RESUMO
Objective To inVestigate the Potential mechanism and ProtectiVe effects of osthole on rats with focal cerebral ischemia_rePerfusion injury. Methods Middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced by the suture_occluded method. After 2 h of cerebral ischemia and 24 h of rePerfusion,scores of neurological deficits and infarct Volume were eValuated. The leVels of SOD,MDA,GSH and ATPase were also determined. Results Scores of neurological deficits and infarct Volume were lower in the osthole grouPs than in the model grouP. Meanwhile,the actiVity of SOD and GSH content were increased,while the MDA content was decreased in osthole grouPs. Conclusion Osthole exerts ProtectiVe effects on rats with focal cerebral ischemia_rePerfusion injury.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate and compare the killing effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT)induced by hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD),hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) and photocarcinorin (PsD007) on human leukemia cells K562 in vitro.Methods Human leukemia cells were cultured with serial concentrations of photosensitizers followed by irradiation of different dosage of laser light,then MTT colorimetric assay was applied to measure the relative survival rate of PDT for the cells.Results Significant difference in the inhibitory between the PDT group and control group was observed (P＜0.05).The survival rate of PDT for the cells elevated along with the increase in the concentration of sensitizer and dose of laser light.When the photosensitizer concentration was bigger (25 μg/ml) or the energy density was bigger (7.2 J/cm2),the effect of PsD007 was better than HMME,and they were significantly better than HpD (P＜0.05).Conclusion PDT has significant killing effect on human leukemia cells K562,and its relative inhibitory rate appears to be correlated with the dose of sensitizer and laser light irritation.The effect of PDT is related to the photosensitizers.The effect of HpD-PDT is not as effective as PsD007 and HMME.On the conditions of higher energy density and larger photosensitizer concentration,the effect of PsD007-PDT is better than HMME-PDT.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effects of HMME mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) on apoptosis of murine hepatoma cell line MM45T-Li.MethodsThe photodynamic treatment on MM45T-Li cells was performed in vitro using HMME as photosensitizer and 630 nm laser as light source.The ceils were incubated with HMME of 2.5,5,10 and 20 μg/ml for 4 h respectively,and then irradiated with laser at different dosages.The dark toxicity of HMME and the activity of cells after PDT were evaluated by MTT assay.The effect of PDT on apoptosis were observed by Hoechst fluorescent staining analysis.ResultsMTT assay showed that there were no significant effects on cell growth in each concentration group of HMME when the cells were not exposed to light.The inhibition ratio of cells increased with laser dosage at HMME concentration of 10 and 20 μg/ml.Chromatin condensation,nuclear pyknosis and karyorrhexis were observed after PDT by Hoechst fluorescent staining analysis.The apoptosis rate increased in groups of 5.4 J/cm2 and 7.2 J/cm2 compared with that of control (P＜0.05).Conclusion HMME mediated PDT can efficiently induce the apoptosis of MM45T-Li cells.
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the effect of Citalopram on clinical symptoms of chronic schizophrenia and life quality of female patients.Methods:52 female patients with chronic schizophrenia were divided into the research group(n=30)and the control group(n=22).Originally used drugs were retained for both groups , Citalopram was added in research group, and placebo was added in control, both for 12 weeks.PANSS, GQOLI-74, CGI-SI were used to evaluate the effects. Results:At the end of treatment, the total scores of PANSS, factor scores of negative symptoms, general psychopathology, lack of reaction, and depression significantly decreased in the research group (data P
