OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation of total saponins and total polysaccharides content in the roots of Pari-dis rhizoma genus plants with Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF)infection rate and rhizosphere soil nutrients. METHODS:Tak-ing 16 pieces of Paridis rhizoma herbs and rhizosphere soil in Three Gorges Reservoir Area as the research object,mycorrhizal in-fection rate and infection intensity,the contents of total saponins and total polysaccharides in roots and stem,and rhizosphere soil nutrient contents were all determined. SPSS18.0 software was adopted for data multiple comparison and correlation analysis. RE-SULTS:Paridis rhizoma genus plants roots in Three Gorges Reservoir Area could form a good symbiotic relationship with AMF. In-fection rate ranged from 85.19% to 99.80%,and infection intensity ranged from 16.55% to 72.27%. Paridis rhizoma from differ-ent origins and varieties had significant difference in the contents of total saponins and total polysaccharides (P<0.05). Soil pH was moderate,the average content of total nitrogen was in insufficient level,the average concentration of the remaining nutrients belonged to middle levels or above. Correlation analysis showed that the mycorrhizal infection rate and infection intensity of Paridis rhizoma were not significantly correlated with its quality. The total saponins were significantly negatively correlated with organic matter and available nitrogen. The total saponins and total polysaccharides were positively correlated with available phosphorus,po-tassium and pH value,but they were not significantly correlated with the other soil nutrients. CONCLUSIONS:Paridis rhizoma is selective to different soil nutrients. Rich soil available phosphorus and potassium supply are in favor of the synthesis and accumula-tion of total saponins and total polysaccharides in Paridis rhizoma roots.

Objective To establish an HPLC method to determine the content of diosgenin in Paridis Rhizoma; To examine contents of diosgenin in different varieties of Paridis Rhizoma medicinal plants and from different habitats. Methods Shimadzu Inertsil ODS-C18 guard column (150 mm×4.6 mm, 5μm) was used in HPLC system; elution conditions were the mobile phase using 92% acetonitrile and 8% water (isocraticelution) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with 203 nm detection wavelength. The temperature of the column oven was maintained at 30℃.Results Different varieties of Paridis Rhizoma medicinal plants and Paridis Rhizoma medicinal plants from different habitats contained diosgenin. TheParis polyphylla var.pseudothibetica in Yubei district had the highest content (6.813 7 mg/g);Paris polyphylla var.stenophylla in Chengkou County had the middle content (5.758 4 mg/g);Paris yunnanensisFranch in Shizhu county showed the lowest content (1.952 2 mg/g). The results showed that the obvious difference of chemical quality between various cultivated varieties of Paridis Rhizoma medicinal plants, which might be related with origin, variety and the cultivation technology, and so on.Conclusion The diosgenin contents ofParis polyphylla var. pseudothibetica andParis polyphylla var.stenophylla were higher than that of varieties recorded in Chinese Pharmacopeia.Paris polyphylla var.pseudothibetica andParis polyphylla var.stenophylla had important medical value.

After 28 foreign species of AM fungi were inoculated in sterilized soil, the effects of the AM mycorrhizal colonization and the medicine quality of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis were observed by combination of inoculation test in pot at room temperature and instrumental analysis. The results showed that, compared with control group (CK), the inoculation of foreign AM fungi in the soil influenced the spore density, mycorrhizal infection rate, and colonization intensity of AM fungi in root system of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. The inoculation of foreign AM fungi enhanced the mycorrhiza viability of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis by increasing the activity of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in intraradical hyphae. The content of single steroid saponin in rhizome of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis showed variation after P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis was inoculated by different foreign species of AM fungi, which was beneficial for increasing the medicine quality; however, the kinds of steroid saponin showed no difference. In a degree, there was a selectivity of symbiosis between P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis and foreign AM fungi. And we found that the Claroideoglomus claroideum and Racocetra coralloidea were best foreign AM fungi species for cultivating P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis under field condition.

