Objective: To investigate the effects of polygonum capitatum on IL-17 and IL-23 levels in rats with Helicobacter pylori( H. pylori)-induced gastritis. Methods: Rats were devided into three groups including blank group,model group and polygounum capitatum treating group. The rats in the latter two groups were treated with H. pylori standard bacteria to establish the model of H. pylori chronic gastritis. After the modeling,the medication group was given polygonum capitatum with the dose of1. 72 g extract/( kg·d) by gavage for 2 weeks. Then normally feeding 2 weeks later,after that,rats were sacrificed,the gastric mucosa and abdominal aortic blood were collected,pathological changes were examined by HE staining,the levels of serum IL-17 and IL-23 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relative transcript levels of IL-17 and IL-23 mRNA in gastric mucosa were determined by real time PCR. Rusult: Compared with model group,the gastritis in treatment group alleviated remarkably and the pathological scores decreased statistically. The level of serum IL-17 and relative expression of mucosa IL-17 mRNA reduced obviously after polygonum capitatum therapy as well. The level of serum IL-23 also significantly decreased in polygonum capitatum group. Conclusion: Polygonum capitatum could reduce H. pylori-induced gastritic mucosal injury,which may be related to inhibiting IL-17 and IL-23 secretion.
Objective To determine the effect of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cells induced by uric acid,and investigate the underlying mechanism.Methods Human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro and incubated with different concentrations of uric acid for 48 h.The effects of uric acid on the morphology of HK-2 cells were observed and recorded with the aid of inverted microscope.The protein levels of fibronectin,α-smooth muscle actin (o-SMA) and E-cadherin were detected by Western blotting,while the mRNA expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by real-time PCR.Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the changes of epithelial cell marker cytokeratin and mesenchymal cell marker vimentin.Results Compared with untreated HK-2 cells,treatment of 15 mg/dL uric acid for 48 h induced the HK-2 cells turned into long-spindled shape,with markedly increased intercellular space.The protein levels of mesenchymal marker fibronectin and o-SMA were significantly increased,while that of the epithelial cell marker E-cadherin was significantly decreased (P <0.05).High dose of uric acid enhanced the expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α (P < 0.05) and induced activation of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in HK-2 cells (P < 0.05).Targeted inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway significantly suppressed EMT induced by uric acid in HK-2 cells.Conclusion High uric acid induces EMT in renal tubular epithelial cells by activation of the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway,and the targeted intervention of NF-κB signaling pathway can significantly suppress uric acid induced renal interstitial fibrosis.

Objective:To survey on Toxoplasma gondii infection in depressed patients in Guizhou Province and identify the genotype of T. gondii. Methods:Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect the T. gondii-specific antibodies IgG, IgM and circulating antigens (CAg) of T. gondii in 141 patients and 150 healthy subjects. The specific repeated DNA fragment (529 bp) of T. gondii was amplified by PCR. The genotype of T. gondii was determined by multiplex multilocus nested polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (Mn-PCR-RFLP). Results:ELISA showed that the positive rate of anti-T. gondii antibody in depressed patients and healthy subjects was 21.3%(30/141) and 7.3%(11/150), respectively. The positive rate of IgG in depressed patients was 18.4% (26/141), significantly higher than that in healthy subjects (7.3%, 11/150)(P<0.05). The positive rate of IgM and CAg in depressed patients was both 1.4% (2/141), while these were not found in healthy subjects. PCR revealed one patient positive for T. gondii, whose genotype was further identified to be Toxo DB #9(Chinese 1 type) by Mn-PCR-RFLP. Conclusion:The positive rate of T. gondii is higher in depressed patients than in the healthy subjects in Guizhou Province. The genotype of T. gondii detected in one depressed patient is the Chinese 1 type.
