ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of different dose of persicae semen extract extract(PSE) to barrier function of the intestinal mucous membrane and immunologic function in acute pancreatitis rats.Methods:A total of 48 rats were divided into model control group,low dose,medial dose and high dose PSE groups,and there were 12 rats in each group.Another 12 rats were Sham-operation group.After anesthesia recovery,rats in low dose,medial dose and high dose PSE groups respectively received PSE 0.12 g/kg,0.248 g/kg and 0.36 g/kg,and rats in Sham-operation group and model control group receive isovolumetric distilled water,once per 6 h,4 times in 24 hours.All rats were anesthetized by 10%chloral hydrate after in 24th hour after dosing.Thorax and enterocoelia were opened; 5 ml of blood were respectively drawed to EDTA-anticoagulation tube and un-anticoagulation tube from aorta abdominalis.CD4+, CD8+and Treg cells were determined by direct fluorescent-labelded flow cytometry.IgA, IgG and IgM were determined by immunoturbidimetry.Serum amylase was determined by EPS-G7 substrate,D-lactic acid was determined by enzymology, and serum diamine oxidase was determined by active ration of colorimetry method.Pathological examination of small intestine mucous membrane tissue was taken after HE staining.sIgA in small intestine was determined by radioimmunoassay.mRNA of TLR4 and NF-κBp65 in small intestine tissue was determined by RT-PCR.Results:(1) Serum amylase,D-lactic acid and diamine oxidase in medial dose and high dose PSE groups were significantly decreased ( P<0.01 ) , and sIgA in small intestine was significantly increased ( P<0.01).These indicators were significantly different in medial dose and high dose PSE groups(P<0.01).(2) CD4+and CD4+/CD8+in medial dose and high dose PSE groups were significantly increased(P<0.01),and CD8+,Treg cells were significantly decreased(P<0.01) compared with those in low dose PSE group.These indicators were significantly different in medial dose and high dose PSE groups(P<0.01).(3) IgA,IgG and IgM in medial dose and high dose PSE groups were significantly decreased(P<0.01) compared with those in low dose PSE group.These indicators were significantly different in medial dose and high dose PSE groups(P<0.01).(4) Small intestine mucous membrane tissue in Sham-operation group was not damaged significantly,but that in model control group was damaged significantly.Small intestine mucous membrane tissue in low dose PSE group was similar to that in model control group,and damage in medial dose and high dose PSE groups was decreased significantly.( 5 ) mRNA of TLR4 and NF-κBp65 in small intestine tissue in medial dose and high dose PSE groups were significantly increased ( P<0.01 ) compared with those in low dose PSE group.These indicators were significantly different in medial dose and high dose PSE groups ( P<0.01 ).Conclusion: PSE has protective effect to barrier function of the intestinal mucous membrane,and significantly improve the immunologic function.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the different pharmacodynamic effects of Persicae Semen extract (PSE) on the blood circulation disorder of rats induced by cold congeal and blood stasis syndrome (cold syndrome, CS), and heat congeal and blood stasis syndrome (heat syndrome, HS). Methods: Eighty rats were randomly divided into eight groups including normal control group of CS, model group of CS, PSE (8 g/kg) group of CS, Chanxiong Rhizoma (8 g/kg) group of CS, normal control group of HS, model group of HS, PSE (8 g/kg) group of HS, and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix (14 g/kg) group of HS. The two rat models were established by freezing and injection of carrageenan solution. The rats in each group were ig administered once daily for 7 d. The blood flow velocity (Fve) and blood viscosity (Vis) were detected; The organs (such as heart, lung, liver, kidney, and spleen) were taken and observed by histopathological analysis; The diameters of tiny blood vessels were measured by pathology image analysis software, and the thrombosis and tissue injury were observed. Results: PSE increased Fve but decreased Vis in CS and HS rats (P < 0.05), made the small artery in CS rats systolic, while that in HS rats diastolic (P < 0.05). The organ injury severity score indicated PSE could attenuate the injury of many organs (such as heart, lung, liver, and kidney) in CS rats, but only attenuated the injury of kidney in HS rats (P < 0.05). Conclusion: PSE could improve the blood circulation disorder induced by CS and HS. The different effects of PSE on the two kinds of syndromes include the regulation of the diastolic and systolic states of rat small artery and the different protection of rat organs.
