Objective To study the effect and mechanism of taspine on wound healing and fibroblast proliferation. Methods The effect of taspine on skin wound was observed in vivo. The different concentration of taspine hydrochloride was added to L929 fibroblast cultivated in vitro, and lactate dehydrogenase was detected and MTT method was applied to observe effect of taspine on fibroblast proliferation. Results The local application of taspine 3 mg/Ml and 1.5 mg/mL accelerated the healing of skin wounded. In vitro, 0.01～0.5 μg/mL of taspine hydrochloride showed no effect on the change of lactate dehydrogenase activity and fibroblast proliferation. Conclusion Taspine is a kind of active alkaloid from leontice robustum which can enhance wound healing, its mechanism on wound healing is not by means of accelerating the proliferation of fibroblast, other mechanisms are necessary for being further studied.

Objective To quantitatively evaluate relative contribution of medical history,physical examination and laboratory investigation to diagnoses for medical outpatients.Methods In total,145 medical visitors to the outpatient department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) during October 10 to 16,2008 were recruited and followed-up for 12 months.Results Nineteen of 145 visitors (13.1%) were lost during the period of follow-up and diagnoses were established for 86 of them (68.3%)finally with medical history and for 20 (15.9%) with physical examination or laboratory investigation,respectively.Confidence index of internists in their correct diagnosis increased to 7.3 with medical history and to 7.9 and 8.7 with physical examination and laboratory investigation in average,respectively.Conclusions Most visitors to internal medicine department could be diagnosed correctly with medical history only.On the basis of physical diagnosis,selection of adequate laboratory investigation for them is critical to improvement of clinical diagnosis.

AIM: To investigate the protective effects of total of flavone C (TFC) on acute cerebral ischemia in mice and focal cerebral ischemia in rats. METHODS: The occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries with vagus nerves in mice was used for make the acute cerebral ischemia models. The survival time and the death rate were observed. The permanent occlusion of the proximal of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) was used for make the focal cerebral ischemia models. The extent of neurological deficits was observed, and the infarct area was measured by NBT staining technique. The activity of LDH and the content of MDA and NO in the ischemic cerebral cortex were determined. RESULTS: TFC of 80 and 40 mg?kg -1 prolonged the survival time and decreased the death rate of mice with acute cerebral ischemia injury. TFC of 60, 30, and 15 mg?kg -1 ameliorated neurologic deficits score and the infarct size of rats with MCAO. CONCLUSION: TFC provides significant protective effects against cerebral ischemia injury.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To observe the treatment effect and its immune regulation of human amnion epithelial cells ( hAECs) on Alzheimer’ s disease ( AD)-like pathology rat model.METHODS: The hAECs were isolated from amnion with trypsin digestion, and the phenotype of hAECs was analyzed by flow cytometry.SD rats ( n=48) were randomly divid-ed into sham control group, model group, medium group and hAECs group.AD-like pathology rat model was induced by bilateral intraventricular injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).hAECs (5 ×105) were injected into the hippocampus of the AD-like pathology rats.At 2 weeks after transplantation, the animals were tested by Morris water maze to observe the function of learning and memory.The pathological change of the brain was observed by HE staining.The expression of am-yloid β-protein 42 (Aβ42) and Tau protein and the level of acetylcholine (ACh) in the injury brain were determined by immunohistochemistry.The survival and differentiation of hAECs in the hippocampus were measured by immunofluorescent technique.The percentages of lymphocyte subsets in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed by flow cytome-try.The contents of serum cytokines were detected by cytometric bead array.RESULTS:Compared with model group and medium group, hAECs group showed shortened escape latency ( P<0.01) , increased frequency of going through the plat-form (P<0.05), reduced loss of hippocampal neurons, decreased expression of Tau protein and Aβ42 in the hippocampus (P<0.05), increased ACh level in the hippocampus (P<0.05), decreased percentages of Th1 and Th17 subsets, in-creased percentages of Th2 and Treg cells ( P<0.05) , decreased concentrations of IFN-γand IL-2 in the serum, and in-creased concentration of IL-4 ( P<0.05 ) .CONCLUSION: hAECs improve the cognitive learning and memory function and alleviate pathologic damage of hippocampus through immune regulation in AD-like pathology rats.

AIM: To investigate the effect of puerarin on diabetic myocardial damage and to explore its possible mechanisms in rats. METHODS: The male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group, diabetic group, high dose puerarin (160 mg/kg), middle dose puerarin (120 mg/kg), low dose puerarin (80 mg/kg) treatment groups and aminoguanidine (100 mg/kg) treatment group. Corresponding drugs were intraperitoneally injected once a day. The animals in normal control group and diabetic group were given equal propylene glycol. 12 weeks later, the rats were sacrificed and their cardiac muscles were collected. Myocardial structure was observed under transmission electron microscope (TEM). The blood glucose concentration and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), Ca~(2+)-ATPase, Na~+-K~+-ATPase and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in myocardial homogenate were measured biochemically. In addition, the mRNA expressions of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ), glucose transporter-4 (GLUT-4) and aldose reductase (AR) in myocardial tissues were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: It is observed that the myofibrils were diminished, broken or fused, some lipid droplets deposited in the cytoplasm of cardiocytes and part of cristae of mitochondria were broken or disappeared under TEM in diabetic group. The activities of SOD, Ca~(2+)-ATPase, Na~+-K~+-ATPase as well as the mRNA expressions of PPAR-γ and GLUT-4 decreased significantly (all P<0.01). The blood glucose concentration and the MDA level and the AR mRNA expression increased obviously (all P<0.01) in diabetic group as compared to those in normal control group. How-ever, in puerarin treatment groups, the above changes were reversed, a significant differences of those were found as compared to those in diabetic group (P<0.05 or P<0.01, respectively). The pathological change of cardiac muscles was relieved. It showed that myofibrils were well-arranged and only few lipid droplets deposited in the cytoplasm of cardiocytes and most mitochondria had clear and regular cristae under TEM in puerarin treatment groups. CONCLUSION: Puerarin exerts preventive and remedial effects on the diabetic myocardium, which may be related to up-regulating the mRNA expressions of PPAR-γ and GLUT-4, promoting glucose uptake and relieving oxidative stress damage.

Objective To observe the protective effect of total flavone of Camellia (TFC)against cerebral ischemic injury.Methods Decapitation method and close hypoxia method were used to observe the effect of TFC on anoxic tolerance of mice and step down test was used to observe the effect of TFC on learning and memory; after ischemia, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA)and nitric oxide (NO)and the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)were detected. Rat models with acute incompletely cerebral ischemia were established by means of ligating right common carotid arteries and effect of TFC on cerebral water volume, permeability of cerebral vessels and cerebral histopathological changes were also observed.Results TFC prolonged the grasping time after decapitation and the survival time after anoxia in mice, and improve the learning and memory during the step down test. TFC decreased MDA and NO contents, counteracted the de creases of LDH activities in the mice cerebral cortex, reduced the water volume and permeability of cerebral vessels in ischemic rats and improve the cerebral hitstopathological changes. Conclusion TFC has protective effects against cerebral ischemic injury and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of free radicals and NO production.
