Objective: To isolate and purify the polysaccharide from Cordyceps sinensis, and analyze its structure. Methods:Cordyceps sinensis was cultured by a liquid fermentation method. A water-extraction and alcohol-precipitation method was applied to ex-tract polysaccharide from Cordyceps sinensis fermentation liquor (EPS) and polysaccharide from Cordyceps sinensis mycelium (IPS). Sephadex gel chromatography was applied to isolate and purify the polysaccharide. The purity and relative molecular weight of the poly-saccharide were determined by a gel filtration method. The monosaccharide composition of the polysaccharide was identified by GC. The content of uronic acid was analyzed by sulfuric acid carbazole method. Results: The analysis results showed that the molecular weight of EPS was 78kDa. The content of polysaccharide and uronic acid was 94. 8% and 6. 0%, respectively. EPS was composed of mannose,glucose and galactose with the molar ratio of 4. 5∶8. 0∶1. 0. The molecular weight of IPS was 42kDa. The content of polysac-charide and uronic acid was 92. 5% and 4. 5%, respectively. IPS was composed of mannose,glucose and galactose with the molar ratio of 2. 8∶3. 0∶1. 0. Conclusion:Both polysaccharide EPS and IPS in Cordyceps sinensis are heteropolysaccharide.

Objective To explore the roles of insulin in the early treatment of acute brain injury and its administration methods.Methods 253 patients were randomly divided into the intensive insulin therapy group and the conventional therapy group.Infection rates,the short-term effect (APACHE Ⅱ assessment),and long-term efficacy (GOS prognosis) was compared between two groups.Results The results of the strengthen treatment group in the rate of infection (25.95％ vs 39.34％,x2 =5.17,P ＜0.05),the short-term effect (11.33 ± 7.66 vs 16.49 ± 14.97,u =3.42,P ＜ 0.05) and the long-term efficacy (40.46％,55.73％,3.82％ vs 25.41％,68.85％,5.74％,x2 =7.62,P ＜0.05) were significantly better than the conventional therapy group with the statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The hypoglycemic effect,neuroprotective effect,regulatory role,and nutrition role of insulin occurred in the early treatment of acute brain injury.After acute brain injury,patients with hyperglycemia should be treated early with an enough volume,continuous,and uniform insulin.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that intramuscular transplantation of xenogeneic umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s in a certain dose range is safe and reliable, and it also confirm that this approach is equal y safe and effective for heart failure in rats with dilated cardiomyopathy. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s through intramuscular injection on the cytokine expression in adriamycin-induced dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) rats. METHODS:Total y 160 rats were randomly divided into control group (n=20) and DCM group (n=140). Rats in the DCM group were administered adriamycin intraperitoneal y to establish DCM model. The DCM rats were randomly subdivided into model control group (served as model group), cel supernatant group, the low-dose mesenchymal stem cel group (served as low-dose group), the middle-dose mesenchymal stem cel group (served as middle-dose group), and the high-dose mesenchymal stem cel s group (served as high-dose group). Secondary injection was performed at 4 weeks after first injection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The ELISA test showed that the serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) were higher in the model group than the control group before and after intramuscular injection (P<0.05). After intramuscular injection, the levels of HGF, LIF, GM-CSF and VEGF in the low-dose group were increased significantly (P<0.05), which were significantly higher than those in the model group (P<0.05). The level of LIF in the middle-dose group was significantly elevated after injection (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in HGF, VEGF and GM-CSF levels in the high-dose group before and after intramuscular injection (P>0.05). Both the immunohistochemical and RT-PCR results showed that the expressions of insulin-like growth factor-1, VEGF and HGF were increased in al the DCM rats as compared with the control group, which were increased most in the middle-dose group. These findings indicate that low-dose and middle-dose human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s intramuscular injection can increase the serum levels of HGF, LIF, GM-CSF, VEGF and the expressions of IGF-1, HGF and VEGF in the myocardium of DCM rats.

