Objective Agaro-oligosaccharides have been proved to possess the antioxidative ability in vitro. This work focus on the preparation of agaro-oligosaccharides and their antioxidant effect in vivo. Method Agaro-oligosaccharides were hydrolytically obtained and the activated carbon column was used to purify the oligosaccharides. The antioxidative effects of the 10 % ethanol eluted fraction on tissue peroxidative damage induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4) was also investigated in rat. Result Agarobiose of high purity was consequently eluted from chromatography in the fractions of 5 % and 8 % ethanol, agarotetraose and agarohexaose in 10 % to 15 % ethanol, as well as high degree of polymerization (DP) oligosaccharides in 25 % ethanol. The antioxidative results indicated that agaro-oligosaccharides could elevate the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and decrease the level of MDA, GPT, GOT significantly. At a dose of 400 mg?kg~ -1, MDA level was reduced 44 % and 21 % in liver and heart, the activities of SOD and GSH-Px would amount to the peak value in liver and serum, while GPT level was decreased 22 % in serum. Conclusion The purity of agaro-oligosaccharides with different range of DPs was improved by activated carbon column, which possesses the property of different absorbance ability towards oligosaccharides with various DPs and high isolating capability. The animal test also indicated that agaro-oligosaccharides could inhibit the oxidative damage in vivo.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and ADR of Houttuynia cordata eye drops combined with Olopatadine eye drops in the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. METHODS:160 eyes with allergic conjunctivitis were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 80 eyes in each group. The control group was given olopatadine eye drops,and observa-tion group was additionally given H. cordata eye drops(medication interval>10 min)on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for 14 days. Symptoms and signs of 2 groups were observed and scored before treatment and 14 d after treatment. Ef-fective rates of 2 groups were calculated,and the occurrance of ADR was observed. RESULTS:Compared with before treatment, symptoms and sings score of 2 groups were decreased,with statistical significance (P<0.01 or P<0.05);the decrease of two score in observation group were more significant than in control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);effective rates of control group and observation group were 37.50%and 77.50%,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:H. corda-ta eye drops combined with olopatadine eye drops can ameliorate clinical symptoms and signs of allergic conjunctivitis patients sig-nificantly,and improve therapeutic efficacies without obvious ADR.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic airway diseases,which leads to heavy social and economic burden to our country.We can use serum biomarkers to evaluate diagnosis,classification,treatment and prognosis of COPD.The change of biomarkers provides lots of valuable clinical information.A variety of biomarkers are associated with the severity of lung function,which can be used to judge disease severity.Some indicators are related to the diagnosis of acute exacerbation or hospitalization risk.Some serum markers would guide therapy and can be effectively applied to clinical work.Study of COPD serum biomarkers would provide more reference information for clinical physicians in diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of COPD.
