Effects of berberine on IL-1 or tumour necrosis factor induced polymorphonuclear leucocyte－endothelium adhesion

AIM:To investigate the effect of berberine on IL-1 or tumour necrosis factor (TNF) induced polymorphonuclear leucocyte(PMN)-endothelium adhesion and adhesion molecules.METHODS:Based on the model of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC), this study adopted Rose Bengal Stain, cell ELISA, immunocyto-chemical techniques to investigate the effect of berberine on PMN-endothelium adhesion and the expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs).RESULTS:Berberine inhibited IL-1, TNF-induced HUVEC adhesion for PMN when pretreated HUVEC and antagonised IL-1, TNF-induced upregulation of ICAM-1 on HUVEC. Meanwhile, TNF-stimulated PMN adhesion for HUVEC and CD18 upexpression on PMN was diminished in the presence of berberine.CONCLUSION: Inhibite PMN-endothelium adhesion by downregulating the CAMs expression to inhibite PMN migration across endothelium is one of the mechanisms of antiinflammation of berberine.     

Study on the relationship between melatonin and hepatic encephalopathy

AIM:To explore the relationship between change of serum melatonin (MT) and pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). METHODS: Changes of MT level in sera of cirrhosic patients with HE and without HE were determined by ELISA, normal serum served as control. The change of serum MT level in exacerbation and remission in HE was also determined.RESULTS:MT level in patients with HE was higher than that withour HE (P＜0.01). MT levels of both groups were higher than that of normal group (P＜0.01). They were (308.53±59.07) ng/L, (139.85±34.59)ng/L,(77.73±28.41)ng/L, respectively. Serum MT level in exacerbation was higher than that in remission (P＜0.01), they were (301.52±66.42)ng/L and (147.81±23.31) ng/L, respectively. CONCLUSION: The elevation of MT content in sera may be closely related to the onset of hepatic coma.     

Rapamycin promotes repair of neurovascular units after ischemic stroke

Neurovascular unit （NVU） is composed of neurons, endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes, macrophages/microglia, smooth muscle cells, extracellular matrix, etc, and plays vital roles in maintenance of the normal brain tissue function and cellular homeostasis. Cerebral ischemia caused by stroke can harm various components of NVU. Repairing damaged NVU and maintaining its structural and functional integrity are an effective way to improve stroke treatment. Resent research has found that rapamycin not only enhances autophagy of neurons but also effectively repairs the injuried components of NVU , thereby reducing neural damage after stroke. In this paper, the mechanisms of rapamycin underlying the repair of injured NVU after ischemic stroke is reviewed to provide guidance for its application in the treatment of stroke.     

蜜蜂蜂群中未受精卵的辨认与监督

以中华蜜蜂和意大利蜜蜂为实验材料,研究了中华蜜蜂群间以及中华蜜蜂与意大利蜜蜂种间未受精卵的辨认与监督行为特性。结果表明:中华蜜蜂蜂群中工蜂对群间未受精卵的辨认与监督效果差异不显著,卵的剩余率都在93%以上;但在中华蜜蜂蜂群中,工蜂在2 h之内把意大利蜜蜂未受精卵全部清理,而保留了89%以上的中华蜜蜂未受精卵;在意大利蜜蜂蜂群中,工蜂会在4 h之内把中华蜜蜂未受精卵全部清理,但保留了94%的意大利蜜蜂未受精卵。     

中国古代私人藏书发展述略

我国藏书的历史源远流长,私人藏书的起源至少可追溯至春秋战国时期,古代私人藏书可以分为4个时期:兴起时期,发展时期,繁荣时期和鼎盛时期。私人藏书的发展繁荣除了社会的发展进步之外,人口的增加也是重要的原因。各个时期呈现出各自的发展特点,但是,总的发展呈现出藏书者的文化性、利用的专用性和分布的地域性特征。     

科技期刊页码编排问题分析

参照国家现行的《科学技术期刊编辑格式》（GB/T 3179）,对我国公开出版的科技期刊页码编排规范情况进行了调查。结果发现少数期刊页码编排存在跳码、重码、漏码、错码、单双页码位置颠倒、加码和暗码太多等问题。建议载文短的科技期刊篇首页尽量不要采用暗码编排,以利发挥页码的功能、方便读者查阅和复制。     

黄孢原毛平革菌过氧化物酶的分离、纯化和酶学特性研究

从木质素降解菌Phanerochaete chrysosporium中纯化出两种木质素降解酶：木质素过氧化物酶（LiP）和锰依赖过氧化物酶（MnP）。经测定LiP和MnP的分子量分别为37kD和40kD,最适作用温度均是37屯;保温2h,LiP的半失活温度为40℃,MnP为45℃;LiP最适作用pH2．8,稳定pH2．2—5．2;MnP最适作用pH4．6,稳定pH4．0—7．0。Fe^2＋LiP和MnP均表现出促进作用,Na^＋、K^＋、Ca^2＋、Mg^2＋、Zn^2＋、Fe^3＋、Ag^＋、CO^2＋、NH4^＋对LiP有促进作用,对MnP则表现出抑制作用。与此相反,Mn^2＋对MnP酶活的高效促进作用,对LiP表现出了轻度的抑制作用,这也体现出了MnP对Mn^2＋的依赖性。Cu^2＋对LiP活性无影响,而对MnP有强烈的抑制作用。Fe^3＋两者活性的抑制都达到了90％。

不同密度巨桉林草复合模式初期土壤特征研究

在株距为1.5 m,行距分别为3、4、5、6、8 m,相应初植密度为2222、1667、1333、1111、833株/hm25种不同密度的巨桉林中,设置3种巨桉林草复合种植模式:巨桉+鸭茅(简称模式Ⅰ)、巨桉+高羊茅(模式Ⅱ)、巨桉+牛鞭草(模式Ⅲ)。对该复合模式土壤特征进行了定位研究。初期结果显示:土壤物理性质(容重、非毛管孔隙度与总孔隙度)均有一定程度的改善;土壤有机质变化3种模式大体一致,表现为5月>11月>8月,水解氮动态变化则表现为8月>5月>11月,而有效P与速效K均表现为5月>8月>11月;方差分析表明,3种模式间土壤各速效养分变化差异均达到显著水平(P<0.05),但由于处于林草复合模式初期,不同密度间变化差异尚不太明显。综合土壤养分动态变化与已有相关研究结果,初步认为模式Ⅲ(巨桉+牛鞭草模式)为该地比较适宜的种植模式。
