玉竹多糖对小鼠的抗疲劳作用

为了探讨玉竹多糖(POP)的抗氧化和抗疲劳的效果,我们通过水煮提取玉竹多糖,利用乙醇沉淀、丙酮洗脱以及三氯乙酸沉淀蛋白得到玉竹多糖,建立小鼠的负重游泳和自由游泳模型,灌胃不同剂量的玉竹多糖溶液,测定小鼠负重游泳时间和30分钟自由游泳后乳酸脱氢酶(LDH),乳酸(LD),磷酸肌酸激酶(CK),血尿素氮(BUN),超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)和丙二醛(MDA)等生化指标。POP喂养小鼠游泳实验结果发现,POP能明显延长小鼠负重游泳时间,明显提高喂养小鼠血清血糖、肌糖原、SOD、CAT和GSH的含量,明显降低LDH,LD,CK,BUN以及MDA的含量。     

玉竹多糖对流感病毒裂解疫苗的黏膜佐剂效应

探讨玉竹多糖(Polygonatum odoratun polysaccharides,POP)对流感病毒裂解疫苗黏膜免疫的佐剂效果。以BALB/c小鼠为模型,将H7N9流感病毒裂解疫苗单独或者添加不同剂量的POP(400、600、800、1 000和1200μg)做佐剂一次性滴鼻免疫小鼠,免疫三周后小鼠以致死剂量同源病毒攻击。实验结果表明,当在疫苗中加入1 000μg POP时,与疫苗单独免疫相比,单次滴鼻免疫就明显增强了小鼠抵抗致死量病毒感染的能力,体重丢失减少,肺部残余病毒滴度下降,存活率提高;血清中疫苗特异性IgG抗体和HI抗体以及鼻洗液中SIgA抗体都提高了;IgG亚类抗体检测显示,POP的加入显著增加了IgG1的抗体滴度,但抑制了IgG2a的产生,说明诱导的免疫应答偏向于Th2型。实验表明POP在一定剂量时能增强疫苗诱导的免疫应答,显示出黏膜佐剂效应。

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.
