This paper is aimed to study the differences of allelopathic effects of Panax notoginseng under different allelopathic chemicals resources and selection of appropriate rotation crops. The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction ( AMMI) model had been used to evaluate the stability of allelopathic effects of P. notoginseng on the varieties of corn, wheat and rice properly. The model could use not only to evaluate the stability of non-regional trial data but also explore the interaction between the rotation crop genotypes and donor substances more efficiently. Meanwhile, correspondence analysis can be used in the AMMI to evaluate genotype stability and donor substances. Ejingza No. 1 (g6) had stronger allelopathic effects with high stability, but Yunrui No. 1 (g9) which was appropriate rotation crop genotype, had weaker allelopathic effects with high stability. These findings will aid in choosing appropriate rotation crops and establishing proper rotation system.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the regulation of {O2 (2,4-dinitrophenyl)1-〔(4-ethoxycarbonyl) piperazin-1-yl〕diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate}(JS-K), anitric oxide donor, on tumor energy metabolism in H22 tumor- bearing mice. METHODS The hepatoma animal model in BALB/c mice was established with H22 cell line. The JS-K group and model group were received JS-K (0.75 and 1.5 mg?kg-1) and saline via tail intravenous once every 3 d for 14 d, received 5 injections, respectively. The positive group was received 5-FU 20 mg·kg- 1 by intraperitoneal injection once a day for 14 d. On the 15th day mice were sacrificed. The tumor growth inhibition rate were calculated. The activities of hexokinase (HK), phospho?fructo kinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), and the levels of lactic acid (LD) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in tumor tissues were de?termined by colorimetric method. RESULTS Compared with model group, the tumor mass of JS- K 0.75 and 1.5 mg·kg- 1group was significantly reduced (P<0.01),and the tumor growth inhibition rate was 23.9% and 50.3%, respectively. The activity of HK, PFK, PK, SDH and ATPase of tumor tissue in model group was (22.6±3.7, 14.4±2.6, 12.9±3.2 and 10.5±2.6)U·g-1 protein and (0.70±0.10)μmolPi·mg-1 protein per hour, respectively; which in JS-K 1.5 mg?kg-1 group was dropped by 42.0%, 26.6%, 22.7%, 23.3% and 21.7% (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the level of ATP and LD in JS-K group was dropped (P<0.01). CONCLUSION JS-K can inhibit the growth of tumor in H22 tumor-bearing mice and its mechanism may be related to regulating the tumor energy metabolism with inhibition of glycolysis and aerobic oxidation.

Objective: To establish the cardio-renal syndrome (CRS) model by coarctation of abdominal aorta (CAA) with renal ischemia reperfusion injury (RIRI), and to observe the mRNA expression of pro-renin receptor [(P)RR] in experimental rats. Methods: A total of 42 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Sham group, CAA group, RIRI group and CAA+RIRI group.n=10 in each group, 2 rats died during the modeling and all animals were treated for 16 weeks. Blood levels of BNP, creatinine (Cr), urea nitrogen (BUN), the activity of rennin, the contents of angiotensin-I (AT-I), AT-II and aldosterone were examined by laboratory test. The diastolic end inter-ventricular septum thickness (DEIVST), DELVPT, LVEF, ventricular weight index (VWI) and cardiac weight index were detected by small animal echocardiography. The histological changes of myocardium and kidney tissue were measured by HE staining, and the mRNA expressions of pro-renin receptor in myocardium and kidney tissues were measured by RT-PCR. Results: Compared with Sham group, blood levels of BNP were increased in the other 3 groups,P<0.05; compared with CAA group, CAA+RIRI group had increased levels of Cr and BUN,P<0.01; compared with Sham group and RIRI group, CAA+RIRI group showed increased blood level of aldosterone,P<0.05. Compared with CAA group, CAA+RIRI group presented increased rennin activity,P<0.05. Blood levels of AT-I and AT-II were not signiifcantly increased among 3 operation groups,P>0.05. Compared with CAA group, CAA+RIRI group had more obvious changes of DEIVST and LVEF,P<0.01. Compared with RIRI group, CAA+RIRI group had more obvious ventricular hypertrophy, higher VWI and cardiac weight index, allP<0.05. HE staining presented that CAA+RIRI group had broadening of myocardial cell bundle space, decreased left renal index, severe tubular atrophy and partial glomerular atrophy. RT-PCR demonstrated that compared with Sham group, the mRNA expressions of pro-renin receptor in myocardium and kidney tissues were decreased in the other 3 groups. Conclusion: Combined CAA+RIRI method may damage the cardial and renal tissues at the same time which was more severe than either CAA or RIRI. While CAA+RIRI model has better controllability and higher consistency that provides a methodological reference for pro-renin receptor in treating CRS in experimental rat’s model.

It has been showed that there were obvious obstacle effects of Panax notoginseng replanting. Crop rotation was the main effective technique to overcome the obstacle. To find a reasonable crop rotation system for P. notoginseng, aqueous extracts from root, stem and leaf of P. notoginseng were analyzed for allelopathic effect on three maize varieties (which are often grown in regions where P. notoginseng grown). The main results were as follows: (1) Allelopathic effect of P. notoginseng stem and leaf extracts on the three other tested plants was stronger than that of root extracts; (2) Corn was more vulnerable to the effects of allelochemicals at seedling stage than at germination stage, and the corn root was more sensitive than aerial part to allelochemicals; (3) Lusan No. 3 and Yunrui No. 1 showed resistance to P. notoginseng allelopathy, with respective comprehensive sensitivity indexes (M3) of - 0.089 3 and -0.159 2, while Bainuo No. 1 is sensitive at M3 = -0.261 0. It then can be concluded that Lusan No. 3 and Yunrui No. 1 may be an alternative rotation plants for overcoming P. notoginseng continuous cropping obstacle.

Objective:To analyze the activities of human NKG2D ligand MICA/B promoter induced by 5-Fu.Methods:The 5'-end flanking regions of MICA /B promoter and their different truncated fragments were amplified from A549 genome by PCR. The resulting amplicons were cloned into pGL3-Basic vector to generate the MICA/B luciferase reporter plasmids. All the constructs were transiently transfected A549 cells. The promoter region activities were determined by dual-luciferase reporter assays. The effect of 5-Fu on the promoter activities of MICA/B was also tested.Results and Conclusion:The 5'-end flanking regions of MICA /B promoter and five of their different truncated fragments were successfully obtained. The normalized luciferase reporter gene activities driven by the above promoters and fragments were 3.61,2.26,1.63,0.313,0.711 and 0.663 for MICA and 17.49,10.11,7.398,0.822,0.997 and 0.49 for MICB,respectively. Promoter activities in transiently transfected A549 cells treated by 20,40,80,160 and 320 μg/m of 5-Fu increased 1.69,1.48,1.62,1.55 and 1.78 fold for MICA and 1.44,1.87,1.38,1.19 and 1.25 fold for MICB. Our results suggest that 5-FU can significantly up-regulate the promoter activity of both MICA and MICB.
