[Study on safflower yellow for injection based on cell degranulation and acute anaphylactoid model].

This paper was aimed to establish screening methods of anaphylactoid reaction caused by safflower yellow for injection based on RBL-2 H3 cell degranulation model and mice model for acute anaphylactoid reaction,and evaluate the hypersensitivity caused by safflower yellow for injection from different batches. An in vitro cell model was used to keep the cells stimulated for an hour with different batches of safflower yellow for injection as the drug group,serum-free MEM medium as negative control group and 30 mg·L-1 C48/80 as positive control group respectively. The supernatant was then absorbed,and neutral red staining technique was used to detect the effect of safflower yellow injection on the degranulation of RBL-2 H3 cells with the positive cell rate of degranulation as the indicator.

Protective cerebrovascular effects of hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) on ischemic stroke.

The purpose of the present work was designed to explore protective cerebrovascular effects of hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA), and provide preclinical efficacy and mechanism data for its possible application in patients with cerebral ischemia. The protective effect of HSYA on ischemic stroke was evaluated by infarct sizes and neurological scores in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Cerebrovascular permeability was detected by Evans blue dye leakage in MCAO rats.

[Effects of different treatment methods of housefly pupae for the reproduction of Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae Rondani].

It is an important way to massively rear parasitoid wasps by using appropriate methods to treat the wasps' hosts and preserve them for a long duration. Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae Rondani is a pupal parasitoid of several dipteral pests, being of significance for the biological control of the pests. In this paper, housefly pupae were frozen at -20 degrees C, cold storage-preserved at 6 degrees C, and CO2-asphyxiated for 1-, 3-, and 30 days, respectively, and some pupae were heat-killed and cold storage-preserved for 30 days, aimed to approach the effects of these treatment methods on the reproduction of P.

Defects in NKG2D ligand expression result in failed tolerance induction at the maternal-fetal interface: a possible cause for recurrent miscarriage.

Certain maternal immune responses against the fetus at the maternal-fetal interface may contribute to recurrent miscarriage (RM). Trophoblast cells involve in forming of maternal-fetal interface and interact with many immune cells, including NK cells. NK cells accumulate at the maternal-fetal interface and play a critical role during pregnancy.
