To examine the effect of Gankang Suppository on duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV), the serum biochemistry and hepatic histology in an animal model of DHBV infection, a model of DHBV infection was established by infecting 1-day-old Yingtaogu ducklings with DHBV-positive serum. The successful model was confirmed by PCR assay and 48 ducklings infected with DHBV were randomly divided into 3 groups: a Gankang Suppository treatment group, an acyclovir (ACV) group and a DHBV model group (control), with each group having 16 animals. All the animals were given the medicines for 4 weeks in a row. The serum of the animals was taken 14 and 28 days after the medication and 7 days after drug discontinuation. Real-time PCR was performed to detect the copy numbers of DHBV DNA in the serum. ALT and AST were dynamically monitored. The ducklings were sacrificed on the 7th day after the discontinuation of the treatment and livers were harvested and examined for inflammation and degeneration of liver cells by using HE staining. The results showed that on day 14, 28 after the treatment and day 7 after the withdrawal, the logarithmic values (log) of DHBV DNA copy numbers in ducklings of Gankang Suppository treatment group were significantly lower than that before the treatment (P=0.0092, P=0.0070, P=0.0080, respectively). Compared with DHBV model control group, the ALT level was significantly decreased (P=0.0020, P=0.0019, respectively) on day 28 after the treatment and on day 7 after the withdrawal. The AST level was also reduced on day 14 after the treatment (P=0.0298). Compared with the ACV control group, the level of ALT was lower on day 7 after the withdrawal (P=0.0016). Histologically, the hepatocyte swelling, vacuolous degeneration and acidophilic degeneration in Gankang Suppository treatment group were alleviated 7 days after the withdrawal as compared with model control group (P=0.0282, P=0.0084, P=0.0195, respectively). It is concluded that Gankang Suppository can effectively suppress DHBV replication, reduce the levels of serum ALT and AST and improve hepatic histology.

BACKGROUND: The study indicated that directed neural differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) was associated with changes in local micro-environment in injured spinal cord following cerebral ischemia, in particular neurotrophic factor induction. Group pre-test has confirmed that acupuncture can increase the expression of vadous cytokines and neurotrophic factors to promote nerve regeneration and repair.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of electro-acupuncture combined with BMSC kansplantaUon on recovery of neurological function in rats with spinal cord injury.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled animal experiments were performed at the Laboratory of Cell Biology,Harbin Medical University from March 2005 to July 2006.MATERIALS: A total of 80 pure healthy Sprague Dawley rats were selected. Eight were used for the isolation and culture of BMSCs, and the remaining 72 rats were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups: blank control group, cell transplantation group, electro-acupuncture group, and combination group. KWD-80811 pulse-type apparatus was produced by the third radio factory in Jiangsu Wujin production.METHODS: In vitro isolation and culture of the third passage of BMSCs were obtained and labeled by BrdU at hour 72 before transplantation, and BMSCs at 1 ×10 11/L were harvested for usa. Rat models of spinal cord injury were established in each group.Following model establishment, BMSC suspension was injected into the injured spinal cord near the junction of the gray matter and white matter in the cell transplantation group, totally 6 × 10<'5> cells. The same volume of phosphate buffer saline was infused into rats of the blank control group by the same method. In the electro-acupuncture group, at hour 24 after the successful model establishment, Jiaji Electroacupuncture Electroacupuncture instrument treatment was performed by pulse electro-acupuncture apparatus at 3.0-4.0 mm from median line in the upper and lower end of the spinous process vertebral body adjacent to open space for 20 minutes, once a day. In the combination group, rats underwent BMSC transplantation + Jiaji electro-acupuncture treatment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After transplantation for 3, 7, 14 days, neurological conditions were assessed by combined behavioral scores in rats with spinal cord injury. Glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron-specific enolase expression was measured in BrdU-labeled BMSCs by immuno-double-labeling method.RESULTS: 3, 7, 14 days after injury, compared with the blank control group, significant differences in combined behavioral scores were determined in the call transplantation group, electro-acupuncture group, and combination group (P <0.05, 0.05, 0.01).The recovery of neurological function was significantly greater in the combination group than in the cell transplantation and electro-acupuncture groups (P < 0.05). No significant difference was detected between the cell transplantation group and the electro-acupunctura group (P > 0.05). Compared with blank control group, spinal cord structure was relatively complete in the cell transplantation group and electro-acupuncture group. The structure was more integrity in the combination group. Bone marrow stromal cell transplantation presented the organization BrdU-labeled cells in the lesion and the surrounding area, with obvious aggregation and survival. At day 14 following cell transplantation, positive rates of neuron-specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein were respectively 7.2% and 1.5% in the call transplantation group, 7.9% and 2.1% in the combination group.CONCLUSION: The BMSCs after transplantation can survive in the host body. Electro-acupuncture could promote the differentiation of BMSCs into neural cells. Combination of electro-acupuncture and BMSC transplantation can significantly improve the motor and sensory function in rats with spinal cord injury.
