ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of periploca forrestii schltr in the treatment of acute gout arthritis.Methods:60 healthy male SD rats were equally randomly divided into 6 groups:normal control group( NC) ,model group( M group) ,colchicine group (C group),high doses group of periploca forrestii schltr(HD group),middle doses group of periploca forrestii schltr(MD group) and low doses group of periploca forrestii schltr( LD group).Except the normal control group,model of gouty arthritis was induced in other groups by uric acid salt,colchicine(positive control) and different dose of periploca forrestii schltr were given by intragastric ad minis-tration.Swelling dimension of joints were observed at 3,5,7 days after treatment.All rats were killed after 7 days of treatment and ankle joint tissue was taken for pathological examination and the peripheral blood of rats was prepared for detecting the expression of interleukin 1β(IL-1β),IL-6,IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α) using enzyme linked immunosorbent test(ELISA).Results:The ankle joint swelling of periploca forrestii schltr group was significantly lower than that in the model group,and the effect of high doses group was much better than the low doses group after 7 days treatment(P<0.05);compared with model group,the inflammatory cells of each treatment groups were decreased and high doses group did not differ from that of normal control group;the levels of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-αin periploca forrestii schltr group were dramatically lower than those in the model group in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion:Periploca forrestii schltr has good therapeutic effect in rats with acute gouty arthritis and shows a dose-dependent response,and the mechanism may relate to the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the dynamic change of polysaccharide from Asarum insigne in Guizhou during different harvest period and its hemostatic effect. Methods Asarum insigne polysaccharide was extracted by water isolation and alcohol precipitation. We measured the polysaccharide content by UV spectrophotometry after impurity and purification and detected the bleeding and clotting time by tail cutting and slide methods in mice. Results There was significant variation in polysaccharide content of Asarum insigne at different harvest time, which was at a higher level in June(1. 78%-1. 82%). The bleeding time in mice of normal control group was (6. 73±1. 21) min,and that in mice treated with refined polysaccharide at high dose was (4. 91±1. 58) min,the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P<0. 01). The clotting time in mice of normal control group was (7. 27±2. 09) min,and that in the refined polysaccharide at middle and high dose groups was (3. 96±1. 78) min and (3. 27±1. 61) min,respectively. The latter two groups were obviously different from the normal control group(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion The polysaccharide is an active hemostatic substance in Asarum insigne and the optimum harvest time of it is in June for the clinical use.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of Shui ethnic medicine Maguangwa .Methods Acetic acid-provoked writhing and hot plate provocation of pain were adopted to observe the analgesic effect of Shui ethnic medicine Maguangwa ,and xylene-induced ear swelling was used to observe the anti-inflammatory effect of Shui ethnic medicine Maguangwa There were five experimental groups ,i .e .,the blank control group ,the aspirin group(positive control) ,the 0 .84 g/kg Shui ethnic medicine Maguangwa group(group Ⅰ) ,the 0 .42 g/kg Shui ethnic medicine Maguangwa group(group Ⅱ ) ,and the 0 .21 g/kg Shui ethnic medicine Maguangwa group(group Ⅲ) .Results The writhing latency increased significantly and the writhing frequency de-creased significantly in the positive control group ,group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ ,when compared with the blank control group(P0 .05) .Before medica-tion the pain threshold of mice in each group differed insignificantly (P>0 .05) .At 30 min ,60 min ,90 min and 120 min after medi-cation ,the pain threshold increased significantly in the positive control group ,group Ⅰ ,and group Ⅱ ,when compared to the blank control group(P0 .05) ,or between group Ⅲ and the blank control group(P>0 .05) .When compared with the blank control group ,the right ear mass and degree of swelling decreased significantly in the positive control group ,group I and group Ⅱ (P0 .05) ,or between group Ⅲ and the blank control group(P>0 .05) .Conclusion Shui ethnic medicine Maguangwa exhibits potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects in a dose-dependent manner .
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate genetic polymorphism of 3 STR loci in Bouyei ethnic group in Guizhou.Methods The DNAs of 101 healthy unrelated Bouyei individuals in Guizhou were extracted using chelex-100 method and were multiplex amplificated by PCR technique and the denatured PAGE was used, the PCR product was typied using silver stain method. The data was statistically analysed by modified-powerstat software package. Results A total of 21 alleles and 50 genotypes were observed in the 3 loci and the distributions of these genotypes were consistent with the law of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The heterozygosity(H) of CSF1PO, TPOX and TH01 loci were 0.7287,0.5423 and 0.6904; the polymorphism information content(PIC) were 0.6805,0.4479 and 0.6426; the discrimination power(DP) were 0.8782,0.7361 and 0.8563 and the probabilities of paternity exclusion (PPE)were 0.6148、0.3643 and 0.5737 respectively. Conclution CSF1PO and THOX are highly genetic polymolphism, which is valuable for population genetic research and forensic individual identification. The distrbution of gene frequencies and their area of ethnic groups have parallel relation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the distribution of ABO blood group in Tibetans population and their genetic relationship. Methods Data of ABO blood group of 28 Titetan populations were collected from China and India. The gene frequencies were processed by Phylip3. 68 and MEGA4. 1 genetic analysis software pack, and the Nei's genetic distance was imported and the genetic relationship was analyzed. Results The distribution of ABO blood group among Gansu, Qianghai, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, and India was 0 ＞ A ＞ B ＞ AB. The nation index and genetic distance were 0. 63 ～ 0.98 and 0 ～0. 0072, respectively. Conclusion There is probable historical relationship among the ancestors of these Tibetan populations, but the differentiation incident of Tibetan population living in different area in history was different, so that their distribution of gene frequencies is diversified.
