Aim To investigate the effects of antioxidant probucol on vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) apoptosis induced by H2O2.Methods H2O2 (1 mmol?L-1) was used to induce VSMCs apoptosis.The VSMCs were treated with probucol(100,10,1 ?mol?L-1) for 6 hours.For the evaluation of apoptosis,Annexin V-FITC staining,Hoechest33258 staining and the TUNEL assay were used.The expressions of ASK-1 and Trx-1 were detected by Western blot analysis.Results H2O2 could promote the apoptosis of VSMCs,increase the expression of ASK-1 and decrease the expression of Trx-1.Probucol could attenuate the apoptosis induced by H2O2 in a dose-dependent,down-regulate ASK-1 expression and increase Trx-1 expression.Conclusion Probucol can antagonize the apoptosis of VSMCs induced by H2O2.The mechanism may be correlated with a decreased expression of ASK-1 and an increased expression of Trx-1.

Objective Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) technology combined with Heuristic evolving latent projections (HELP) method were used to qualitatively analyze the volatile oil of fructus lycii (Lycium barbarumL.)Methods With the best temperature-programmed chromatographic condition, overlapping peaks among the total ion chromatogram were separated. Then an automatic mass spectral deconvolution and identification system (AMDIS) was used to identify volatile components comprehensively. Finally, the pure chromatographic peaks were matched with NIST 05a mass spectra library for giving the precise qualitative result. Results Totally, 29 compounds in fructus lycii (Lycium barbarum L.) were identified accurately.Conclusions Compared with the traditional qualitative analysis method, the new established method which GC-MS technology combined with HELP could get tremendous advantages. It not merely enhanced the accuracy of identification but also solved the bottleneck of handling the inseverable compounds.

Objective To study the mechanism of the protective effect of lycium barbarum polysaccharide on light aging resistance rats by using the metabolic profile and metabolic target analysis technique.Methods Ultraviolet irradiation induced Wistar rats were induced to produce skin photo aging model and 24 rats were randomly divided into three groups, including control goup, model group, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide group (LBP). After modeling for 24 hours, LBP group was conducted with Lycium barbarum polysaccharide solution of 10 mg/kg. Control group and model group were given same volume of stroke-physiological saline solution for 14 days. The biochemical indexes such as rat serum antioxidant activity of related substances and MDA were measured in model group and drug group; the urine metabolomics study was also investigated for the mechanism of lycium barbarum polysaccharide against light aging band.Results Compared with the model group, the LBP group rats total superoxide dismutase activity (301.51 ± 42.56 U/mgvs.93.41 ± 56.31 U/mg), hydroxyproline (8.91 ± 5.78μg/mgvs.4.74 ± 1.54μg/mg) content significantly increased (P<0.05), but the malondialdehyde (8.54 ± 6.41 nmol/mgvs.21.31 ± 6.58 nmol/mg) decreased without any statistics difference (P<0.05). The urine metabonomics results showed that LBP could regulate the skin photoaging of multiple metabolic pathways and key metabolic enzymes in the process, such as peanut four acid, tyrosine, taurine, citric acid and hippuric acid, L-cysteine, inositol, threonine etc.Conclusions In the process of skin photoaging in rats, multiple metabolic pathways in vivo were disordered, and Lycium barbarum polysaccharide could play a protective role by regulating the key metabolic enzymes in the network.

