RESUMO
@#Abstract: To date, the investigation of the functional composition of Centella asiatica (L.) Urban has been mainly focused on the triterpenoid saponins, with little research on the other compositions. The acetic acid-induced writhing, Eddy's hot plate and formalin tests were employed to investigate the anti-nociceptive effects of madecassic acid (MA). The experiment was divided into normal control group, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) group, and the MA groups of low (10 mg/kg), medium (20 mg/kg) and high (40 mg/kg) dosage. Meanwhile, the anti-nociceptive effect of MA on the acetic acid and formalin-induced nociceptive models in the absence and presence of NAL (naloxone hydrochloride) was evaluated. To have an insight into the anti-nociceptive mechanisms of MA, the capsaicin- and glutamate-induced paw licking tests were also employed to evaluate the involvement of the vanilloid and glutamatergic systems, respectively. Results showed that MA exhibited good anti-nociceptive activity in the acetic acid-induced writhing test and the second phase of formalin test; the anti-nociceptive effect of MA in both the acetic acid and formalin-induced nociception was not effectively removed by NAL; MA (20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg) effectively reduced the duration of biting/licking the capsaicin-injected paw with inhibition rates of 29.5% and 64.4%, respectively; MA (20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg) distinctly shortened the time spent in biting/licking the glutamate-injected paw by 30.9% and 56.1%, respectively. In summary, MA induces significant peripheral anti-nociceptive effect, and the anti-nociceptive activities probably involve the modulation of glutamatergic systems and vanilloid systems (TRPV1) instead of the opioidergic system.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To analyze the blood screening results of voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou from 2011 to 2019, so as to provide scientific basis for blood collection and supply in this area. 【Methods】 A total of 2 918 469 voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou were selected as research subjects, and their routine test data were statistically analyzed. 【Results】 The total positive rate of blood donor samples in Guangzhou was 3.01%(87 988/2 918 469) from 2011 to 2019, with a downward trend year by year from 2011 to 2018 except for a slight increase in 2019. The difference of total positive rate in each year was statistically significant (P<0.05). The ELISA-yielding rate(1.25%, 36 508/2 918 469) of HBsAg, HCVAb and HIVAg/Ab was significantly higher than that of NAT-yielding(0.62%, 18 086/2 918 469)(P<0.05). In terms of annual positive rate of various tests, ALT was the highest (1.28%, 37 451/2 918 469), followed by HBsAg (0.82%, 23 827/2 918 469), and NAT (0.62%, 8 086/2 918 469), anti-TP (0.39%, 11 468/2 918 469), anti-HCV (0.31%, 9 155/2 918 469), HIVAg/Ab(0.12%, 3 526/2 918 469) and anti-HTLV (0.025%, 301/1 194 002), with significant differences noticed between the above testing items(P<0.05). And 0.20% (5 947/2 918 469) of the samples were ELISA(-)/NAT(+ ), among which 30.02%(1 785/5 947)were discriminated as positive, including 99.38% (1 774/1 785) HBV positive, 0.28%(5/1 785) HCV positive, and 0.34% (6/17 85) HIV positive samples, with HBV, relative to HCV and HIV, as the most significantly prevalent markers (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 ALT and HBsAg were the two primary deferral causes in Guangzhou, and corresponding testing of those two items could contribute to the minimize of blood discarding, as HTLV EPIDEMIC is STILL IN A LOW PREVALENCE LEVEL.ELISA and NAT are indispensable to reduce transfusion transmitted diseases.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate kinetic expression of genes T-bet and GATA-3 in blood mononuclear cells (BMCs) in allergic rhinitis rats model at different stages of development of allergic rhinitis.@*METHOD@#Twenty SD rats (including 10 male and 10 female) were divided into 2 groups, experimental group and control group, randomly, 10 rats for each group. Ten rats in experimental group were sensitized and intranasally challenged by OVA, aluminium hydroxide hydrate gel and Bordelella pertussis inactive microorganism suspension (B. pertussis) adjuvants, as allergic rhinitis models, Ten rats in control group were investigated using physiological saline only. BMCs were separated from 2 ml blood which was extracted from rat heart at the end of sensitization, 10- hour after the first challenge and 10-hour after the final challenge, respectively. RT-PCR was utilized to detect the expression of T-bet and GATA-3.@*RESULT@#At the end of sensitization, 10-hour after the first challenge and 10-hour after the final challenge, in experimental group, Relative quantitation of expression of T-bet was 0.404 +/- 0.187, 1.676 +/- 0.708, 0.503 +/- 0.514 and that of GATA-3 was 0.434 +/- 0.147, 0.600 +/- 0.480, 1.029 +/- 0.690, respectively. While, In control group, Relative quantitation of expression of T-bet was 0.487 +/- 0.212, 0.486 +/- 0.148, 0.495 +/- 0.103 and and its of GATA-3 was 0.596 +/- 0.249, 0.474 +/- 0.101, 0.550 +/- 0.119, respectively. At 10-hour after the first challenge, relative quantitation of expression of T-bet in experimental group was increased markedly and there was significant difference compared with contol group (t=4.18, P<0.01). In experimental group, The amount of expression of T-bet at 10-hour after first challenge was higher than it at 10-hour after the final challenge and there was markedly difference (t=5.14, P<0.01). The amount of expression of T-bet at 10-hour after first challenge was increased significantly compared with it at the end of sensitization (t= 5.27, P<0.01). while, the expression of GATA-3 at 10-hour after final challenge was markedly increased compared with it at the end of sensitization (t= 3.51, P<0.05) and was higher than it at 10-hour after first challenge (t=2.53, P<0.05). At 10-hour after final challenge, The amount of expression of GATA-3 in experimental group was significantly higher than it in control group (t=2.71, P<0.05). However, both the expression of GATA-3 and T-bet had not markedly changed in control group.@*CONCLUSION@#It is thought that the development of allergic rhinitis is a successive and sequencing kinetic course, and imbalance of expression of GATA-3 and T-bet may be genetic base on allergic rhinitis, both GATA-3 and T-bet were involved in allergic rhinitis only in different phase of development of allergic rhinitis.

Mechano-growth factor (MGF) is one of IGF-1 isoforms. MGF is mechanosensitive and has important functions in muscle hypertrophy, regeneration and nerve injury recovery. In this study, MGF cDNA (330 bp) was cloned from stretched osteoblasts by RT-PCR. In order to avoid prolin residue inhibiting enterokinase cleavage, 9bp of MGF cDNA 5' end sequence was truncated by primer, then the obtained truncated MGF (des(1-3)MGF) cDNA (321 bp) was subcloned in pET32a(+) vector to construct a prokaryotic recombination expression plasmid. Trx/des(1-3)MGF fusion protein, existing in forms of solution, was expressed in transformed Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3) by IPTG induction at 30 degres C. The supernatant of cell lysates was subjected to ion exchange chromatography and Ni2+ metal affinity chromatography, and the fusion protein was obtained with the purity over 95%. After the fusion protein was cleaved by enterokinase, Trx and des(1-3)MGF was isolated by reverse-phase HPLC. Through these procedures, des(1-3) MGF was obtained with the purity of 98%. The protein molecular mass was conformity to the theoretical value by SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry analysis. The purified des(1-3)MGF was incubated with MC3T3-E1 for cell proliferation and migration assays. The results show that des(1-3)MGF exhibited more facilitative effects on proliferation and migration of MC3T3-E1 than that of des(1-3)IGF-1.
