AIMTo study whether Mel has protective role in liver c old preservation and its mechanism. METHODSTo study the role of Mel at the different concentration and time in liver cold preservation, we colle cted liver washing liquid and liver tissue from male SD rats. We analysed ALT, AST, LDH, HA, ET 1, MDA and SOD to see the function of liver cell and sinusoida l lining cell and mechanism of cell injury. At the same time, we studied the eff ects of Mel at different concentration and different time on liver cold preserva tion. RESULTS① The damage to liver function and change of its histology was aggravated with the prolongation of UW co ld preservation time, and injury of the sinusoidal lining cell was also aggravated gr adually. ② Indexes of the liver function and the sinusoidal lining cell functio n in the Mel solution cold preservation group were lower than that in the UW sol ution cold preservation group. These suggest protective role of Mel against live r injury caused by cold preservation. Its mechanism may be related to powerful a nti-oxidative effect of Mel. ③ The protective effect of Mel at 1?10 -5 m ol?L -1 ,1?10 -7 mol?L -1 was better than that of Mel at 1?10 -9 mol?L -1 . We found no obvious difference between the protection of Mel 1?10 -5 mol?L -1 and 1?10 -7 mol?L -1 indicati ng a concentration-effect relationship. CONCLUSIONProtective ef fect of UW solution used in clinic weakens gradually as cold preservation time increases. Mel solution has protective effect on liver cold preservation injury and is better than the simple UW solution. Its mechanism is related to anti-oxi dative effect of Mel.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects Weide'an tablet on gastric function and the expressions of epidermal growth fac-tor(EGF)and its receptor(EGFR)in gastric tissue of model rats with stress-induced gastric injury,and investigate its mechanism in the treatment of gastric ulcer. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal group (normal saline),model group (nor-mal saline),positive group (ranitidine hydrochloride,0.015 mg/kg) and Weide'an tablet high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups (1.7,0.87,0.43 g/kg),10 in each group. Except for normal group,rats in other groups were given fasting swimming in cold water to induce gastric ulcer model. After modeling,all rats were intragastrically administrated once a day,for 2 weeks. The body mass of rats in 0,7,14 d of administration was recorded. After 12 h of last administration,gastric juice secretion,gastric juice pH,gastric ulcer area and gastric mucosal damage index of rats were detected,and the expressions of EGF and EGFR in gas-tric tissue were detected. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,body mass and gastric juice pH in 7,14 d in model group were declined;gastric juice secretion and gastric ulcer area were increased,gastric mucosal damage index was increased;and the expressions of EGF and EGFR in gastric tissue were enhanced,with statistical significances(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group,except that the body mass,gastric juice secretion,gastric juice pH and gastric ulcer area in Weide'an medium-dose group in 7 d,and body mass,gastric juice secretion,gastric juice pH,gastric ulcer area and the expression of EGF in gastric tis-sue in Weide'an low-dose group in 7,14 d were not significantly improved,above indexes were significantly improved in other ad-ministration groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01);and the effect of Weide'an tablet showed a certain dose-effect relationship. CONCLU-SIONS:Weide'an tablet can significantly improve the gastric function of model rats with stress-induced gastric injury;and the mechanism may be related with enhancing the expressions of EGF and EGFR and promoting ulcer healing.
