Objective To observe the effects of Jinghua Weikang Capsule on NF-κB p65 expression in gastric mucosa of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infected mice;To discuss its mechanism of action. Methods Totally 44 SPF KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, triple therapy group and Jinghua Weikang group. Except for the blank group, Hp infected model was set up by short term immunosuppression combined with peroral infection. The treatment strategies were triple therapy group with lansoprazole, metronidazole and clarithromycin for 1 week, Jinghua Weikang group with Jinghua Weikang volatile oil for 4 weeks, model group with sterile water for 4 weeks, and blank group free of any treatments. All the subjects were sacrificed in the 4th week after the treatment. NF-κB p65 was detected through real-time PCR and immunohistochemical method. Results The relative quantitative expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA were 3.27±0.53 in blank group, 2.18±0.50 in control group, 4.19±1.21 in triple therapy group, and 7.70±1.41 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=86.303, P<0.001). Compared with model group, the expressions of NF-κB p65 mRNA of other three groups increased statistically differently (P=0.004), and there was also statistical difference between triple therapy and Jinghua Weikang group. Through immunohistochemical tests, the values of NF-κB p65 mean optical density of nucleus were 25.18± 7.42 in blank group, 31.17±2.98 in model group, 30.06±4.69 in triple therapy group, and 26.94±5.19 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=10.960, P=0.012). The values of NF-κB p65 mean optical density of cytoplasm had no statistical difference (F=1.922, P=0.134), and the nucleus/cytoplasm values were 0.23±0.06 in blank group, 0.28±0.03 in model group, 0.26±0.04 in triple therapy group, and 0.24±0.04 in Jinghua Weikang group (χ2=14.527, P=0.002). The statistical analysis of the nucleus/cytoplasm values showed significance between blank and model group (P=0.002), while triple therapy group was still equal to model group (P=0.420). Jinghua Weikang group was lower than model group (P=0.022) and equal to blank group (P=0.750). Conclusion Jinghua Weikang Capsule can effectively reduce the expression of NF-κB p65 in protein level in Hp infected mice.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of pamidronate disodium on calcification in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (RVSMCs) induced by hyperphosphate.Methods RVSMCs were placed in various culture mediam, including normal phosphate medium (Pi 1.4 mmol/L), high phosphate medium (Pi 4.5 mmol/L), different pamidronate disodium concentrations medium (Pi 4.5 mmol/L+pamidronate disodium 10-5, 10-6, 10-7 mmol/L). Calcium content and cell protein content were quantified by the O-cresolphthalein complexone method and BCA protein assay respectively. Calcification was visualized by yon Kossa staining, and cbfα-1,osteocalcin were quantified by Western blotting. Results After culture for 3 days, calcium content in high phosphate group were much higher than that in control group, and pamidronate disodium groups had a lower calcium content compared with high phosphate group (all P<0.05).Calcium deposit in RVSMCs was greater in high phosphate group, while pamidronate disodium groups revealed obviously decreased deposit (all P<0.05). Protein expression of cbfα-1 and osteocalcin in pamidronate disodium groups was much lower than that in high phosphate group.Conclusion Pamidronate disodium can protect RVSMCs from phosphate-induced calcification in vitro, which may be associated with the blockage of transformation of RVSMCs into osteoblast.
