To explore the mechanism of the absorption enhancement of Angelica dahurica extract (Ade), the absorption mechanism of baicalin in the Scutcllaria water extraction as well as the effect of Angelica dahurica extract on absorption of baicalin were investigated. In order to determine the main absorption site, everted intestinal sac model was used to study the effect of Angelica dahurica extract on the absorption of baicalin at duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon. In situ single pass intestinal perfusion model was performed to study the absorption of various concentrations of baicalin and the effect of Angelica dahurica extract on the absorption of baicalin at the main absorption site. To authenticate the consequence of perfusion by getting the blood from the hepatic portal vein and determine the concentration of the baicalin in the blood. The result showed that baicalin could be absorbed at all of the four intestinal segments with increasing absorption amount per unit as follows: ileum > colon > jejunum > duodenum. The absorption ofbaicalin in the duodenum significantly increased with Angelica dahurica extract, thus, duodenum was chosen to be the studying site. Apparent permeability values (Papp) and absorption rate constant (Ka) of baicalin in the duodenum increased gradually with higher concentrations. When the concentration of baicalin rises to a certain degree, the absorption increase had a saturable process, the absorption of baicalin may be an active transportation. Baicalin may be not a substrate of P-gp as verapamil which had not significantly affected the Papp and Ka of baicalin. The absorption of baicalin in the duodenum significantly increased (P < 0.01) in the two models with Angelica dahurica extract and the concentration of baicalin in the blood from the hepatic portal vein showed that the Angelica dahurica extract can increase the absorption of baicalin.

Objective: To investigate current status of screen-time in 2-6 years old preschoolers in Beijing, and to describe associated factors of high screen time, and to provide a reference for making interventional measures to prevent and control short-sightness. Methods: A total of 366 preschoolers were chosen through convenience sampling from 5 kindergartens in Beijing urban and rural areas. Questionnaire survey was administered to parents regarding child screen-time. Results: The average screen time of the preschool children in Beijing was (120.5±78.5)min/d, and the rate of high screen time was 75.8%. The average screen time during weekdays was (92.4±72.8) min/d, which was less than the average screen time at weekends (192.4±117.0) min/d. Logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.69, 95%CI=1.19-2.38, P＜0.05) and without an habit of exercise among parents (OR=3.05, 95%CI=1.50-6.19, P＜0.05) were positively associated with, and being girl was the negatively associated with high screen-time (OR=0.49, 95%CI=0.25-0.99, P＜0.05). Conclusion A large proportion of the preschool children aged 2-6 in Beijing have too long screen time, especailly during weekend, and gender, age, parental habit of exercising and so on have impacts on their screen time. Therefore, the education and prevention work should be conducted to reduce their screen time.

OBJECTIVETo optimize the protocols for isolation, in vitro culture, identification and induction of hepatic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs).

METHODSRat BMSCs were separated and purified by differential adherent culture for 1.5 h with the first medium change at 12 h. The surface markers of BMSCs were detected by flow cytometry. The cells were induced to differentiate into adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenesis lineages. A 3-step protocol including sequential addition of growth factors, cytokines and hormones was used to induce the BMSCs to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells.

RESULTSThe cells isolated using this protocol were positive for CD29, CD44, and CD90 and negative for CD29 and CD45. The adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation of the BMSCs were verified by Oil red, Alizarin red, and toluidine blue staining. The BMSCs induced with the 3-step protocol differentiated into hepatic-like cells that expressed hepatocyte-specific proteins (ALB and AFP) and genes.

CONCLUSIONThe optimized protocol allows simple and efficient isolation of highly purified populations of BMSCs, which can be induced into hepatic lineages in specific microenvironment.

Objective To investigate the effect of laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(LYGB) on body fat distribution,and relationship between the changes of body fat distribution and improvement of insulin resistance.Methods A total of 65 patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent LYGB were selected for a retrospective analysis.Metabolic parameters,anthropometric measurements,body composition and fat distribution measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) were collected separately before and 6 months post LYGB.All data of pre-and postoperation were compared with pair t test,Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate correlation of two variables.Results Weight,body mass index,waist circumference,waist-to-hip ratio,triglyceride,fasting plasma glucose,fasting insulin and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were significantly decreased in 6 months after surgery (P ＜ 0.05).Total fat mass,body fat mass of trunk,upper and lower limbs decreased significantly (P ＜0.05).Percent fat mass at the whole body,Android region,upper and lower limbs decreased significantly (P ＜0.05).After 6 months postoperatively,abdominal obesity indices waist circumfernce decreased from (98.10±13.03) cm to (91.60±7.68) cm (P＜0.01) and percent fat mass at the Android region decreased from (35.71 ±10.24)％ to (29.44 ± 12.11) ％ (P＜0.05),HOMA-IR decreased from 3.62 ± 5.18 to 1.79 ± 1.52 (P ＜ 0.05).The improvement of postoperative insulin resistance is positively correlated with the changes in waist circumference (P ＜0.01) and percent fat mass of Android region (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The body fat distribution changes after LYGB,change of abdominal fat distribution is positively correlated to the improvement of insulin resistance.