Objective To explore the potential risk factors for aortic and mitral valve calcification in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients. Methods Patients on MHD for at least 6 months.aged≥1 8 years without history of surgery or catheter for heart valve disease were enrolled in the study.Echocardiographic examination was performed to detect the calcification.The risk factors for aortic and mitral valve calcification were analyzed by Logistic regression. Results One hundred and eighty-one MHD patients(98 men and 83 women)were enrolled in the study.Of all the patients,aortic or mitral valve calcification was found in 94 patients(5 1.9%),aortic valve calcification in 90 patients(49.7%),mitral valve calcification in 30 patients(16.6%),aortic and valve calcification in 26 patients(14.4%).Multivariate Logistic regression showed that age(β=5.52,P=0.007),dialysis duration(β=6.99,P=0.039)and pre-albumin(β=-12.616,P=0.004)were independently correlated with aortic valve calcification.Mitral valve calcification was independently correlated with dialysis duration(β=6.057,P=0.002),history of primary hypertension(β=3.054,P=0.008),hemoglobin(β=-0.061,P=0.035)and β2 microglobulin(β=7.63,P=0.01).While the correlation between mitral valve calcification and age was borderline significant(β=0.085,P=0.05).Conclusions Valve calcification is prevalent in MHD patients,and aortic valve calcification is more common than mitral valve calcification.Age,dialysis duration and low serum pre-albumin are independent risk factors for aortic valve calcification.The risk factors for mitral valve calcification include age,dialysis duration,history of primary hypertension,anemia and high serum β2 microglobulin.

Objective To identify the efficacy and safety of aspirin in reducing the serum high sensitivity C reactive protein(hsCRP)level and preventing the internal arteriovenous fistulas(AVF)embolism in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods One hundred and ten hemodialysis patients using AVF more than 3 months were randomly divided into 2 groups,the intervention group(n=55,received aspirin 100 mg/d)and the control group(n=55).Examinations were performed at baseline and 6-month after treatment.Serum hsCRP level,platelet aggregates ratio(PAR),coagulation and inflammation indicators were measured.AVF embolism and the adverse events were monitored. Results Six months later.PAR and hsCRP level of the intervention group patients aged≤60 years decreased significantly [(68.14±8.45)%vs (82.37±9.12)%;(4.79±4.81)mg/L vs(6.94±10.26)mg/L,all P＜0.05],and were significantly lower as compared to.the control group[(68.14±8.45)%vs(74.7±11.50)%,(4.79±4.81)mg/L vs(5.12±9.25)mg/L,all P＜0.05].There were 2 cases of AVF embolism occured in both groups,which showed no statistical difierence (P=0.676).The incidence of adverse effeets was higher in the intervention group than that in the control group but no statistical significance was found (20.0%vs 7.2%,P=0.052),while the mortality rate had no difference between 2 groups (3.6%vs 0,P=0.495).Conclusion Use of aspirin 100 mg/d for 6 months can significantly reduce the serum hsCRP level and PAR in hemodialysis patients under 60-year-old without serious adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the effect of songling xuemaikang(SL-xmk)pretreatment on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods A total of 45 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into SL-xmk pretreatment,sham operation,and normal saline control group.Preventive gavage was per-formed for 8 weeks in rats using SL-xmk(937.50 mg/kg)suspension in the SLxmk pretreatment group(n = 15);the preventive gavage was performed in rats using the equal volume of normal saline in the sham operation(n = 15)and normal saline control(n = 15)groups.At the end of the pretreatment process,a model of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)in rats was induced by suture method for 2 hours and reperfusion for 24 hours.The effects of SL-xmk pretreatment on the neurologic deficit scores after transient MCAO,brain water content,and infarct volume in rats were observed.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the MMP-9 immunoreactive positive cells in ischemic brain tissue.Results The neurologjc deficit scores(1.21 ± 0.25 vs.2.37 ± 0.35,P = 0.000),the brain water content (76.24% ± 7.09% vs.88.78% ± 6.57%,P = 0.000),the percentage of infarct volume (22.62% ±2.17% vs.27.84% ±3.43%,P =0.000),and the numbers of MMP-9 positive cells(16.20 ± 2.17/mm vs.20.60 ± 2.71/mm,P = 0.000)were all significantly lower than those in the control group.Conclusions SL-xmk pretreatment may significantly inhibit the expression of MMP-9 in the brain tissue of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats and reduce brain water content and infarct volume.
