Study on inhibitory effects of Wubao capsule on airway inflammation in asthmatic model mice by regulating the upstream and downstream cytokines of type Ⅱ innate lymphoid cells / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Wubao capsule on airway inflammation in asthmatic model mice by regulating upstream and downstream cytokines of type Ⅱ innate lymphoid cells （ILC2s）. METHODS Totally 40 female BABL/c mice were randomly divided into normal group， model group， positive control group （dexamethasone 1 mg/kg）， Wubao capsule low-dose and high-dose groups （0.5， 1 g/kg）， with 8 mice in each group. Asthma models were induced by ovalbumin （OVA） sensitization and nebulization. Each group was given normal saline or drug intragastrically for 7 consecutive days. The contents of IgE and OVA-IgE in serum， the contents of interleukin 5 （IL-5）， IL-9， IL-13， IL-25， IL-33， thymic stromal lymphopoietin （TSLP） and mucin 5AC （MUC5AC） in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF） were determined by ELISA. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissues in mice. PAS staining was used to observe the changes of goblet cell proliferation in each group. The number of ILC2s in lung tissue was determined by flow cytometry （except for Wubao capsule low-dose group）. RESULTS Compared with model group， the contents of IgE and OVA-IgE in serum and the contents of IL-5， IL-9， IL-13， IL-25， IL-33， TSLP and MUC5AC in BALF were significantly reduced in Wubao capsule high-dose and low-dose groups （P＜0.01）. The infiltration of inflammatory cells and the thickening of basement membrane in lung tissue was alleviated to varying degrees， and the proliferation of goblet cells was inhibited； the number of ILC2s in lung tissues of mice in Wubao capsule high-dose group was significantly reduced （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Wubao capsule could effectively reduce the number of ILC2s in lung tissue， the contents of upstream and downstream cytokines of ILC2s in BALF of asthmatic model mice， so as to inhibit the airway inflammation and improve asthma.

Simultaneous determination of seven constituents in Chuanbei Luohan Zhike Granules by HPLC-ELSD / 中成药

AIM To establish an HPLC-ELSD method for the simultaneous content determination of euscaphic acid,tormentic acid,crategolic acid,corosolic acid,platycodin E,platycodin D3 and platycodin D in Chuanbei Luohan Zhike Granules (Fritillariae cirrhosae Bulbus,Eriobotryae Folium,Platycodonis Radix,etc.).METHODS The analysis of 60％ methanol extract of this drug was performed on a 30 ℃ thermostatic Ultimate XB C18 column (4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile-0.5％ ammonium acetate flowing at 0.6 mL/min in a gradient elution manner.RESULTS Seven constituents showed good linear relationships within their own ranges (r ＞ 0.999 0),whose average recoveries were 96.99％-99.78％ with the RSDs of 0.72％-1.72％.CONCLUSION This accurate,simple,specific and reproducible method can be used for the quality control of Chuanbei Luohan Zhike Granules.

Effects of exercise on spleen T lymphocyte proliferation and T-lymphocyte subsets of SD rats / 中国免疫学杂志

Objective:To explore the effects of exercise on the spleen T lymphocyte proliferation and T lymphocyte subsets of SD rats.Methods:24 SD rats were divided into 3 groups randomly:control group,30 min exercise group,60 min exercise group;MTT and flow cytometry ( FCM ) were utilized to examine the spleen T lymphocyte proliferative capability and T lymphocyte subsets, respectively.Results:Compared with the control group,the T lymphocyte proliferation,levels of CD4+and CD4+/CD8+T lymphocytes in 30 min exercise group rats were significantly increased(P<0.05),levels of CD8+T lymphocytes in 30 min exercise group rats had no statistically significant change;the T lymphocyte proliferation,levels of CD4+,CD8+and CD4+/CD8+T lymphocytes in 60 min exercise group rats had no statistically significant changes.Conclusion: Suitable loaded exercise could enhance the cellular immune function, this is probably related with the mechanisms of improving the T lymphocyte proliferative capability and regulating the CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte subsets.

Clinical characteristics of pediatric hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome / 中国当代儿科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the clinical characteristics of pediatric hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), and to improve its understanding so as to reduce the misdiagnosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 26 children with HFRS between January 2009 and December 2012.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The age of disease onset was mainly distributed between 7 and 14 years (23 cases, 88%), and the male-to-female ratio was 1.89:l. The clinical manifestations of pediatric HFRS varied. The early symptoms resembled those of a cold, and in the course of HFRS, most patients developed digestive symptoms such as vomiting and abdominal pain. The laboratory examinations usually implicated platelet changes, and the imaging examinations revealed polyserous effusions. The prominent complication was myocardial injury.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Pediatric HFRS mainly occurs in school-age children, more commonly in males. HFRS does not have typical clinical manifestations or symptoms, so it should be distinguished from cold or appendicitis at the early stage. When applying the fluid replacement therapy, the cardiac function should be carefully monitored in case of heart failure.</p>

Primary splenic space occupying lesions(an analysis of 13 cases) / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the clinical feature, diagnosis and treatment for primary splenic space occupying lesions. Methods 13 cases with primary splenic space occupying lesions were retrospectively analyzed. Results Splenectomy and pathological diagnosis was performed in all cases,in which 10 cases were benign and 3 ca-ses were malignant. All discharged after cure. Conclusion Positioning diagnosis of primary splenic space occupying lesions depend on imaging examination(USG and CT) ,determinant diagnosis need pathological examination. This dis-ease should be accepted early surgery, splenectomy is basic operation.
