Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(05):-
AIM To investigate the effects of polydatin on mouse hepatocyte injury induced by hydrogen peroxide(H 2O 2). METHODS Mouse hepatocytes were prepared. SOD activity, MDA content, GSH level, GSH-px activity, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), nitric oxide(NO) and nitric oxide synthase(NOS) were determined with different method, respectively. RESULTS After 1 h incubation, the mouse hepatocytes with various concentrations of polydatin (0 05, 0 1, 0 5, 1, 2, 4 mmol?L -1 ), significantly decreased the contents of NO and MDA, inhibited the NOS activity, increased the activities of SOD and GSH-px, suppressed the consumption of GSH, and reduced the elevated ALT level in the supernatant induced by H 2O 2. CONCLUSION Polydatin can protect hepatocytes from oxidative injury induced by H 2O 2.

Objective:To study the perioral soft tissue characteristics of the subjects with ClassⅡDivisionⅠand various vertical pat-terns. Methods:Lateral cephalograms of 90 adults ( half men, half women) were divided into 3 groups based on GoGn-SN angle:low angle, normal angle and high angle(n=30). The perioral soft tissues were measured and compared for the determination of the vertical skeletal variables influencing soft tissue characteristics. Results: The subjects with low angle showed significantly smaller values than those with high angle for basic lower lip thickness and lower lip length(P<0. 05). Most measurements of soft tissue thickness were greater in men than in women in all groups, especially for basic upper lip thickness and upper lower lip thickness(P<0. 05). Conclu-sion:Orthodontists need to pay more attention to the differences of perioral soft tissue in the subjects with various vertical patters to ob-tain balance of the facial harmony in orthodontic treatment.

AIM To explore the effects of sinomenine (Sin) on psychic dependence induced by morphine (Mor) in mice and its relation to the cAMP content of the cerebral cortex. METHODS A biased procedure induced the strong place preference. The effect of Sin (10, 30, 60 mg?kg -1 , ip) on the rewarding property of morphine was observed in a conditioned place preference(CPP) paradigm in mice,at the same time, the change of cAMP content in cerebral cortex was measured by the radioimmunoassay(RIA). RESULTS Sin significantly shortened the time of staying in morphine-pair compartment and lowered the cAMP level of mice. CONCLUSION Sin could attenuate effects of psychical dependence induced by Mor, its mechanism may be related to decrease of cAMP level in the brain, and Sin did not display psychical dependence in the experiment.
4.Occurrence and prevention of adverse reaction induced by puerarin injection.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2005;25(9):852-855
In this paper, literature about adverse reaction induced by Puerarin injection published in recent years were reviewed and analyzed. It was reported that Puerarin injection can not only induce adverse reactions on multiple systems, such as immune, blood, urinary, digestive and cardiovascular system, but so far as to cause death. Therefore, it should be administered rationally and strictly according to the direction and the course of medication should be rigorously monitored to prevent the occurrence of adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of MIF mRNA and TNF-α in the lung tissue of rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and explore their mechanism of action in acute lung injury during the course of ANP. Methods A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10 in each group) : the sham operation (SO) group, ANP 3h group, 6h group, 12h group. The model of ANP was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium tanrocholate (0. 1 ml/100 g) into the biliary and pancreatic duct. The level of serum amylase was determined;pancreatic and lung tissues were harvested for pathological examination, and wet/dry weight ratios were estimated. Intrapulmonary expression of MIF mRNA was assayed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. TNF-α in pulmonary homogenate was measured by immunoradiometric assay. Results Serum amylase, wet/dry weight ratios of pancreatic and lung tissues all significantly increased, and pathological injuries aggravated with time in ANP groups. Levels of TNF-α in ANP 3h, 6h, 12h group were (0.69 ± 0. 107) ng/ml, (1.64 ± 0. 10) ng/ml and (0.92 ± 0.11) ng/ml, and expression of MIF mRNA were 1.97±0.09, 2.55±0.23, 3.29±0.26, which were significantly higher than those in control group [(0. 19±0.06)ng/ml, 1.21±0.34, P<0.01]. lntrapulmonary expression of MIF mRNA was positively associated with lung pathological injuries, wet/dry weight ratio, and TNF-α(r = 0. 637, r = 0.684, r = 0.858, P < 0.01). Intrapulmonary levels of TNF-α was positively associated with lung pathological injuries, wet/dry weight ratio (r=0.540, r=0.421, P<0.01). Conclusions MIF mRNA was over- expressed and level of TNF-α was significantly increased in pulmonary tissue in rats with ANP, and this may be one of the mechanisms in the pathogenesis of lung injury in ANP.

AIM: To study the influence of MG132 on the proliferation and cell cycle distribution of NK/T cell lymphoma cells, and to investigate the potential role of proteasome inhibitor on the treatment of NK/T cell lymphoma. METHODS: NK/T cell lymphoma cells HANK1 were treated with proteasome inhibitor MG132, and the proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. The morphological changes were observed under inverse microscope. The cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were detected using flow cytometry. RESULTS: The growth inhibitory rate of HANK1 cells was(57.72±7.44)% after cultured for 24 h with 1 μmol/L MG132 and was just(3.98±0.07)% after cultured for 24 h with 0.1 μmol/L MG132. The positive relationship between the concentration of MG132 and growth inhibitory rate was observed. On the other hand, after cultured for 24 h with 1μmol/L MG132, the cells in G_1 and G_2 phases were(72.33±3.44)% and(12.86±1.29)%, respectively, much higher than those in control group(63.63%±2.29% and 7.94%±1.91%, respectively). The early and late apoptosis rates in MG132 group were 33.57%±2.10% and 16.66%±0.47%, respectively, much higher than that in control group (7.18%±0.82% and 3.81%±1.06%, respectively). CONCLUSION: MG132 inhibits cell proliferation and induces cell cycle arrested at G_1 and G_2 phases, and cell apoptosis in NK/T cell lymphoma cells in a concentration dependent manner. Proteasome inhibitor may be a good drug to treat patients with advanced NK/T cell lymphomas.
