Objective:To discuss the influence and curative effect of bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets on serum substance P ( SP) and neuropeptide Y ( NPY) levels in the patients with irritable bowel syndrome ( IBS) . Methods: Totally 84 cases of patients with IBS were selected and divided into the observation group and the control group at random. The patients in the two groups were both given the medical treatment, such as diet adjustment, malntenance of water and electrolyte acid-base balance, administration of gastro-intestinal antispasmodic and antidiarrheal agents. The patients in the observation group were additionally given 0. 15g bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets per time, three times a day for 8 weeks. The changes of serum SP and NPY levels in the two groups before and after the treatment were observed, and the clinical curative effect and adverse drug reaction ( ADR) were compared. Results:After the 8-week medical treatment, the serum SP level in the two groups was obviously declined than that before the treatment, while the NPY lev-el was obviously ralsed than that before the treatment (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), and the declining or increase in the observation group was much higher than that in the control group (P <0.05). Meanwhile, the total clinical efficiency in the observation group was 95. 24%, which was much higher than that in the control group (78. 57%, P<0. 05). After comparing the occurrence of ADR be-tween the two groups, no statistical differences were appeared (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Bifidobacterium tetravaccine tablets show reli-able curative effect on IBS with high security, and the curative effect has close relationship with inhibiting the release of SP, enhancing the release of NPY, adjusting the excitement of braln gut axis and inhibiting the imbalance of braln gut petide in the patients with IBS.

Objective To explore the absorption characteristics and mechanism of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated transport of oleanolicacid (OA)across membrane in vitro.Methods The intake and transport of OA were evaluated by an HPLC/MS quantitative detection method.Safe concentration range of OA was determined by MTT.The effect of different drug concentration,incubation time,pH and temperature on the intake of OA by Caco-2 cells were investigated.The effect of P-gp inhibitor on the transmembrane transport of OA was investigated by the Caco-2 cell monolayer model,and the apparent permeability coefficient (Papp) was calculated.Results The uptake of O A was concentration-time dependent and correlated negatively to temperaturein Caco-2 cells within the safe concentration range,but was not significantly affected by pH value.Compared with controls,the Papp significantly changed when the P-gp inhibitor was added to the model(P ＜ 0.05).The apparent permeability ratio decreased from 2.90 to 0.95.Conclusion The absorption of OA was primarily by passive diffusion and might be mediated by the effiux by P-gp.

Objective To observe the effet of gross saponin of tribulus terrestris(GSTT) on hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in anesthetic thoraco-opened dogs.Methods Thirty dogs were randomly divided into negative control,positive control,and experimental groups(GSTT of 6.26,12.52,and 25.00 mg?kg~(-1))(n=6).The administration of intravenous injection was used.The effects of GSTT on the indexes of the hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism in anesthetic thoraco-opened dogs were observed.Results Compared with controls GSTT increased myocardial blood flow(CBF)(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of ischemic postconditioning on brain injury induced by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in diabetic rats.Methods Diabetes mellitus was induced by intraperitoneal streptozotocin 60 mg/kg and confirmed by blood glucose level ＞ 16.7 mmol/L.Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 220-280 g,in which diabetes mellitus was successfully induced,were randomly allocated into 3 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:group sham operation (group S),group I/R and group ischemic postconditioning (group P).Myocardial I/R was induced by occlusion of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery in I/R and P groups.Group P received 3 cycles of 10 s reperfusion followed by 10 s ischemia at the end of myocardial ischemia.The rats were sacrificed at 120 min of reperfusion and the brains were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6),IL-8,IL-10,glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) and phosphorylated GSK-3β (pGSK-3β) (by immuno-histochemistry).Apoptotic index was calculated.Results Compared with group S,apoptotic index was significantly increased,IL-6 and IL-8 expression was up-regulated,and IL-10 and pGSK-3β expression was downregulated in I/R and P groups (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with group I/R,apoptotic index was significantly decreased,IL-6 and IL-8 expression was down-regulated,and IL-10 and pGSK-3β expression was up-regulated in group P (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in GSK-3β expression among the 3 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The pathologic changes were significantly attenuated in group P as compared with group I/R.Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning can attenuate brain injury induced by myocardial I/R in diabetic rats,and inhition of activity of GSK-3β may be involved in the mechanism.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential protective role of Cistanche extracts on 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ion (MPP(+))-induced Parkinson's disease (PD) cellular model, and to find out whether this effect is achieved through the regulation of growth arrest- and DNA damage-induced gene 153 (GADD153). METHODS: MPP(+))-induced cellular injury and the protective effect of Cistanche extracts on the SH-SY5Y cell line viability treated by MPP(+)) were investigated by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The mRNA of GADD153 in SH-SY5Y cell line treated by MPP(+)) and Cistanche extracts were evaluated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The protein level of GADD153 in SH-SY5Y was assessed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Cistanche extracts (100 mug/ml) increased the cell viability (P<0.01). And the mRNA of GADD153 in the Cistanche extracts pretreatment group was much less than that in the MPP(+)) group (P<0.01). The result of Western blotting showed that GADD153 had a lower level in the Cistanche extracts pretreatment group, compared with MPP(+)) group, especially in the 100 microg/ml group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Cistanche extracts pretreatment has a protective effect on the MPP(+))-treated SH-SY5Y cell line, and its down-regulation of GADD153 may contribute to the effect.