Objective To investigate the effects of berberine on UCP2 expression and the mitochondrial dy-namics in skeletal muscle and kidney in mice with ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of lower limb.Methods Thirty male Kunming mice were randomly divided into the negative control group,the positive control group,and low,medium and high doses berberine intervention groups.The mice in all experimental groups constructed the ischemia reperfusion injury model of lower limbs by tourniquet,different doses of berberine solution were injected intraperitoneally for intervention,while the ischemia repeating supply group used normal saline for re-placement.The HE staining was used to detect the pathological conditions of skeletal muscle and kidney,PCR and Western blot were used to detect the gene and protein expression levels of UCP2,FIS1,DRP1,Mfn1 and Mfn2,and the changes of SOD,MDA and GSH were detected by kit.Results After IRI intervention in the both lower extremities,the inflammatory cell infiltration occurred in both skeletal muscle and kidney,and the cell structure of skeletal muscle showed the damage changes.Meanwhile,the gene and protein expressions lev-els of UCP2,FIS1 and DRP1 and the levels of GSH and SOD in skeletal muscle were significantly increased (P<0.05),while the gene and protein expression levels of Mfn1 and Mfn2 and the levels of MDA were signif-icantly decreased (P<0.05).The increase of UCP2 and DRP1 gene and protein expression levels in kidney was different (P<0.05).Berberine could up-regulate the UCP2 gene expression in skeletal muscle and the pro-tein expression in skeletal muscle (P<0.05).At the same time,DRP1 gene and protein were significantly inhibited in the kidney tissue (P<0.05),but which in skeletal muscle had no significant change.Conclusion IRI of skeletal muscle of lower extremity in mice leads to severe oxidative stress injury,mitochondrial dynamic imbalance and inflammatory damage of kidney in the injured parts.The therapeutic effect of berberine on skeletal muscle and kidney IRI may be achieved by inhibiting oxidative stress injury,in which its protective effect on kidney may also be related to inhibit the expression of DRP1 after UCP2 up-regulation,thus limit the mitochondrial fission and slow down the development of injury.

OBJECTIVE：To esta blish a method for determining the contents of lupenone and stigmasterol in the rhizome ，stem and leaf of Mosa basjoo from the same plant ，and to provide reference for the substitute resource for the effective components of M. basjoo . METHODS ：UPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Zorbax Rrhd Eclipse Plus C 18 column （100 mm×2.1 mm，1.8 μm）with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-methanol （78.5∶21.5，V/V）. The detection wavelength was set at 210 nm；the flow rate was 0.15 mL/min；the column temperature was 30 ℃ and the sample size was 1 μL. The results of content determination of lupinone and stigmasterol in the rhizome ，stem and leaf of 9 batches of M. basjoo from the same plant were analyzed by the methods of comparative analysis between groups ，principal component analysis and cluster analysis. RESULTS：The mass concentration of lupenone and stigmasterol had a good linear relationship with the corresponding peak area within the range of 11.16-357.10 and 8.83-160.40 g/mL（R2 were 0.999 2 and 0.999 1，respectively）. RSDs of precision ， repeatability and stability tests were all less than 3％. The average recovery rates of lupenone and stigmasterol were 101.44％ and 98.32％，and the RSDs were 1.77％ and 1.81％（n＝6），respectively. The average contents of lupenone and stigmasterol in stems of M. Basjoo were significantly higher than those of rhizome and leaves of M. basjoo （P＜0.05）. There was no statistical significance in the contents of lupenone and stigmasterol between stem and leaf of M. basjoo from same plant （P＞0.05）. Results of principal component analysis showed that the contents of lupanone and stigmasterol were different in rhizome ，stem and leaf of M. basjoo from the same plant. Rhizome ，stem and leaf of M. basjoo were divided into three types through cluster analysis ，among which the rhizome had significant difference with the other two parts. CONCLUSIONS ：The method is simple ，rapid，specific， reproducible and accurate. It can be used for the content determination of lupenone and stigmasterol in different parts of M. basjoo . The stem of M. basjoo can replace the rhizome of M. basjoo as the source of lupinone and stigmasterol.
