Objective:To evaluate the effect of agar-oliogsaccharides (mainly containing agarobiose) on blood glucose level and oxidation-antioxidation status in alloxan-induced diabetic mice. Method: The inhibitory activity of agarobiose on ?-glucosidase was investigated. Alloxan was used to establish non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice model. After 14 d administration of agarobiose, blood glucose, MDA, SOD, GSH and GSH-Px levels were determined. Results:Agarobiose showed inhibitory activity on ?-glucosidase with IC50=1.39 mg/ml, Ki=0.52 mg/ml. In a certain concentration (200-400 mg/kg bw), agaro-oligosaccha- rides reduced the blood glucose level remarkably, and the oxidative indices were also improved in heart, liver, lung and brain. The blood glucose level (P

Objective:To observe the influence of erythropoietin (EPO)combined adjuvant iron treatment on cardiac function,exercise capacity and anemia in patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF)complicated anemia.Methods:A total of 94 DHF + anemia patients were randomly divided into routine treatment group (n=46)and combined treatment group (n=48,received EPO combined adjuvant iron treatment based on routine treatment).Patients re-ceived 6min walking test,levels of hemoglobin (Hb)and N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), transmitral early diastolic peak velocity deceleration time (DT),early diastolic peak flow velocity (E),late diastolic peak flow velocity (A)and E/A etc.were measured and compared between two groups before and after six-month treatment.Results:Compared with before treatment,after treatment,NT-proBNP and DT significantly reduced, E/A and 6min walking distance significantly rose in both groups,P <0.05 or <0.01;compared with routine treat-ment group after treatment,there were significant reductions in NT-proBNP level [(368.4±110.7)pg/ml vs.(239 ±89.7)pg/ml]and DT [(257.5±73.4)ms vs.(208.9±59.1)ms],and significant rise in Hb level [(83.3±9.2) g/L vs.(122.1±13.6)g/L],E/A [(0.87±0.3)vs.(1.07±0.27)]and 6min walking distance [(367.54±21.08) m vs.(438.63±20.35)m]in combined treatment group,P <0.05 all.Conclusion:Erythropoietin combined iron treatment can better improve heart function and exercise capacity in patients with diastolic heart failure complicated anemia.

This study is designed to investigate the anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis mechanism of carrageenan oligosaccharides. The effects of carrageenan oligosaccharides on basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) induced cell proliferation, heparanase activity and bFGF binding ability were evaluated in human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Results indicate that, at rational concentrations, carrageenan oligosaccharides showed low cytotoxic effect. At relatively low concentrations (0.2-200 microg x mL(-1)), these oligosaccharides could competitively bind bFGF and inhibit bFGF induced cell proliferation. In these samples, oligo-lambda-carrageenans (dp2-8) were the most potent bFGF antagonists. At concentration of 20 microg x mL(-1), their inhibitory ratio reached to 30%. The heparanase enzyme assay revealed that three kinds of carrageenan oligosaccharides showed different inhibitory activities to two cell lines. For HeLa cell, oligo-lambda-carrageenans showed highest inhibitory effect, but for HUVEC, oligo-kappa-carrageenans (dp9-17) were the best inhibitors. Current observations demonstrated that the biological activities of carrageenan oligosaccharides are closely related to the molecular weight, carbohydrate structure and the content and linking position of sulfur groups. Carrageenan oligosaccharides with high sulfate fraction, 2-8 units saccharide size and suitable molecular structure are able to achieve potent heparin sulfate-like compounds.

The essence of thinking was the procedure for processing information by knowledge in the frame of world view,which depending on the world view and the existing knowledge and information.The characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) thinking was reflected by its unique world view.The world view of TCM thinking was natural view,holism concept and dialectic view,compared with modern scientific thinking mostly in reduction analysis.To develop TCM,the modern TCM thinking system was established through the reforming and innovating of TCM thinking characteristic based on preservation and promotion of them.

Objective To study clinical effects of lavage treatment for inflammatory breast diseases guided by color Doppler sonography.Methods The lesions of 63 patients with inflammatory breast diseases (30 of breast abscess,20 of plasma cell mastitis,13 of breast chronic sinus)were positioned by color Doppler sonography.Surgical debridement and lavage catheter treatment were performed under general anesthesia.Results 54 patients were healed by first intention,and they were satisfied with their breast shapes.4cases of mammary abscess,3cases of plasma cell mastitis and 2 cases of breast chronic sinus had relapse within half a month.Conclusions Color Doppler sonography guided lavage treatment of inflammatory breast diseases is simple with significant healing effect,fast recovery speed,less recurrence and high cure rate.The operation had little pain to patients and small hidden postoperative scar.The breast shapes are nice-looking.

Objective Agaro-oligosaccharides have been proved to possess the antioxidative ability in vitro. This work focus on the preparation of agaro-oligosaccharides and their antioxidant effect in vivo. Method Agaro-oligosaccharides were hydrolytically obtained and the activated carbon column was used to purify the oligosaccharides. The antioxidative effects of the 10 % ethanol eluted fraction on tissue peroxidative damage induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4) was also investigated in rat. Result Agarobiose of high purity was consequently eluted from chromatography in the fractions of 5 % and 8 % ethanol, agarotetraose and agarohexaose in 10 % to 15 % ethanol, as well as high degree of polymerization (DP) oligosaccharides in 25 % ethanol. The antioxidative results indicated that agaro-oligosaccharides could elevate the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and decrease the level of MDA, GPT, GOT significantly. At a dose of 400 mg?kg~ -1, MDA level was reduced 44 % and 21 % in liver and heart, the activities of SOD and GSH-Px would amount to the peak value in liver and serum, while GPT level was decreased 22 % in serum. Conclusion The purity of agaro-oligosaccharides with different range of DPs was improved by activated carbon column, which possesses the property of different absorbance ability towards oligosaccharides with various DPs and high isolating capability. The animal test also indicated that agaro-oligosaccharides could inhibit the oxidative damage in vivo.

The glutathione peroxidase cDNA has been acquired by reverse transcriplate-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). mRNA was isolated from the culture liver cancer cells firstly, then trancriplate if into cDNA with AMV reverse transcriptase. By using this cDNA as PCR template and two synthetic special primers, we get about 600 bp DNA fragment after 35 circles. The result is identical with our expectation.
