1.INVESTIGATION OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXPRESSION OF MANNOSE-LIGAND RECEPTOR ON CAPACITATED HUMAN SPERM IN VITRO AND ACROSOME REACTION INDUCED BY SOLUBILIZED MOUSE ZONA PELLUCIDA
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1955;0(03):-
Objective To study the correlation between expression of mannose-ligand receptor(MR) on capacitated human sperm in vitro and acrosome reaction induced by zona pellucida(ZP). Methods The swimming-up sperms were incubated in capacitating medium BWW for 6 hours at 37℃, and then treated with solubilized mouse zona pellucida(mZPS).After an hour, the percentages of spermatozoa labeled with FITC-DMA were counted and used to show the expression of MR; the percentages of acrosome-reacted sperm visualized with fluoresceinated Pisum sativum agglutinin(PSA) were recorded. Results There is no correlation between expression of MR on capacitated human sperm in vitro and acrosome reaction induced by mZPS.Conclusion Expression of MR on capacitated human sperm in vitro might not be the essence of capacitation.;

OBJECTIVE To op timize the i ntegrated technology of producing area processing and decoction pieces processing of Curcuma longa (hereinafter refer to “integrated technology ”). METHODS The content of ethanol-soluble extract in C. longa was determined by hot leaching method ;the contents of curcumin ,demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. On the basis of identification of producing area processing technology , Using overall desirability (OD) value of the contents of ethanol-soluble extract , curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin as evaluation indexes ,moisture content ,slice thickness and drying temperature as factors ,the integrated technology of C. longa was optimized by single factor tests combined with central composite design-response surface method ,and the validation tests were conducted. At the same time ,prepared product was compared with traditional decoction pieces prepared according to 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part Ⅰ). RESULTS The best integrated technology was that the fresh C. longa was boiled in boiling water for 5 min,dried at 50 ℃ to 40% water content ,cut into 2 mm thin slices ,and dried at 50 ℃ until moisture content not exceeding 15.0%. After validation ,The deviation between the average OD value (0.811 3,RSD=2.13%) and the predicted value (0.848 1)of the contents of ethanol-soluble extract ,curcumin,demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin was 4.34%. OD value of the contents of ethanol-soluble extract ,curcumin,demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin in decoction pieces prepared by integrated technology were all higher than those prepared by traditional technology. CONCLUSIONS The process optimized in this study is simple ,stable and feasible.

OBJECTIVE To explore the influence of Zingiber officinale and processed Z. officinale on pharmacodynamic indexes and intestinal flora on gastric ulcer rats with spleen -stomach deficiency and cold type before and after processing with sand . METHODS The SD rats were randomly divided into normal group ,model group ,positive control group (Compound tianqi weitong capsule 0.45 g/kg),Z. officinale high-dose(15.0 g/kg)and low -dose(7.5 g/kg)groups,processed Z. officinale high- dose(15.0 g/kg)and low -dose(7.5 g/kg)groups,with 10 rats in each group . The rat model of gastric ulcer with spleen -stomach deficiency and cold type was established by intragastric administration of vinegar (day 1-10)and absolute ethanol (day 11). Administration groups were given relevant liquid intragastrically ,and normal group and model group were given water intragastrically(day 5-10). One hour after intragastric administration of absolute ethanol ,blood was taken from the femoral artery of rats ,the serum contents of motilin (MTL),gastrin(GAS),epidermal growth factor (EGF)as well as 4 items of blood coagulation [activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),prothrombin time (PT),thrombin time (TT),fibrinogen(FIB)] were detect. The ulcer index and inhibition rate of ulcer in gastric tissue were calculated . The pathological changes of gastric tissue were observed,and the number and area of erosions were recorded . The diversity of gut microbiota in fecal samples of rats was detected . RESULTS Compared with model group ,the contents of MTL (except for processed Z. officinale low-dose group ),GAS(except for processed Z. officinale low-dose group ),EGF(except forofficinale groups) and FIB (except for Z. officinale groups),inhibitory rate of ulcer (only positive control group )were all increased significantly (P<0.05). APTT(except for Z. officinale groups),PT(only processed Z. officinale high- dose group ),TT(except for Z. officinale groups),ulcer index (except for Z. officinale groups),the number (except for Z. officinale groups)and area of erosions (except for Z. officinale groups)were shortened and decreased significantly (P<0.05); improvement effects of processed Z. officinale were better than those of the same dose of Z. officinale on EGF ,4 items of blood coagulation(except for PT ,TT,FIB of processed Z. officinale low-dose group ),ulcer index (except for processed Z. officinale low-dose group )and inhibitory rate of ulcer (P<0.05). Compared with model group ,α diversity indexes as ACE ,Shannon and Simpson of intestinal microorganisms in rats were increased significantly in processed Z. officinale group;the relative abundance of Proteobacteria was decreased significantly in processed Z. officinale group,while that of Bacteroidetes was increased significantly (P<0.05); the relative abundance of Limosilactobacillus was decreased significantly in Z. officinale group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Z. officinale and processed Z. officinale can improve the symptoms of spleen -stomach deficiency and cold ,and enhance gastrointestinal function by increasing the content of GAS and MTL . Processed Z. officinale can significantly inhibit gastric ulcer of spleen -stomach deficiency and cold type ,which is related to the promotion of mucosal protection and repair ,improvement of coagulation functionand adjustment of gut microbiotadisorder .
