Objective To investigate the optimal centrifugation conditions for preparation of rat and mouse platelet rich plasma (PRP) by single centrifugation.Methods Arterial blood of rats and mice by femoral artery cannulation and cardiac puncture were obtained respectively, anticoagulation with 14%CPDA-1, while white blood cells in the blood were filtered out.Then the blood was divided into sterile EP tubes, while PRP was prepared by centrifugation in different conditions (the centrifugal force was 300×g-600×g, and the centrifugal time was 4-12min).The number of blood cells of the anticoagulant whole blood, the leukocyte-depleted blood sample and PRP were counted by hematology analyzer, and platelet recovery rates were compared between different methods.Results The platelet recovery rate was highest when the blood samples of rats and mice were centrifuged at 400×g and 300×g for 8min respectively.Conclusion It is a key to prepare PRP by single centrifugation that selecting the appropriate centrifugal force and time and reaching a critical state before the formation of the buffy coat.

This article reviews relevant literature on the prevention and treatment of cancer with hesperidin published in the past 10 years by searching electronic databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Wanfang, and PubMed, and summarizes the research progress on the anticancer mechanism of hesperidin. Hesperidin has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, immune-regulatory, anti-radiation, neuroprotective and cardiovascular protective properties and so on. Its anticancer mechanisms mainly include inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, reducing angiogenesis, inhibiting invasion and migration of cancer cells, regulating immunity and autophagy, and exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. As a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, hesperidin manifests chemo-preventive and therapeutic effects across various cancers, contingent upon its multifaceted anticancer mechanisms. Furthermore, this article summarizes the synergistic effects of hesperidin in combination with cisplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel. It elucidates that hesperidin can enhance the cytotoxicity of these anticancer drugs against cancer cells while mitigating drug resistance and adverse side effects. Nonetheless, the clinical use is somewhat constrained due to its poor water solubility and limited bioavailability. Therefore, this article also outlines the current strategies for enhancing hesperidin's bioavailability, including structural modification, combination with other chemical substances, and utilization of nano drug carriers.The discovery of derivatives of hesperidin not only preserves the anticancer efficacy of hesperidin, but also effectively overcomes the shortcomings of poor water solubility and low bioavailability of hesperidin, effectively predicting the good application prospects of hesperidin and its derivatives.
