In this study, microcalorimetry was adopted to establish a novel method for detecting the hemagglutination process of Radix Isatidis (Banlangen in Chinese, BLG), and to evaluate the hemagglutination activity diversity of BLG from various habitats. The hemagglutination biothermokinetics curves of positive reagent (phytohemagglutinin, PHA) and 8 batches BLG from different regions of the hemagglutination with 20% rabbit erythrocyte were recorded by microcalorimetry, then biothermokinetics parameters were abstracted, the hemagglutination utility of samples were calculated and analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA), meanwhile the results were authenticated by micro-plate agglutination. It showed that the hemagglutination was an exothermic reaction, the reaction rate constant (k: 0.039-73.6 min(-1)), maximum reaction power (Pmax: -1 140.2 - 988.2 microW) and reaction enthalpy (Hi: -529.9 - 717.9 microJ) had good linear correlation with BLG extraction concentration (0.2-1.0 g mL(-1), r > 0.97), and PCA showed Pmax (531-1 335 microW) and Ht (585.2-989.2 microJ) could represent the hemagglutination activity diversity of BLG samples, just confirming with the results of micro-plate agglutination (the agglutination dilution was 3-11 respectively). According to the hemagglutination utility, the BLG samples from Good Agriculture Practice (GAP) regions, main producing area and general regions could be clustered correctly; meanwhile, the biothermokinetics curves with perfect distinctive fingerprint and specificity could give out more information for the quality control and evaluation for BLG. In conclusion, the microcalorimetry method established for detecting the hemagglutination activity of BLG samples on rabbit erythrocyte is sensitive and reliable, and could be adopted as an effective technique in detection aggulatination precisely, quantitatively and consecutively; and provide a novel approach for examining and evaluating quality for Chinese herbal medicine with aggulatinative activity such as BLG.

To establish kinetic assay method for the analysis of hemolysis and to investigate dynamic hemolytic process of polysorbate 80. The UV-VIS spectrum of heme changes when hemoglobin is released continuously during the hemolytic process. Therefore, dynamic hemolytic curve was determined as a new way to characterize the kinetic process of interaction between polysorbate 80 and red blood cells. The effect of polysorbate 80 on blood cells could be perfectly investigated by the hemolytic dynamics. Dynamic hemolytic parameters of polysorbate 80 were calculated according to the hemolytic curves. The constants of hemolytic rate and maximum hemolytic rate of polysorbate 80 had fine linear relationships at the range of 1-20 mg x mL(-1) and 5-20 mg x mL(-1), respectively. In comparison with the present official method such as macroscopic observation and static spectrophotometric methods, kinetic spectrophotometry has the advantages of real time, on-line determination, sensitive, objective, good reproducibility and 2-dimensional information acquired. Therefore, as a biological technique, kinetic spectrophotometry could be applied to evaluate the quality of polysorbate 80 and to screen other solubilizing excipients.

Objective To construct and analyze the model of the sleeve gastrectomy with modified jejunoileal bypass (SG/MJIB) on non-obese Goto - kakizaki (GK) rats. Methods GK rats were randomly divided into SG/MJIB, sham-SG/MJIB, pair-fed (PF) and controls group. Before and after surgery, the changes of weight, food intake, fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), insulin tolerance test (ITT), fasting plasma Insulin and the histological changes in islet were dynamically observed for 16 weeks. Results From the 4th week postoperative, the weight changes of SG/MJIB significantly decreased compared with sham-SG/MJIB and PF group (P＜0.01). Fasting glucose concentration of SG/MJIB animals was lower than sham-SG/MJIB, PF and controls group (P＜0.05). The OGTT of SG/MJIB rats was obviously improved compared with the sham-SG/MJIB, PF and controls group （P＜0.01). Two weeks after operation, glucose tolerance was better improved in SG/MJIB than preoperative, the area under the curve (AUC) of blood glucose concentration decreased by about 38.9% (P＜0.01). Postoperative insulin levels in SG/MJIB group were obviously lower than sham-SG/MJIB group throughout the experiment(P＜0.05). In the 16th week, the morph of pancreatic islet of SG/MJIB was obviously improved. In the SG/MJIB group, the number of positive β-cell and mature acinus was significantly increased, while sham surgery groups had no obvious changes as mentioned above. Conclusions SG/MJIB was directly linked to the reduction in glucose levels in GK rats, independently weight loss and caloric intake, and it can be served asa stable long-lasting hypoglycemic surgery model to research the mechanism for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

A capillary electrophoretic method was developed for the separation of enantiomers of naphthylgly-cidic ether(NGE). Several cyclodextrins(CDs) were applied as the chiral selectors and it was found that the ionic modified highly sulfated cyclodextrin(HS-β-CD) could give satisfactory enantioselectivity. In addition,the effects of the pH value of the buffer system,the concentration of the HS-β-CD,capillary temperature and the running voltage on the chiral separation were investigated systematically. The result showed that under the optimized conditions of pH 2. 5,20 mmol/L H_3PO_4-triethanolamine buffer containing 2% highly sulfated cyclodextrin ( HS-β-CD) at capillary temperature 20℃ in the reversed polarity voltage of - 18 kV,the enantiomers of naphthylglycidic ether were baseline separated. This method is simple,precise and can be applied to the chiral separation of naphthylglycidic ether enantiomers and determination of enantiomers excess(ee,% ).

Objective To evaluate the role of C-Jun N-Terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in dexmedetomidine-induced reduction of spinal neurotoxicity induced by lidocaine in rats.Methods Seventy-two adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, in which intrathecal catheters were successfully implanted without complications, were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table: control group (group C);SP600125 (JNK signaling pathway blocker) group (group SP);dexmedetomidine group (group D);lidocaine group (group L);dexmedetomidine + lidocaine group (group DL);SP600125+lidocaine group (group SPL).Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 20 μl was injected intrathecally in group C.SP600125 30 μg and 10％ lidocaine 20 μl were injected intrathecally in SP and L groups, respectively.At 20 min after intrathecal injection of 10％ lidocaine, dexmedetomidine 75 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in group DL, and SP600125 30 μg was injected intrathecally in group SPL.Dexmedetomidine 75 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally in group D.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured before intrathecal catheters were implanted (T0), before intrathecal administration (T1), and at 4, 8 and 12 h and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 days after intrathecal administration (T2-10).At 24 h after intrathecal administration, 6 rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed.The lumbar segment (L4-5) of the spinal cord was removed for detection of cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK) expression (by Western blot).The apoptotic index was calculated.Results Compared with group C, no significant change was found in the MWT, TWL, apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK in SP and D groups (P＞0.05), the MWT at T2-8 in group L, at T2-6 in group DL and at T2-5 in group SPL were significantly increased, the TWL at T2-8 in group L, at T2-5 in group DL and at T2-4 in group SPL were prolonged, and the apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK were increased in DL, SPL and L groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group L, the MWT was significantly decreased, and the TWL was shortened at T2-8, and the apoptotic index and expression of p-JNK were decreased in DL and SPL groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine mitigates spinal neurotoxicity induced by lidocaine is related to inhibited activation of JNK signaling pathway in rats.
