冰片"引经" 丹参对脑缺血/再灌注损伤的保护作用研究

目的:探讨丹参单用与丹参冰片合用对大鼠脑缺血/再灌注(Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion,CI/R)损伤的影响。方法:结扎颈总动脉缺血2 h再灌注48 h复制CI/R模型,将实验大鼠随机分为假手术组、模型组、丹参组以及丹参-冰片组,每组8只。采用2,3,5-氯化三苯基四氮唑蓝(TTC)染法测定脑梗死面积,苏木精-伊红(HE)染色法观察心肌病理学形态变化,并检测超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)水平以及细胞核Nrf2蛋白表达水平。结果:与模型组比较,丹参单用与丹参-冰片组神经功能学评分均明显降低,脑梗死面积缩小,脑组织的病理损伤改善,MDA的含量显著降低,SOD的含量以及细胞核Nrf2蛋白表达水平增加(P0.05),且丹参-冰片组效果优于丹参组(P0.05)。结论:丹参单用与丹参冰片合用均能发挥脑保护作用,且丹参冰片配伍发挥脑保护作用明显优于丹参单用,其机制可能与抗氧化作用相关。     

龙脑型阴香截顶采收技术研究

以2年生龙脑型阴香Cinnamomum burmannii chvar. Borneol幼林为研究对象,开展截顶采收技术试验,试验设置4个截顶高度,每个截顶高度内又采用3种下部枝条处理模式。通过对2个年度3次调查数据进行分析,结果表明树高、地径、冠幅和可蒸生物量4个性状不同区组间本底差异不大,处理后4个性状不同处理间差异显著加大,且均达极显著水平;多重比较也从本底的2个DUNNCAN分组提升至3～4个分组,且可以看出随着截干高度的提升,4个性状指标逐渐提升;在留枝方面,保留枝条越少,4个性状指标数值越小。因此,采收以120 cm高度截顶后保留下部枝条(H4-T1组合)为最佳处理。

目的:探究冰片提取物对沙眼衣原体感染后的He La细胞模型CT703和CT259表达的影响。方法:将成功建立的40例感染L2血清型沙眼衣原体的人宫颈癌上皮(He La)细胞模型随机分成A、B两组,分别添加冰片提取物和等剂量生理盐水。观察感染后He La细胞模型的包涵体数目及大小、RNA抽提结果完整性以及CT70与CT259的表达变化。结果:染色后的40例受沙眼衣原体感染的He La细胞模型体内均发现包涵体,在同一时间点B组细胞内包涵体比A组大,且数目比A组多(P0.05);两组提取的总RNA的OD值均在1.8~2.0之间,通过RNA凝胶电泳结果可清楚发现28S、18S及5S条带;同一时间点CT259和CT703扩增产物的平均灰度值比较,A组感染后He La细胞模型样本基因表达量低于B组,差异具有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:冰片提取物能够有效降低经沙眼衣原体感染的He La细胞模型中CT703与CT259基因表达量。     

Intraspecific variation in essential oil composition of Eremophila longifolia F. Muell. (Myoporaceae): Evidence for three chemotypes

Volatile oils of Eremophila longifolia F. Muell. (Myoporaceae) leaves were obtained by hydrodistillation and analysed using GC-MS. A total of 33 compounds were identified in the oils examined and a high degree of intraspecific variability in chemical composition between specimens occurring in separate geographic localities was found. Multivariate statistical analysis of chemical composition of volatile oils enabled classification of three chemotypes in this species.     

Essential Oil of Thymus munbyanus subsp. coloratus from Algeria: Chemotypification and in vitro Biological Activities

Thymus munbyanus subsp. coloratus (Lamiaceae) is a small shrub endemic to Algeria and Morocco where is found in lawns, rockeries and mountainous regions. From a phytochemical point of view this taxon has never been characterized. In this work we have analysed the chemical compositions of the essential oils obtained from inflorescences and vegetative parts by GC/MS. A new chemotype, i.e. borneol‐chemotype, was characterized for the first time in the species. Furthermore, we assessed the biological activities of essential oils, namely the antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxicity on tumor cells that were evaluated by the DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP, disc diffusion, and MTT methods, respectively. Biological assays highlighted a moderate inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans (inhibition zone diameter in the range 9 – 10 mm), and noteworthy cytotoxicity on A375 human melanoma cells (IC₅₀ of 46.95 μg/ml).     

