Objective To investigate the effects of human Rrain-derived neurotrophic factor-gamma fetopro-tein (hBDNF-GFP) gene-transfected neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation on BDNF expressions in the retina of rots after optic nerve (ON) crush injury. Method ①Seventy-eight Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly as-signed into a control group (n = 6) and ON crush group (n = 72). In the ON crush group, the right ON was crushed while the left NO was exposed as sham injury. Rats in the ON crush group were divided into three sub-groups: PBS group (intravitreons injection of 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffered solution); GFP group (intravitreous transplantation of GFP gene-transfected NSCs); and hBDNF-GFP group (intravitreous transplantation of hBDNF-GFP gene-transfected NSCs). Rats were sacrificed 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after transplantation, and BDNF expres-sions in retinal homogenates was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ②The hBDNF-GFP-NSCs were transplanted intravitreous into six rats after ON crush injury. Following this, two rats were sacri-riced 2, 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation. The survival and location of NSCs in host retina were observed by frozen section analysis. ③Adult SD rats were randomly divided into four groups: control group (n = 5); NSC group (NSC transplantation, n = 10); GFP-NSC group (GFP-NSC transplantation, n = 10); and hBDNF-GFP-NSC group (hBDNF-GFP-NSC transplantation, n = 10). Four and eight weeks after transplantation, five rats from every group were sacrificed. Western blot analysis was used to determine retinal BDNF expression. Results ① There was no significant difference in BDNF expression between the control group and sham-injury groups (P >0.05). Three days after NSC transplantation, BDNF expression increased significantly in the three injured sub-groups compared with the sham-injury group, (P < 0.05), whereas no significant inter-group differences in BDNF expressions among three injured sub-groups were observed (P > 0.05). Seven days after transplantation, there was a significant difference in BDNF expression between the GFP-NSC group and the sham-injury groups (P <0.05), whereas there were no significant differences in BDNF expressions among the PBS, hBDNF-GFP-NSC and sham-injury groups (P > 0.05). Fourteen and 28 days after transplantation, BDNF expressions decreased in the PBS group and the GFP-NSC groups, while BDNF expressions in the hBDNF-GFP-NSC group increased significant-ly compared with the other three groups (P < 0.05); ②Frozen section showed that transplanted hBDNF-GFP-NSCs could survive and gradually extended to all layers of the host retina. ③Westem blot revealed there were no differences in BDNF expressions between 4-week and 8-week intervals in the hBDNF-GFP-NSC group. Compared with other three groups, BDNF expressions in the retina increased significantly after hBDNF-GFP-NSC transplanta-tion. Conclusions The hBDNF-GFP gene-trausfected NSCs can survive in the host retina and BDNF expressions are stable at a high level.

Through the ethoxylation structure modification of three isoflavones which were genistein, biochanin A and formononetin in chickpea, the hypoglycemic activity and the synergistic hypoglycemic activity were studied. Ethoxylation structure modification was given on three kinds of isoflavones. The hypoglycemic activity of three kinds of isoflavones and their derivatives were studied. The synergistic hypoglycemic activity of the compounds was also studied. The insulin-resistance HepG2 cell was selected as the model of hypoglycemic activity screening. The results showed that four ethoxylation products were synthesized. And the hypoglycemic activity of genistein was better than biochanin A and formononetin with significant difference (P < 0.05). The maximum dosage of three isoflavones was compared with the positive drug metformin hydrochloride. And the effect was not as good as metformin hydrochloride. There was significant difference (P < 0.05, orP < 0.01). There was no significant difference of effect between the compound a and the compound d (P > 0.05). Effects of the compound b and compound c were not as good as the compound a and compound d. There was statistical difference (P < 0.05). The activity of compound d was significantly improved than the parent compound (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference on the hypoglycemic activity between combination 5 and metformin hydrochloride (P > 0.05). It was concluded that the combinations of compounds played synergistic effects with better hypoglycemic effect. It provided a basis for developing hypoglycemic agents with the intellectual property rights.

This study was aimed to establish a method for the content determination of three components in Tribulus terrestris L., in order to compare index components of different growing periods, production places and medical parts for the scientific explanation of the harvesting time and growing places. Contents of three effective components inTribulus terrestris L., which were quercetin-3-O-β-D-gentiobioside, isorhamnetin-3-O-β-D-gentiobioside and Terrestrinone A2, were determined by HPLC. The results showed that contents of three evaluation indexes all gradually increased until June and then started reducing. The contents in all evaluated indexes were in the order of the stem and leaf > fruit > root. And the content in the root was below the detection limit. The content indexes ofTribulus terrestris L. of the Inner Mongolia were much higher than that of other regions. It was followed byShandong,Hebei andShanxi province. It was concluded that the method was simple and accurate with good repeatability and stability, which was suitable for quality control ofTribulus terrestris L.
