Objective A method was developed for determination of the total triterpene glycosides in different sea cucumbers.Methods A holostane triterpene glycoside called Echinoside A was taken as the reference standard.Triterpene glycosides were reacted with vanillin and perchloric acid.The sea cucumbers were extracted by 60% ethanol and partitioned between water and n-butanol to gain the total triterpene glycosides.The contents of total triterpene glycosides in 11 kinds of sea cucumbers were determined with the standard curve.And the relationships of the triterpene glycosides content among different sea cucumber species,growth environment,process technique,etc.were discussed by the value of TG/P(triterpene glycosides content /protein content).Results The determination wavelength was confirmed to be 560nm and the standard curve was determined as y-1.3414x-0.0077.The ab-sorbance was of a good linearity in the mass range of 0-0.5mg with R2 =0.9994.The recovery of this method was(99.01?2.82)% and the relative standard deviation was 4.68%.Conclusion The method has been proved to be convenient,reliable and suitable for the analysis of triterpene glycosides in sea cucumbers.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sofren injection on acute lung injury (ALI) in septic mice.Methods Ninety-six pathogen-free made Kunming mice,aged 8-10 weeks,weighing 30-35 g,were divided into 4 groups (n =24 each) using a randon number table:sham operation group (group Sham),ALI group,vehicle group (group Vehicle) and sofren injection group (group Sofren).Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture.In Vehicle and Sofren groups,double distilled water and sofren injection 4 ml/kg were intraperitoneally injected,respectively,after the model was established,followed by repeated admninistration once every 12 h.At 12,24 and 48 h after operation,the animals were sacrificed and lungs were removed for mnicroscopic examination and for determination of wet to dry weight ratio (W/D ratio),malondialdehyde (MDA) content,superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity,and contents of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in lung tissues (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).The lung injury score (LIS) was calculated after haematoxylin and eosin staining.Results Compared with group Sham,the LIS,W/D ratio and contents of MDA,TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly increased,and the SOD activity was decreased at each time point in ALI and Vehicle groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group ALI,the LIS,W/D ratio and contents of MDA,TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly decreased,and the SOD activity was increased at each time point in group Sofren (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in each parameter mentioned above in group Vehicle (P＞0.05).Conclusion Sofren injection can attenuate ALI in septic mice.

Objective To investigate the effects of adenosine supplementing cold blood cardioplegia on myocardial injury in patients undergoing milral valve replacement(MVR).Methods Thirty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 18-64 yr with a BMI of 18-24 kg/m2 undergoing elective MVR were randomly divided into 2 groups(n =15each):control group(C)and adenosine group(A).In group A myocardial arrest was produced by infusing adenosine 6 mg diluted in normal saline 20 ml through aortic root after aorta was cross-clamped followed by cold blood cardiaplegic solution 20 mg/kg.In group C asystole was produced with cold blood cardioplegic solution 20 ml/kg alone every 30 min.Blood samples were taken from central vein at 5 min before(T1)and 4 h after aortic crossclamping(T2)and 24 h after operation(T3)for determination of plasma cardiac troponin Ⅰ(cTnI)concentration and creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB)activity.The amount of cardioplegic solution infused,cardiac arrest induction time(from infusion of adenosine or cardioplegic solution to asystole shown by ECG),restoration of spontaneous heartbeat,the amount of dopamine administered during the 2 h after CPB and aortic cross-clamping time were recorded.Results Supplementation of cold blood cardioplegia with adenosine significantly reduced cardiac arrest induction time,the total amount of dopamine administered during the 2 h after CPB and plasma cTnl concentration and CK-MB activity in group A compared with group C.Conclusion Cold blood cardioplegia supplemented with adenosine can attenuate myocardial injury in patients undergoing MVR.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) and stromal cell de-rived factor-1 (SDF-1) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and adjacent tissues, and to provide the basis for clinical diagno-sis and prognosis evaluation. Methods The expressions of TFF3 and SDF-1 proteins in PTC and adjacent tissues were de-tected by immunohistochemical SP method. The relationship between expressions of TFF3, SDF-1 and clinicopathological features was analyzed. Results (1) The positive rate and the expression level of TFF3 protein were significantly higher in PTC than those in adjacent tissues, which were higher in patients with lymph node metastasis than those in patients without lymph nodes metastasis, and were higher in PTC patients of stageⅢ/Ⅳthan those in patients of stageⅠ/Ⅱ(P＜0.05). The strong positive rate of TFF3 protein in stageⅢ/Ⅳof PTC patients was higher than that in stageⅠ/Ⅱ(P＜0.01). (2) The posi-tive rate and the expression level of SDF-1 protein were significantly higher in PTC than those in adjacent tissues, which were higher in patients with lymph node metastasis than those in patients without lymph nodes metastasis, and were higher in PTC patients of stageⅢ/Ⅳthan those in patients of stageⅠ/Ⅱ, and were significantly higher in patients over 45 years old than those of patients≤45 years old (P＜0.05). (3) There was a positive correlation between expression levels of TFF3 and SDF-1 proteins in PTC (r=0.266,P＜0.05). Conclusion The higher expressions of TFF3 and SDF-1 in PTC were closely correlated with carcinogenesis and progression, which may play a significant value in judging the malignant degree and pro-gression of PTC.

Objective To evaluate effects of acitretin and interferon?α(INF?α)alone or in combination on the proliferative activity of and interleukin?15 expression in human cutaneous T?cell lymphoma Hut78 cells. Methods Cultured Hut78 cells were divided into several groups, including blank control group, negative control group, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) group and experimental groups. Cells in experimental groups were additionally classified into several subgroups to be treated with acitretin(0.1-10μmol/L, acitretin groups)or INF?α(5 000-20 000 IU/ml, INF?αgroups) alone, or the combination of 1.0 μmol/L acitretin and IFN?α at concentrations of 5 000- 20 000 IU/ml (combination groups), for 24, 48 and 72 hours. Subsequently, cell counting kit 8(CCK8)assay was performed to assess the proliferative activity of Hut78 cells, and enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)to measure the expression of IL?15 in these cells. Results The proliferative activity of and IL?15 expression in Hut78 cells were both obviously suppressed in the acitretin groups and combination groups compared with the DMSO group, as well as in the INF?αgroups compared with the negative control group, and the inhibitory effects gradually increased with the increase in acitretin or INF?αconcentrations and treatment durations. As repeated measures analysis of variance revealed, there was a significant difference in both proliferation inhibition rates and IL?15 expression among different treatment durations and among different concentrations of acitretin or INF?α(all P<0.05), and there was an interaction effect between treatment durations and drug concentrations(all P<0.05). A significant difference was observed in both proliferation inhibition rates and IL?15 expression at 24, 48 and 72 hours when the 1.0?μmol/L acitretin+ 10 000/20 000?IU/ml IFN?αgroup was compared with the 1.0?μmol/L acitretin group and 10 000/20 000 IU/ml IFN?αgroup(all P<0.05). There was also a significant difference in IL?15 expression at 24, 48 and 72 hours between the 1.0?μmol/L acitretin+50 000?IU/ml IFN?αgroup and 5 000?IU/ml IFN?αgroup(all P<0.05). Conclusions Acitretin and IFN?αboth can inhibit the proliferation of and IL?15 expression in Hut78 cells, the inhibitory effects are enhanced with the increase in drug concentrations and treatment durations, and the combination of acitretin and IFN?α appears to have stronger inhibitory effects than acitretin or IFN?αalone.
