Objective:To study the effect of Liuwei Dihuang decoction (LW) on secretion of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of senescence accelerated mouse (SAM). Methods:The level of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of SAM with aging and the effect of LW on the secretion of testosterone were observed using cultured testis leydig cells in vitro.Results:The level of testosterone in the testis leydig cells of SAMP8 with aging was significantly decreased and showed a significant difference compared with age-matched SAMR1. Chronic administration of LW (2.5 and 5.0 g/kg) for 5 months significantly ameliorated the secretion of testosterone in SAMP8 compared with control group. Conclusions:The secretory function of testis leydig cells was reduced in SAMP8 with aging. LW ameliorated the secretion of testosterone in the testis leydig cells,indicating that LW could antagonize or delay the deterioration of the testis leydig cells in SAMP8.

Objective To study the alternation of coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients with gastric cancer(GC) . Method Platelet aggregation test(PAGT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), tissue factor pathway inhibitor(TFPI), D-dimer and tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA: a)were detected in 48 GC patients(GC group) at two weeks pre- and post-operation respectively;and compared with non-tumor patients(control group). Results Compared with control group, in GC group,especially in GC patients with lymphatic metastasis,the PAGT increased (P

Beta-Elemene is an antitumor drug which is isolated from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Curcumae Phaeocaulis Rhizoma, it is the main component of elemene which is extracted from the plant and delivered via blood circulation after intravenous injection. The antitumor effect of beta-elemene in vitro and in vivo was definite, and beta-elemene could improve the patient immunity and no sever side effect, drug resistance or bone marrow suppression were found during the clinical studies. And human serum albumin (HSA) is a primary extracellular protein which has a high concentration distribution in blood plasma and has many characteristic physiological functions. Therefore, the binding of beta-elemene to protein may be very important for absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. Therefore, the study on the interaction of beta-elemene with drug-carrying protein is very important. In this work, molecular binding of beta-elemene to human serum albumin (HSA) was investigated by using spectrofluorometer. the binding constants suggested that a strong interaction and the formation of a complex between beta-elemene and HSA. This clearly implies that beta-elemene can be stored and removed by the proteins in the body. Furthermore, the fluorescence quenching results showed that the HSA fluorescence was quenched by beta-elemene through static quenching mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters showed that hydrophobic interactions play a role in the binding of beta-elemene to HSA. The negative deltaH(0) and positive deltaS(0) in case of beta-elemene therefore showed that electrostatic attraction play a role in the binding of beta-elemene to HSA.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the mechanism that bacteria growing in biofilm(BF) always resist to antimicrobial agents,and to provide the theoretical basis for selecting antimicrobial agents in clinic. METHODS Model of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli bacterial biofilm was built up with the modified flat-board method and identified with the AgNO_3 staining and confocal scanning laser microscopy.We used imipenem to induce the ESBLs production of BF bacteria.ESBLs production was performed by the standard disk diffusion method. RESULTS The isolation rate of ESBLs producing strains in Klebsiella and E.coli planktonically was 20.0% and 22.5%,respectively.The isolation rate of ESBLs producing strains in Klebsiella biofilm and E.coli was 42.5% and 47.5%,respectively.The isolation rate of ESBLs producing strains in above two biofilms and(E.coli) biofilm being induced by imipenem was 65.0% and 70.0%,respectively.The isolation rate of groups A_1 and B_1,groups B_1 and C_1,groups A_2 and B_2,groups B_2 and C_2 was different from each other significantly with the statistic method of ?~2 test. CONCLUSIONS One of the main reasons that Klebsiella and E.coli resist to antibiotics is the synergetic effect of BF and ESBLs.

Objective:To study e ects of Saikosaponin a(SSa) on tumour necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-?) release and its receptor expression in cultured hippocampal astrocytes induced by pentylenetetrazol(PTZ).Methods:The in vitro cultured primary hippocampal astrocytes were randomly divided into control group(group A),PTZ-induced group(group B)PTZ10mmol/L+SSa groups(group C and group D,the SSa concentrations were 1.25mg/L and 0.625mg/L respectively).The extracellular uid TNF-? level and the expression of tumour necrosis factor receptor type 1(TNFR1) in hippocampal astrocytes were respectively detected by ELISA and Western-blot after PTZ-induced 2 hours.Results:the TNF-? level and TNFR1 expression of group B were signi cantly higher than that of group A,group C and group D(P

Objective:This study was to study effect of keeping ying and weiqi in balance on cardiac muscular collagen Ⅰ,collagen Ⅲ,angiotensinⅡ in spontaneous diabetes rats,and provide new thoughts for prevention and treatment for diabetic cardiomyopathy.Methods:40 spontaneous diabetes rats were divided into four groups at random:spontaneous diabetes control group,diformin group,Guizhi Decoction group and Huanglian Jiedu Decoction group.Except control group,each group was given intragastric administration for 12weeks.Blood glucose,collagenⅠ,collagen Ⅲ,collagenⅠ/collagen Ⅲ,angiotensin Ⅱ were determined.Euzymelinked immunosorbent assay and radio-immuniy method were used.Results:Blood glucose in Huanglian Jiedu Decoction group and diformin group decreased;Compared respectively with diformin group and control group,collagenⅠdecreased obviously and collagen Ⅲ increased signifi cantly in Guizhi Decoction group,and the collagenⅠ/collagen Ⅲ decreased.Compared with diformin group and control group,cardiac muscular homogenate AT-Ⅱ contents decreased in both of Guizhi Decoction group and Huanglian Jiedu Decoction group.Conclusion:Guizhi Decoction can decrease the content of collagen Ⅰ,AT-Ⅱ and collagenⅠ/collagen Ⅲin cardiac muscular,and increase content of collagen Ⅲ,then prevent and treat cardiac muscular collagen reconstruction and myocardial fibrosis.Huanglian Jiedu Decoction can decrease the content of AT-Ⅱ,and decrease collagenⅠ/ collagen Ⅲ,collagenⅠ slightly,and can improve cardiac muscular collagen reconstruction.Keeping ying and weiqi in balance is a new thought for prevention and treatment for diabetic cardiomyopathy.
