Verbascoside isolated from Tectona grandis mediates gastric protection in rats via inhibiting proton pump activity

Evidences have suggested that Tectona grandis (TG) attenuates gastric mucosal injury; however its mechanism has not yet been established. The aim of present study was to evaluate the gastroprotective mechanism of ethanolic extract of TG (E-EtOH), butanolic fraction (Fr-Bu) and to identify its active constituents. Anti-ulcer activities were evaluated against cold restraint (CRU) and pyloric ligation (PL) induced gastric ulcer models and further confirmed through H⁺ K⁺-ATPase inhibitory activity. Cytoprotective activity was evaluated in alcohol (AL) induced gastric ulcer model and further through PGE₂ level. E-EtOH and Fr-Bu attenuated ulcer formation in CRU. Moreover E-EtOH and Fr-Bu displayed potent anti-secretory activity as evident through reduced free acidity and pepsin activity in PL, confirmed further by in vitro inhibition of H⁺ K⁺-ATPase activity. In addition cytoprotective potential of E-EtOH and Fr-Bu were apparent with protection in AL model, increased PGE₂ content and enhanced mucin level in PL. Phytochemical investigations of Fr-Bu yielded terpenoides and a phenolic glycoside, verbascoside. The anti-secretory mechanism of verbascoside mediated apparently through inhibition of H⁺ K⁺-ATPase with corresponding decrease in plasma gastrin level, is novel to our finding. Gastroprotection elicited by TG might be through proton pump inhibition and consequent augmentation of the defensive mechanism.

采用盆栽试验, 研究了贵州强酸性(pH 4.3)黄壤施用磷石膏对高粱生长、养分平衡、细胞膜保护酶活性的影响.结果表明, 在强酸性土壤上种植耐铝能力弱的高粱, 铝毒害明显, 即使施用足量的氮磷钾肥, 作物也生长不良.施用磷石膏和石灰后高粱出苗和生长正常, 各生物学性状均极显著优于对照, 施磷石膏高粱长势优于施石灰处理;高粱干物质量与磷石膏(X1)、石灰(X2)的施用量呈二次曲线变化(回归方程分别为: Yw=6.88+11.92X1-1.65X12, R=0.983**;Yw=6.88+6.39X2-0.72X22, R=0.996**);磷石膏降低酸性黄壤铝毒、提高植物钙含量的效果略逊于石灰, 在提高植物营养3要素(特别是磷、钾元素)的作用方面优于石灰, 施磷石膏植株磷含量是石灰处理的1.17～2.43倍;施高量磷石膏的高粱植株氮/磷、氮/钾、钾/磷比值分别为6.8～7.1、1.2～1.3和5.4～5.6, 比值适中、变幅小, 氮/铝、磷/铝、钾/铝、钙/铝比值提高, 改善和调节了高粱体内氮、磷、钾、钙养分的平衡.高粱叶片细胞膜保护酶(SOD、CAT和POD)活性分析表明, 施磷石膏、石灰后SOD和CAT活性增加, POD活性和脯氨酸含量下降, 施磷石膏效果优于石灰.     

低温胁迫下北海道黄杨叶肉细胞Ca2+和Ca2+-ATPase的变化

 利用焦锑酸钙沉淀和硝酸铅沉淀的电镜细胞化学方法,以室温生长的北海道黄杨植株为对照,研究了人工4 ℃低温胁迫过程中北海道黄杨（Euonymus japonicus‘Cuzhi’）叶肉细胞Ca²⁺和Ca²⁺-ATPase的动态变化。在4 ℃低温胁迫的初期（3 ~ 12 h）,北海道黄杨叶肉细胞间隙和液泡内的Ca²⁺沉淀颗粒减少,而细胞质和细胞核内的Ca²⁺水平升高,但Ca²⁺-ATPase在细胞的分布几乎没有变化,主要分布在质膜和液泡膜上,有较高的活性;低温胁迫24 h,细胞质和细胞核内增加的Ca²⁺开始回到细胞间隙和液泡中,Ca²⁺-ATPase在质膜和液泡膜上活性增强;在低温胁迫48 ~ 96 h,细胞内的Ca²⁺又回到低温胁迫前的低水平,但Ca²⁺-ATPase在质膜和液泡膜上仍有很高的活性。叶肉细胞内Ca²⁺稳态平衡和Ca²⁺-ATPase的活性变化与植物的抗寒性存在一定的相关性。

Modulation of peripheral markers of the serotoninergic system in healthy horses

To evaluate the changes in plasma and platelet serotonin (5-HT) as markers of the serotoninergic system in equines, 5-HT content was measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in deproteinized plasma obtained from peripheral blood samples of 12 clinically healthy horses, before and after feeding. 5-HT was measured in platelet rich plasma (PRP) and in platelet poor plasma (PPP). 5-HT in platelets (p5-HT) was obtained by subtracting free 5-HT in PPP (f5-HT) from 5-HT in PRP. After food ingestion, significant increases in p5-HT and f5-HT (p < 0.001), and no changes in the f5-HT/p5-HT ratio were recorded. Increase in the total circulating 5-HT might account both for initiating peristaltic activity and for increasing the f5-HT levels. Augmented 5-HT uptake by platelets could reflect the hypothetical increased activity of the serotoninergic neurons. Besides showing the feasibility to obtain f5-HT and p5-HT through HPLC determination of 5-HT in PRP and PPP equine plasma, these findings are consistent with the postulation that 5-HT is released from enterochromaffin cells following a mechanical and chemical stimulation.

Energy dispersive X‐ray fluorescence for rapid potassium,calcium, and chloride diagnosis in barley

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Doriru) leaf samples were collected from a field comprising three plots, plot F chemical fertilizer treated, plot S receiving sewage sludge and sawdust mixed compost, and plot H receiving sewage sludge and rice husk mixed compost. Relative concentrations of selected elements, potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and chloride (Cl) of young, mature, and old barley leaves were determined by microscopic energy dispersing X‐ray fluorescence (EDXRF). The objective of this investigation was to verify the applicability of EDXRF for rapid nutrient element diagnosis of plants. Typically whole leaves were washed in deionized‐distilled water and dried by ironing for analysis. Intact dried barley leaf sample irradiation was accomplished with X‐rays obtained from an X‐ray tube focused on an area <100 μm of the respective sample specimen surface. The EDXRF provided sufficient sensitivity for relative concentrations of K, Ca, and Cl. Element content data of all the elements investigated, specifically K, resulted in adequate plant nutrient element values to diagnose K insufficiency in barley leaves taken from plants in the sewage sludge receiving plots. Potassium was more densely accumulated in the new leaf than in mature and old leaves in case of plants from the S and H plots. In contrast, such K accumulation was more dense in old and mature leaves than young leaves in case of plants from the F plot. However, Cl and Ca coupling in barley leaves from all of the F, S, and H plots had shown the similar pattern of distribution and followed the order: old > mature > young. Therefore, EDXRF can be an easy, rapid, and practical method for diagnosing the elemental content of plant tissues and thereby help to aid plant growth and development through timely supplements of the required element(s).
