Objective To observe effects of aqueous extractive of Clarke boea herb on mice with gastric ulcer, and provide basis for clinical application.Methods Gastric ulcer model was induced by reserpine. The mice were divided into normal group, model group, ranitidine group, low and high dose of Clarke boea herb groups. Mice in treatment groups were given corresponding drugs by gavage, and the normal group and control group were given the same amount of saline for 4 weeks. The area of gastric ulcer, serum proinflammatory cytokines gastric juice volume, gastric juice acidity, iNOS and COX-2 gene expressions were detected.Results Compared with control group, the gastric ulcer area in low and high dose of Clarke boea herb groups decreased significantly. Clarke boea herb increased the SS and VIP, decreased the MOT and SP serum levels (P<0.05,P<0.01). Clarke boea herb reduced the levels of serum proinflammatory cytokines of IL-6, IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-γ(P<0.05,P<0.01). Clarke boea herb also decreased the genetic expressions of iNOS and COX-2 (P<0.05,P<0.01).ConclusionClarke boea herb has good gastric ulcer preventive effects, and the high dose of Clarke boea herb group showed the best efficiency.

Objective To investigate the effects of maternal deprivation on chronic stress?induced depression behavior and its characteristics in adult rats,and to evaluate the effects of maternal deprivation on the efficacy of escitalopram. Methods Newborn SD male rats were randomly divided into control ( C ) group,maternal deprivation (MD) group,chronic unpredictable stress (CUPS) group,maternal deprivation and chronic unpredictable stress ( MD+CUPS) group. Rats in control group received no experimental han?dling.Rats in MD group and MD+CUPS group received maternal deprivation from the lst day after birth for 14 days.Rats in CUPS group and MD+CUPS group received chronic unpredictable stress from 10 th weeks after birth for 28 days. Screened the rats with depression behaviors and treated them with escitalopram for 4 weeks. Results The incidence of anhedonia was significantly different among 4 groups (χ2=143.24, P<0.05). Pairwise comparison showed significant difference between any two groups (MD+CUPS group (75.76%) >CUPS group (40.98%) > MD group (17.11%) >C group (4.17%), P<0.0083). The incidence of behav?ioral despair was significantly different among 4 groups (χ2=70.34, P<0.05). Pairwise comparison showed the incidence of behavioral despair in MD+CUPS group (43.43%) and CUPS group (39.34%) were signifi?cantly higher than that in MD group (13.51%) and C group (3.33%),but no difference was observed be?tween MD+CUPS and CUPS group (P<0.0083) . The incidence of behavioral despair in MD group was signif?icant higher than that in C group. There was no significant efficacy of escitalopram on anhedonia and behav?ioral despair among 3 stressed models. However the recovery incidence from anhedonia (44/140) was significantly lower than that from behavioral despair (76/140) (χ2=14.93, P<0.05). Conclusion The maternal deprivation in?creases the stress sensitivity and the incidences of anhedonia in adult rats.The efficacy of escitalopram on behavioral despair is higher than that on anhedonia without influence from maternal deprivation.
