Objective To investigate the antitumor and immunologic activities of Laurencia extract(LET) in Sarcoma 180(S 180).Methods The content of total terpenoids in LET was detected by RP-HPLC and its toxicity(LD 50) was estimated by Horn assay. Tumor inhibition rates, index of thymus and spleen, proliferation of spleen lymph cells, IgA,IgG,IgM were detected. The data were analyzed by SPSS software. Results The content of total terpenoids in LET was proved to be 63.29%. LET showed low toxicity with its LD 50 more than 3160mg?kg -1. Tumor inhibition rates of test groups were significantly higher than those of the control group. LET could obviously increase the levels of index of thymus and spleen. LET increase the multiplication of spleen lymph cell.Concentrations of IgA、IgG and IgM in plasma of the test groups were higher than those of the control group. Conclusion LET rich in terpenoids is safety to be taken orally. The alga extract showed obvious antitumor activities and immunologic functions.

In order to explore the effects of Panax notoginoside (PNS) on the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and Smad-7 in renal tissues of diabetes, a rat model of diabetic nephropathy was set up by intravenous injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group, diabetic control group, group treated by PNS at low-dosage (PL), group treated by PNS at high-dosage (PH) and group treated by catopril (C), respectively. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), renal index, endogenous creatinine clearance rate (C(Cr)) and urinary albumin (UAlb) in 24 h were examined after 6 weeks. Meanwhile, the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad7 in renal tissues were immunohistochemically dectected. At the end of the sixth week, FBG, renal index, C(cr), UAlb were all elevated significantly in control group (P<0.01). The expression of TGF-β1 protein was increased while Smad7 protein decreased in renal tissue (P<0.01). However, the treatment with PNS reversed the aforementioned changes in renal tissues of diabetic rats. These results indicate that PNS possess a protective effect on the kidney of diabetic rats and it might protect kidney by inhibiting the expression of TGF-β1 protein and enhancing the expression of Smad7 protein.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Laurencia terpenoid extract (LET) on tumor inhibition,immune modulation and apoptosis of Sarcoma 180 cell. Method:The LD50 of LET was estimated by Horn assay. The models of S180-bearing mice were established and divided into 4 groups which were given LET 0 (control group), 25 (low-dose group), 50 (mid-dose group), 100 (high-dose group) mg/kg bw respectively for 10 d. Tumor inhibition rates were detected in treatment groups and control group respectively. To weigh exactly the thymus and spleen to calculate their indices. The proliferation effect of LET on spleen lymphocyte was evaluated by MTT assay. The apoptosis of tumor cell was assayed by flow cytometry. Results:The LD50 was more than 3 160 mg/kg bw. LET had low toxicity. The average tumor weights of the supplemented groups were all less than the control group(P

To study the identification of Gentianaceae Mongolian medicine Digeda with spectroscopy techniques, near infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry techniques were applied to study on the identification of 4 kinds of Gentianaceae Mongolian medicine Digeda, and characteristic spectrums obtained were systematically analyzed. In NIR study, the four species of Digeda exist some differences in 4 250-4 400 cm(-1) and 5 650-5 800 cm(-1) of one-dimensional spectra, and show significant differences in 4 100- 4 400 cm(-1), 4 401-4 900 cm(-1) and 5 400-5 800 cm(-1) of the second derivative spectra. DSC curves of them present distinct topological pattern, characteristic peak and peak temperature. Using near infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry analysis can realize efficient and accurate identification of four kinds of Mongolian medicine Digeda, and provide scientific basis for the efficient and accurate identification of other Gentianaceae Mongolian medicine Digeda.

Objective To analyse the clinical efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) combined with intrauterine embryo sac garrotte injection in the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), and discuss its clinical significance. Methods A total of 77 patients with CSP treated in our hospital during June 2013 to December 2016 were selected in this study. Forty patients treated with embryo sac destruction and methotrexate injection were included in the observation group, while 37 cases treated by uterine artery embolization combined with curettage were used as the control group. The time of vaginal bleeding, the time of postoperative blood level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) returned to the normal level, average hospitalization cost and the curative rate were recorded in two groups. All patients were followed up by the outpatient visit. Results In the observation group, the vaginal bleeding time [(22.1±6.7) days vs. (29.5±10.8) days] and treatment cost [(8774.2 ± 714.5) yuan vs. (15258.3 ± 1084.2) yuan] were less than those of the control group (P<0.001). There were no significant differences in the recovery time of HCG [(26.4±9.0) days vs. (25.1±10.4) days] and treatment success rate (87.5%vs. 91.9%) between the two groups (P>0.05). No bleeding or threatened rupture of scar were found in two groups of patients. Conclusion In this study, we take the embryo sac puncture combined with methotrexate injection in the treatment of scar pregnancy. This method has the advantages of low operative difficulty, definite clinical curative effect and low cost