Objective:To investigate the effect of Polygonum capitatum on gastric mucosal gastrin(Gas) and somatostatin(SS) expression of SD rats infected by H.pylori and to explore the mechanism of Polygonum capitatum against H.pylori infection gastritis.Methods:42 rats were divided into model group of 26 rats and blank control group of 16 rats.Establishment of H.pylori rat model of chronic gastritis was established in rats by intragastric administration of H.pylori standard strain.After successful modeling,rats were divided into model group and Polygonum capitatum group.Polygonum capitatum group was given 1.72 g extractum/kg dose of Polygonum capitatum by intragastric administration while model group and blank group were given equal volume of saline by intragastric administration.After 2weeks of treatment,the rats were killed,the gastric mucosa was taken and the histological changes of gastric mucosa were observed by HE staining.Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the changes of Gas positive cells and SS positive cells in gastric mucosa.The expression levels of mRNA Gas and mRNA SS in gastric mucosa were detected by in situ hybridization.Results:Compared with the model group,Polygonum capitatum can significantly alleviate the inflammation of the gastric mucosa of rats infected with H.pylori,and the pathological score decreased significantly(P<0.05).The number of Gas positive cells of gastric mucosa in Polygonum capitatum group significantly decreased and the expression level of Gas mRNA decreased significantly.The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the number of SS positive cells and mRNA SS expression level between the model group and Polygonum capitatum group(P>0.05).Conclusion:Polygonum capitatum can repair gastric mucosal damage in chronic gastritis infected with H.pylori,and its mechanism may be related to improving the stomach intestine hormone regulation.
Background Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular protozoan that infects almost all warm-blooded animals, including humans, domesticated and wild animals. Recent studies of Toxoplasma gondii isolates from animals in different regions of China have shown a limited genetic diversity with the dominance of the ToxoDB PCR-RFLP genotype #9 named as “Chinese 1”. However, there is not much published information regarding its prevalence in domestic animals from Guizhou province, a subtropical region in Southwest China. The objectives of this study were to determine seroprevalence and genetic diversity of T .gondii in pigs, dogs and cats in Guizhou province, Southwest China. Findings The anti- T. gondii IgG were detected in 70.0%(49/70) pigs, 20.56%(22/107) dogs and 63.16(12/19) cats. The anti- T. gondii IgM were found in 0.93%(1/107) dogs, 21.53%(4/19) cats, but not in pigs. In addition, the toxoplasma circulating antigen (CAG) were detected in 16.9%18/70)pigs, 13.1% (14/107) dogs and 10.5%(2/19) cats. The T. gondii DNA were detected in 31.5%(22/70) pigs, 3.7%(4/107) dogs and 52.63%(10/19) cats. Five T. gondii isolates were obtained(3 from pigs and 2 from cats). The genotype of these five isolates belonged to the predominant genotype “Chinese 1”. Conclusions The high prevalence of T. gondii infection in pigs,cats and dogs indicated that the T. gondii infection is common in Guizhou province. Additionally, the T. gondii genotype “Chinese 1” was dominant in Southwest China.
Blood samples were collected from patients with leukemia (n = 150) or lymphoma (n = 150) in the Cancer Hospital from March to September 2014. The specific antibodies (IgG, IgM) to, and circulating antigens (CAg) of Toxoplasma gondii were determined by ELISA. A 529 bp specific sequence was amplified by PCR from the genomic DNA of T. gondii. T. gondii-specific IgG positive rate in patients with leukemia and lymphoma were 16.0% (24/150) and 20.0% (30/150), respectively, which were significantly higher than that of healthy persons (6.4%, 7/110) (P < 0.05). IgM positive rate of the leukemia patients, lymphoma patients, and healthy persons was 2.7% (4/150), 1.3% (2/150), and 0.9% (1/110) (P > 0.05), respectively. No significant difference was found in IgM and CAg positive rate among leukemia patients, lymphoma patients, and healthy persons (P > 0.05). No specific band (529 bp) was detected in all samples.

