Objective To explore the effect of oxymatrine o n the airway inflammation and the cytokine production in asthmatic mice. Methods Forty BALB/c mice were divided into four groups in cluding a control group (group A), an asthmatic model group (group B), a dexamet hasone treatment group (group C) and a oxymatrine treatment group (group D). Ast hma mouse models in group B, group C and group D were prepared by injecting oval bumin (OVA) into the abdominal cavity and inhalation of aerosol. Group C were in jected dexamethasone, and group D recceived oxymatrine on day 15 to 22 .The numb er of EOS and the concentration of IL-4 and IL-5 and IFN-? in th e mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) were detected. Results Oxymatrine could significantly reduce the mumber of EOS and the concentration of IL-4 and IL-5, and increase the level of IFN-? in the BALF of asthmatic mice. Significant difference was fo und between group D and group A or B(P0.05). Conclusion Oxymatrine can remarkably reduce the mumber of i nflammation cells in the BALF, and influence the level of cytokines so as to imp rove airway inflammation in the patients with asthma.

Objective To investigate relations between villus Benzo (a)pyrene (BaP)-DNA adducts and blighted ovum in early pregnancy, and to explore possible environmental factors influencing embryo development. Methods One hundred and two pregnant women with blighted ovum were selected into this study as research group; and 102 normal pregnant women were taken as control group; the age, gravidity, parity and gestational weeks of the two groups were matched. After artificial abortion, villi of the patients were collected and washed by normal saline. Then, the tissue was homogenated and genome DNA was extracted to detect quantity of the tissue. BaP-DNA adducts levels were examined by high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence method (HPLC). The personal information of pregnant women was collected by questionnaire. Logistic regression model was used to investigate the association between BaP-DNA adducts and blighted ovum. Results BaP-DNA adducts level in villi of research group [(8. 9±8. 2) adducts/108 nucleotides] was significantly higher than that of control group [(2. 0±1. 4) adducts/108 nucleotides], P<0.05. The higher the BaP-DNA adducts in villi, the higher risk the blighted ovum; when the BaP-DNA adducts level increased to 6.06 adducts/108 nucleotides, the risk of blighted ovum might increase 59.39 times (95% CI:15.50-227.55). Maternal education level was a protective factor (OR=-0.21, 95%CI:-0. 19--0.03) after controlling potential confounders. Conclusions High level of villi BaP-DNA adducts might increase the risk of blighted ovum in early pregnancy, and could have an adverse effect on embryo development.

Objective:To compare the newborn piglet models of hypoxic ischemic brain damage in hypoxia and hypoxia combined with occlusion of both carotid arteries. Methods: Twenty four 7-day-old piglets were divided into two groups. Group H: mechanical ventilation with low concentration of oxygen,Group HI; mechanical ventilation with low concentration of oxygen combined with occlusion of both carotid arteries. The piglets were inhaled with 10%, 8%, and 6% low-concentration oxygen for 30 min, and grouped into mild, moderate, and severe hypoxia ones. The changes of physiological parameter, cerebral blood flow and cerebral oxygen perfusion were detected. Results: There were no significant differences in blood gas analysis of oxygen saturation, blood lactic acid and pH between the two groups(P>0. 05) . The mean arterial pressure of severe hypoxia in HI was significantly lower than in H(P<0.05). The cerebral blood flow in H and HI was relatively stable after different degrees of hypoxia. As compared with the cerebral blood flow perfusion in group H and HI, there were no significant differences between them ( P>0. 05). The cerebral oxygen perfusion in H and HI was significantly descent after different degrees of hypoxia (P< 0.05). As compared with the cerebral oxygen perfusion in groups H and HI, there were no significant differences between them. Conclusion: H and HI have the same effect on physiological parameter, cerebral volume and cerebral oxygen perfusion of newborn piglets. The mechanical ventilation with low concentration of oxygen to newborn piglets can develop the HIBD model, it is not necessary to occlude carotid arteries.
