ABSTRACT
To clarify the key quality attributes of substance benchmarks in Danggui Buxue Decoction(DBD), this study prepared 21 batches of DBD substance benchmarks, and established two methods for detecting their fingerprints, followed by the identification of peak attribution and similarity range as well as the determination of extract and transfer rate ranges and contents of index components ferulic acid, calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside, and astragaloside Ⅳ. The mass fractions and transfer rates of DBD substance benchmarks from different batches were calculated as follows: ferulic acid(index component in Angelicae Sinensis Radix): 0.037%-0.084% and 31.41%-98.88%; astragaloside Ⅳ(index component in Astragali Radix): 0.021%-0.059% and 32.18%-118.57%; calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside: 0.002%-0.023% and 11.51%-45.65%, with the extract rate being 18.4%-36.1%. The similarity of fingerprints among 21 batches of DBD substance benchmarks was all higher than 0.9. The quality control method for DBD substance benchmarks was preliminarily established based on the HPLC fingerprint analysis and index component determination, which has provided a basis for the subsequent development of DBD and the quality control of novel related preparations.

Objective To investigate Feining granule on prevention and treatment of rat with radiation-induced lung injur ( RILI) and its effect on cytokine transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1), interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6).Methods 105 SD female rats were selected, according to random number table, and divided into seven groups: normal group, model group, dexamethasone group(positive drug), Feining granule low-dose group (FN low-dose group), FN medial-dose group, FN high-dose group and FN prevention group, 15 rats in each group.Except for normal group, all remaining groups received the X-ray irradiation of 15Gy, DT30Gy/2f/1w.FN prevention group were intragastric infused with FN granule one week before irradiation, and the other groups 48 h after irradiation.Five rats were sacrificed randomly at 2, 4, 6 weeks respectively, and right lung tissues were taken out.The contents of TGF-β1, IL-1 and IL-6 were detected by immunohistochemical method.ResuIts TGF-β1, IL-1 and IL-6 contents in lung tissue of model group at 2, 4, 6 weeks were higher than those of normal group (P<0.05).The above indicators after treated by Feining granule were lower than those of model group at each time (P<0.05),with a concentration-dependence manner to some extent.The above indicators in FN high-, medial-and low-dose group were higher than those in dexamethasone group (P<0.05), to some extent.However, the above indicators in FN prevention group were lower than those in dexamethasone group ( P<0.05 ) .ConcIusion Feining granule could prevent and cure radiation induced lung injury through decreasing TGF-β1, IL-1 and IL-6 content.The efficacy of dexamethasone is stronger than FN treatment groups, but is weaker than FN prevention.
ABSTRACT
Hormones are the main materials which regulate the plant growth and the secondary metabolites formation of plant. The effects of hormones on cell biomass and metabolites content and the application progress of honrmones in plant cell suspension culture is reviewed. It covers the influence of exogenous hormones’ categories, concentration and proportion on cell biomass and metabolites content in plant cell suspension culture, the developmental course of the endogenous hormones determination, the changes of endogenous hormones content and its effects on the cell biomass and metabolites content, the relation of interaction between exogenous hormones and endogenous hormones, the study on the effect of new hormone varieties on the culture.
ABSTRACT
Aim To study on biological properties and hemopoiesis-supporting function of human bone marrow stromal cells cultured for long-term in vitro. Methods ① Bone marrow stromal cells from fetus, chidren and adults were cultured for long-time in vitro by static adherent wall assay. ② The phenotypes of the stromal cells were analyzed by immunocytochemical staining or FACA.③ Hemopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood were co-cultured and expanded with the stromal cells at different development stages. Results ① The fibroblast myoid cell lines were established and could be propagated to 10 generations and kept for 6 months, meantime, endothelial cells and macrophoges were obtained. ② The child stromal myoid cells were positive for viementin and negative for VIII factor by immunocytochemical staining and their phenotypes were CD33-,CD34-,CD38-and CDW90＋ , while the phenotypes of adult stromal cells were CD33-, CD34-, CD38＋ and CDW90＋ . ③ The stromal cellls could support long-time survival or expansion of LTC-ICs. Survival time of LTC-ICs in the stromal cell-supporting system supplemented with SCF, IL-3 and IL-6 was even longer than that in system without stromal cells(P∨ 0.01). The productivity rate of LTC-ICs cultured in the stromal cell-supporting system was 2 to 4 times higher than that cultured in system without stromal cells. Conclusion The human bone marrow stromal cells could be cultured for long-time in vitro and have hemopoiesis-supp ortingfunction for the hemopoietic stem cells in cord blood.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the clinical data of 45 cases of familial adenomatous polyposis(FAP) and the experiences of treatment and diagnosis of FAP. Methods Retrospectively analyzed of the clinical data was made on 45 FAP patients.The choice of operative procedure included total colectomy+ileostomy in 25 cases,subtotal colectomy+rectal polyposis electrocautery in 15,and total colectomy with ileo-anal anastomosis in 5. Results Average age of patients at first diagnosis was 33.5 years. A family history was found in 35 patients. Bleeding, diarrhea, pain are common clinical presentations, and the numbers of polyposis were all more than 100. All patients without malignant change survived for 3-21years;and metastasis of liver was the main cause of death in patients with malignant change. There were age differences between malignant and non malignant group. Conclusions FAP lacks typical clinical presentation, and misdiagnosis is not uncommon. Surgical therapy should be done on an individual basis and according to the actual condition of patients.
ABSTRACT
0.01). A sig-nificant dose-reponse relationship was also found between the manganese exposure doses and the frequencies of mi-cronucleus and SCE in experimental group. Conclusion Lower exposure levels of manganese of ≤0.25?g/ ml were safe to genetic materials, but higher manganese exposure levels of ≥0.75?g/ml might cause different kinds of DNA damages.
