Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of glycyrrhizic acid ointment on chronic eczema in guinea pigs.Methods Totally,60 Kunming male mice,60 Kunming mice and 60 albino guinea pigs were respectively classified into 6 groups:model group,ointment base group,dexamethasone group,high-,medium-and low-dose glycyrrhizic acid group.To observe the effect of glycyrrhizic acid ointment on the swelling of mouse auricles,dexamethasone and different doses of glycyrrhizic acid ointment were topically applied to both auricles of male mice in corresponding groups followed by the establishement of mouse auricle swelling model induced by xylene.One and a half hours later,the mice were sacrificed,and the weight of swelling auricles was weighed.Scratching behavior was induced by dextran 40 in Kunming mice following the application of dexamethasone or glycyrrhizic acid ointment.The latent period and frequency of scraching were recorded for every Kunming mice.To establish a model of eczema,guinea pigs were sensitized with dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB,5％) in the neck and back and challenged by DNCB (0.1％) on the inner surface of right ears once a week for 4 weeks;subsequently,both auricles were treated with dexamethasone or glycyrrhizic acid ointment once a day for 10 days.Then,the thickness of auricles of guinea pigs was measured,and skin tissue was obtained from the right ear of guinea pigs and subjected to a pathological analysis.Results The high- and medium-dose of glycyrrhizic acid ointment could suppress the xylene-induced swelling of mouse auricles (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 ).The latent period of scratching could be lengthened by high dose of glycyrrhizic acid (P ＜ 0.05).The three doses of glycyrrhizic acid all reduced scratching frequency in Kunming mice (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 ).Attenuated swelling of auricles (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01 ) and relieved pathological changes were observed in guinea pigs after treatment with glycyrrhizic acid ointment.Conclusion Glycyrrhizic acid ointment shows a therapeutic effect on chronic eczema in guinea pigs.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy ofXing Nao Kai Qiao (brain awakening and orifice opening) Needling plus mountain-burning fire manipulation in treating post-stroke limb numbness.Method Eighty patients with post-stroke limb numbness were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened byXing Nao Kai Qiao needling plus mountain-burning fire manipulation, while the control group was byXing Nao Kai Qiao needling alone. The sensory function and motor function (Fugl-Meyer Assessment, FMA), National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and Barthel Index (BI) were observed before and after intervention.Result The component scores of FMA (motor function, sensory function, range of motion, and joint pain intensity), NIHSS scores, and BI scores were significantly changed respectively after 1 and 2 treatment courses in both groups (P<0.05). The component scores of FMA, NIHSS scores, and BI scores after 2 treatment course were significantly different from that after 1 treatment course in both groups (P<0.05). After 2 treatment courses, the sensory function score, joint pain intensity in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionXing Nao Kai Qiaoneedling plus mountain-burning fire manipulation is an effective method in treating post-stroke limb numbness.

Air pollution and global warming are increasingly deteriorating. Large amounts of polyamides derived from fossil fuel sources are consumed around the world. Cadaverine is an important building monomer block of bio-based polyamides, thus biotechnological processes for these polymers possess enormous ecological and economical potential. Currently, the engineered strains for biological production of cadaverine are Corynebacterium glutamicum and Escherichia coli. We review here the latest research progress of biosynthesis of cadaverine including metabolism of cadaverine in microorganisms, key enzymes and transport proteins in cadaverine synthesis pathway, optimum pathways and cadaverine yields.

Objective To investigate the intra-splenic blood cell count of posthepatitic cirrhotic portal hypertension,and compare it with patients' peripheral blood cell count to explore the role the spleen plays in peripheral cytopenia often seen in posthepatitic cirrhotic portal hypertension.Methods A prospective study was made on 15 cases with post hepatitis B cirrhotic portal hypertension undergoing splenectomy.Intrasplenic blood was sampled from upper pole,hilus (central pole),and lower pole of the spleen respectively for blood cell count.Results were compared with that of preoperative peripheral blood.Results There were significant statistical differences in the WBC count between splenic blood and peripheral blood,(11.20 ± 4.73) × 109/L vs.(4.06 ± 1.75) × 109/L,t =5.05,P ＜ 0.05),and in PLT count,(182.45±66.57) × 109/L vs.(63.54 ±28.40) × 109/L,t =7.285,P ＜0.05.There was no differences in the RBC count,(3.55 ± 0.94) × 1012/L vs.(3.01 ± 0.62) × 1012/L,t =1.874,P ＞ 0.05.Positive correlations were found between splenic PLT count and peripheral PLT count (r =0.610,P ＜0.05).Conclusions In posthepatitic B cirrhotic portal hypertension patients the intra-megalosplenic PLT and WBC count are significantly higher than that in peripheral blood.Megalosplenic PLT count correlates positively with peripheral PLT count.

To produce monoclonal antibody (mAb) specifically against human thrombomodulin (hTM), an immune-tolerizing procedure was employed to generate monoclonal antibodies specific to hTM. Female BALB/c mice were first immunized with CHO cells following at 10 min, 24 h, 48 h by intraperitoneal injection of different doses of cyclophosphamide (CP) 2 times at an interval of 2 weeks, thereby tolerizing the mice to common epitopes shared between CHO and CHO-TM5 cells. Subsequently the selected mice with the lowest titer of serum polyclonal antibody by cellular enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (CELISA) were immunized with CHO-TM5 cells, which have stable high level expression of hTM, to produce antibodies specific to hTM 3 times at an interval of 2 weeks. On the third day after the third immunization, mouse with the highest titer of serum polyclonal antibody was sacrificed and spleen cells were harvested to prepare hybridoma cells with SP2/0 cells at the ratio of 10 to 1. Hybridoma cells were then cultured at 96 well plates for screening with CELISA. To improve probability to obtain specific mAb, CELISA was applied twice. The first CELISA was done with polyethylene ELISA plate with a monolayer of CHO-TM5 cells. The positive clones from the first screen were then selected by reacting with similar screening ELISA plate but having CHO cells monolayer instead. Only clones that were positive for the first screening and negative for the second screening were kept, and called as CHO-TM5 +CHO- hybridoma cells. BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally injected with the selected hybridoma cells. Ascites were collected and monoclonal antibodies were purified using FPLC, and its Ig class, subclass, and titer were then determined respectively. The specificity of the yielded mAb was identified with CELISA, flow cytometry, ABC immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Detection of CELISA showed that 100 mg/kg dose of CP could tolerize the mouse to common epitopes shared between CHO and CHO-TM5 cells. And CELISA also discovered that all hybridomas positive for CHO-TM5 cells were negative for CHO cells. Five lines of positive hybridoma cells had been obtained altogether and 2F7 was selected randomly for next investigation. The Ig subclass of the mAb 2F7 was IgG1 and the titer of ascitic mAb was 1?10-6. Furthermore, the content of ascitic mAb was 19.56 g/L and chromosome numbers is 98. Flow cytometry, CELISA and Western blotting assays demonstrated that mAb 2F7 could specifically recognize hTM expressed on CHO-TM5 and human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC). Meanwhile, the tissue specificity of mAb 2F7 was also identified by immunohistochemical ABC staining. On the other hand, Western blotting assays indicated that mAb 2F7 could recognize the antigen protein with 105 ku molecular mass under reduction condition. Moreover, the dissociation constant of mAb 2F7, 1.22? 10-9 mol/L, indicated the affinity higher than some others. The results suggest that the immunotolerizing protocol provides a convenient general method for producing antibodies specific to desired protein isoforms. mAb 2F7 can specifically recognize the natural hTM expressed mainly on vascular endothelial cells, which will potentially useful for investigating the functions and clinic values of hTM.
