ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the epidemiological and molecular virological characteristics in HBV-infected patients with copositive HBsAg and anti-HBs.Methods HBV serological markers were analyzed in 52 070 specimens.The epidemiological characteristics of HBsAg and anti-HBs simultaneously positive patients (the experimental group) and HBsAg positive and auti-HBs negative patients (the control group) were compared.The S protein of HBV coding region was amplified by semi-nested PCR and sequenced.The statistical differences between the two groups were compared in different gene regions,genotypes and different clinical diagnosis.Results HBsAg was positive in 20.40％ (10 621/52 070) of all specimens.In the patients with positive HBsAg,2.48％ (263/10 621) was positive anti-HBs.The prevalence of co-positive HBsAg and auti-HBs was higher in aged 0 to 9 years and greater than or equal to 80 years than that in other age,and the prevalence of positive HBsAg and negative anti-HBs was completely opposite.The mutation rate of S protein in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (1.52％ vs 0.81％,P ＜0.01) with the mutation in the major hydrophilic region (MHR) (1.68％ vs 0.57％,P ＜0.01).The mutation rates of S protein of HBV carriers,chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (1.47％ vs 0.65％,1.28％ vs 0.84％,2.21％ vs 0.44％,P ＜0.05,respectively),except for the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (1.97％ vs 2.21％,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Co-positive HBsAg and anti-HBs in HBV-infected patients was more common in HBsAg positive patients aged 0 to 9 years and greater than or equal to 80 years than the others.Coexistence of HBsAg and anti-HBs in HBV-infected patients may relate to immune escape caused by mutation of S protein (mainly MHR).The mutation rates of S protein in the two groups of patients,co-positive HBsAg and anti-HBs and the positive HBsAg combined with negative anti-HBs,were associated with the stage of liver disease.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the antithrombotic effect of orientoside.METHODS:The effects of prophylactic oriento_side on the clotting time in vitro and the systemic clots dissolution of mice,the plasma prothrombin time(PT),the kaolin partial thromboplastin time(KPTT),the thrombin time(TT),and the platelet aggregation induced by ADP and the euglobulin lysis time (ELT)in rabbits were studied.RESULTS:As compared with the normal saline group,orientoside(1,2,and 4mg/kg)signi_ficantly prolonged the clotting time of mice in vitro,yet which had no significant influence on the systemic clots dissolution of mice;while orientoside(0.625,1.25 and 2.5 mg/kg)significantly prolonged the PT,KPTT and TT of rabbits,and significantly inhibited platelet aggregation of rabbits induced by ADP,yet which had no significant influence on the ELT of the rabbits.CONCLUSION:Orientoside can significantly inhibit the formation of thrombus.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】To observe the effects of bamboo leaf extract(BLE)on cerebral ischemia.【Methods】 Effect of BLE(at the concentrations of 10,20 and 40 mg/kg respectively,iv)on rabbit carotid thrombus induced by cotton thread was observed.Meanwhile,the effects of BLE(at the concentrations of 15,30 and 60 mg/kg respectively,iv)on neurological deficit and cerebral infarct size in rats with middle cerebral arterial obstruction(MCAO),as well as the effects of BLE(at the concentrations of 22.5,45,and 90?mg/kg respectively,iv)on mice stroke index,grasping time of decapitated mice and survival time of mice subjecting to bilateral carotid ligation were also observed.【Results】BLE inhibited rabbit carotid thrombosis,improved neurological deficit and reduced cerebral infarct size in MCAO rats(P
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the antihypoxic effect of orientoside on hypoxia model rats.METHODS:The hy-poxia rats model was established through normobaric hypoxia,poisoning with sodium nitrite,potassium cyanide and lidocaine,trachea occlusion,decapitation,etc.20minutes prior to the modeling,the rats were administered with the corresponding drugs with the anti-hypoxic effects observed.RESULTS:As compared with placebo group,the survival time of rats under nor-mobaric hypoxia,poisoned by sodium nitrite,potassium cyanide and lidocaine,and the electrocardiograph extinction time after trachea occlusion and the gasping time of mice after decapitation were all significantly prolonged by orientoside.CONCLU-SION:Orientoside has antihypoxic effect on hypoxia model rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective This study evaluates the Anti- hypoxic effect of Fo li um Bambusae extract (FBE). Methods The survival time of mice under the conditi on of closed normobaric hypoxia, and those subjected to KCN, NaNO2 and lidoc aine poisoning, and the time of electrocardiograph disappearance after occlusio n of trachea and the duration of continuous gasping in mice after decapitation were used to evaluate the Anti- hypoxic effect of FBE. Results FBE ( 22.5 m g/kg, 45.0 mg/kg, 90.0 mg/kg) prolonged the survival time of mice under the c ondition of closed normobaric hypoxia, prolonged the survival time in mice subj ected to KCN, NaNO2 and lidocaine poisoning and prolonged the time of electro cardiograph disappearance and the duration of gasping in decapitated mice. Conc lusion FBE can increase the anti- hypoxic effect of animals.
