Paeonol ameliorates hepatic inflammation and oxidative stress injury on murine with alcoholic liver injury by regulating JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway / 中国药理学通报

Aim To investigate the mechanism of action of paeonol based on JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway to ameliorate liver inflammation and oxidative stress injury induced by acute alcohol stimulation in mice. Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, silibinin group (36. 8 mg • kg

Changes of glucagon-like peptide-2 expression in serum and ileum after colectomy in rats / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore the effect of colectomy on the expression of glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) in serum and ileum and compare the changes of GLP-2 after different colectomy in rats.Methods Eighty male or female rats,aging 3-4 months old,were recruited in this study.The rats weight 180-250 g.The 80 rats were evenly and randomly distributed into 4 groups according to the surgical procedures they underwent:control group,in which the rats were not performed any procedures; sham surgery group,in which the rats underwent laparotomy ;left hemicolectomy group,in which the rats were performed left hemicolectomy;and subtotal colectomy group,in which the rats were performed subtotal colectomy.According to execution time,each group had 4 subgroups,including 0 day group,10 day group,20 day group and 30 day group,and 5 rats were included in each subgroup.The whole blood was collected through cardiac puncture.Serum was collected and GLP-2 in serum was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The GLP-2 in ileum was studied by immunohistochemistry staining.The length of villus of ileum was also measured by HE staining.Results The protein of GLP-2 was found in fibroblasts,epithelium and endocrine cells in ileum.Compared with control group and sham surgery group,the expressions of GLP-2 in serum and ileum increased significantly in the rats that underwent left hemicolectomy after surgery(all P ＜ 0.05),and it was increasing with time.The villus length of the rats underwent left hemicolectomy also increased significantly compared with the control group and sham surgery groups 20 days and 30 days after surgery(all P ＜ 0.05).The expressions of GLP-2 in serun and ileum and villus length of the rats with subtotal colectomy were not significantly different from those of the control group and sham surgery group(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The expressions of GLP-2 in serum and ileum are elevated after left hemicolectomy but not in subtotal colectomy,which may be related to the delayed intestinal adaption after colectomy.

Mitochondria DNA 4977 bp common deletion in peripheral whole blood from healthy donors / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

To investigate the distribution of mitochondria DNA 4 977 bp deletion, a common deletion (CD), in normal populations of Chinese, human peripheral blood samples from sixty healthy donors were collected, and levels of the CD in genomic DNA from the samples were detected using real-time PCR. The results showed that the CD was found in 27 health donors, with its positive rate being 45% (27/60). The CD ratio was between 0 and 0.00308%, and not affected by age and gender in sixty healthy donors. Our studies indicate that the CD ratio is low, and do not show the age-dependent accumulation and any gender difference in peripheral whole blood from the normal Chinese population.

Qualitative evaluation on literatures related with treatment of lung cancer with combined use of chemotherapy and Chinese herbs / 中国中西医结合杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the quality of clinical literatures related with treatment of lung cancer with combined use of chemotherapy and Chinese herbs in respect of the scientific research design adapted.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>According to the "Scale for Quality and Information Evaluation of TCM Clinical Research Literature" formulated by the group of methodology of this article, the literatures related with lung cancer published between 1979 to 2000 were evaluated in respect of the randomization and controlling of the trial.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The method of randomization was not described in 93.7% of the literatures; problems or mistakes of randomized allocation existed in 2.5%, with no record about the state of dropped out or absconded cases in follow-up study in 29.1%, also no record about case screening was found in all the literatures. Besides, the blind trial method was seldom used, also some problems of key links concerning samples homogeneity and conclusion reasoning presented. All these bugs could influence quality of the randomized control trial.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Randomized control trial has been applied progressively in TCM clinical researches of lung cancer, however, there are still problems such as insufficiency of samples, and improving of the reliability and quality of the trial is needed.</p>
