The in vitro effect of a fish oil-derived lipid emulsion (omega-3) on the superoxide anion production during the respiratory burst (RB) of human neutrophils was compared to a LCT lipid (Intralipid), and an LCT/MCT emulsion (Lipofundin MCT). The effects of two concentrations (60 and 600 micrograms/mL) were evaluated by rhodamine in a flow cytometer. The RB was induced either by stimulation with Escherichia coli (E. coli) or by priming with TNF-alpha and FMLP stimulation. The results (mean +/- SD%, P < 0.05) were compared to positive control responses (RB without lipids). omega-3 (60 micrograms/mL, -8.2 [9.3]%; 600 micrograms/mL, -9.6 [11.1]%) and LCT (600 micrograms/mL, -8.0 [9.3]%) significantly suppressed the RB after stimulation with E. coli. LCT/MCT increased the RB after E. coli (60 micrograms/mL, 15.7 [15.4]%; 600 micrograms/mL, 42.7 [21.4]%) as well as after TNF-alpha/FMLP stimulation (600 micrograms/mL, 27.4 [23.7]%). The in vitro influence of parenteral lipid emulsions on the superoxide anion production of human neutrophils is dependent on the length of the fatty acid molecule.

Objective: To inquire into the mechanism of prothrombotic state (PTS) and the roles of liver therein by constructing a reverse-subtracted cDNA library for differentially expressed genes in rat liver of PTS.
Methods: The reverse-subtracted cDNA library for differentially expressed genes in rat liver of PTS was constructed by suppression subtractive hybridization. The rat model of PTS was induced by a high-carbohydrate diet.

A simple, accurate and rapid spectrophotmeric method was proposed for the determination of chondroitin sulfate. The method was based on the absorbances of AA-CS complex at 625 nm being in proportion to the chondroitin sulfate concentrations. The linear range was 0-30 micrograms.

Aim: To study the effect of Angelica sinsensis polysaccharides on lymphocyte proliferation and induction of IFN-gamma.
Methods: Angelica sinensis polysaccharides(AP) were separated into AP-I, AP-II, AP-III and AP-IV by alcohol deposition with different concentration. The radioactivities of [3H]-TdR uptake by lymphocyte were used to determine the ability of lymphocyte.
