The molecular mechanism of inhibition of murine Lewis lung carcinoma metastasis by weimaining in vivo

AIM: To investigate the anti-metastasis effect of weimaining, extracted from fragopyrum cymosum meissn, a Chinese medicine, on murine Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL). METHODS: The anti-metastasis effect of weimaining in vivo was detected in the grafting lung metastasis model of murine Lewis lung carcinoma. The effects of the drug on the expression of CD34 and E-cadherin were investigated by immunohistochemical staining and RT-PCR. RESULTS: Weimaining effectively inhibited the lung metastasis of 3LL at a concentration of 250 mg·kg^-1·d^-1, significantly suppressed the expression of CD34 and increased the expression levels of E-cadherin protein and mRNA in 3LL cells. CONCLUSIONS: Weimaining inhibits the metastasis of murine Lewis lung carcinoma (3LL) in vivo via increasing the expression of E-cadherin and decreasing microvessel density of tumor tissue.     

Radioligand binding assay of insulin receptor in rabbit kidney during ischemic and reperfusion

AIM: To observe the change of insulin receptor in rabbit kidney with acute ischemic-reperfusion injury. METHODS: 15 Japanese white rabbits were allocated randomly into control group, ischemic-reperfusion group(IR group). IR group received clamping for 1 h followed by 2 h or 48 h of reperfusion. At 2 h or 48 h after reperfusion, glucose and insulin in serum were determined. Insulin receptor in renal tissue was analyzed by radioligand binging assay(BAD). RESULTS: The level of serum glucose increased after 2 h reperfusion in 2 groups, but in IR group the value increased much more higher than those in control groups(P＜0.05). Plasma insulin of IR group was significantly higher than that in control after 2 h reperfusion(P＜0.05). Scatchard analysis of data resulted in curvilinear profiles, indicating that there are two classes of receptors with different affinity or the presence of a single class of receptors with a negative cooperative hormone-receptor interaction. Data analyzed for a two-site model showed that the values of Bmax₁(high affinity site), Bmax₂(low affinity site) and Kd₁, Kd₂ were significantly lower than that of control (P＜0.05) after 2 h perfusion. 48 h after IR there was no difference of Bmax₁, Bmax₂, and Kd₁ between 2 groups,but Kd₂ of IR group was higher than that of control (P＜0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that the effect of intrinsic insulin decreases in the progress of the renal ischemic-reperfusion. The resulting high serum glucose may aggravate renal injury in the progress of ischemic-reperfusion.

苜蓿秋眠性研究进展

苜蓿Medicago sativa的秋眠性实质上是在秋季日照变短和温度降低时植株所表现出的一种适应性生长特性,这种生长特性与植物的抗寒性和生产性能相关.早在20世纪20年代,美国就发现了这一现象,但直至20世纪70年代末期,随着秋眠性测定方法的发明和分类标准的制订,才使它在苜蓿生产中发挥着越来越重要的作用,在许多国家秋眠性已成为栽培选择品种时的首要指标.概述了秋眠性的概念及发展史、测定方法、有关生理生化研究进展及其在国内外的应用.

日粮中添加杜仲提取物对肉仔鸡生产性能的影响

选用825只艾维茵肉仔鸡,随机分为5组,每组5个重复,每个重复33只鸡。对照组饲喂基础日粮,试验组在基础日粮中分别添加1500,2000,2500g/t的杜仲提取物或50mg/kg的效美素,比较杜仲提取物对肉仔鸡生产性能及胴体品质的影响。试验分2个阶段(0～21d和21～42d),试验鸡自由采食和饮水。研究结果表明,1)日粮中添加杜仲提取物能降低采食量,提高肉仔鸡成活率,其中以添加1500g/t杜仲提取物效果较好。2)杜仲提取物能促进肌肉组织蛋白质的合成,降低体内脂肪的沉积,在一定程度上改善肉仔鸡胴体品质。
