Objective To investigate the protective effects of luteolin on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods 40 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham group,model group,luteolin low and high dose groups.Each group was given oral administration for 7 days.After 1 h of last administration,the CIRI ( cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury) group was produced inserting 5-0 line into the internal carotid artery.Then levels of IL-10, IL-1βand TNF-αcontents in myocardial tissues were measured.Meanwhile,infarct size was detected by TTC staining and number of BrdU +and Nestin + were measured by immunohistochemical methods.Results Compared with model group, luteolin could significantly decrease the levels of TNF-αand IL-1βin cerebral tissues(P<0.05),improve IL-10 content in cerebral tissues(P<0.05),and effectively reduce myocardial infarct range(P<0.05).Meanwhile luteolin could improve the expressions of BrdU + and Nestin + in cerebral tissues(P <0.05).Conclusion Luteolin has beneficial effects on rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and improves endogenous neural stem cells proliferation.

Objective To investigate protective effects of polysaccharides from Platycarya strobilacea Sieb.et Zucc on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.MethodsForty Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham group,model group,Rehmannia glutinosa polysaecharide low,and high dose groups.Each group was given oral administration for 7 days.After 1 h of last administration, the CIRI (cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury) group was produced inserting 5-0 line into the internal carotid artery.Neurological functional score was evaluated according to the method of Zea longa's score, meanwhile,infarct size was detected by TTC staining.Levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity,malondialdehyde (MDA), IL-10, IL-1β and TNF-α contents in cerebral tissues were measured.TUNEL staining was used to assess the number of TUNEL-positive cells of the ischemic cortex.Western blot was used to analyze the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 in cerebral tissues.ResultsCompared to model group, Platycarya strobilacea a polysaccharides could significantly improve neurogical functions,greatly decrease the contents of MDA, IL-10 and IL-1β in cerebral tissues,improve SOD activity and IL-10 content in cerebral tissues,and effectively reduce cerebral infarct range.Meanwhile Platycarya strobilacea polysaccharides could enhance the expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 in cerebral tissues.ConclusionPlatycarya strobilacea polysaccharides have beneficial effects on rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, which may be mediated at least in part by the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

To prepare salvianolic acid phospholipid compound. With the compound of salvianolic acids and soybean phospholipid as the index, mono-factor experiment and orthogonal design experiment were conducted to screen its technical parameters. According to the results, the optimal preparation conditions of salvianolic acid phospholipid compound were that THF were taken as the reaction solvent, the concentration time was 3 h, the reactant concentration was 5 g x L(-1), the mass ratio of salvianolic acids and phospholipid was 1: 1.5, and the reaction temperature was 40 degrees C. The oil/water partition coefficient of the prepared salvianolic acid phospholipid compound significant increased in water and buffers with different pH values. The results of phase analysis such as DSC, XRD and FTIR indicated that salvianolic acids existed in phospholipid in an amorphous state.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the main reason of joint pain and dysfunction in the elderly in China, and its incidence is increasing year by year. In addition to the joint peripheral osteophyte formation and degeneration of articular cartilage, in?flammation, as one of the dominant pathological changes in OA, is causing more and more attention. Pro-inflammatory cyto?kines (PIC) are important mediators of inflammation. The increased level of PIC in OA can lead to systemic and local inflam?mation, results in further destruction of many kinds of tissues in joint (such as cartilage), and accelerates the development of OA. Besides, the severity of inflammation is closely related to the clinical symptoms of OA. Therefore, it is important to un?derstand the role of PIC in the pathogenesis of OA. From the perspective of the relationship between pro-inflammatory fac?tors and OA and the molecular mechanism, this article reviews the research progress in this field, which provides new con?cepts for diagnose and treatment of OA.

Objective To explore the risk factors in children with epilepsy and their effects on attack rate of epilepsy.Methods One hundred and sixty epilepsy patients(patient group,88 boys and 72 girls)and 150 healthy children(control group,72 boys and 78 girls)were selected.All children conformed epilepsy at the west China second hospital were consecutively included in the study for 6 months period.The range of age was from 1 month to 16 years[(7.0?4.7)years old] of patient group children.All children with epilepsy had no-causation seizure for more than twice time and were diagnosed by electroencephalogram.Neurologically normal children in same period,matched for age and sex,visiting the health care clinic were selected as controls.The range of age was from 2 month to 16 years [(6.3?4.5)years old] of control group children.The risk factors examined were febrile convulsions,head trauma,central nervous system infections,abnormal perinatal history,family history of epilepsy and parental consanguinity.The data of patients and controls were obtained from a questionnaire through personal interviews.Details on the patient,family history,and parental age at the time of childbirth were included.Medical records were then reviewed.According to the data type,the statistics were performed with ?2 test and the significance level was the P
