AIM and METHODS: To study the efficacy of the decoction of invigorating kidney and activating blood circulation(DIKABC) in BALB/C mice with immune mediated aplastic anemia. 50 female BALB/C mice at 8～12 weeks of age were divided into 5 groups:(1) control,(2) model,(3) model+DIKABC(H), (4) model+DIKABC(L), and (5) model+ciclosporin A(CsA). The model of immune mediated aplastic anemia in BALB/C mice, which received sublethal whole body irradiation, lymph node and thymus cells of DBA/2 mice, was given different liquid from groups and administered appropriately for 9 days, blood cells and bone marrow nucleated cells(BMNC) and CD + 45 cells were determined by flow cytomytry(FCM).RESULTS: RBC,WBC,Platelet,BMNC in DIKABC groups were higher than those in model group ( P

AIM:To analyze the regulatory effect of Yigu capsule on core binding factor alpha 1 (cbf ?-1) gene expression in bone of ovariectomized osteoporosis (OP) rats. METHODS: Thirty-six 10-month old Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomized into three groups: sham-operated group, model group and drug group. After intervention by the corresponding methods, the femurs were collected, SYBR green Ⅰ fluorescence quantitative PCR technique was applied with the internal control of GAPDH according to the relative quantitative formula (2-Ct), the differentially expressed multiples between the model group or drug group and sham-operated group were calculated. RESULTS: Quantitative formula analysis showed that the level of cbf ?-1 gene expression in bone of model groups was decreased than that in sham-operated rats [compared with sham-operated group, P0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of this study show that cbf ?-1 gene expression in bone tissue of ovariectomized OP rat is decreased, and Yigu capsule increases the level of cbf ?-1 gene expression in bone of OP, indicating that Yigu capsule induces bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts.

AIM: To investigate the effect for Chinese herbal recipe exctract for replenishing kidney and activating blood circulation (CRERKABC) on cell proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in cultured rat osteoblasts. METHODS: Osteoblasts from craniums of newly born SD rats were cultured in vitro , and the third-passage osteoblasts were exposed to CRERKABC(20 mg/L, 40 mg/L, 80 mg/L) and vehicle, respectively. MMT was used to assess ability of cell proliferation. Activity of akaline phosphatase was assayed by p-nitrophenyl picolinate, and content of osteocalcin in suppernatants was examined by radioimmunoassay. In addition, alizarin bordeaux staining method was used to count mineralzation nodes under optical microscope. RESULTS: ①CRERKABC increased the proliferation of osteoblasts in a dose and time-dependant manner. ②Akaline phosphatase(ALP) activity and osteocalcin content were also increased in CRERKABC-treated groups at 48 h , 72 h, 96 h, except ALP in low concentration CRERKABC group at 48 h( P0.05 ). CONCLUSION: CRERKABC can promote proliferation, differentiation, maturation and mineralization of the osteoblasts cultured in vitro.

Osteoporosis has become a global public health problem, and dietary interventions may potentially be helpful in preventing this disorder.Salt ( sodium chloride) is one of the most important dietary nutrients.High sodium chloride intake may play an important role in bone metabolism.In this paper, we reviewed the effects of high sodium chlo-ride intake on bone mineral density, bone mineral content and bone biochemical markers, and analyzed the possible causes through currently available literature.Although there are a few inconsistencies results, we conclude a long-term high salt intake can reduce bone density or bone mineral content, change many biochemical markers of bone resorption, which may be caused mainly by increasing urinary calcium excretion and a low-grade metabolic acidosis.However, there are still many unclear aspects need further exploration.

