OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for rapid identification and efficient preparation of main ingredients in effective parts of Xinjiang Artemisia rupestris,and provide reference for researching the ethnic medicines. METHODS:LC-HRMS/MS was conducted for the preliminary study of main ingredients in effective parts of A. rupestris. HPLC,UV and MS were used to compare and analyze parts of the compounds and its reference substances,their names were determined. Column separation and preparative liquid chromatography were used for the undetermined compounds to receive monomer rapidly,and the structures were identified. RESULTS:5 compounds were separated from the effective parts,2 of which were identified as artemetin and casticin. A monomer-ic compound was obtained (yield was 0.35 mg/g,the purity was 98.5%),which was confirmed to be 6-demethoxy-4′-O-me-thoxy-capillarisin-7-O-β-D-glucoside by the structure. CONCLUSIONS:The method has achieved rapid separation,identification and preparation of target ingredients,which can be used for the fundamental research of ethnic medicine complex materials.

Fifty children with refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (RITP) were treated with rituximab (n =26) or vincristine (n =24).The response rate,adverse reaction and recurrence rate in two groups were compared.The CD19 +/CD20 + B cells in peripheral blood were detected by flow cytometry in 26 patients before and after RITP treatment.The response rates of rituximab group was significantly higher than that of vincristine group ( 69.2％ vs. 37.5％,x2 =9.74,P ＜ 0.01 ). There was no significant difference in the rate of adverse reaction between two groups ( 11.5％ vs.8.3％,x2 =0.62,P ＞ 0.05 ).The recurrence rate of rituximab group ( 22.2％ ) was significantly lower than that of vincristine group (55.6％,x2 =7.24,P ＜ 0.05 ).In rituximab group the platelet count after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment ( t =12.48,P ＜0.01 ),and the ratio of CD19 +/CD20 + B cells decreased significantly after treatment compare to that before treatment ( t =6.71,P ＜0.05 ).Rituximab is effective in treatment of refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children,which may be associated with decreased B cells in peripheral bloos.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a Chinese herbal formula for calming liver and suppressing yang on the protein expressions of vascular tissues in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), and to explore the mechanism of efficacy. Methods: Twenty SHRs were randomly divided into model group and treatment group. Another 10 Wistar-Kyoto rats were selected as a normal control. SHRs in the treatment group were administered with the formula for calming liver and suppressing Yang for 4 weeks. During the course of treatment, blood pressure and heart rates were monitored every week and the ethology of rats, including irritability and rotation endurance was also evaluated. After treatment, thoracic aorta was obtained and its proteins were separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). The differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and database query. Results: The formula for calming liver and suppressing yang not only decreased the systolic blood pressure and heart rate, but also improved irritability degree and rotation endurance time of SHRs. This experiment had established the 2-DE graph of protein expressions of vascular tissues in SHRs. Compared with the normal group, the expressions of 15 proteins were down-regulated, and 12 proteins were up-regulated in vascular tissues of the model group. The formula for calming liver and suppressing yang treatment up-regulated expressions of 10 proteins in the 15 down-regulated proteins, and down-regulated 8 proteins in the 12 up-regulated proteins in vascular tissues of SHRs. After analysis, 16 obviously differentially expressed proteins were found, and 13 of them were identified. Conclusion: The formula for calming liver and suppressing yang can improve the ethology of SHRs. The mechanism is probably concerned with regulating the protein expressions of vascular tissues.

AIM To investigate the anticonvulsive action of supercritical CO2 ethanol extract from Pinellia Pedatisecta Schott(SEE-CO2PP). METHODS The rat convulsive model was induced by penicillin localized injected in rat cortex. The effects of SEE-CO2PP on the latency of seizure and changes of convulsive behaviors were investigated. The latency of epileptiform discharge, and frequency and amplitude of highest wave in cortex and hippocampus were recorded by using RM6240C multichannel physiological signal collection and analysis recorder. At the same time, the contents of glutamic acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), glycine (Gly) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in hippocampus were determined with high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS SEE-CO2PP 15 and 30 g·kg-1, ig, prolonged the latent period of seizure and weakened the extent. SEE-CO2PP also prolonged the latent period of epileptiform discharge, reduced the frequency and decreased amplitude of the highest wave in both cortex and hippocampus. Moreover, SEE-CO2PP increased the content of GABA in hippocampus, but the levels of Gly,Asp and Glu had no obvious changes. CONCLUSION SEE-CO2PP inhibits the epileptiform discharge and convulsive behaviors of convulsive model rats, which suggests SEE-CO2PP has anticonvulsive action.

OBJECTIVETo construct primary cultured granulosa cells model of Zi Gooses tansfected by alpha-enolase (ENO1) overexpression adenovirus vector, and to detect the effect of ENO1 overexpression of granulose cells on progesterone secretion.

METHODSGranulosa cells were infected with Ad-CMV-ENO1 in gradient multiplicity of infection(MOI) levels:100, 250, 350 and 400 pfu/cell. Twenty four hours and 48 h after infection, green fluorescent protein (GDP) was respectively detected by fluorescence inverted microscopy. The effect of ENO1 overexpression of granulose cells on progesterone secretion was detected by the step double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

RESULTSThe optimal infection rate (100%) was achieved when MOI was 800 pfu/cell,48h after infection. Real time RT-PCR and Western blot showed that the level of mRNA and protein expression ENO1 were increased significantly after infection (P < 0.01); The granulosa cells progesterone secretion of Ad-CMV-ENO1 group increased signigicantly (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONENO1 overexpression could make the primary culture follicle granulosa cells in vitro improve progesterone secretion.