Aim To study the therapeutic effect of hesperidin (HDN) on adjuvant arthritis (AA) in rats and its mechanisms.Methods Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) was used to induce AA in rats. Secondary paw swelling of AA rats was measured with volume meter. Splenic lymphocyte proliferation response induced by concanavalin A (ConA) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was examined with MTT assay. IL-2 production of splenic lymphocytes and IL-1, IL-6,TNF-? productions of peritoneal macrophage (PM?) were determined by radio-immunity assay.IL-10 production of PM? was estimated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The secondary inflammation of AA rats appeared on the 12th day after injection of FCA. At the same time (d 12), HDN (40,80,160 mg?kg-1,?12 d) were given to AA rats by intragastric administration. It was found that HDN(80, 160 mg?kg-1) could significantly inhibit the secondary paw swelling of AA rats from the 20 th day.The suppressed lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production of splenic lymphocytes in AA rats were reversed by treatment with HDN. Meanwhile,HDN could remarkably down-regulate IL-1,IL-6,TNF-? productions of PM? and up-regulate IL-10 production of PM?.Conclusions The results suggested that HDN had therapeutical effect on AA rats. Its mechanisms may be related to adjusting abnormal immune function in AA rats and keeping the balance of cytokine network.

Objective To observe the temperature-time curve of Shenque(CV8) salt moxibustion and explore the temperature starting mechanism of Shenque moxibustion and itsclinical significance.Method In the subjects treated with Shenque salt moxibustion, periumbilical and umbilical bottom temperatures were measured simultaneously and recorded using a two-channel temperature logger, and the temperature-time curve was drawn and analyzed to preliminarily explore its temperature starting mechanism according to the experimental results.Result Periumbilical temperaturemeasurement showed that the temperature that every cone of moxa produced reached more than 43℃and the maximum temperature reached 44.9℃. The time that 43℃or more lasted was (4.50±2.36) min. The time that 40℃or more lasted was (8.03±2.63) min. Umbilicalbottom temperature measurement showed that the temperature reached more than 43℃at the seventh cone of moxa on average and the maximum temperature reached 44.7℃. The mean value of the maximum temperatures at the seventh to tenth cones of moxa was (43.44±1.05)℃. The time that 43℃or more lasted was (5.53±2.13) min. The time that 40℃or more lasted was(18.44±10.39) min.Conclusion Shenque salt moxibustion has the property of repeated warm stimulations, which can avoid the platform period brought about by stable warm stimulation and promote the maximization of moxibustion intensity to effectively increase clinical moxibustion quantity finally.

Objective· To identify the effect and potential mechanism of gambogic acid (GA) on natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TCL) cell lines.Methods · SNK-1,SNK-6 and SNT-8 were incubated with various concentrations of GA for 24 h,and cell viability was detected with CCK-8 assay.Cell apoptosis was examined by Annexin V-FITC/PI staining assay.Levels of proteins regulating cell apoptosis and phosphorylation levels of proteins in key signaling pathways were detected by Western blotting.Results · GA showed a potent effect on reduction of cell viability of NK/fCL cell lines in CCK-8 assay.GA increased the percentages of Annexin V positive cells and induced activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9,cleavage of PARP as well as the reduction of Bcl-xl.GA also inhibited the phosphorylation levels of STAT3 in SNK-1 and SNT-8,and ERK1/2 in SNK-1 and SNK-6 significantly.Conclusion· GA induces cell apoptosis in NK/TCL cell lines SNK-1,SNK-6 and SNT-8.Anti-apoptosis protein Bcl-xl and signaling pathway JAKs/STATs and MEK/MAPK might be involved in this process.

Aim To investigate the effect of GW0742 on the endothelial dysfunction induced by high glucose
(glucose at 55 mmol · L -1 )in isolated rat thoracic aorta and its related mechanisms.Methods The end
othelium-dependent relaxation of acetylcholine was per-formed in the absence or presence of GW0742 at differ-ent concentrations under high glucose condition.The structure of aorta was observed by HE staining.Moreo-ver,the content of NO was also measured by nitrate re-duction method.The mRNA and protein expression were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and West-ern blot,respectively.Results Compared with the control group,acetylcholine-induced vasodilatation was impaired by high glucose.Meanwhile,the structures of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells were also in-terrupted.Furthermore, the expressions of PPARβmRNA and protein reduced while the NF-κB p65 ex-pression increased significantly which occurred in par-
allel with decreasing eNOS expression and NO concen-tration (P <0.01 ).GW0742 (0.01 ,0.1 ,1 μmol· L -1 )restored the relaxation of acetylcholine in a dose-dependent manner,and reversed the mRNA and pro-tein expression of PPARβ,NF-κB p65 and eNOS,as well as NO content (P <0.01 ).Conclusion GW0742 attenuates the injury of endothelial dysfunc-tion induced by high glucose,which may be,at least partly,mediated by the up-regulation of PPARβ,then the down-regulation of NF-κB,and the activation of eNOS-NO signal pathway.
