Objective: To investigate anti-inflammatory and immunomodulation effects of different ecotype from Isatidis Radix growing in Gansu province.
Methods: Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups (=11)and used the auricular swelling and paw edema to observe the anti-inflammatory effects of Isatidis Radix; Mice were randomly divided into 7 groups (=11) and through the gasbag synovitis model to observe the anti-inflammatory effects of Isatidis Radix; Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups (=11), the immunosuppressed model were established by injection of cyclophosphamide (CTX) to study the effects of Isatidis Radix on index of thymus, blood routine and cytokines.
Results: Gansu different ecotype from Isatidis Radix could reduce the swelling of the mice auricle, paw edema and total protein, leukotriene B(LTB)and malonaldehyde(MDA) in airbag synovitis exudates, and upgrade serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD); Degrade the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and upgrade the index of thymus, the number of red and white corpuscles, the level of interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin-4 (IL-4) (<0.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of a new plant-based molluscicide, "Luo-wei" (Tea-seed distilled saponins), against the snail species Oncomelania hupensis in Hubei Province.
- The researchers conducted immersion and spraying experiments, comparing various concentrations of Luo-wei with established molluscicides, and found no significant differences in snail death rates among them after specific treatment periods.
- The results suggest that Luo-wei is as effective as traditional molluscicides, with recommended dosages being 2.5 g/m3 for immersion and 5 g/m2 for spraying in field applications.