Objective: To investigate whether the chromosomes of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(UC-MSCs) will change after being cultured in vitro for generations.Methods: Umbilical cords of cesarean delivery were collected aseptically.UC-MSCs were isolated by digestion with collagenase and trypsin or mechanical methods,and were cultured in vitro.The cells were characterized by morphology,immunophenotype and cell proliferation test,and karyotypes of generations of P0,P3,P4,P5,and P6 were analyzed with G-banding technique.Results: The karyotype analysis showed a normal diploid karyotype with 46 chromosomes and no abnormal change was found in chromosome structure.UC-MSCs exhibited fibroblastic morphology and CD73,CD90,and CD44 highly expressed in generations P3 ~ P6.Cells reached logarithmic growth phase in 2 ~ 3 days of culture.Conclusion: When cultured for 6 passages in vitro,UC-MSCs can maintain stable chromosome structure,which provides an experimental basis for the safety of UC-MSCs cytotherapy.
Background: Recent studies of Toxoplasma gondii isolates from animals in different regions of China have shown a limited genetic diversity and type China 1 was the dominant genotype of T. gondii prevalent in Chinese animals. However, little has been known concerning the isolation and genotyping of T. gondii circulating in chickens, pigs and rodents in China. The aim of the study was to characterize samples of T. gondii isolates obtained from naturally infected cats, pigs and free-range chickens slaughtered for human consumption in China.Methods: In the present study, brain tissues of 77 animals collected from different areas of China, including 24 free-range chickens (Gallus domesticus), 13 voles (Rattus flavipectus), 23 pigs and 17 cats, were bioassayed in mice and viable T. gondii were isolated from the brains of eleven. These eleven T. gondii isolates were maintained in Kunming (KM) outbred mice and DNA isolated from tissues of infected mice was characterized using 11 PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) markers: SAG1, SAG2, SAG3, BTUB, GRA6, c22-8, c29-2, L358, PK1, Apico, and CS3. Moreover, to determine mouse virulence of China 1 lineage of parasites, a TgCtgy5 genotype isolate was selected randomly and assessed in KM mice with different inoculation doses.Results: Results of genotyping revealed that ten isolates were type China 1 (ToxoDB PCR-RFLP genotype #9), and TgCksz1 was a new genotype that was reported for the first time designated here as ToxoDB PCR-RFLP #225. No clonal types I, II and III lineages were found. DNA sequencing of four introns (EF1, HP2, UPRT1 and UPRT7) and two genes (GRA6 and GRA7) from representative isolates confirmed the results of PCR-RFLP genotyping. The TgCtgy5 isolate was highly virulent in KM mice; all infected mice died of acute toxoplasmosis, irrespective of the inoculation dose. The results indicate that mouse virulent isolates of T. gondii are predominantly circulating in cats in China.Conclusions: T. gondii isolated from chickens, pigs, cats and rodents in different locations in China were genotyped and the results reconfirmed the limited diversity of T. gondii in China and showed that type China 1 lineage was dominant in this country.

[Objective]To study the pathological changes in Kunming mice and Babl/c mice infected with toxo-plasma gondii. [Methods] Kunming mice and Babl/c mice were infected with toxoplasma tachyzoite by intraperi-toneal injection. Then, the infection rate and pathological histology were observed in infected mice. The control mice only received an injection of same amount of saline. [Results]The two kind of mice were susceptible to toxoplasma gondii. The Kunming mice showed infection at 2nd-3rd day postinoculated, and died at 7th~10th day postinfection. The mortality was 95.00%. The hepatocyte denaturation and necrosis were observed. And a lot of toxoplasma tachy-zoites could be obtained from abdominal cavity. But in Babl/c mice, the onset of the sickness was at 4th ~ 5th day postinfection. Most mice could live through the acute stage of infection. The mortality was only 10.00%. The toxo-plasma antigen could be detected in mouse liver and brain, Although the cyst could not be found. All control mice were normal in the research time. [Conclusion] The susceptibility of toxoplasma infection in these two kinds of mice were different. The Babl/c mouse probably is a good model to research the toxoplasma infection and immunity.
