番茄总皂苷对小鼠高尿酸血症的调节作用北大核心CSCD

为研究番茄总皂苷对尿酸的调节作用,该文以番茄水提物为试材,利用次黄嘌呤和氧嗪酸钾以及尿酸和氧嗪酸钾建立高尿酸模型小鼠,考察番茄总皂苷对正常小鼠及高尿酸血症小鼠尿酸排泄量、血尿酸、尿素氮、肌酐、黄嘌呤氧化酶以及脏器指数的影响。结果表明:番茄总皂苷不影响正常小鼠血尿酸水平,正常组及番茄低、中、高剂量组血尿酸值分别为(170.4±36.7)、(178.3±69.7)、(175.5±42.1)、(185.3±72.6)μmol·L^(-1);番茄总皂苷对次黄嘌呤和氧嗪酸钾联合诱导的高尿酸血症小鼠可以降低血尿酸水平,降低黄嘌呤氧化酶活性,正常组、模型组及番茄高剂量组血尿酸值分别为(140.4±36.7)、(378.3±69.7)、(278.3±62.6)μmol·L^(-1),正常组、模型组及番茄低、中、高剂量组黄嘌呤氧化酶值分别为(1.2±0.3)、(1.8±0.2)、(1.6±0.2)、(1.5±0.3)、(1.3±0.4)U·g^(-1) liver;对尿酸和氧嗪酸钾联合诱导的高尿酸血症小鼠,可降低血尿酸水平,降低黄嘌呤氧化酶活性,正常组、模型组及番茄高剂量组血尿酸值分别为(98.8±21.8)、(455.6±78.8)、(333.7±68.7)μmol·L^(-1),正常组、模型组及番茄高剂量组黄嘌呤氧化酶值分别为(2.1±0.3)、(2.5±0.2)、(2.3±0.2)U·g^(-1) liver。综上结果表明,番茄总皂苷不影响正常小鼠血尿酸水平,但能降低高尿酸模型小鼠的血尿酸水平,其机制可能与降低黄嘌呤氧化酶活性有关。     

Improved production of ginseng polysaccharide by adding conditioned medium to Panax notoginseng cell cultures

By adding 50% (v/v) filtered culture broth to fresh MS medium, the specific growth rate of Panax notoginseng was increased from 0.046 d–1 to 0.068 d–1, and the polysaccharide production and productivity reached 1.21 g l–1 and 61 mg/(ld), respectively, which were 1.3- and 2.3-fold of the control. Further supplementation of the conditioned medium with sucrose, ammonium, nitrate and phosphate gave a cell density of 13.7 g l–1 and a specific growth rate of 0.086 d–1. Polysaccharide production was 1.65 g l–1 and the productivity was 78 mg/(ld).     

Regenerative ability of somatic single and multiple embryos from cotyledons of Korean ginseng on hormone-free medium

Cotyledon explants of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) produced somatic embryos directly on growth regulator-free medium. Somatic embryos developed as either multiple or single-state forms, depending on the degree of maturity of the cotyledons. Cotyledon explants from midmature zygotic embryos formed multiple embryos, while cotyledons from fully mature zygotic embryos formed single embryos. Somatic single embryos regenerated into normal plantlets with both roots and shoots, while multiple embryos did not produce roots but regenerated only into multiple shoots. In full-strength MS basal medium, the root growth of plantlets derived from single embryos was weak compared to that of shoots. Deletion of ammonium nitrate from the MS medium promoted the root growth of the plantlets. The ginseng plants with well-developed shoots and roots regenerated from single embryos were successfully acclimatized in a greenhouse when they were planted in soil.

Comparison between aseric and seric culture-derived exoantigens of Babesia divergens in their ability to induce immunoprotection in gerbils

Babesia divergens Rouen 1987 was cultivated with a high percentage of parasitized erythrocytes (30–40%) in either RPMI 1640 supplemented by 10% human serum or in a serum-free medium consisting of RPMI 1640 supplemented with 5 g/l Albumax I®. Analysis of serum and Albumax culture supernatants, using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, revealed the presence of at least 10 parasitic exoantigens of B. divergens with molecular weights ranging between 27 and 200 kDa. The gerbils were injected twice, at 3-week intervals, with Albumax culture supernatants or seric culture supernatants. The vaccine doses ranged from 3 μl to 1.5 ml. The highest immunofluorescent antibody titers in gerbils (in 42 days) were obtained using Albumax supernatant and Quil A saponin as adjuvant. Analysis of the gerbil humoral response by immunoprecipitation showed that only three exoantigens were immunodominant: 92 kDa, 50 kDa and 37 kDa proteins. The gerbils were challenged 3 weeks after the last vaccine injection and the maximum protection was observed with vaccine doses ranging from 30 μl to 1.5 ml of culture supernatant and Quil A adjuvant. Albumax medium-derived antigens potentiated better protection at lower dose rates than that of serous medium-derived antigens (for example the gerbil mortality was 0% when they are immunized with 30 μl of Albumax supernatant and 100% with 30 μl of seric supernatant).

重楼皂甙Ⅱ对狼疮性肾炎患者外周血CD4~＋CD25~＋T调节细胞表达的细胞因子的影响

目的：研究重楼皂甙Ⅱ对狼疮性肾炎患者外周血CD4＋CD25＋Treg分泌的细胞因子IL-10和TGF-β的影响。方法：10例健康人为正常对照组,20例LN病人随机分为四组：LN对照组（n=5）、重楼干预组1（n=5,接种细胞数为1×105/1.5ml/孔）、重楼干预组2（n=5,接种细胞数为2×105/1.5ml/孔）、重楼干预组3（n=5,接种细胞数为5×105/1.5ml/孔）。分离外周血单个核细胞,利用免疫磁珠法分离CD4＋CD25＋Treg。重楼干预组予重楼皂甙Ⅱ干预,正常对照组和LN对照组不予处理,各组培养72h。取各组上清,用ELISA分别检测IL-10和TGF-β的水平。结果：与正常组比较,其余各组TGF-β和IL-10的水平明显降低（P〈0.01）。与LN对照组比较,重楼皂甙Ⅱ干预后各组TGF-β和IL-10的水平升高（P〈0.05）。重楼干预组之间比较,重楼干预组2的TGF-β和IL-10水平较其他两组明显升高（P〈0.01）,而重楼干预组1和3的TGF-β和IL-10水平变化无显著性差异（P〉0.05）。结论：重楼皂甙Ⅱ可上调LN患者TGF-β和IL-10的水平,上调的幅度受接种细胞数量的影响。
