores of T1-T4 were obviously increased in group D (P<0.05), the time needed to vanish consciousness, implant laryngeal mask airway, recover the autonomous respiration, extubation were significantly shortened in group D (P<0.05), the dosage of propofol, remifentanil from the beginning of the general anesthesia starts to the end of the surgery were significantly reduced in group D (P<0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine provided the excellent sedation to the first period of Parkinson patients with deep brain electric stimulus implantation;it can shorten the time of the anesthesia induction and awakening time, as well as decreases propofol and remifentanil dosage.

Objective To investigate the CT manifestations of pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma (PSH), and improve the CT diagnostic accuracy of the disease.Methods The CT manifestations of 5 cases with pulmonary sclerosing hemangioma which were proved by pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Results Solitary pulmonary nodule was demonstrated in all 5 cases with clear demarcation on CT. The nodule was smooth and homogeneous in density in 4 cases, and was slightly irregular with cavity in another case. After intravenous contrast administration, all the lesions were homogeneously enhanced, similar to the nearby blood vessels. The vessels linked with the lesions were found generally.Conclusion The CT is helpful for the diagnosis of PSH.
