This study was aimed to investigate active ingredients from A mp e lop s is me galop hylla of protein expression by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Methods: isn this study, proteinsfrom the tender leaves of A mpelopsis megalophylla were precipitated by Tris-phenol extraction and ammonium acetate methanol precipitation. Then using 2-DE technology to isolate protein.Finally, 2-DE was analyzed by the scanner, and got protein characteristic maps. Result:According to the differences in ratio of gray value, the seven differential protein points were chosen to identify the mass spectrum. At present, two proteins were identified, namely the hypothetical protein and the unnamed protein product. Conclusion: the application of 2-DE technology for A mpelopsis megalophyllathe active ingredient of protein expression at the level of molecular research laid a good foundation.

In order to provide scientific basics for exploitation and sufficient application of Dendrobium officinale leaves resources, the phenol-sulfuric acid method was applied to determine the polysaccharide content. The monosaccharides were derivated by PMP and the derivatives were identified by HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS(n) and the contents of mannose and glucose were determined simultaneously. Similarity evaluation system for chromatographic fingerprint of traditional Chinese medicine (2004A) was employed to generate the mean chromatogram and similarity analysis of the samples was carried out. The results demonstrated that polysaccharide content, monosaccharide compositions and composition ratio had an obvious difference between stems and leaves. The polysaccharide content of stems was higher than that of leaves. Monosaccharide composition in leaf was significantly different from that in stem. The polysaccharide from stems was composed of mannose and glucose, however the polysaccharide of leaves was acid heteropolysaccharide and was mainly composed of five monosaccharides, including mannose, galacturonic acid, glucose, galactose and arabinose. The similarity value of the 14 batches was above 0.9, indicating that similarity of fingerprints among different samples was high. The study can provide evidence for expanding the medicinal parts of D. officinale.

Objective To investigate the correlation of blood glucose,blood pressure and body weight with pancreatic cancer.Methods From January 2011 to December 2013,110 patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in our hospital were selected as the observation group and 110 agematched cases without cancer during the same period were selected as the control group.The percentages of patients with diabetes,hypertension and elevated body mass index (BMI) were analyzed in both groups.Results The number of patients with diabetes was higher in the observation group than in the control group (32 cases or 29.1% vs.16 cases or 14.6%,P<0.05).The proportions of pancreatic cancer patients with diabetes duration ≤ 2 years,2~5 years and 5~10 years were higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05).The proportion of subjects with increased BMI was higher in the observation group than in the control group (24.6% or 27cases vs.10.9% or 12 cases,P<0.05).The proportions of patients with diabetes combined with increased BMI and of patients with hypertension and increased BMI were higher in the observation group than in the control group (17.3% or 19 cases vs.2.7% or 3 cases,10.9% or 12 cases vs.2.7% or 3 cases,respectively,P< 0.05 for both).Conclusions Diabetes,hypertension,and elevated BMI can be considered as risk factors for pancreatic cancer,and it is possible that these factors are involved in the development of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To observe the adipose-derived cytokine changes and aggravate cognitive impairment in olanzapine-induced obese rats caused by glucose metabolic disorder.Methods 20 rats fed with ordinary fodder were used as normal control group,olanzapine group of 20 rats fed with olanzapine(1.2 mg · kg-1) and ordinary fodder for 4 weeks.Successfully established experimental model rats induced by olanzapine after 4 weeks.Serum tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukins 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) contents were measured by Elisa.Serum glucose contents were determined by biochemical colorimetric method and blood lipid contents determined with automatic biochemical analyzer.Learning,memory capacity and escape latency were detected with Maze test.Results After administration 4 weeks,the levels of body weight,blood glucose and blood lipid in olanzapine group were higher than those in control group.The serum TNF-α((1.57±0.04) ng/ml),IL-6((127.47±11.38) pg/ml) and CRP ((2.68±0.06) mg/ml) in olanzapine group rised,compared with control group ((0.59±0.03) ng/ml,(96.58± 8.77) pg/ml and (1.86±0.04) mg/ml respectively),the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Electric shocks and escape latency in olanzapine group were higher than those in control group (P<0.05).The FBS had positive correlation with hs-CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α respectively (r=0.385,0.260,1.280; all P<0.05).Conclusion Olanzapine can induce metabolic disturbance of blood glucose,blood hpid,and the increase of serum TNF-α,IL-6 and CRP levels in rats.Positive correlation is showed between TNF-of and FBS.Hyperglycemia can promote cell toxicity and leads to cognitive dysfunction in rats.

Objective To investigate peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells changes in the diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients before and after chemotherapy,and analyse the relationship between the results and treatment.Methods Collect the 47 patients venous blood of the effective treatment DLBCL by pathology.T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells were determined by flow cytometric.Analyse the results statistically significant difference before treatment,the second chemotherapy cycle and the fourth chenmotherapy cycle compared with 50 healthy control persons.Results The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ NK cells in DLBCL patients before chemotherapy [(70.04±8.87)%,(42.79±6.06)%,(1.68±0.59)%,(14.40±6.02)%]were lower than healthy controls [(63.89±6.67)%,(32.72±5.77)%,(0.85±0.25)%,(9.95±5.24)%](P < 0.05),and the level of CD8+ cells is higher than the healthy controls [(27.21 ±6.54)% vs.(39.92±7.11)%](P < 0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ cells had significant difference between the second and the fourth chemotherapy cycle in DLBCL patients (P < 0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,NK cells had significant difference between the fourth chemotherapy cycle DLBCL patients and the DLBCL patients before chemotherapy (P < 0.05).Conclusion The DLBCL patients exist immunosuppression before chemotherapy.Peripheral T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells can be used as good reflect of the cellular immune function in DLBCL patients.Clinical parameters can be used for the immune function monitoring and providing guidance for the treatment options.
