1.Regulation of SREBPs and its research progress in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(11):-
Nonalcoholic fatty liver(NAFL)is characterized by the hepatocyte steatosis and lipid accumulation,and is a clinical syndrome of unrelated to excessive alcohol consumption. At present,patients with the syndrome obviously increase in the whole world. Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are the key transcription factors of controlling the biosynthesis of cholesterol,fatty acids and triglycerides,and adipocyte differentiation. In this paper,the regulation of SREBPs and its research progress in the development of NAFL were reviewed.

Objective: To study the technological parameters of the purification process of total saponins of Rubus parvifolius L. with macroreticular resin. Methods: The adsorptive characteristics and elutive parameters of the process were studied by taking the elutive and purified ratio of total saponins of Rubus parvifolius L. as marker. Results: 19.3mL of the extractive of total saponins of Rubus parvifolius L. was purified with a column of macroreticular resin (R1cm?H20cm,dried weight 2.68g) and was washed with 100mL of distilled water, then was eluted with 100mL of 50% ethanol. Conclusion: With macroreticular resin to adsorb and purify, the elutive ratio of total saponins of Rubus parvifolius L. was over 79.2% and the purity reached 55.3%. So this process of applying macroreticular resin to adsorb and purify total saponins of Rubus parvifolius L. is feasible.

Objective To explore the preventive effect of Weikang granule on gastric ulcer and gastric mucosa damage in rats and its mechanism. Methods Gastric ulcer model was made by stress and pylorus ligature, gastric mucosa damage was made by feeding alcohol to rats. The effect of three different dosage on the rat model were observed. Results In the three treatment groups, there is noticeable resistant effect to the formation of stress and pylorus ligature gastric ulcer of rats. Weikang granule could protect the gastric mucosa from injury caused by alcohol, increase blood flow and content of PGE2. Conclusion It may be the potential mechanism that the prescription can improve the blood circulation of the gastric wall and increase content of PGE2.

Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2014;49(11):982-985
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of sodium valproate on lipid metabolism in children with epilepsy and investigate the potential mechanisms. METHODS: The body mass index(BMI), the levels of serum total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-C/HDL-C, apolipoprotein AI(ApoAI) and apolipoprotein B(ApoB) of epilepsy children treated with sodium valproate after different time were measured.The gene expression of PPARγ in children's peripheral blood was examined by Realtime-PCR. RESULTS: The epilepsy children's BMI, the levels of serum TC, TG, LDL-C and AproB were increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01) after treatment with sodium valproate different time.The liver function has significant difference between untreated epilepsy children and epilepsy children treated with sodium valproate more than one year. Sodium valproate could significantly increase the mRNA expression of PPARγ(P<0.05) in epilepsy children. CONCLUSION: Sodium valproate has effect on lipid metabolism in epilepsy children and the mechanisms might be associated with its regulation of the PPARγ mRNA expression.

Neurons descending from the griseum centrale mesencephali, nucleus Darkschewitsch and nucleus interstitialis of Cajal to the nucleus raphe magnus and adjacent reticular formation (nucleus reticularis gigantocellularis and nucleus reticularis pontis caudalis) were identified in 9 adult cats with the retrograde HRP method. In the griseum centrale mesencephali, the labeled neurons were found bilaterally but slightly more ipsilaterally. In the nucleus Darkschewitscb and nucleus interstitialis of Cajal, the labeled neurons were consistently found in its rostral part ipsilateral to the injected side at the level of the posterior commissure. In addition, in 5 of the 9 cases, a few labeled neurons were observed in the nucleus raphe dorsalis.

Objective To investigate the value of urinary calprotectin in differential diagnosis between prerenal and intrinsic pediatric acute renal injury(AKI).Methods A total of 68 cases with AKI were enrolled in this study,and they were divided into prerenal AKI group(25 cases) and intrinsic AKI group(43 cases) according to their tissue perfusion.The general data was collected,and the blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinie(Scr),BUN/Scr,potassium,fractional excretion of filtrated sodium(FENa),urine osmotic pressure,B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP),urinary calprotectin,neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL),kidney injury molecule 1 (Kim-1) were recorded and compared between the 2 groups.Results There were significant differences between prerenal AKI group and intrinsic AKI group in Scr[(439.0 ± 278.0) μmol/L vs.(603.0 ± 286.0) μmol/L,t =2.30,P < 0.05],BUN/Scr (20.58 ±5.62 vs.14.93 ±4.32,t =4.65,P<0.05),FENa[(1.5 ±0.6)% vs.(8.1 ±2.6)%,t =12.46,P< 0.05],BNP[95.6(54.0,109.4) ng/L vs.512.3(320.1,520.3) ng/L,Z =2.21,P <0.05],urinary calprotectin [20.7(4.3,42.4) μg/L vs.402.4(60.1,498.7) μg/L,Z=3.13,P<0.05] and NGAL[74.9(14.5,365.5) μg/L vs.684.2(56.2,1 502.5) μg/L,Z =2.35,P <0.05].Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that urinary calprotectin[area under the curve(AUC) =0.940] and BNP(AUC =0.909) both had higher value in differential diagnosis.When the cut off value of calprotectin was 240.6 μg/L,its specificity was 96.0% and the sensitivity was 86.0%.When the cut off value of BNP was 120.6 ng/L,its specificity was 92.0% and the sensitivity was 90.7%.The diagnostic accuracy was low in Scr,but moderate in BUN,Scr,FENa and NGAL.BUN,potassium,urine osmotic pressure and Kim-1 had no diagnostic value.Conclusions Urinary calprotectin may have higher diagnostic value in the differential diagnosis between prerenal and intrinsic pediatric AKT.It can be used in the clinical diagnosis as a reference index.

Objective A method was established for genotyping of hepatitis B virus (HBV A-D genotype),based on the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) created by Hinf Ⅰ,Ear Ⅰ,Apo Ⅰ action on an amplified segment of the S region.Methods Clinical diagnosis research.One hundred and twenty-eight HBV S sequences obtained from GeneBank were analyzed for restriction enzyme sites that would be genotype-specific.Restriction patterns following digestion with restriction enzymes Hif Ⅰ,Ear Ⅰ,Apo Ⅰ were determined to identify A-D HBV genotypes.The method was used to detect the HBV genotype of fifty severe hepatitis patients due to chronic hepatitis B in China.Then the detection results were confirmed by direct sequencing.Results The new genotyping method was established,named simple PCR-RFLP,which could identify HBV genotypes A to D.Genotypes B,C,B/C and A or D could be determined by a single step digestion with Hif Ⅰ.Eight patients of genotype A/B/C classified by single step digestion with Hif Ⅰ were conformed as genotype B variant by further digestion and direct sequencing.Extracted randomly and diluted into different concentration,three specimens were tested for genotype of HBV repeatedly and respectively.The results were all in accord with the originals,and the lowest detection limit of HBV DNA was 7 ~ 9 IU/ml.This was particularly useful in China where genotypes B and C were predominant.Twenty-three of genotype B and ten genotype C patients were classified from these fifty severe hepatitis B patients by a single step digestion with Hif Ⅰ through the simple PCR-RFLP method.The same results were also obtained by direct sequencing of PCR products (Kappa =1.00,P =0.001).The simple PCR-RFLP method was superior to direct sequencing in detecting HBV B/C polyinfection (9 cases and 0 case; x2 =18.00,P =0.001).Conclusions Both the sensitivity and repetitiveness of Simple PCR-RFLP method are satisfactory.It is superior to direct sequencing in detecting HBV B/C polyinfection,and simple,convenient.
