Establishment of A Mixed Chimeric Mouse Model of Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation and Its Influencing Factors / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To establish a mouse mixed chimerism (MC) model of nonmyeloablative allogeneic bone marrow transplantation(allo-BMT) and explore its affecting factors.@*METHODS@#The MC model was established by nonmyeloablative allo-BMT followed by high-dose post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY). 123 mice in the experiments was retrospectively analyzed, and the factors related with the chimerism were explored with the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A multivariate linear regression was performed by R project to obtain a mathematical model for predicting the chimeric level with relevant affecting factors.@*RESULTS@#The model presented mixed chimerism on day 14 after transplantation, and was characterized by a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) which significantly promoted donor engraftment on day 15, but transfplantation of PBS in control group was failed. Among 123 mice, 47 (38.21%) mice were MC, while 76 (61.79%) mice were non-MC in 123 mice, respectively; univariate analysis showed that the baseline body weight of mice (P=0.001, 17.84±1.19 g vs 18.50±0.94 g), total body irradiation(TBI，P=0.048) and the using of cyclophosphamide (P=0.16) were affected the chimeric state of mice, while the number of infusing cells and the time of detection showed no significant effects. Multivariate regression analysis showed that under certain conditions, the body weight of mice on day 0 was an independent factor affecting chimeric levels (OR=0.493, 95% CI 0.307-0.791, P=0.003). Through R project multiple linear regression, the math model was achieved, which was chimerism=6.09-12×weight(g)+80.03×TBI(Gy)-4.4×cell-counts (× 10@*CONCLUSION@#The experiment presents a method for establishing a mixed chimeric mice model after non-myeloablative bone marrow transplantation and constructs a mathematical model with relevant factors affected chimerism status.

Studies on chemical constituents and antibacterial activity from n-butanol extract of Sarcandra glabra / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the chemical constituents and the antibacterial activity from n-butanol extract of Sarcandra glabra.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The compounds were isolated by Diaion HP-20, Sephadex LH-20, MCI CHP-20 and silica gel column chromatographic methods. Their structures were identified on the basis of physicochemical and spectroscopic analysis. The antibacterial effect of the compounds were measured against Staphylococcus aureus by filterpaper slice method, finally the antibacterial ring in each group was recorded after 24 hours.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Seven constituents were isolated and elucidated as 5, 7, 3', 4'-tetrahydroxy-6-C-beta-D-glucopyranosylflavanone (1), kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-glucuronide (2), fraxidin (3), isofraxidin (4), isofraxidin-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5), kaempferol (6), pinostrobin (7). Diameters (in mm) of antibacterial ring in the compounds 2, 5, 6 were orderly recorded as follows: 14.67 +/- 0.08, 11.14 +/- 1.06, 8.26 +/- 1.26 and the compound 4 is not effective.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compounds 1-3 and 5 were isolated from S. glabra for the first time.</p>
