简介:目的通过观察左归丸含药血清对成骨细胞白细胞介素-1(IL-1)、白细胞介素.6(IL-6)和环加氧酶-2(COX-2)表达的影响,探讨其治疗骨质疏松症的作用机制。方法体外分离、培养成骨细胞,实验分为3组:正常血清组、卵巢切除(OVX)血清组和OVX含药血清组。采用免疫组化法,检测成骨细胞IL-1、IL-6和COX-2的表达。结果OVX血清组成骨细胞IL-1、IL-6和COX-2的表达明显强于正常血清组,而OVX含药血清组的表达较OVX血清组明显减弱,与正常血清组比较,则无显著性差异。结论在去势状态下,左归丸可能是通过抑制成骨细胞IL-1、IL-6和前列腺素E2(PGE2)的分泌,进而达到治疗骨质疏松的作用。

简介:用原子力显微镜(AFM)观察线性DNA并探讨其成像条件。用RT-PCR技术扩增柯萨奇B1病毒VP1基因DNA片段,纯化回收后配制成含和不含1mmol/LMgCl2的水溶液,DNA终浓度为100μg/ml。分别取20μl滴加在新鲜解理的云母片上,吸收1min,用滤纸吸去残液,氮气吹干,在室温下采用MultiModeAFMNanoscopeⅢa的敲击模式成像。同时比较新制备和多次使用过的探析所获得图像的质量,对两种探针进行扫描电镜观察。电泳证明获得了0.83kb的VP1基因DNA线性片段,Mg^2+存在时,DNA在云母片上吸附延展较好,所获图像质量优于无Mg^2+时。新制备的探针较多次使用过的探针所获图像分辨率更高。DNA分子的表现宽度为18±2.9nm,高度为0.8±0.2nm。说明AFM能以高分辨率直接观察DNA分子,Mg^2+的存在和高质量的探针有助于获得理想的图象。
