ABSTRACT
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes. It is the main cause of end-stage renal disease and a cause of increased mortality of diabetes. Moreover， diabetic nephropathy has a complex pathogenesis， which is difficult to be detected in the early stage. Therefore， it is easy to miss the optimal intervention period in clinical treatment， which seriously endangers the life and health of patients. As an active ingredient of Chinese medicine， polysaccharides have biological activities such as anti-tumor， lowering blood sugar， immune regulation， anti-oxidation and anti-virus. In recent years， many studies have demonstrated that polysaccharides in Chinese medicine can effectively interfere with diabetic nephropathy， with multi-target and multi-channel characteristics and significant effect， showing great potential. Although there are many studies on the mechanism of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of diabetic nephropathy， there is a lack of a systematic and detailed review on it. Therefore， based on the animal experiments on the intervention of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in diabetic nephropathy in recent years， we analyzed and summarized the mechanism of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of diabetic nephropathy from five aspects of improving insulin resistance， improving oxidative stress， reducing inflammatory reaction， protecting kidney and improving intestinal flora. In addition， the signaling pathways and indicators involved in the mechanism were summarized， and the intervention effect and polysaccharide structure analysis were compared. The paper was expected to provide a theoretical basis for the basic research， new drug development and clinical application of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of diabetic nephropathy.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To stud y the effects of “green removing ”processing technology of fresh fruit of Schisandra chinensis after harvested on the quality of medicinal material ，and to provide new ideas for the scientific and rational processing of Chinese medicinal material. METHODS ：Fifteen fresh fruits of S. chinensis were used as samples ，with 3 samples in each group. The sample were processed preliminarily by 5 methods，such as drying at 50 ℃，drying in the sun ，drying at 50 ℃ after“green removing”processing with microwave ，drying at 50 ℃ after“green removing ”processing with blanching ，drying at 50 ℃ after “green removing ”processing with steaming. HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of dried S. chinensis products were established and similarity evaluation was conducted according to Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprints （2012 edition）. Cluster analysis was used to evaluate the similarity of dried S. chinensis products with different processing methods. At the same time ，HPLC method was adopted to determine the content changes of seven lignans in dried products ，such as schisandrol A ， schisandrol B ，schisantherin A ，schisantherin B ，schizandrin A ，schisandrin B and schisandrin C. RESULTS ：A total of 7 common peaks were obtained in the fingerprints of 15 batches of dried S. chinensis products. Except that the similarity between the chromatograms of dried samples in the sun and the control fingerprint was relatively low ，the similarities of chromatograms of dried products by other processing methods were greater than 0.900. Cluster analysis showed that 6 samples dried at 50 ℃ after“green removing”processing with microwave and dried at 50 ℃ after“green removing ”processing with blanching were grouped into the first category ；3 samples dried at 50 ℃ after“green removing”processing with steaming were grouped into the second category ；6 samples dried at 50 ℃ and dried in sun were grouped into the third category. The content determination results showed that there was no significant difference in the total content of seven lignans in the samples dried at 50 ℃ and dried in the sun （P＞0.05）. The total contents of seven lignans in the samples dried at 50 ℃ after“green moving ” processing with microwave ，blanching and steaming were significantly higher than those dried at 50 ℃ and dried in sun （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS：The quality of S. chinensis samples dried after “green moving ”processing with microwave and blanching is better than those directly dried in sun and dried in oven.
ABSTRACT
Objective To inquire into the clinical acceptability of self-developed biochemical test system by comparing the results and bias estimation with the traceable assay system.Methods According to the requests of National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) EP-9A, comparison test and bias estimation for self-developed test system and traceable Roche reference system (HITACHI 7180) were performed by using patient's sera. The self-developed system was set up as axle Y, the traceable Roche assay system as axle X and 1/2 CLIA (%) was used as the acceptable judge standard.Results The relationship of LDL-C between self-developed system and comparison system was inferior, so the results of LDL-C as well as the low values of HDL-C were of low acceptability. The comparabilities of results of ALT, urea, creatinine, TC, ApoA1 and ApoB were acceptable.Conclusion The self-developed test system must compare with traceable assay system, and estimate its clinical acceptability. The regression equation Y=bX+a can be used to correct the bias of test result.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore a practical way for traceability and comparability of the value obtained from clinical biochemical examination in regional medical organizations by transferring the assigned value in fresh serum to daily serum calibrator.Methods Six local comprehensive hospitals with Grade III were chosen to analyze the effects of calibration by traceability and the comparability of examined results.The definite values of standard panel in matching analytical system were transferred to fresh sera for value assignment.Verified biochemical analyzers were used to examine the values of alaninetransaminase(ALT),total cholesterol(TC),urea and total bilirubin(TBil) in mixed fresh sera and intercomparison with target system was performed to analyze the effect of traceable calibration and the comparability among various analytical systems.Results Although all the applied instruments in the present study were in good conditions with high precision,the comparability of obtained results of ALT,TC,Urea and TBil between tested system and target system was low and the differences were significant(P0.05).Conclusion Traceable precision transfer by using fresh serum is a simple,practical,feasible way to realize the traceability and comparability of regional clinical biochemical examination.
