According to their polypeptide length and number of d is ulphide bonds, disintegrins are divided into five groups, including short-sized disintegrins, medium-sized disintegrins, long-sized disintegrins, dimeric dis integrins and disintegrin-like molecules released from the disintegrin-like do mains of P-III snake venom metalloproteinases. The integrin-inhibitory activit y of disintegrins, to inhibit platelet aggregating, cell attaching and angiogene sis, depends on the active tripeptide RGD, the appropriate pairing of cysteine r esidues, the amino acids adjacent to the RGD motif within the integrin-binding loop and the C-terminus of the disintegrin polypeptidesl as well.

5 000 mg/L). ② All extracts except algin (ALG) had an obviously HSV-1 inhibitory effect. Antiviral activities of them were increasingly strengthened with their purities. Antiviral activities of extracts from flucoidan 1, F 1, F 2 and F 4 were better than acyclovir (ACV). ③ Antiviral activities of all extracts on CVB 3 were better than ribavirin injection. F 1, F 2 and F 4 had remarkable anti-CVB 3 effects. ④ The experiment showed that Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharides not only kill the above viruses directly but also restrain them via getting into cells or absorbing on cells.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of polysaccharides from Sargassum fusiforme on the HepG 2 cells. Methods Six kinds of polysaccharides were prepared by hot water extracting, ethanol and CaCl 2 precipitating and acid hydrolyzing. Inhibition rate of these polysaccharides on the HepG 2 cells were determined by MTT bioassay. Results Inhibition rate of two kinds of polysaccharides increased at lower concentration. Inhibition ratie of other polysaccharides increased with the increment of concentration. At the dose less than 2000mg?L -1,inhibition rate was not more than 40%. Conclusion All polysaccharide specimens obtained from Sargassum fusiforme have some inhibitory effects on human liver cancer cells HepG 2.

Objective:
To analyze the correlations between intraoperative ultrasound and MRI metrics of the spinal cord in degenerative cervical myelopathy and identify novel potential predictive ultrasonic indicators of neurological recovery for degenerative cervical myelopathy.
Materials and Methods:
Twenty-two patients who underwent French-door laminoplasty for multilevel degenerative cervical myelopathy were followed up for 12 months. The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores were assessed preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. Maximum spinal cord compression and compression rates were measured and calculated using both intraoperative ultrasound imaging and preoperative T2-weight (T2W) MRI. Signal change rates of the spinal cord on preoperative T2W MRI and gray value ratios of dorsal and ventral spinal cord hyperechogenicity on intraoperative ultrasound imaging were measured and calculated. Correlations between intraoperative ultrasound metrics, MRI metrics, and the recovery rate JOA scores were analyzed using Spearman correlation analysis.
Results:
The postoperative JOA scores improved significantly, with a mean recovery rate of 65.0 ± 20.3% (p < 0.001). No significant correlations were found between the operative ultrasound metrics and MRI metrics. The gray value ratios of the spinal cord hyperechogenicity was negatively correlated with the recovery rate of JOA scores (ρ = -0.638, p = 0.001), while the ventral and dorsal gray value ratios of spinal cord hyperechogenicity were negatively correlated with the recovery rate of JOA-motor scores (ρ = -0.582, p = 0.004) and JOA-sensory scores (ρ = -0.452, p = 0.035), respectively. The dorsal gray value ratio was significantly higher than the ventral gray value ratio (p < 0.001), while the recovery rate of JOA-motor scores was better than that of JOA-sensory scores at 12 months post-surgery (p = 0.028).
Conclusion
For degenerative cervical myelopathy, the correlations between intraoperative ultrasound and preoperative T2W MRI metrics were not significant. Gray value ratios of the spinal cord hyperechogenicity and dorsal and ventral spinal cord hyperechogenicity were significantly correlated with neurological recovery at 12 months postoperatively.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Coptidis Rhizoma and Ophiopogonis Radix on renal tissue injury and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway in rats with diabetic nephropathy (DN) and explore its possible mechanism of delaying DN. MethodThirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal group (6 rats) and a model group (30 rats). The model group was fed with a high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with streptozotocin (STZ) to establish a rat model of type 2 diabetes. After the successful preparation of the model, the rats were randomly divided into the model group, low, medium, and high dose groups of Coptidis Rhizoma and Ophiopogonis Radix (100, 200, 400 mg·kg-1), and metformin group (200 mg·kg-1). After administration, the levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), 24 h urine protein (24 h-UTP), creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (BUN), and uric acid (UA) were detected. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of renal tissue in rats. Western blot and Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to detect the related protein expression of EGFR, PI3K, and Akt and their mRNA expression levels in the renal tissue of rats in each group. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the levels of FBG, SCr, BUN, UA, 24 h-UTP, and kidney index in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.01), most renal tubular epithelial cells were necrotic, and the content of collagen in glomeruli was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the above indexes of rats in each administration group were improved to varying degrees. The FBG, SCr, BUN, UA, 24 h-UTP, and kidney index of rats in each dose group and metformin group were significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05). The necrosis degree of renal tubular epithelial cells was reduced, and the fibrosis area was decreased (P<0.01). There related protein and mRNA expressions of EGFR, PI3K, and Akt were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionCoptidis Rhizoma and Ophiopogonis Radix can alleviate renal tissue injury in rats with DN, and their mechanism may be related to the regulation of the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
