Experimental study on effect of rhizoma drynariae flavone on bone destruction of collagen inducted arthritis rat / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Through establishing the rat model of CIA to evaluate the effect and mechanism of Rhizoma Drynariae Flavone on bone destruction of CIA rat.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Subcutaneous injection of bovine type II collagen was used to induce Wistar rats to fall ill, and then established the rat model of CIA. The rats whose inflammation scores reached to two points or above were randomly divided into four groups, and were treated accordingly. The effect of Rhizoma Drynariae Flavone on bone destruction was evaluated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>At 12 weeks after treatment, bone trabecular area percentage and bone trabecular number in Rhizoma Drynariae Flavone group, Rhizoma Drynariae Flavone-1/2 Etanercept group, Etanercept group was obviously higher than that of sterilization water group (P < 0.05); and the trabecular resolving power of these groups was obviously less than that of sterilization water group (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Rhizoma Drynariae Flavone can obviously inhibit inflammation of joint bone destruction of CIA rats,the effect may be related with bone trabecular number reduction and trabecular resolving power increasing.</p>

Effect of Bushen Qianggu decoction on the proliferation of synovial fibroblasts and expression of PCNA and Bcl-2 / 中国骨伤

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of Bushen Qianggu decoction proliferation and PCNA and Bcl-2 expression.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Serum containing BQD was made and synovial fibroblasts were separated and cultured and passaged in vitro. Four groups were divided as 20% blank control group, serum containing 20% Tripterygium wilfordii multi-glycosides drug (TWMD), 20% of serum containing high and low of BQD, respectively. Serum containing drugs of different concentration were added into the synovial fibroblasts of the third generation, and then the synovial fibroblasts were cultured continued. The effects of different drugs on synovial fibroblasts and PCNA and Bcl-2 expression were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the control serum, BQD-containing serum promoted the apoptosis of synovial fibroblasts (P < 0.000 1); especially, high dose could inhibit proliferation. The expression of PCNA and Bcl-2 was significantly lower in BQD-containing serum (P < 0.000 1 vs control group).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>BQD can promote the apoptosis of synovial fibroblasts by improving of expression of PCNA and Bcl-2, which may be one of the mechanisms of BQD in preventing and treating osteoporosis of rheumatoid arthritis.</p>

Relation between transfection of exogenous CYR61 and expression of integrin / 上海第二医科大学学报

Objective To study the induction of integrin molecules mediated by CYR61 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC). Methods A recombinant expression plasmid containing full length of human CYR61 labeled with human IgG Fc fragment was constructed and identified by DNA sequencing.COS7 was used as host cell for identification of secretary CYR61 expression,confirmed by Western blot method.The commercial lipofectin was adopted for recombinant plasmid transfection into PBMC.Real-time PCR was ultilized to analyze expression patterns of CYR61 and integrin molecules in transfected PBMC. Results The insert sequence was correct in the recombinant plasmid.Western blot test showed that CYR61 protein secreted into culture supernatant or was in COS7 cytoplasm.The recombinant plasmid was transfected into PBMC stimulated with phytohemagglutinine(PHA) to induce CYR61 expression and secretion.The results demonstrated that exogenous CYR61 transcribed rapidly after being incubated with PHA and reached the peak after 24 h.But the expression dropped down quickly to a very low level after 48 h.Simultaneously,integrin molecules expressed just after CYR61 transcription.In the set of integrin molecules tested in the study,?v,?M,?3 and ?5 expression were higher than the other integrin molecules(P
