2.Heteroplasmy levels of mitochondrial tRNALeu(UUR) A3243G mutation and clinical features in a Chinese family with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome
Chinese Journal of Neurology 2010;43(5):322-327
Objective To investigate the clinical manifestation, biochemically detected data, and radiographic features of a pedigree with suspected mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome, and to explore the correlations between the clinical features and the mutant heteroplasmy levels of mitochondrial genome. Methods The personal details, histories of stroke-like episodes and seizures within the proband and 11 members in the maternal lineage of the family were collected. Routine blood examinations and plasma lactate levels before and after movements of these family members were detected, followed by cephalic MRI examinations. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and DNA sequencing were used to detect and validate the A3243G point mutation in mitochondrial genome, and real-time PCR were used to quantify the mutation proportion of A3243G. Results Typical symptoms of MELAS such as seizures, stroke-like episodes and hyperlactacidemia and atypical symptoms such as growth failure, exercise intolerance, fevers and migraines were observed on several members in the pedigree. Cephalic MRI findings performed during episode periods were in accord with the typical radiographic features of MELAS and cerebellar atrophy was commonly observed. Family members on the maternal side all harbored the point mutation on 3243 site in mitochondrial genome. Meanwhile, patients with higher heteroplasmy levels relatively manifested more typically and severely according to the clinical observation. Conclusions The pedigree is diagnosed with maternal inheritance of MELAS syndrome. The main cause can be attributed to a mitochonorial A3243G mutation.The mutant heteroplasmy levels of hemocytes in peripheral blood are positively associated with genetic relationship, seizure anticipation, plasma lactate data and other clinical features.

4.Effect of Ruanjian Xiaoying Decoction on the Relative Expression of Cytokines and Apoptosis-regulated Proteins Fas/Fasl in Experimental Autoimmune Thyroiditis Rats
Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2006;0(03):-
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of Xiaoying Ruanjian Decoction on experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) from the levels of autoantibodies, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-? and apoptosis-regulated proteins Fas/Fasl of EAT rats, and investigate the mechanism from the relation between cytokines and apoptosis-regulated proteins. Methods Sixty SD female rats of SPF level were divided into normal group and model group. An animal model of EAT in rats was developed by injecting thyroglobulin mixed with Freund’s adjuvant immunization and drinking periodate water. The rats modeled were divided into Chinese medicine group, western medicine group and model group. The levels of autoantibodies, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-? were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The level change of Fas/Fasl in the thyroid of rat was observed with immunohistochemical staining. Results Ruanjian Xiaoying Decoction significantly reduced the levels of autoantibody, interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor-? and lowered the expression of Fas and Fasl in thyroid cells. Conclusion Ruanjian Xiaoying Decoction alleviates the levels of apoptosis-regulated proteins Fas/Fasl by decreasing the relative expression of antibodies and cytokines in serum levels, which plays a role in reducing apoptosis of thyroid cells.

Objective:To study the in vitro bacteriostasis of water extract of humulus. Methods:By using double dilution method and 96-well plates trace broth dilution method, the inhibitory test of water extract of humulus was conducted on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The minimum inhibitory concentration ( MIC ) , minimum bactericidal concentration ( MBC) and the diameter of inhibition zone were determined. Results: The drug showed different sensitive degree on the test strains. MIC and MBC for Escherichia coli were 31. 25 mg·ml-1 , that for Staphylococcus aureus were 3. 91 mg·ml-1 , and that for Pseudo-monas aeruginosa was 125 and 250 mg·ml-1 . Conclusion:With the water extract of humulus as the research object, the study on the in vitro bacteriostasis effect of humulus scandens is closer to the clinical application form, which provides reference for the further re-search on the related preparation of humulus scandens.

Objective:To optimize the extraction process of antitumor active ingredients in fructus ligustri lucidi. Methods:Using fructus ligustri lucidi medicinal herb as the raw material, the extraction process of luteolin and pelargidenon in the herb was screened by D-optimal design. The extraction yield of different extraction processes was compared to obtain the optimal extraction conditions. Re-sults:The best extraction conditions were as follows:adding 12-fold 95% ethanol, extracting 2 times with 60 minutes for each time. Conclusion:The optimal extraction technology can provide significant reference for the further pharmacodynamic effect development of fructus ligustri lucidi.

The aim of this procedure is to reconstruct the defecation and urinary functions in paraplegic patients. In 30 patients, two normal vascularized intercoastal nerves above the paraplegic level were isolated and their distal ends divided. They were transferred to the vertebral canal through a submuscular tunnel. The sural nerve was harvested with enough length and separated into two segments, which were sutured as a bridge with S 2-4 nerve roots by interfascicular neurorrhaphy in patients with spinal cord injury above T 11 or with S 2-4 nerve roots outside of the vertebral canal in patients with spinal cord injury below T 12. After 2 to 11-year (mean 5 years) follow-up, 26 (86.6%) patients regained partial micturition reflex and defecation reflex, and partial sensation (S1-2) in buttock, perineal and vulva regions. In 23 (76.7%) patients had also recovery of the function of voluntary urination, and 8 (27%) of them showed partial recovery of function of the detrusor muscle, urethral sphincter, and anal sphincter. The results showed that the procedure described above could be used as an alternative method to reconstruct the function of defecation and urination, and also partial sensation of perineal and vulval region in a part of paraplegic patients.

Objective: To investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of polysaccharides from Radix Saplshnikoviae on the immune factors in rats with allergic rhinitis induced by OVA.Methods: Firstly, 0.3mg OVA, 30mg Al(OH)3 and 1ml saline were mixed and intraperitoneally injected for the initial immunization, and then 200μg OVA (4%) was given once a day by nasal dripping since the 15th day for the second immunization to establish the allergic rhinitis model.Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into the allergic rhinitis (AR) model group, the polysaccharides from Radix Saplshnikoviae (600 mg·kg-1, 300mg·kg-1, 150 mg·kg-1) groups, the positive (Biyankang, 400 mg·kg-1) group and the normal control group.After the 14-day intragastric administration, blood was collected from abdominal aorta and serum was obtained.The levels of immune factors and inflammatory factors in serum were examined by radioimmunoassay.Results: The positive group and the polysaccharide groups could inhibit the typical symptoms of allergic rhinitis including sneezing, nasal scratching and running nose in varying degrees, and alleviate the inflammatory reaction symptoms.After the drug intervention, the positive group and the polysaccharide groups could down-regulate the expression of immune cell factors IL-4, TNF-A, VCAM-1 and IL-5, enhance IL-12 and INF-γ expression levels, and suppress the generation and release of inflammation factors IgE, HA, LTC4 and PGD2, and the differences were significant when compared with the model group (P<0.05).The dose-effect relationship was not too obvious among the polysaccharide from Radix Saposhnikoviae groups respectively at high, medium and low dose, and the high dose group was best among them.Conclusion: The polysaccharides from Radix Saplshnikoviae exhibit curative effect for AR, which can down-regulate the serum levels of IL-4 and IL-5, up-regulate the serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-12, adjust Th1/Th2 lymphocyte subsets balance and body immune response and reduce nasal mucosa allergic inflammation, and the underlying mechanism may be related with reducing the generation and release of immune factors in AR induced by OVA.
