ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the productive effects of baicalin on the male rats with ischemic brain injury and its effects on serum progesterone level in rats; To explore the possible mechanism of baicalin in brain protection. Methods Adult SD male rats were used to create a permanent left middle cerebral artery occlusion model. The rats were evenly divided into model group, baicalin group, inhibitor group, and sham-operation group (without inserted into the intraluminal thread) according to the neurological function scores. At different time points after modeling, the neurological function scores and the grip strength of double foreleg were measured, and the reduction rate of grip strength was calculated. Serum progesterone and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with the sham-operation group, the neurological function of rats in the model group was impaired, the grip strength of double foreleg was significantly reduced. 7 days after treatment, compared with the model group, the neurological function score of baicalin group was lowered, grip strength of double foreleg was recovered, reduction rate of grip strength was reduced (P<0.05); compared with the baicalin group, protective effects of baicalin on neurological function was lowered in inhibitor group (P<0.05). 7 days after treatment, compared with the model group, the serum progesterone level in baicalin group was significantly higher (P<0.01), and ACTH level showed an increasing trend; compared with the baicalin group, serum progesterone and ACTH levels in the inhibitor group decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion The protective effects of baicalin on the male rats with ischemic brain injury may be related to the regulation of progesterone.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of baicalin on serum progesterone and related hormones in female normal and cerebral ischemia rats; To explore whether baicalin plays a role in cerebral protection of neurological functions by regulating progesterone levels.Methods With vaginal smear method, the adult estrus female SD rats were selected and divided into normal group, baicalin normal group, and molding groups. The left side of the middle cerebral artery of rats in the molding groups was blocked to establish the permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO). After modeling, the rats were randomly divided into model group, baicalin treatment group, progesterone treatment group and progesterone inhibitor group. The baicalin normal group and baicalin treatment group were given intraperitoneal injection of baicalin solution; the normal group and model group were given normal saline of the same quantity; progesterone treatment group was given intramuscular injection of progesterone; progesterone inhibitor group was given intraperitoneal injection of baicalin solution and intragastric administration of mifepristone solution.The neurological function deficit scores were evaluated and rat forelimb holding power was detected by Grip Strength Meter respectively at different time points. Serum was taken from the rats and the progesterone and related hormones levels in the serum of every group were measured by ELISA. Results Compared with normal group, neurological functions of rats in molding groups were damaged, and neural functional behavior scores of different time points were the most strongly increased (P0.05) and more significant improvement of the forelimb holding power (P0.05).Conclusion After applying mifepristone to block progesterone, baicalin neurologic protection is significantly inhibited. The results demonstrated that baicalin may play a role in cerebral protection via up-regulating serum progesterone level.

ABSTRACT
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (A. pleuropneumoniae), the causative agent of porcine contagious pleuropneumonia (PCP), is a significant pathogen of the world pig industry, vaccination is potentially an effective tool for the prevention of PCP. The purpose of present study was to enhance the immunogenicity of A. pleuropneumoniae live vaccine strain HB04C- (serovar 7), which was unable to express ApxIA, and to develop effective multivalent vaccines for the respiratory pathogens based on the attenuated A. pleuropneumoniae. We introduced a shuttle vector containing intact apxIA gene into HB04C-, generating HB04C2, an A. pleuropneumoniae serovar 7 live attenuated vaccine strain co-expressing ApxIA. Then we investigated the biological characteristics of HB04C2. We found that the shuttle vector expressing ApxIA was stable in HB04C2, and the growth ability of HB04C2 was not affected by the shuttle vector. We observed that HB04C2 elicited detectable antibodies against ApxIA and ApxIIA when it was administrated intratracheally as a live vaccine in pigs, and all immunized pigs were protected from heterologous virulent A. pleuropneumoniae (serovar 1) challenge. In conclusion, we demonstrated that A. pleuropneumoniae live vaccine could be used as a vector for expression of heterologous antigens.

BACKGROUND: Different derivatives of chitosan with different molecular weights or degrees of deacetylation show different anti-tumor effects.OBJECTIVE: To study the inhibition effect of water-soluble chitosan and its derivatives, such as sulfonated chitosan, carboxymethyl chitosan and chitooligosaccharides for the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC7721.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Controlled experiments based on observation were carried out in Jiangxi Institute of Digestive Disease (Nanchang, Jiangxi, China) from January 2004 to December 2006.MATERIALS: Hepatoma cell line SMMC7721 was provided by Jiangxi Institute of Digestive Disease (China). 85.5% deacetylated chitooligosaccharides and 85% deacetylated water-soluble chitosan were produced by Jinan Haidebei Ocean Biological Engineering Co., Ltd (China); Carboxymethyl chitosan and 88.5% deacetylated chitosan were the products of Shanghai Qisheng Biological Products Co., Ltd (China).METHODS: Sulfonated chitosan was prepared using 88.5% deacetylated chitosan and chlorosulfonic acid-formamide, and then was detected with infrared spectroscopy in the Detection Analysis and Test Center, East China University of Science and Technology. SMMC7721 cells in the log phase were inoculated into 96-well culture plates, which were then added with water-soluble chitosan, sulfonated chitosan, carboxymethyl chitosan and chitooligosaccharides with the final concentrations of 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800mg/L. This test was repeated for 3 times, while the control group was also set each time. After 72 hours of routine culture, MTT solution was added into each well and inoculated for another 4 hours. After the culture was terminated, dimethyl sulfoxid was added. The absorbance value of each well was measured at 490nm wavelength on a microplate reader. Three tests were measured to obtain the mean value. Also the inhibition rate was calculated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Growth inhibition effect of chitosan and its derivatives on the hepatoma cell line SMMC7721.RESULTS: Among the chitosan and its derivates at four kinds of concentrations, water-soluble chitosan and sulfonated chitosan could significantly inhibit the growth of SMMC7721 cells (P<0.001), and the effect was the most significant in the case of sulfonated chitosan. Treatment with water-soluble chitosan and sulfonated chitosan at the concentration of 50mg/L could inhibit the growth of SMMC7721 cells in a dose-dependent manner, and reached a peak at the concentration of 400mg/L and 800mg/L, respectively. Carboxymethyl chitosan and chitooligosaccharides showed no growth inhibition effect (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Water-soluble chitosan and sulfonated chitosan have significant antigrowth effects on hepatoma carcinoma cells, while carboxymethyl chitosan and chitooligosaccharides are ineffective.
