美洲大蠊对免疫性肝纤维化大鼠肝功能的影响

[目的]探讨美洲大蠊对免疫性肝纤维化大鼠肝功能的影响。[方法]采用腹腔注射猪血清法诱导大鼠免疫性肝纤维化模型,在造模的同时分别用不同剂量的受试药物(美洲大蠊总提取物和美蠊氨)干预,以秋水仙碱为阳性对照药,分别于试验第4周和第12周结束时取血检测血清中ALT(谷丙转氨酶)、AST(谷草转氨酶)和TBIL(总胆红素)的含量,并在第12周结束时处死大鼠,取肝脏称重并计算肝脏指数。[结果]试验4周后,美洲大蠊总提取物能明显降低大鼠血清中ALT、AST、TBIL的含量。试验12周后,美蠊氨能明显降低大鼠血清中ALT、AST、TBIL的含量,但此时美洲大蠊总提取物对3个指标的影响不大。[结论]美洲大蠊对免疫性肝纤维化具有一定的防治作用,能明显改善肝功能。     

Effects of nitric oxide on hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhotic rats induced by LPS

AIM: To investigate the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhotic rats induced by LPS. METHODS: The cirrhotic model of rats was established by complex pathogeny. Since the end of the 8 th week, the rats were intragastrically-infused with 0.9% salt, L-arginine(L-arg) and LNNA respectively for 2 weeks.The hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhotic rats were induced by 3 mg/kg LPS (ip) 4 hours before the rats were sacrificed. RESULTS: The normal behaviors and electroencephalograph were appeared in L-arg group. LNNA group showed hepatic encephalopathy. The content of NO₂^-/NO₃^- of brain tissue was markedly higher in L-arg group than LNNA group(P<0.05), but the content of histamine in brain tissue was lower in L-arg group than LNNA group(P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between the content of histamine in brain tissue and the content of NO₂^-/NO₃^- of brain tissue. CONCLUSION: NO can prevent hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhotic rats induced by LPS.     

中西药结合治疗雏鹅病毒性肝炎的试验研究

观察3种方法治疗雏鹅病毒性肝炎的疗效,选出较好的治疗方案,以提高雏鹅病毒性肝炎的治愈率。分别进行人工感染预防及治疗试验和临床治疗试验。在临床治疗试验中选自然发病的莱茵雏鹅共5466只,将患鹅随机分为4组,分别采用保肝散、病毒灵、保肝散加病毒灵治疗,并设空白对照组。结果表明,保肝散配合病毒灵组治疗效果最好,治愈率达96.05%;保肝散组次之,为77.97%;病毒灵组再次,为72.18%;对照组为14.72%。采用保肝散配合病毒灵组治疗雏鹅病毒性肝炎高于其他两种方法,为临床治疗该病提供了确实可行的治疗方法。     

饲料中添加发酵中药对文昌鸡肝毒性研究

中药渣经微生物发酵可减少抗营养因子,增强功效,试验旨在研究饲料添加发酵中药渣对文昌鸡肝脏毒性影响。试验选用体重、日龄相近文昌鸡(43日龄,母)192只,随机分为4组,每组8个重复,每个重复6只。发酵中药渣添加水平为0%、0.5%、1.0%、1.5%,试验为期4周。结果显示,与组1相比,2、3、4组血清中谷草转氨酶(AST)、总胆红素(TBIL)、葡萄糖(GLU)含量均显著降低(P<0.05)。与组1相比,2、3组肝脏组织AST含量显著升高(P<0.05);3组谷丙转氨酶(ALT)含量显著升高(P<0.05),4组ALT含量显著降低(P<0.05);2、3、4组碱性磷酸酶(AKP)含量显著升高(P<0.05);3、4组肝脏组织中GLU和总蛋白(TP)显著升高(P<0.05)。表明,饲料中添加发酵中药渣可减少文昌鸡肝细胞损伤,促进肝脏的合成代谢和贮备功能,其中以1.0%添加量最适。     

Effects of a hexane extract from Laurus novocanariensis leaves on the ethanol metabolism of Wistar rats

A hexane extract from the leaves of Laurus novocanariensis was investigated for its activity on ethanol metabolism in Wistar rats. The extract could interfere with blood ethanol elevation, the induction of gastric alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and the reduction of erythrocyte catalase (CAT). The sesquiterpene lactones dehydrocostus lactone and costunolide were identified in the active extract, and might represent its active constituents. These results support the use of L. novocanariensis in the traditional Madeira Island medicine to protect against ethanol injury.
