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 observe clinical effects and safety of sequential therapy of Ginkgo biloba extract preparation for elderly acute cerebral infarction,and to evaluate its pharmacoeconomics. METHODS:Totally 98 patients with acute cerebral infarc-tion selected from neurology department of our hospital during Aug. 2014-Aug. 2015 were divided into control group and test group according to random number table,with 49 cases in each group. Both groups received routine therapy of antiplatelet aggregation, microcirculation improvement. Control group was additionally given Shuxuening injection 10 mL,ivgtt,qd,for consecutive 21 d. Test group was additionally given Shuxuening injection 10 mL,ivgtt,qd,for 7-10 d;and then given G. biloba tablet instead,1 tablet,po ,tid,for 21 d in total. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were compared as well as ESS score,ADL score,blood flow in-dexes and blood lipid indexes before and after treatment,and adverse drug reaction. Cost-minimization analysis was used for phar-macoeconomic evaluation. RESULTS:After treatment,total response rate of control group and test groups were 87.23% and 83.33%,without statistical significance (P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in ESS score,ADL score,blood flow indexes and blood lipid indexes between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,ESS score and ADL score of 2 groups were increased significantly,and whole blood viscosity,plasma viscosity,hematocrit,fibrinogen content,TC and TG were decreased significantly;there was statistical significance with before treatment(P<0.05);there was no statistical significance be-tween 2 groups(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). The average cost of control group and test group were (7060.9 ± 234.8) yuan and (5800.7 ± 149.5) yuan,with statistical significance (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The sequential therapy of G. biloba extract preparation is similar to intravenous dirpping in the treatment of elderly acute cerebral infarction in therapeutic efficacy and safety. The sequential therapy is better in economics field.

[ 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.
