New anti-inflammatory 4-hydroxyisoflavans from Solanum lyratum.

Three new 4-hydroxyisoflavans, named lyratin A (1), lyratin B (2) and lyratin C (3), along with a known compound, 4,7,2'trihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavan (4), were isolated from the whole plant of Solanum lyratum. Their structures were established by means of detailed physical data analyses. In vitro, four compounds showed anti-inflammatory activities with inhibitory ratios of release of beta-glucuronidase from polymorphonuclear leukocytes of rats in the range of 30.

[Effect on mouse S180 MDR tumour cell expression correlated factorial matter by 70% ethanol with Huanglian Jiedu Tang].

Objective: To observe the effect on P170, LRP, TOPO II of S180 tumour MDR mice for matter by 70% ethanol with Huanglian Jiedu Tang, and then discuss the molecular biology base for clinic.

Method: 18-22 gramme mice were divided into four groups for normal S180 tumour cell group, matter by 70% ethanol with Huanglian Jiede Tang 100 mg x kg(-1) and 50 mg x kg(-1) in random. Each mouse was given S180 cell 0.

[Study of matrine's use on the reversion of obtained multi-drug resistance of mice S80 tumour cell].

Objective: To Observe the effect caused by matrine's used on the reversion of obtained multi-drug resistance of mice S180's tumour cell induced by chemotherapy of Cisplatin + 5-FU + Cytoxan (PFC) and discuss its molecular mechanism.

Methods: Patterned the methods of PFC chemotherapy in clinic, the mice were given Cisplatim 3 mg/kg x ip once a week and Cytoxan, CTX and 5-FU 3 mg/kg x ip once everyday for 4 weeks to set up the mice models of multi-drug resistance of S180 tumor cell. At the same time, gave the mice models matrine 4 weeks, and observed the P170, LRP, TOPO II by flow cytometry.

[The interference in correlated molecular mechanism obtained multi-drug resistance of mouse S180's tumour cell for different alkaloid].

Objective: To observe the base of the interference in correlated biotic active matter obtained multi-drug resistance induced by chemotherapy for different alkaloid, and to supervise the use in clinic to restrain the multi-drug resistant of chemotherapy, and thereby to improve the curative effect.

Method: After bestowing subter-dosage unite chemotherapeutant to ascites S180 mouse to set up the mouse models of multi-drug resistance of S180 tumour cell, and giving the mouse matrine, terandrine, oxymatrine and berberine hydrooh loride for 4 weeks, the P170, LRP, TOPOII, Fas and apoposis were determined by flow cytometry.

Result: Matrine and terandrine could obviously reduce the express of P170, LRP and the activation of TOPOII, and increase the ratio of the express of Fas and the apoposis of drug resistant tumour cell.

[The effect of tetrandrine on the expression of the P170, LRP and TOPO II in S180's tumor cell induced by chemotherapy in the mice with acquired multi-drug resistance].

Objective: To observe the effect of tetrandrine on the P170 production expressed by multi-drug resistance gene, lung resistant protein (LRP), and topoisomeras II and elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism.

Method: Cellular model of multi-drug resistance was established in S180 tumor cell by means of the scheme of PFC chemotherapy at the dosage lower than that with curative effect. P170, LRP and TOPO II were measured by flow cytometry after the mouse model was treated with tetrandrine for 4 weeks.

[The study of tetrandrine on reversion of P170 and apoptosis of obtained multi-drug resistance of mice S180's tumour cell].

Objective: To observe the effect of tetrandrine on reversion of mice S180's obtained multi-drug resistance tumor cell induced by chemotherapy by PFC. And then discuss the molecular mechanism of it for the use of TCM in clinic to restrain the drug-resistant of chemotherapy, thereby improve the curative effect.

Method: By the methods of less dosage of chemotherapy PFC, give the mouse cisplatin 3 mg x kg(-1) i.

[Speciation and distribution characters of rare earth elements in the Baotou Section of the Yellow River].

As a whole of water column, suspended matter and surface sediment in the mainstream and the branch taking up industry wastewater, speciation and distribution characters of rare earth elements (REEs) were investigated systemically in the Baotou section of the Yellow River. This study shows that rare earth elements in the mainstream of the Baotou section of the Yellow River mainly exist in suspended particles, and the dissolved contents are in extremely minute quantities. REEs mainly exist in dissolved particles in the branch taking up industry wastewater, and suspended sigma REE and dissolved sigma REE are obviously higher than those in the mainstream.
