1.Effect of Polysaccharides from Fructus Rosae Roxburghii on stress Tolerance and Immune Function
Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 1999;0(02):-
[Objective] Pharmacological actions of polysaccharides from Fructus Rosae Roxburghii (PFRR) were investigated to supply evidence for its source development and application. [Methods] With ginsenoside as the positive control, the effect of PFRR on the swimming time and the survival time under the conditions of normotensive hypoxia, hyperther-mia and hypothermia in mice were observed. Phagocytic function of macrophage and serum hemolysin level were also detected. [Results] In PFRR group, the swimming time and the survival time under the above conditions were both prolonged, phagocytic percentage and phagocytic index increased and time at 50% hemolytic concentration prolonged ( P

Objective To explore the correlation between the recurrence rate of the elderly patients with lacunar infarction and the risk factors including blood pressure, blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides,low density lipoprotein cholesterol values, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and other. Methods 207 over 60 years old patients with lacunar infarction occurred the first time were included in the study. All patients were followed up two years to assess the relapse rate and the risk factors of the patients with lacunar infarction. Results 207 cases of elderly patients with lacunar infarction complicated with hypertension,type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia were 148 cases,22 cases,7 cases respectively, and the recurrence rates of three groups were 8.78%, 18.18%, 14.29% respectively;The patients complicated with hypertension and 2 type diabetes were 6 cases,and the recurrence rate was 34.62%;The patients without hypertension,type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia were 4 cases,and the recurrence rate was 0%. In two years,27 cases of lacunar infarction recurred,and the recurrence rate was 13.04%. Conclusion Hypertension,type 2 diabetes,hyperlipidemia could also be considered as the high-risk predictor factors for the recurrence rate of the elderly patients with lacunar infarction.

ObjectiveTo reveal the correlation of Rehmannia glutinosa-soil feedback process with the formation of its continuous cropping obstacles through the identification of the root exudates of R. glutinosa and analysis of the specific rhizomicrobes recruited by the root exudate. MethodThe root exudates of R. glutinosa seedlings germinated under sterilized condition and those enriched in the rhizosphere of R. glutinosa cultivated in the field were collected and analyzed using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS). The highly abundant compounds identified in the root exudates were added into blank soil, and the soil microbial community was profiled using Illumina Miseq sequencing. The bacterial and fungal functions were predicted by PICRUSt and FUNGuild, respectively. ResultThe identification results showed that seven phenylethanoid glycosides were found in R. glutinosa root exudates, and acteoside possessed the highest abundance. In the soil enriched with acteoside, the bacterial genera such as Agromyces, Pseudomonas, Lysobacter, Sphingobium, Pseudoxanthomonas and Sphingomonas were enriched. For the fungi, the genera Neocosmospora, Plectosphaerella and Dactylonectria, and the species such as Neocosmospora rubicola, Plectosphaerella cucumerina, Dactylonectria alcacerensis and Fusarium solani showed higher abundance. The functional analysis indicated the above-mentioned bacterial genera may realize rapid proliferation by utilizing, biodegrading and transforming phenylethanoid glycosides, and some potential fungal pathogens were colonized. ConclusionThe R. glutinsoa-soil feedbacks were likely generated by the phenylethanoid glycosides in the root exudates together with the specific rhizomicrobes. The investigations of R. glutinsoa-soil feedbacks under continuous cropping system are critical to the further understanding of the underlying mechanisms related to its continuous cropping obstacles.
