ABSTRACT
Objective:To detect the repair effect of brain protein hydrolyzate(BPH)on the oxidative damage induced by H2O2in the PC12 cells,and to optimize the prescription of BPH stomach floating tablets using the star design effect surface method.Methods:The PC12 cells in the logarithmic phase were divided into normal control group,model group(300 μmol·L-1H2O2),BPH group,artificial gastric juice-treated BPH(GBPH)group, artificial intestinal juice-treated BPH(IBPH)group,artificial gastric juice-treated BPH tablets(GBPH-T)group and artificial gastric juice-treated BPH floating tablets(GBPH-FT)group(The latter five groups were added with 20,40,60,80 and 100 mg·L-1BPH treated with different conditions);at the same time blank control group was set up.The PC12 cells in normal control group didn't receive any treatment,the blank control group was added with medium only,and the PC12 cells in model group were treated with H2O2(300 μmol·L-1)for 3 h. The cell viability was detected by MTT assay.Using Design-expert 8.0.6 Trial software,the dosages of HPMC-K4M,octadecanol and acrylic resin Ⅱ were used as the investigation factors,and the 8 h cumulative release in vitro was used as the evaluation index to optimize the prescription.Results:Compared with normal control group, the activity of PCl2cells in 60 mg·L-1BPH group was increased(P<0.05).Compared with model group,the vitalities of PC12 cells in BPH group,IBPH group,GBPH group and GBPH-FT group were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Compared with BPH group,the cell viability in IBPH group was decreased significantly (P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in GBPH group(P>0.05).Compared with GBPH-T group, the cell viability in GBPH-FT group was significantly increased(P<0.05).The optimal prescription was BPH 20 mg,lactose 10 mg,magnesium stearate 0.4 mg,microcrystalline cellulose 20 mg,HPMC-K4M 27 mg, octadecanol 63 mg,acrylic resinⅡ13 mg;all floating tablets drift in 5 s and sustained floating > 8 h;the difference of the measured value of 8 h cumulative release and the predicted value was not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion:BPH has a significant repair effect on the H2O2-induced oxidative damage in the PC12 cells.Star design-effect surface method has good predictability and reproducibility;it is reasonable and feasible, and can be used to optimize the prescription of BPH stomach floating tablets.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the protective effect of deproteinized extract of calf blood (DECB) on the kidney injury of the diabetic rats, and to discuss its mechanism preliminarily.Methods:The male Wistar rats were intraperitoneally injected with STZ (65 mg·kg-1) to establish the diabetes models, then the model rats were randomly divided into model (M)group, and metformin (MMet, 105 mg·kg-1) group , low dose of combined administration (ML,105 mg·k-1 metformin+94.5 mg·kg-1 ,DECB) group, medium dose of combined administration(MM, 105 mg·kg-1 metformin+ 189 mg·kg-1 DECB) group, high dose of combined administration(MH, 105 mg·kg-1 metformin +378 mg·kg-1,DECB) group, another ten Wistar rats were selected as normal control(NC)group.The rats were intragastrically administed with metformin and intraperitoneally injected with DECB, once a day, total of 8 weeks.The rats in NC group and M group were given normal saline solution.The weights and blood glucose levels of the rats in various groups were determined;the levels of serum high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urinary albumin (UAlb), urine creatinine (UCR), serum creatinine (SCr), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), uric acid (UA), glutathione (GSH), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were detected;the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were determined.The pathological changes of kidney tissue of the rats in various groups were detected by HE staining.Results:Compared with NC group, the weight of the rats in M group was reduced(P<0.05),and the levels of blood glucose,UAlb,UCr,SCr,UA,BUN,LDL-C,TC,TG,and MDA were increased(P<0.05);the levels of HDL-C and GSH were obviously reduced(P<0.05),and the activities of SOD adn GSH-Px were obviously reduced(P<0.05).Compared with M group,the weights of the rats in MM and MH groups were increased (P<0.05), and the levels of blood glucose,UAlb,UCr,SCr,UA,BUN,LDL-C,TC,TG, and MDA were decreased (P< 0.05);the levels of HDL-C and GSH were increased (P<0.05),and the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased (P<0.05).The pathological observation of kidney tissue showed that the rats in M group had obvios kidney tissue lesions with glomerular congestion and renal tubular edema compared with NC group;compared with M group,the pathological changes of the kidney tissue of the rats in drug administration groups were significantly improved, the renal tubular vacuoles were reduced, and the interstitial hyperplasia was not obvious.Conclusion:DECB combined with metformin can reduce the blood glucose level, regulate blood lipid, improve the pathological changes of kidney tissue in the diabetic rats, reduce the renal damage, and enhance the antioxidant capacity of the body.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the protective effect of deproteinized extract of calf blood (DECB)on the ethanol-induced liver injury of the mice,and to preliminaryly discuss its mechanism. Methods:Sixty healthy ICR mice were divided into control group,model group,positive drug group,low,medium and high doses of DECB groups (n=10).By intragastric administration,the mice in control group were given 20 mL·kg-1 saline solution, the mice in low,medium and high doses of DECB groups were administrated with 0.125,0.250,0.500 g·kg -1 DECB,and the mice in positive drug group were administrated with 0.63 g·kg -1 Hugan Tablets;once a day for 30 d. 1 h after the last administration,except control group,the mice in other groups were administrated with one-time grant of 50% ethanol 14 mL·kg -1 ,and fasted for 16 h to establish the models of acute alcohol liver injury.The endurance alcohol time and drunk time of the mice were determined,the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (ALT)and alanine transaminase (AST)activity in serum of the mice were detected,the levels of triglyceride (TG),glutathione (GSH)and malonic dialdehyde (MDA)in liver tissue were determined,and the pathological changes of liver tissue were detected.Results:Compared with model group,the drunk symptoms of the mice in different doses of DECB groups were obviously reduced,the endurance time of the mice in high dose of DECB group and positive drug group was prolonged (P <0.05),and the drinking time was shortened (P <0.05);the ALT and AST activities in serum in mediun and high doses of DECB groups were significantly lower than those in model group (P <0.05).Compared with model group,the MDA and TG levels in liver tissue of the mice in medium and high doses of DECB groups and positive drug group were obviously reduced,and the GSH levels were increased (P <0.05);compared with model group,the pathological damages of liver tissue of the mice in high dose of DECB group caused by ethanol were significantly reduced.Conclusion:DECB can improve ethanol-induced liver injury which may be related to the inhibition of hepatic oxidative stress response.
