ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Coptidis Rhizoma-Fermentum Rubrum on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in mice and explore its possible mechanisms. MethodSixty male SPF C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups: control group, model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose Coptidis Rhizoma-Fermentum Rubrum group (0.75, 1.5, 3 g·kg-1), and metformin group (0.075 g·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. NAFLD mouse models were induced by high-fat diet feeding for 24 weeks. The low, medium, and high-dose Coptidis Rhizoma-Fermentum Rubrum groups were administered corresponding doses of Coptidis Rhizoma-Fermentum Rubrum by gavage, while the control and model groups received an equivalent amount of saline for four weeks. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), free fatty acids (FFA), and liver function markers including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and oil red O staining were used to detect liver lipid deposition, and Prussian blue staining was used to measure liver ferrous ion levels. Western blot was performed to detect the expression of key proteins in the nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) axis. ResultAfter 24 weeks of high-fat feeding, compared with the control group, the model group showed significant increases in body weight, liver weight and liver index, and serum lipid levels (P<0.01), as well as substantial hepatic lipid deposition with marked steatosis. Compared with the model group, Coptidis Rhizoma-Fermentum Rubrum intervention reduced body weight (P<0.01), liver weight and liver index (P<0.01), and serum lipid levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), improved liver function (P<0.01), and decreased hepatic lipid deposition, with the low-dose Coptidis Rhizoma-Fermentum Rubrum group showing the best effect. Western blot results showed that compared with those in the control group, the expression levels of Nrf2, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1), and GPX4 proteins in the model group were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Coptidis Rhizoma-Fermentum Rubrum increased the expression levels of these proteins (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionCoptidis Rhizoma-Fermentum Rubrum can alleviate fatty liver in mice, improve liver function, and reduce hepatic lipid deposition, possibly by regulating the Nrf2/GPX4 ferroptosis axis.

Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2009;18(2):123-127
Dendritic cells are the most powerful cells to induce T cell immune reaction. DC derived from leukemia also possess the ability of the antigen processing and presentation. DC pulsed with tumor antigen can effectively initiate T cell immune reaction and induce T cell to cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vitro and in vivo. In this text, we introduce the advanced development of the biological character of DC, tumor immunology, the mechanism of tumor cell escaping immune surveillance and DC in leukemia immunotherapy.

Objective:Clonidine,by activating peripheral α-sbrenoceptors, produces transient pressor response after i.v.injection in anesthetized animals.Moxonidine, with at least 40-fold higher affinity to I1-imidazoline receptors than to α2-adrenoceptors,produces also a transient pressor response. This work was designed to investigate whether I1-imidazoline receptors are involved in this pressor effect of moxonidine. Methods:Female spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHRs,aged 14-16 weeks)were anesthetized with urethane.To observe the transient pressor responses,moxonidine 0.1,0.3,1.0mg/kg(intravenous,i.v),2.0μg(intracerebroventricular,i.c.v.)and 1.0,10.0mg/kg(intragastric,i.g.)were administrated in different groups of rats.To evaluate the roles of α1-adrenoceptors,α2-adrenoceptors and I1-imidazoline receptors in the transient pressor responses to moxonidine, prazosin(10.0μg/kg),yohimbine(2.0mg/kg),phentolamine(0.2mg/kg),idazoxan(1.0mg/kg)or yohimbine+idazoxan(2.0mg/kg+1.0mg/kg)were intravenously given to the animals before moxonidine 0.3mg/kg (i.v.).Results:It was found that i.v.moxonidine produced a greater pressor response than clonidine when producing a similar reduction of blood pressure.This effect of moxonidine was not influenced by prazosin, but was partly inhibited by yohimbine, phentolamine or idazoxan,and completely blocked by the combination of yohimbine and idzaxon.Neither i.c.v.injection nor i.g. administration of moxonidine induced transient pressor responses.Conclusion:The transient pressor response of i.v. moxonidine is mediated by both peripheral I1-imidazoline receptors and α2-adrenoceptors.

This study aims at exploring the effects of tensile strain and loading time on the secretion of IL-1 beta of human periodontal ligament fibroblast. Five tensile strain values including 0%, 8%, 12%, 16%, 20% and three loading time including 24 h, 48 h, 72 h are set in this study. The prepared cell samples are mounted on the self-devised loading apparatus in vitro. The content of IL-1 beta in each sample was determined using double-antibody ELISA. The secretion amount of IL-1 beta per day is directly proportional to the loading time and tensile strain value in tensile strain group of 8%, 12%, 16%. The secretion amount of IL-1 beta reaches its maximum at tensile strain value of 16% in loading time groups. Loaded strain for 24 h and 48 h, the secretion amount of IL-1 beta at tensile strain value of 20% is obviously more than that at value of 0%, but the amount already begin to decrease apparently. Loaded strain for 72 h, the secretion amount of IL-1 beta decreases to a great extent that it is less than the amount at strain value of 0%. The tensile strain stimulates the secretion of IL-1 beta by human periodontal ligament fibroblast when the strain is under normal physiological extent, but the stimulation effect fades out as time goes on.

Four phthalocyanines (iron tetracarboxylphthalocyanine, copper tetracarboxylphthalocyanine, manganese tetracarboxylphthalocyanine, cobalt tetracarboxylphthalocyanine) were used as dual functional mimic enzymes of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The first function, eliminating O2-, was proved by using riboflavine-methionine photoreduction method in the concentration range of 10-5 to 10-6 mol/L. The second function, clearing out H2O2, was demonstrated by means of spectrophotometry with the decomposing percentage being increased with the increase of the concentration of the imitating compounds. Measurements of metal phthalocyanines, SOD and CAT by the liver homogenate technique of mice showed that they had obvious action of decreasing the lipid peroxidation.
