Objective To observe the effects of Shengqing Chinese herbs on the obesity and leptin resistance of diet-induced obesity (DIO) rats.Methods Wistar rats were produced a rat model including of 40 DIO rats and 10 DIO-R rats. The DIO rats were divided into DIO model group, sibutramine group, Jianpi Liqi group and Shengqing group, which were respectively by gavage of saline, sibutramine, Jianpi Liqi herbs (Citri reticulatae pericarpium, Aucklandiae radix, Aurantii fructus immaturus), Shengqing herbs (Bupleuri radix, Cimicifugae rhizoma, Puerariae lobatae radix), blank control group and DIO-R group were by gavage of saline. Their weight, were examined after 16 weeks gavage. Leptin and neuropeptide Y in the serum were examined. Leptin, TNF-α, and suppressors of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3) in the homogenized fat were examined. Results Compared with the DIO-R group, DIO model group's body weight, NPY significantly increased (P<0.01);leptin in the serum and homogenized fat decreased (P<0.05);SOCS-3 increased (P<0.05). After drug intervention, weight of each drug group declined. Compared with the DIO model group, Jianpi Liqi group's leptin in the homogenized fat increased (P<0.05). Shengqing group's leptin in homogenized fat increased, body weight reduced, NPY and SOCS-3 levels decreased, and better than sibutramine group and Jianpi Liqi group (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Shengqing herbs can reduce obesity and inhibit leptin resistance.

Objective To study the protective effects of ulinastatin (UTI) on canine islets isolated by automated method and to determine whether the addition of UTI during the in situ pancreatic perfusion process may improve islet recovery. Methods There was no significant difference in donor-related factors (age, gender, warm ischemia time, cold storage time, weight and pancreas weight) between the two experimental groups. Twenty donors were randomly divided into two groups. Pancreases were in situ perfused via abdominal aorta using cold hypertonic citric potassium solution (HC-A) 2 500 ml, group 1 (HC-A group, n =10). The pancreases were perfused with cold HC-A and UTI ( 10 000 U/kg), group 2 (HC-A+UTI group, n =10). Intraductal collagenase V (4℃) delivery with controlled perfusion was done, the pancreas was dissociated in system of Ricordi Chamber and their purified islets were separated with Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. The digestion time, islets remaining trapped in exocrine tissue, final islet purity, insulin and C-pep secretory activity, and islet recovery were observed. The purified islets were observed under light microscopy and electronic microscopy. Results UTI supplementation did not affect the digestion time, islets remaining trapped in exocrine tissue, final islet purify, insulin and C-pep secretory activity and their ultrastructure, and islet recovery was increased. In the HC-A+UTI group the yield of islets was [( 6.17 ? 2.86 )?10 4] IEQ, while in the HC-A group, that was [( 3.42 ? 1.47 )?10 4] IEQ ( P