AIM: To investigate the relationships between antiproliferative mechanisms of probucol and protein expressions of signaling molecules ERK1/2, MKP-1, HO-1 and Trx-1 in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) stimulated with ox-LDL. METHODS: The effects of probucol on cell cycle, cell proliferation and the expressions of ERK1/2, MKP-1, HO-1 and Trx-1 in the presence of ox-LDL were observed by means of MTT test, FCM and Western blotting. RESULTS: (1) Probucol significantly inhibited the proliferation of RASMCs stimulated with ox-LDL. A value in 100 μmol/L probucol+35 mg/L ox-LDL group was reduced by 34.9% as compared to ox-LDL group (P<0.01). (2) Probucol protected against ox-LDL-induced RASMCs proliferation through inducing cell growth arrest at G_0/G_1 phase and cell apoptosis. (3) ox-LDL increased the expression of p-ERK1/2 by 34.7% (P<0.01) and decreased MKP-1 by 60.0% (P<0.01), respectively, as compared to control. Probucol attenuated the increase in ox-LDL-stimulated p-ERK1/2 level by 15.7%, but increased MKP-1 expression by 2 times (P<0.01). (4)ox-LDL at concentration of 35 mg/L decreased the intracellular Trx-1 expression by 28.9% (P<0.05), and slightly increased the level of HO-1 expression as compared to control (P<0.05). Probucol enhanced the expression of Trx-1 by 91.6% (P<0.01) and HO-1 by 31.9% (P<0.01), respectively as compared to ox-LDL group. CONCLUSION: Probucol inhibits ox-LDL-stimulated the proliferation of RASMCs through increases in MKP-1/HO-1 expression, suppression of cell cycle progression and induction of cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the composition and distribution law of TCM syndromes in gastric cancer. Methods Based on the multicenter and large-sample clinical epidemiological investigation, the four methods of diagnosis of and clinical materials of 767 cases of gastric cancer were collected, and the database of TCM syndromes in gastric cancer was establish. Factor analysis and clustering analysis were used to explore composition and distribution law of TCM syndromes in gastric cancer. Results Gastric cancer symptoms mainly included fatigue, weight loss, dizziness and other non-specific systemic manifestation, and epigastria discomfort, belching, fullness or eating just a little swelling, pain, acid regurgitation, loss of appetite and other local manifestations. At the same time, the red tongue, moss greasy, pulse fine or string and other traditional Chinese medicine signs were also included. Eliminating 92 cases with too little symptoms, 675 cases were under multivariate analyzed. 25 syndrome variables were selected after initial factor analysis, again through factor analysis 10 factors with eigenvalues more than 1.0 were obtained and the cumulative contribution rate was 60.5%. Through further K-means clustering analysis on 10 common factor integrals, it was found that when all the cases were clustered into 7 classes consistent with clinical practice most. The numbers of patients with the 1-7 type were 165, 82, 90, 79, 88, 95 and 76, respectively. Analysis on the main factors in the combination of professional knowledge, the 7 types were named as the syndrome of spleen and stomach qi stagnation (24.44%), the syndrome of qi and blood deficiency (12.15%), the syndrome of spleen deficiency (13.33%), the syndrome of blood stasis (11.70%), the syndrome of phlegm dampness (13.04%), the syndrome of deficiency cold of spleen and stomach (14.07%), the syndrome of incoordination between liver/gallbladder and stomach (11.41%) respectively. Conclusion The results of multivariate analysis suggests that the location of gastric cancer is in the stomach, and closely related to spleen, liver and gallbladder. The general pathogenesis is asthenia in origin and asthenia in superficiality. The deficiency lies in qi, blood and yang qi, while asthenia superficiality owes to stagnation of qi, phlegm and blood stasis.

Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis strain C500 is a live attenuated vaccine that has been widely used in Chi‐na for over 50 years to prevent piglet paratyphoid .However ,as C500 is obtained by chemical methods ,the genetic background of this strain remained unclear .In this study ,we compared the genomic differences between the virulent reference strain C 78‐2 and C500 by suppression subtractive hybridization combined with the mirror orientation selection method (MOS‐SSH ) .Six genes (asr ,ydgF ,ydgD ,ydgE ,rpoS ,and ptsG) were lost in C500 strain .Using real‐time PCR analysis ,we demonstrated that the genes regulated by rpoS ,a vital transcriptional regulator playing an important role in Salmonella infection ,were downregulated in C500 .Additionally ,the virulence of the rpoS mutant strain C78‐2ΔrpoS was 100 000 times lower than the parental strain in BALB/c mice .So loss of rpoS gene is the major factor leading to the attenuation of C500 strain .

Objective To investigate the significance of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis proteins 2 (cIAP2) expression in the patients with hepatitis B and non-hepatitis B related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods The medical record data and tissue samples in the patients with HCC resection operation were collected.Expression of cIAP2 in HCC cancer lesion,adjacent tissues and cancer-distant tissues was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting.Results In the cancer lesion,paracancerous tissues and cancer-distant tissues of the two groups,the cIAP2 expression amount was decreased in turn.But in the non-hepatitis B related HCC group,the cIAP2 expression in the cancer-distant tissues was significantly lower than that in the HCC cancer lesion and paracancerous tissues,while in the hepatitis B related HCC group,the cIAP2 expression amounts had no significant difference between the caner-distant tissues and paracancerous tissues,while lower than that in the cancer lesion.Conclusion cIAP2 is one of important mechanisms causing hepatic B related HCC and can serve as a therapeutic target point for inhibiting HCC development and eliminating hepatitis B virus.
