全口义齿固位及稳定影响因素探讨

目的探讨提高全口义齿固位及稳定的方法。方法通过对患者在试戴及应用全口义齿出现的固位稳定不良现象进行检查分析,寻找出相应的改进方法。结果全口义齿固位不良主要原因是未建立平衡,其次是制作误差及口腔解剖条件差。结论提高全口义齿固位稳定性的有效方法是确保全口义齿良好的咬合关系,提高操作精确度,以弥补口腔条件差的缺陷。

血脂异常中医证候及与代谢综合征相关性的研究

通过对600例血脂异常患者中医证侯的研究,总结了血脂异常中医证候分布的规律,确认血脂异常患者的病机是以本虚为主,脾虚和肾虚是血脂异常发病的主要病理基础,痰浊和瘀血也是影响血脂异常中医证候的重要因素,建议在治疗时应以补脾益肾为主要治疗原则。并首次在血脂异常的辨证中提出了＂无证候可辨＂的概念。通过对血脂异常中医证候与代谢综合征（MS）相关性的研究发现血脂异常中医证候的产生与MS及其组分中的超重或肥胖及高血压密切相关,提出MS及其各组分的存在是引起血脂异常中医虚证的重要因素,阐明了应用辨证论治的方法在治疗血脂异常的同时可以改善MS,还可以提高患者的生活质量,因而优于单纯的降脂治疗。     

羌活化学成分研究Ⅲ羌活石油醚提取部分化学成分的分离鉴定

经硅胶柱层析,制备薄板层析分离,化学分析和光谱鉴定,从羌活的石油醚提取部分分离并鉴定了β-谷甾醇、油酸、亚油酸、哥伦比亚甙元、娠烯醇酮和阿魏酸6种化学成分。娠烯醇酮为首次从本属植物中分离鉴定。     

痹颗粒对RA-MsPGN大鼠肾组织PTK活性的影响

目的探讨痹颗粒对RA-MsPGN大鼠模型肾组织PTK活性的影响,治疗RA-MsPGN的作用机制。方法按照Phospho Safe TM ExtR Action Reagent试剂盒提取蛋白质,按照K-LISA PTK Screening Kit试剂盒测定蛋白酪氨酸激酶(PTK)活性,并根据检测试剂盒提供的标准品直线回归方程计算PTKs的含量。结果RA-MsPGN模型大鼠与正常组相比肾组织PTK含量显著升高(P<0.001),雷公藤多苷片和痹颗粒各剂量组均能显著降低大鼠肾组织PTK含量(P<0.05或0.01)。结论痹颗粒对RA-MsPGN大鼠肾组织PTK活性有明显抑制作用,其治疗作用有可能是通过对PTK的作用而实现的。     

Inhibitory effect of Ginkgo biloba extract on hyperhomocysteinemia-induced intimal thickening in rabbit abdominal aorta after balloon injury

Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) has been widely used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders. Hyperhomocysteinemia (Hhcy) is associated with the risk of atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. The objective of this study was to investigate whether GBE could attenuate the Hhcy-induced intimal thickening after balloon injury in rabbit abdominal aorta. It was observed in this study that GBE could decrease the neointima area (NA) and the ratio of the neointima area to the media area (NA/MA), down-regulate the mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and up-regulate the protein expression of p21 (WAF1/CIP1) (p21). It suggests that GBE can reverse the Hhcy-induced neointima formation in rabbits following balloon injury, and the suppressive effect of GBE on the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) may contribute to its actions.     

Giganteaside D induces ROS-mediated apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells through the MAPK pathway

Purpose

Every year, almost one million individuals are diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide and more than 690,000 patients die of it. At present, most therapeutic anti-HCC agents are not effective, which is due to the appearance of chemo-resistance and/or toxic side effects. Therefore, it is imperative to find novel more effective anti-HCC agents. Here, we evaluated the effect of giganteaside D (GD), an oleanolic acid saponin from P. scabiosaefolia, on the growth and apoptosis of HCC cells.

Methods and results

Using MTT and clonogenic assays, we found that GD exhibited a significant growth inhibitory effect on the HCC-derived cell lines HepG2 and Bel-7402. In addition, we found that GD induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis in these HCC-derived cells, as indicated by a decreased mitochondrial potential, activation of Caspase-9 and Caspase-3, cleavage of PARP and release of Cytochrome C from the mitochondria. Besides, we found that GD stimulated the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and that blockage of ROS attenuated the GD-induced mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Additionally, we found that GD treatment led to a decrease in phosphorylated Erk (p-Erk) and triggered the generation of p-JNK, both components of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. Inhibition of Erk or JNK by specific inhibitors or siRNAs augmented or attenuated the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of GD.

Conclusions

From our results we conclude that GD can induce ROS-mediated apoptosis in HCC-derived cells through the MAPK pathway. This observation may open up avenues to explore the future use of GD as a HCC chemotherapeutic agent.