One of the hallmark features of children with autism is language barrier,which mainly manifested with lack of visual contact and attention,imitation speech,broad pronunciation problems,poor understanding abilities to speech and abstract questions,deficiency of logicality,spoken language disorder,confusion about the usage of pronouns such as you,I and she or he,etc.According to the basic principles of language training,visual perception tracing,vision contact,cultivation of communication desire,auditory and understanding training can all be used to make children with autism to understand the relationship between pronunciation and words,try to pronounce syllables,make good preparation for valid pronunciation in the early stage of language training.Respiration training,point massage of oral surface and valid usage of pronunciation organs' practice can help them to say phrase and simple sentences gradually.They can say a sentence correctly and achieve the destination of grasping language through learning decorative words and enhancement of understanding and logic abilities.Very efficient result could be approached through correct evaluation,found existing problems and using correct training methods during language training of children with autism.

AIM:To observe the effect of TNF-? and Yigu capsule drug-containing sera on osteoblasts apoptosis in osteoblasts-osteoclasts coculture system.METHODS:(1)Twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats,10 months old,were randomly assigned into 2 groups,NS and Yigu capsule groups,to prepare blank sera and drug-containing sera.(2)The DNA gel electrophoresis method was used to detect apoptosis of osteoblasts treated with different concentration of TNF-? in order to determine the best dosage in the co-culture system.(3)The cells were divided into four groups,TNF-? group,normal group,TNF-? + blank serum group and TNF-? + drug-containing serum group.DNA gel electrophoresis,acridine orange staining and flow cytometry were used to observe osteoblast apoptosis in these groups.RESULTS:(1)After induced by TNF-? for 72 h at a concentration of 60 ?g/L,relatively typical DNA ladder appeared in TNF-? group.(2)Only two DNA brands appeared and most of cells were well-proportioned stained in TNF-? + drug-containing serum group,the rate of osteoblasts apoptosis in TNF-? + drug-containing serum group(9.60%?0.26%)was obviously lower than that in the TNF-? group(26.90%?0.06%)and TNF-? + blank serum group(18.10%?0.06%).CONCLUSION:TNF-? induces osteoblast apoptosis in the co-culture system,and Yigu capsule drug-containing serum prevents osteoblast apoptosis induced by TNF-?.

Combined antiretroviral therapy ( cART) is widely used for infections of human immune deficiency virus ( HIV) .However , some antiviral drugs can not reach the effective concentrations in central nervous system due to the hinder of blood-brain barrier ( BBB) , resulting in the formation of viral reservoir in central nervous system .BBB is formed by human brain microvascular endothelial cells ( HBMVECs ) , which are connected by tight junction and a thick basement membrane , and astrocytic end-feet.This paper reviews possible mechanisms of BBB hindrance and anti-HIV drug efflux by transport proteins , as well as effective methods to deliver antiretroviral drugs into brain , including the application of nano technology .

0.05). The core temperature, levels of TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 were lower at t2 and t3 in group Ⅱ than those in group Ⅰ (P

AIM: To investigate the effect of yigu capsule drug-containing serum on proliferation, ALP activity and expression of interleukin-11 mRNA in Sprague-Dawley rat osteobalsts in the co-culture system. METHODS: (1) Osteoblasts and osteoclasts were isolated from 1 and 5-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats, respectively. The osteoblasts-osteoclasts co-culture system was built to prevent the two kinds of cells from contact and allow the media to exchange. The experiment included two groups, drug-containing sera group and control group. (2) The osteoblasts proliferation, ALP activity and expression of interleukin-11 mRNA were detected by the MTT, 4-aminoantipyrine spectrometric methods and FQ-PCR,respectively. RESULTS: In drug-containing sera group, the osteoblasts proliferation, ALP activity, expression of IL-11 mRNA were higher than those of control group (P

For the purpose of detecting the polymorphism of the human eighth complement component(C8A),an allele specific amplification method were established for detecting two alleles of C8A based on a nucleotide exchange of the C8? cDNA sequence.100 DNA blood samples from unrelated individuals of Han population in Chengdu were typed by this method.The result of comparison with the data of protein typing of the same samples using SDS PAGE method proved that the described method is efficient,correct and reliable for C8A genotypes.This methtod is valuable for further application in population genetic study and forensic science practice.
