ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To study the improvement effects of ginsenoside Rb 3 combined with β-asarone on vascular dementia （VD）model mice and its mechanism. METHODS ：ICR mice were randomly divided into model group ，ginsenoside Rb 3 group（10 mg/kg），β-asarone group （10 mg/kg），drug combination group （ginsenoside Rb 3 10 mg/kg+β-asarone 10 mg/kg），positive control group（donepezil hydrochloride 1 mg/kg）and Akt inhibitor group （LY294002，1 mg/kg），and sham operation group was set up ， with 10 mice in each group. Except for sham operation group ，VD model was induced by four vessel occlusion method in other groups. After modeling ，sham operation group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline ，Akt inhibitor group was given relevant medicine intraperitoneally ，and other groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，twice a day ，for consecutive 30 d. After last administration ，the learning and memory ability of mice was detected by avoiding darkness test. The contents of 4-hydroxydecenoic acid （4-HNE），8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine （8-OHdG） and reactive oxygen species （ROS） in hippocampus was detected by ELISA. RT-PCR assay was used ， to detect the mRNA expression of Bcl- 2 and Bax inhippocampus. The protein expression of Bcl- 2 in cortex wadetected by immunofluorescence method. Western blotting deng- assay was used to detect the protein expression of Bcl- 2 and mz1@126.com Bax in hippocampus. RESULTS ： Compared with sham operation group ，the incubation period of avoiding darkness xiaoyinlanlp@126.com test in model group was shortened significantly ； and the number of errors was increased significa ntly；4-HNE，8-OHdG and ROS contents ，mRNA and protein expression of Bax were increased significantly ，and mRNA and protein expression of Bcl- 2 was decreased significantly （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group，the incubation period of avoiding darkness test was prolonged significantly in ginsenoside Rb 3 group，β-asarone group ，drug combination group and positive control group ，the number of errors was decreased significantly ；4-HNE，8-OHdG，ROS contents ， mRNA and protein expression of Bax were decreased significantly ，and mRNA and protein expression of Bcl- 2 were increased significantly，especially in drug combination group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. But the incubation period of avoiding darkness test was shortened significantly in Akt inhibitor group ，and the number of errors was increased significantly ；4-HNE，8-OHdG，ROS contents，mRNA and protein expression of Bax were increased significantly ，and mRNA and protein expression of Bcl- 2 were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Ginsenoside Rb 3 combined with β-asarone has a protective effect on VD model mice ，and the effect was better than that of each compound alone. The mechanism of which may be associated with anti-oxidative stress and anti-apoptosis of hippocampus.
ABSTRACT
Helicobacter pylori ( HP ) is the most common infectious pathogen of the digestive tract , since being identified in 1880s, its critical roles in many gastrointestinal and extra -gastrointestinal diseases have been confirmed.HP is involved in disease processes by different mechanisms ,one of which significantly important is the local or systemic inflammatory response and immune damage .HP could colonize in the gastric mucosa ,resulting in the elevation of many inflammatory mediators in stomach and serum .Many kidney diseases ,like glomerulonephritis ,renal failure and diabetic nephropathy have been confirmed to be related to inflammatory responses ,and HP could partici-pate in different kinds of kidney diseases by enhancing inflammatory responses to influence humoral or cellular immune response.This manuscript reviewed the research progress on the relationship between Hp and renal disease .
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and the incidence of gastric mucosal lesions in type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM)and diabetic kidney disease(DKD)patients with dyspepsia symptoms.Methods A total of 241 type 2 diabetic patients and 69 non -diabetic subjects with dyspeptic symptoms were enrolled in the study.Gastroduodenal lesions were observed by gastrointestinal endoscopy and the presence of Helicobacter pylori infection was identified by rapid urease test and serum IgG antibodies to Helicobacter pylori.Urine albumin excretion rate(UAE)at 24 hours was measured in all subjects.According to the urinary albumin excretion rate,patients were classified into diabetes mellitus group(DMgroup,with UAE 300mg/24h).Estimated glomerular filtration rate were above 60mL·min -1 ·(1.73m2 )-1 in the three groups of patients.The 69 cases of non -diabetic subjects were used as the control group.Results The prevalence of H pylori infection in the DKD group[145 /72(62.5%)]and the DKD group 2[34 /53(64.15%)]were significantly higher than those in the control group[28 /65(43.1%)](χ2 =3.901,P =0.04;χ2 =4.223,P =0.03)and the DM group [27 /63 (42.9%)](χ2 =4.104,P =0.04;χ2 =5.116,P =0.03).No significant differences of H.pylori prevalence were detected between the DKD groups(χ2 =1.304,P =0.29)as well as the DMgroup and the control group (χ2 =0.723,P =0.40).Gastroscopy results showed that the incidence of normal endoscopic performance in the DMgroup was higher than that of the control group(57.1% vs.38.5%,χ2 =4.612,P =0.03).There were no significant differences between the control group and DM group,DKD1 group and DKD2 group in the incidence of gastric mucosal lesions (Superficial gastritis:χ2 =1.206,0.912,0.707;erosive gastritis:χ2 =1.422,1.836 0.870;duodenal ulcer:χ2 =243.1, 1.716,2.233;gastric ulcer:χ2 =1.440,0.971,1.322 and esophagitis:χ2 =2.116,2.318,2.488,all P >0.05). Conclusion Diabetic nephropathy patients are more susceptible to Helicobacter pylori infection.There is no significant difference in the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori between type 2 diabetic nephropathy with microalbuminuria and with macroalbuminuria.There are no significant differences in the type of gastric mucosal lesion between Type 2 diabetes mellitus,diabetic nephropathy patients and non diabetic patients.