Chemotaxis by Pseudomonas putida (ATCC 17453) towards camphor involves cytochrome P450cam (CYP101A1)

The camphor-degrading microorganism, Pseudomonas putida strain ATCC 17453, is an aerobic, gram-negative soil bacterium that uses camphor as its sole carbon and energy source. The genes responsible for the catabolic degradation of camphor are encoded on the extra-chromosomal CAM plasmid. A monooxygenase, cytochrome P450_cam, mediates hydroxylation of camphor to 5-exo-hydroxycamphor as the first and committed step in the camphor degradation pathway, requiring a dioxygen molecule (O₂) from air. Under low O₂ levels, P450_cam catalyzes the production of borneol via an unusual reduction reaction. We have previously shown that borneol downregulates the expression of P450_cam. To understand the function of P450_cam and the consequences of down-regulation by borneol under low O₂ conditions, we have studied chemotaxis of camphor induced and non-induced P. putida strain ATCC 17453. We have tested camphor, borneol, oxidized camphor metabolites and known bacterial attractants (d)-glucose, (d) - and (l)-glutamic acid for their elicitation chemotactic behavior. In addition, we have used 1-phenylimidazole, a P450_cam inhibitor, to investigate if P450_cam plays a role in the chemotactic ability of P. putida in the presence of camphor. We found that camphor, a chemoattractant, became toxic and chemorepellent when P450_cam was inhibited. We have also evaluated the effect of borneol on chemotaxis and found that the bacteria chemotaxed away from camphor in the presence of borneol. This is the first report of the chemotactic behaviour of P. putida ATCC 17453 and the essential role of P450_cam in this process.

Essential‐Oil Diversity of Salvia tomentosa Mill. in Greece

Salvia tomentosa essential oils from Greece were studied for the first time here. The oils from five populations growing in Mediterranean pine forests on the island of Thassos (northern Aegean Sea) and from 14 populations situated in deciduous forests in Thrace (northeastern Greek mainland) were investigated. Their essential‐oil contents ranged from 1.1 to 3.3% (v/w, based on the dry weight of the plant material). The populations from Thassos had high contents of α‐pinene (18.0±2.9%), 1,8‐cineole (14.7±3.0%), cis‐thujone (14.0±6.9%), and borneol (12.8±2.2%) and smaller amounts of camphene, camphor, and β‐pinene, whereas the populations from Thrace showed high α‐pinene (16.7±4.0%), β‐pinene (22.8±4.5%), camphor (18.3±4.3%), and camphene (10.3±2.4%) contents, much lower 1,8‐cineole and borneol amounts, while cis‐thujone was completely lacking. The comparison of the present results with published data showed that oils having cis‐thujone as one of the main compounds were reported for the first time here. Multivariate statistical analyses indicate that the observed essential‐oil variation was related to geographical and environmental factors.     

白芷冰片对皮下炎症模型的血流变及抗炎作用研究

摘要 目的：从血流变和抑制炎症因子角度探讨白芷冰片的抗皮肤炎症作用及机制。方法：将60只SD大鼠随机分为 6 组: 正常组、模型组、复方醋酸地塞米松乳膏组、白芷组、冰片组和白芷冰片合用组。除正常组外，其余各实验组均使用角叉菜胶注射足底建立足皮下炎症模型。建模成功1 h后每组按设计分别在致炎处涂抹各组药物，给药4h后使用激光多普勒血流成像系统检测各组大鼠足趾血流变化，并测量足趾肿胀度，建模4 h后取炎症组织，以Elisa法检测肿胀足组织中SOD、HIS、MDA、PGE2、PGD2、COX-2以及IL-6、IL-1β、IL-8、IL-10的水平。结果：与正常组比，炎症模型组的足趾肿胀率、血流变显著增加；各给药组与模型组比较足趾肿胀率明显降低，各给药组对血流变影响差异显著，其中白芷对末梢微循环的作用明显，而冰片对足趾枝干血流变影响更显著，合用后对总体血流变有改善作用；相关细胞因子结果显示，模型组除SOD外，其余HIS、MDA、PGE2、PGD2、COX-2、IL-6、IL-1β、IL-8、IL-10显著性升高，白芷、冰片及合用组与模型组比较，各项指标因子均有不同程度的改善，其中冰片对SOD和HIS作用较弱，白芷与合用组可明显降低PGD2、COX-2、IL-6、IL-1β、IL-8指标( P ＜ 0.05 )；白芷、冰片及合用组对IL-10无明显作用。结论：白芷联合冰片对角叉菜胶诱导的急性炎症有明显的抗炎治疗作用，可显著降低水肿反应，抑制微循环扩张引起的血流变增加，其机制可能与PGE2、COX-2以及多种白介素有关。
