Objective To study the effect of anisodamine (654-2) combined with exogenous pulmonary surfactant (PS) on tumor necrosis (TNF- ?) ,structure of lung tissue changes during pig's lung ischemic-reperfusion injury. Methods 24 pigs ,approximately 45-day-old, were randomly divided into four groups: a control group,a 654-2 group,a PS group and a 654-2 plus PS group. The TNF-? concentration of every lung was analysed with ELISA methods at the point of pre-clamping right pulmonary aortery,post-clamping 60',90'(opening),post-unclamping 60',90',120'.Finally ,we examined the pathologic changes of the lungs. Results After clamping right pulmonary artery , TNF-? concentrations in every experimental groups were significantly lower than that of the control group (all P

Objective To study somatic cell embryogenesis of Acanthopanax senticosus induced by different concentration of 2,4D and type of explants,which provides theoretic evidence in protection of A.senticosus resources and genetic engineering.Methods Using 3-week seedlings and zygotic embryos(cotyledon, hypocotyls,and roots) of stratificated seeds as explants researches the effect of different hormones on somatic cell embryogenesis of A.senticosus. Results Explants of zygotic embryos of stratificated seeds cultured on MS and 1/2MS media containing 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D generated the highest frequency(57.1%) and the most number(3.3) of somatic cell embryos,which can develop into maturation in the initial medium.But it is more beneficial to generate new somatic cell embryos and to develop primary somatic cell embryos into maturation when transferred into 2,4-D of decreased concentration.And the deve-(lopment) process of somatic cell embryos of A.senticosus is similar to that of zygotic embryos.Conclusion(Somatic) embryogenesis of A.senticosus is realized by culturing explants of zygotic embryos and the inductive rate of somatic cell embryos is related to the concentration of 2,4-D and developmental stage of explants.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and mechanism of the aqueous extract of ephedra sinica on brain damage after subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)in rats.Methods Totally 50 rats of Sprague-Dawley were randomly divided into control group,model group and three groups treated with different concentrations(4,12,36 mg/kg).The changes of the cerebral water content,malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and hydroxy radical of brain tissue were recorded,and he-matoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to test the subarachnoid haemorrhagia and oedema,and immunohistochemistry and western blot were carried out to assay the expression of complement C3 in brains of different animal in different group 3d after operation. Results On the postoperative 3 days,compared with the model group,the content of MDA、GSH-Px activity and hydroxyl radical of 12、36 mg/kg treatment groups significantly reduced(P <0.01 ),the content of MDA of 4 mg/kg treatment group not change (P >0.05),but GSH-Px activity and inhibition of hydroxyl radical significantly reduced(P <0.01),and the cerebral water content of 12,36 mg/kg groups were obviously lower compared with model group.The expression of complement C3 was significantly lower on 36 mg/kg treatment group and edema reduced.Conclusion The aqueous extract of ephedra could significantly inhibit the activity of complement C3,prevent the production of MDA、GSH-Px and hydroxyl radical,reduce the severity of cerebral edema and the in-flammatory response,which has a better therapeutic effect SAH animals.
