OBJECTIVE: To compare inhibitory effects of ethanol extract of different medicinal parts (root, stem, leaf, seed, flower and flesh) from Syzygium jambos on the activities of α-glycosidase and α-amylase. METHODS: Using half-inhibitory concentration value (IC50) as evaluation index, acarbose as positive control, inhibitory effects of ethanol extract of different medicinal parts from S. jambos on the activities of α-glycosidase (from yeast and small instestine in mice) and α-amylase were evaluated with in vitro inhibition model. The enzymatic dynamics and Lineweaver-Burk methods were used to analyze the inhibitory type of the best medicinal part on the activities of α-glycosidase and α-amylase. RESULTS: In the yeast α-glucosidase inhibitory activity test, the order of inhibitory activity was S. jambos seed>S. jambos stem>S. jambos leaf>S. jambos root>S. jambos flower>S. jambos flesh>acarbose. In the mice intestine α-glucosidase inhibitory activity test, the order of inhibitory activity was S. jambos seed>S. jambos stem>S. jambos root>S. jambos leaf>S. jambos flower>S. jambos flesh>acarbose. In the α-amylase inhibitory activity test, the order of inhibitory activity was acarbose>S. jambos seed>S. jambos stem>S. jambos root>S. jambos leaf>S. jambos flesh>S. jambos flower. Ethanol extract of S. jambos seed had the stronger inhibition activity against α-glucosidase from yeast,α-glucosidase from small intestine in mice and α-amylase than other medicinal parts [IC50 were(6.64±0.24), (32.77±2.46) and (41.18±1.63) μg/mL]. Ethanol extract of S. jambos seed had the stronger inhibition activity against α-glucosidase than acarbose [IC50 to α-glucosidase from yeast and α-glucosidase from small intestine in mice were (2 833.33±5.48), (1 304.21±6.45) μg/mL] (P<0.05). The inhibitory effect of ethanol extract from S. jambos on the activity of α-amylase was less than that of acarbose [IC50 was (27.27±1.24) μg/mL] (P<0.05). Enzymatic dynamics showed that the inhibitory type of ethanol extract from S. jambos seed on α-glucosidase and α-amylase were both reversible competitive inhibition. CONCLUSIONS: Among different parts of S. jambos such as root, stem, leaf, seed, flower and flesh, S. jambos seed shows the strongest inhibitory effects on the activities of α-glucosidase and α-amylase, which has the value of being developed for the treatment of diabetes or health food.

Objective To investigate the effect of δ-opioid receptor agonist D-Ala2-D-Leu5-enkephalin (DADLE) on the celluar immune function in septic rats. Methods One hundred and fifty healthy male SD rats weighing 154-198 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 50 each):group Ⅰ sham operation (group S);group Ⅱ sepsis (group SEP) and group Ⅲ DADLE. Sepsis was induced by cecum ligation and punture (CLP) in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. In group Ⅲ 0.5 rmg/kg DADLE 10 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally (IP) immediately after CLP operation. Seven day survival rate was calculated. Blood samples were collected from 10 animals at 4, 8 and 12 h after operation (T1-3) respectively in each group for determination of serum TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations by ELISA and changes in T-cell subsets by flow cytometry. Results CLP significantly increased serum TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations and TNF-α/IL-10 ratio at T1-3 and decreased CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio and increased CD8+ at T3 in group Ⅱ as compared with group S (group Ⅰ). DADLE treatment significantly attenuated the CLP-induced above changes. Seven-day survival rate was significantly higher in DADLE group than in CLP group.Conclusion δ-opioid receptor agonist DADLE can improve the celluar immune function of rats with sepsis and increase the survival rate.

目的观察社区医院对急性脑卒中患者进行二级康复的效果。方法120例急性脑卒中稳定期住院患者,随机分为康复组和对照组。康复组采用早期系统的二级康复治疗40d。于治疗前后用简式Fugl-Meyer评价量表(FMA)、Barthel指数(BI)、临床神经功能缺损程度(CNG)进行评定。结果治疗前两组FMA、CNG、BI评分无显著性差异(P>0.05);治疗后,康复组FMA、CNG、BI评分均高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论社区医院有能力为急性脑卒中患者进行二级康复。
