We systematically analyse and summarize on the literature(1996-2016) by reading and analysing them.Active ingredients and pharmacological activity of traditional Chinese medicine pigment composition(Saffower Yellower Injection) is introduced and its response characteristics, factors and potential causes of ADR are revealed, which provides the reference for safe, rational clinical management of drugs.Also it reminds that clinicians should master the characteristics of adverse reactions of traditional Chinese medicine pigment and grasp the ADR potential causes and control measures, in order to reach the goal of rational drug use.

Objeetive To study the differences of the biological characteristics and immune regulation function of adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs)from psoriasis patients and healthy people.Methods AMSCs were isolated and cultured from human psoriatic and healthy adipose tissue,the phenotypes and cell cycle of AMSCs taken from three generation were detected by flow eytometry.Alkaline phosphate enzyme staining and oil red o staining were used respectively to identify their adipogenic and osteogenic capacity.Next,the levels of inflammation antimicrobial proinflammatory factor were detected by PCR and ELISA.Then gene expression profile of AMSCs were screen by gene expression profile chip,as so to bolting the the gene array related with immunology gene.Results There was no significant change in cell morphology,and cell surface markers were expressed high for CD29,CD44,CD73,while lower for CD31,CD45 and HLA-DR.AMSCs of psoriasis patients and healthy people both had the ability of adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation.But the cell cycle showed the third generation AMSCs proliferation rates were slower than that of normal control,as compared with healthy controls,adipogenic differentiation ability was stronger.What'more,the level of inflammatory cytokines in psoriasis group was lower than that in controls such asIL-10,IDO,TGF-β,on the contrary the levels of proinflammatory factor in psoriasis group were higher than that in controls,such as TNF-α,IFN-γ.In addition,gene chip results suggested that psoriasis group AMSCs had obvious expression differences on JAK-STAT pathway with healthy controls.Conclusions Compared with the control,there are significant differences in patients AMSCs proliferation and adipogenic differentiation ability,immune inflammation suppression control ability is weaken,this phenomenon may be associated with JAK-STAT immune pathways related to downgrade.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanism of polysaccharides from Hedyotis diffusa (HDP) on isoniazid (INH)-induced liver injury. METHODS Healthy transgenic zebrafish with liver-specific fluorescence were divided into normal group, model group (4 mmol/L INH), HDP low-concentration group (4 mmol/L INH+50 mg/mL HDP) and HDP high- concentration group (4 mmol/L INH+100 mg/mL HDP). After grouping treating, the liver fluorescence area, fluorescence intensity and pathological changes of liver tissue were observed. Human liver L02 cells were divided into normal group, model group (4 mmol/L INH), HDP low-concentration group (4 mmol/L INH+2 mg/mL HDP), and HDP high-concentration group (4 mmol/L INH + 4 mg/mL HDP). After grouping treating, the cell viability was detected, and the levels of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and the content of glutathione (GSH) as well as the expression levels of silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1), nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) proteins were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group, the HDP low- and high-concentration groups showed varying degrees of increase in the fluorescence area and fluorescence intensity (except for HDP low-concentration group) of zebrafish liver (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the characteristics of liver injury and necrosis had been improved to varying degrees. Compared with model group, the survival rate of L02 cells, the content of GSH (except for HDP low-concentration group), the protein expression levels of Sirt1 (except for HDP low-concentration group), Nrf2, NQO1, HO-1 (except for HDP low-concentration group) were significantly increased in HDP low- and high-concentration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the levels of ALT and AST (except for HDP low-concentration group) were significantly decreased (P<0.05); the number of survival cells significantly increased, while the number of damaged or dead cells significantly decreased. CONCLUSIONS HDP has a potential protective effect against INH-induced liver injury, the mechanism of which may be associated with activating Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway, improving mitochondrial function and enhancing antioxidant capacity.
