Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(1):18-22
Objective To study the anti-aging effect of total saponins of Polygala tenuifolia (PTS). Methods The effects of total saponins of Polygala tenuifolia on oxygen free radicals were investigated by the methods of scavenging hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical and DPPH oxygen free radicals in vitro. The photoaging model of mice skin was established to observe the effect of total saponins of Polygala tenuifolia on mouse skin pathology. Results In the experiment of antioxidation in vitro, the total saponins of Polygala tenuiflora significantly scavenged hydroxyl free radicals (P<0.05, P<0.001) and superoxide radical (P<0.01) at 6.0 and 12.0mg/mL, DPPH free radicals (P<0.001). In the light aging experiment, the light aging model of mice skin was established successfully in group B (model + medium tea oil). Compared with group B, the density of the skin epidermis in D group (30 min before irradiation, 6mg/mL PTS) was thickened, the elastic fibers were arranged uniformly and tightly, the collagen fibers proliferated significantly and densely, and the inflammatory cells infiltration was not found. The treatment effect was most remarkable in group G (30min after irradiation, PTS 12mg/mL PTS), and the skin of the mice was thickened, the elastic fibers were evenly arranged, the collagen fibers had some hyperplasia, evenly distributed, and there was no infiltration of inflammatory cells, which had significant therapeutic effect. Conclusion The total saponins of Polygala tenuifoliahas significant antioxidant activity and anti - light aging effect.

Objective To explore the effect of chimera on acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after xenogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Methods Chimera was produced by exposing rats to sublethal total body irradiation and mouse bone marrow transplantation plus intraperitoneal injection of CTX. Mice were divided into three groups. Mice in group A were transplanted with marrow cells of rats without chimera, mice in group B with marrow cells with chimera, and mice in group C with C57BL/6 of rat marrow cells with chimera. Prophylactic effect on the model of aGVHD in the mice induced after xenogeneic bone marrow transplantation was observed. Results All transplantated mice showed typical aGVHD signs. Animals in group A developed typical aGVHD, and death occurred in 10-12 days after transplantation. The mean survival time of group B were longer than that of group A and C, and the signs and histopathological changes of aGVHD in group B were less severe. Conclusion Xenogeneic chimera can prevent aGVHD, alleviate its symptoms and histopathological changes, and prolong mean survival time. The prophylactic effect is specific.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the serotypes, drug resistance, and molecular epidemiological characteristics of non-typhoidal Salmonella in Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province in 2022, providing pathogenic support for the effective prevention and control of foodborne diseases. Methods In 2022, human-derived non-typhoidal Salmonella strains and food-derived strains were isolated through sentinel surveillance and food risk monitoring in Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province. The strains were subjected to serotyping, drug susceptibility testing, and whole-genome sequencing analysis. Results A total of 1 257 fecal specimens were collected for diarrhea surveillance in Chaozhou City in 2022, and 58 strains of non-typhoidal Salmonella were detected, with an isolation rate of 4.61%. Among 116 foodstuffs, 2 strains of non-typhoidal Salmonella were detected, with an isolation rate of 1.72%. Early childhood was the main age group for infection (14/144, 9.72%). The highest detection rate was in June (12/123, 9.76%). The 58 human-derived non-typhoidal Salmonella strains were classified into 12 serotypes, with Salmonella typhimurium being the most prevalent (44/58, 75.86%). In terms of drug resistance, 55 strains showed resistance, with a resistance rate of 91.67%, among which ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and streptomycin had the highest resistance rates, 76.67%, 70.00%, 67.67%, and 60.00%, respectively. Forty-nine strains were multi-resistant, accounting for 81.67%. From the molecular characteristics standpoint, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) divided the strains into 14 sequence typing (ST), with Salmonella typhimurium ST34 being the dominant type. Whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism (wg-SNP) evolutionary analysis revealed high genetic heterogeneity among the studied strains, with Salmonella typhimurium clustering together and showing close evolutionary relationships to clinical samples of Salmonella enteritidis. Conclusions In 2022, the non-typhoidal Salmonella strains from Chaozhou showed a diversity of serotypes, with Salmonella typhimurium being predominant and exhibiting severe multidrug resistance. Molecular typing revealed diverse evolutionary characteristics.

Objective To investigate the correlation between helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection with gastric muco?sa pathologic changes in chronic gastritis. Methods A total of 250 patients with chronic gastritis who came to Tianjin Union Medicine Center from November 2011 to March 2013 were collected in this study. Electronic gastroscope examina?tions, pathology and Urea-14C breath tests were performed in patients. There were 153 cases with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG group), and 97 cases without chronic atrophic gastritis (non-CAG group). The positive rate of H.pylori was compared between two groups. At the same time the positive rate of H.pylori was compared between different parts of CAG patients. The positive rates of H.pylori were compared between different pathologic features of chronic gastritis (active degree, the de?gree of inflammation, atrophy and intestinal classification). Results The positive rate of H.pylori was higher in CAG pa?tients than that of non-CAG patients (70.6%vs 35%,χ2=30.552). The positive rate of H.pylori was higher in antral and cor?pus atrophy of CAG group than that of antral atrophy (82.6%vs 65.4%,χ2=4.578). With the aggravating activity of gastritis, the inflammation, chronic gastritis, atrophy and intestinal classification, the positive rate of H.pylori was increased (χ2=200.643, 206.715, 73.286, 218.432). Conclusion H.pylori infection is related with chronic gastritis, chronic atrophic gas?tritis. And antral and corpus atrophy CAG is closely related with H.pylori infection.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of oral nutrition supplementation for maxillofacial tumor patients before operation. Methods: 60 patients who suffered from maxillofacial neoplasm were divided into two groups. In observation group, on basis of routine diet, oral nutrition supplements (Fortisip) had been added for 5~7 days before operation. In control group, only routine diet had been supplied. After operation, the two groups were all supplied with tube feeding. The blood routine test, plasma total protein, albumin, pre albumin and lymphocyte count were measured in all patients. Results: Every biochemical item reduced significantly after operation and no statistical significance was found between groups. But the absolute decreasing values had significant difference between the groups. Conclusions: Oral nutrition supplements (Fortisip) contains balanced nutrients and tastes well. It is safe and effective to use a nutritional supplement, being helpful to prevent malnutrition and to improve the immune function in perioperative period of patients with maxillofacial neoplasm.

Aim To express hepatitis C virus glycoprotein E (gE) deleting carboxy-terminal 31 amino acids, and detect anti-E antibody in HCV patients using expressed gE. Methods E gene derived from HCV H strain was inserted into baculovirus transfer vector containing a polyhedrin promotor. The recombinant plasmid was cotransfected into insect cell sf9 with a viral expression vector. The expression of gE was analyzed with Western blot, and the cells were used for dectecting antibodies against E1 and E2 in 35 hepatitis C patients by indirect immunofluorescence. Results A series of proteins with different relative molecular masses(Mr) could be detected by Western blot. Results from indirect immunofluorescence staining showed and only 4 patients were anti-E antibody positive gE was located in cytoplasm.
