Objective To investigate the effects of Acanthopanax Senticosus Injection (ASI) on free radical metabolism and apoptosis in the hepatic tissue after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods A total of 100 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a sham operation group, a model group, and groups of high-, medium- and low-dose ASI, 20 rats in each group. Seven days before modeling, the drugs had been given by intraperitoneal injection. The rats in the high-, medium- and low-dose groups were given ASI 40, 80 and 120 mg/kg, respectively, and the rats in the sham operation and model groups were given equivalent volume of normal saline. A rat model of hepatic ischemia reperfusion was induced by partial hepatic pedicle clamping followed by reperfusion. 2 h after reperfusion, the activities of SOD, GSH-Px, GST and the MDA level in the hepatic tissue were determined; the activities of ALT and AST in serum were also determined; the histopathological changes and hepatocyte apoptosis were observed using the HE staining and the TUNEL staining, respectively.Results In comparison with the model group, the activities of SOD (11.16 ± 2.31 U/mg, 10.63 ± 1.92 U/mgvs.7.34 ± 1.78 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05), GSH-Px (15.48 ± 2..91 U/mg, 13.23 ± 1.87 U/mgvs. 10.35 ± 2.04 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05), GST(1.76 ± 0.25 U/mg, 1.55 ± 0.22 U/mgvs.0.94 ± 0.18 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05) in the hepatic tissue in the ASI high- and medium-dose groups were significantly increased; and the MDA level in the hepatic tissue significantly decreased (4.67 ± 1.24 nmol/mg, 4.93 ± 1.53 nmol/mgvs.10.29 ± 2.41 nmol/mg); the serum levels of ALT(671.82 ± 338.37 U/L, 803.91 ± 441.63 U/Lvs.1 416.22 ± 538.94 U/L;P<0.01 orP<0.05), AST(329.02 ± 161.88 U/L, 417.26 ± 182.37 U/Lvs.751.93 ± 262.75 U/L;P<0.01 or P<0.05) were significantly decreased; the histopathological changes and hepatocyte apoptosis in the ASI high-, medium - and low-dose groups were significantly reduced.Conclusions ASI could effectively attenuate oxidative stress in the, improve the histopathological changes, inhibit hepatocyte apoptosis, and protect against hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective To preliminarily explore the expresssion of the Hedgehog signaling pathway (HH) after different liver trauma, and provide basis for the blockaded effection of HH and the potentiality of new traditional Chinese medicine exploition. Methods After adaptive breeding for one week, a cohort of 140 male SPF Fisher 344 rats were randomly divided into Retrorsine injection (R) indicated the toxical of chemical damage of liver, partial hepatectomy (PH) indicated the acute liver trauma, retrorsine/partial hepatectomy (R/PH) for the hepatic stem cells regeneration, and normal control (N) groups. The administering of retrorsine or placebo, and PH or sham operation were performed as Gordon’s matheds. RT-PCR, real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were performed to detect the expression of the constituents related to HH after liver damage. Results RT-PCR demonstrated that the mRNA expression of IHH, PTCH, Smo, Gli1, Gli2, Gli3 were all activated in primary liver cells after different kinds of liver damage. The results of real-time PCR analysis indicated an interaction effect existing between the treatment and the time in 3 Hedgehog-related constituents (signaling molecule IHH, indicators of the HH activation Ptc, Gli1) (all P<0.001). The protein expression of PTCH in liver tissue section was confirmed by immunohistochemistry, which differed in the duration in PH and R/PH groups. Conclusion The HH was abnormally activated during the different liver trauma. It’s maybe an important signaling pathway during the liver’s reaction after damage.

Objective To investigate the effect of triptolide (TP) on proliferation and apoptosis of cyst-lining epithelial cells with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease ( ADPKD). Methods Primary cultured cyst-lining epithelial cells were treated with TP at different concentrations for 12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h, respectively.The proliferation activity of the cells was evaluated by Brdu assay. The cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry. The apoptotic and apoptotic ratio were determined by FITC-AnnexinV binding/ PI. The morphological changes of cyst-lining epithelial cells were observed under transmission electron microscope. Results TP significantly inhibited the proliferation of cyst-lining epithelial cells and induced apoptosis in a dose- (10-40 ng?mL-1 )and time-dependent(12-48 h) manner. Typical ultrastructural changes of apoptotic cells were observed under electron microscope. Conclusion TP significantly inhibited the proliferation of cyst-lining epithelial cells and induced the apoptosis of cyst-lining epithelial cells, thus inhibited cyst forming and delayed cyst developing. The mechanism may involve several targets and pathways.

This study was aimed to optimize the extraction process of hyperoside from leaves ofAcanthopanax senticosusby compounding-enzyme method and orthogonal experiment. The hyperoside compound was regarded as standard and determined by HPLC. Based on the experiments of 4 factors including the enzyme amount, temperature, extraction time and PH values, the extraction process of hyperoside was determined by the orthogonal experiments and variance analysis. The results of single-factor experiments showed that different enzymes showed different effects on the enhance yield of hyperoside. The effects of different factors showed that the order of PH, neutral protease, temperature, time, pectinase, xylanase and cellulose was from strong to weak. Through orthogonal analysis, the optimum conditions were 2% pectinase, 2% xylanase, 0.5% neutral protease, and 0.5% cellulose, under the temperature of 30°C, extraction time of 10 min, and pH = 4.5. Under these conditions, the extraction rate was 1.84%. The yield was increased 107% compared with traditional process. It was concluded that the use of compounding enzyme can increase the yield of hyperoside, which possessed a lot of economic benefits.

Objective To investigate the possible role and significance of soluble programmed death-1 (sPD-1)/soluble programmed death ligand 1 (sPD-L1) in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus(OLP).Methods Thirty-six patients with OLP(20 cases of reticular OLP and 16 cases of erosive OLP) were enrolled in this study,and 18 healthy people served as controls.Lymphocyte subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD19+,CD16++56+) were examined by flow cytometric analysis and humoral immunity indexes(IgG,IgA,IgM,C3,C4) tested by nephelometry immunoassay.The levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 proteins in serum of patients with OLP were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The correlations between the level of sPD-1,sPD-L1 proteins and the immune status and clinical characteristics of patients with OLP were analyzed by SPSS 19.0.Results CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD16++56+ in patients with OLP were decreased compared with the normal value,while CD19+ in patients with OLP was increased compared with the normal value(P<0.05).C3 and C4 in patients with OLP were decreased compared with the normal value,but IgM in patients with OLP was increased(P<0.05).The levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 proteins in patients with OLP were significantly higher than that in control group[26.10(8.81,40.00) ng/L vs 17.65(0.00,26.10) ng/L,29.53 (21.47,36.76) ng/L vs 22.79(1.19,28.29) ng/L](P<0.05),but the expression of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 was not related with clinical characteristics of OLP.There were negative correlations between the levels of sPD-1 protein and CD4+T cells or CD 16++56+ cells(r1=-0.378,P1=0.007;r2=-0.365,P2=0.009),while there was a positive correlation between the levels of sPD-1 and CD19+B cells(r=0.482,P=0.000).There was a negative correlation between sPD-L1 expression level and CD4 + and a positive correlation between sPD-L1 expression level and IgG(r1=-0.286,P1=0.044;r2=0.365,P2=0.029).Conclusions In patients with OLP,the cellular immune function is low with humoral immunity function disorder.PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway,which might be influenced by the involvement of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 proteins in a certain extent,may play an important role in the immune pathogenesis of OLP.
