Toxicological evaluation of Yulangsan polysaccharide in Wistar rats: A 26-week oral gavage study

Although numerous studies have proven the medicinal values of Yulangsan polysaccharide (YLSP), the toxicity of this active ingredient is unknown. In the acute toxicity study, a single oral administration of 24 g/kg YLSP caused neither toxicological symptoms nor mortality, and the LD₅₀ was estimated >24 g/kg. In the chronic toxicity study, we administered doses of 0, 0.6, 1.2 and 2.4 g/kg YLSP in rats by oral gavage for 26 weeks followed by a 3-week recovery period. There was no mortality or remarkable clinical signs observed during this 26-week study. Additionally, there were no toxic differences in the following parameters: body weight, food consumption, hematology, clinical biochemistry, organ weight, and macroscopic findings. There were no adverse effects on histopathology observed in males or female rats treated with YLSP. Based on the results, the no-observed-adverse-effect-level of YLSP in rats is greater than 2.4 g/kg when administered orally for 26 consecutive weeks.     

山药粗多糖的提取工艺

对鲜山药中水溶性粗多糖的提取工艺进行了研究,通过单因素试验和L9（34）正交试验,研究了料液比、提取温度、时间和乙醇体积分数对粗多糖得率的影响,极差分析及方差分析结果表明提取温度和料液比是影响山药粗多糖提取的主要因素,较优的工艺为料液比1 g：9 mL,温度50 ℃,时间2.5 h,乙醇体积分数75%,在此工艺条件下,鲜山药粗多糖得率为0.2449%（以鲜山药质量计）.

灵芪菌质发酵工艺初报

目的:探讨灵芪菌质发酵的工艺,验证药用真菌新型固体发酵的优越性.方法:将灵芝分别在普通基质、药性基质(含黄芪)、富硒药性基质中发酵,对三种基质中菌质的有效部位多糖的含量进行测定及动态研究,比较其变化.结果:三种基质中菌质有效部位多糖含量及其相对标准差分别为4.65%、1.61%,3.76%、1.99%,4.50%、1.86%;对灵芝和黄芪发酵组合的有效成分多糖、蛋白质及总皂苷进行动态变化研究,发现第28天是发生次生代谢最旺盛的时候,确定为发酵终点.结论:灵芝和黄芪发酵组合是可行的.     

Relationship between renal capsular artery feeding and size of VX-2 carcinoma implant in the rabbit kidney

When regional intraarterial infusion is applied in the treatment of malignant tumors it is essential to reach the tumor via all its major feeder vessels. In this study VX-2 carcinoma was implanted into the lower pole of the left kidney in 24 rabbits to investigate whether the renal capsular artery takes part in tumor feeding. The rabbits were divided into four groups that were followed for 8, 10, 12 or 14 days after tumor implantation. At that time the renal artery was ligated close to the kidney and subsequently silicone rubber or barium sulfate/gelatin suspension was injected into the capsular artery. The tissue was cleared, and the tumor carefully removed and examined microscopically for traces of silicone rubber. When barium sulfate had been injected, the kidney was examined radiographically in order to detect possible presence of contrast medium in the tumor. This study revealed no vascular supply to the implanted VX-2 carcinoma from the capsular artery when the tumor was confined intracapsularly, i.e., up to 12 days after tumor implantation in untreated rabbits.This investigation was performed at the Oncological Research Laboratory, Department of Diagnostic Radiology, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway     

颅脑损伤患者伤后细胞免疫功能变化及黄芪的免疫调节作用

目的：研究颅脑损伤患者伤后细胞免疫功能的变化规律及黄芪对细胞免疫功能的调节作用。方法：73例中、重型颅脑损伤患者随机分为常规治疗组35例和黄芪治疗组38例。对照组10例。采用放射免疫法．双抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附法及碱性磷酸酶法于不同时间检测各组患者细胞免疫学指标，1个月后进行疗效评价，并进行统计学处理。结果：颅脑损伤患者伤后1d IL-2、CD4、CD4／CD8显著下降，SIL-2R及CD8显著升高(P＜0．01)。伤后第30天常规组与黄芪组比较IL-2，SIL-2R，CD8、CD4／CD8有显著性差异，CD4无显著性差异。伤后1月两组患者感染发生率、GCS评分、日常生活能力比较有显著性差异(P＜0．01)。结论：中、重型颅脑损伤息者伤后存在显著的细胞免疫功能抑制，黄芪可以改善患者细胞免疫功能状态，提高机体抗感染能力．改善预后。     

方格星虫多糖分离纯化及性质鉴定

以方格星虫（Sipunculus nudus）体壁和血液为试验材料，经胰蛋白酶水解，Sevage法去除蛋白质，乙醇沉淀得到粗多糖，透析并冷冻干燥后分别得到方格星虫体壁多糖（SWP）和血液多糖（SBP）。经凝胶渗透色谱分析，SWP和SBP均为单一组分，相对分子质量分别为284528和198212。红外光谱分析表明，两种多耱结构相似，不含硫酸基团，均含有葡萄耱、半乳糖、木糖和阿拉伯糖。SBP含有乙酰氨基，而SWP不含乙酰氨基，它们是以α-糖苷键或β-糖苷键连接的呋喃多糖。
