RESUMEN
Aim To investigate the effect of Lulong Zaisheng Decoction II on chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression in nude mice bearing colorectal cancer. Methods Male BALB/C nude mice were inoculated with human colon cancer cell HT-29 under the armpit. The tumor bearing nude mice were randomly divided into five groups: control group, chemotherapy group, positive drug group, Lulong Zaisheng Decoction II groups with high and low doses. The mice were given drugs by gavage once a day for 10 consecutive days. From the fourth day of the experiment, except for the control group, the nude mice were intraperitoneally injected with 5-FU at dose of 25 mg • kg
RESUMEN
The study aimed to investigate the mechanism of hepatoprotective effect of C-21 steroidal glucosides from Cynanchum auriculatum( Baishouwu) on oxidative stress in mice with liver injury. Mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive control group,Baishouwu high group and Baishouwu low group. The liver injury model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 peanut oil solution. All mice were sacrificed to collect blood and liver specimens. The activities of serum levels of ALT and AST were detected. The content of MDA and the activity of SOD in liver homogenate were examined by colorimetry method. Tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for histological examination. The hepatic protein expressions of NF-κB p65,p-IκBα,i NOS and COX-2 were detected by Western blot. The mRNA expressions of TNF-α and IL-6 were determined by RT-PCR. It was found that treatment with C-21 steroidal glucosides from Baishouwu successfully attenuated liver injury induced by CCl4,as shown by decreased levels of serum biochemical indicators( AST,ALT)( P<0. 01). Administration of total C-21 steroidal glucosides enhanced the activity of SOD( P<0. 01) and decreased the content of MDA( P<0. 01) in liver homogenate. Microscopic features suggested that treatment with C-21 steroidal glucosides from Baishouwu was effective in inhibiting CCl4-induced hepatocyte edema and degeneration. Further studies showed that NF-κB p65 overexpression induced by CCl4 was decreased by C-21 steroidal glucosides,leading to the markedly down-regulated protein expression levels of p-IκBα,i NOS and COX-2,as well as the depression of TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA expressions. In conclusion,total C-21 steroidal glucosides from Baishouwu exhibited potent effect on oxidative stress pathway in mice with liver injury induced by CCl4,with enhanced activity of SOD,decreased content of MDA,and down-regulated levels of NF-κB p65,p-IκBα,i NOS and COX-2.

Objective To validate the performance parameters of DIRUI FUS-2000 automated urine analyzer declared by the manufacturer.Methods The fresh urine samples were diluted with special diluent to different concentration of suspension according to experimental requirements,then such parameters were validated as the precision,carrying pollution rate,detection limit and reportable range.At the same time,the coincidence rate of red blood cells and white blood cells was also verified in urine samples tested by FUS-2000 according to the result of manual inspection.Results RBC had the low and median values for within-run precision being 7.74% and 6.13% respectively,and WBC had the low and median values for within-run precision being 14.35% and 2.45% respectively.The negative and positive quality control materials had the between-run precision being 0% and 3.43% respectively.The carrying pollution rate was 0.08% for RBC and 0.57% for WBC,and the detection limits for RBC and WBC were both 10 ones per Liter.The reportable range was from 10 to 38 754 p/μl for RBC and from 10 to 32 202 p/μl for WBC.The coincidence rate with artificial microscopy was 90.83% for RBC and 95.83% for WBC.Conclusion FUS-2000's performance parameters are in line with the requirement,and it can be used for the clinical urine detection.The review criteria of FUS-2000 should be established to improve distinguishing sensitivity and specificity of RBC and WBC in urine.
