Objective Microbial isolation, culture, and identification in vitro and in vivo were carried out on Heliothis armigera of different seasons and different ages that were bred indoor in the institute to investigate the carriage of microorganisms. Methods Common culture medium and fungi culture medium were used for the in vivo and in vitro microbial isolation, culture and purification of heliothis armigera, respectively. The preliminary identification was performed through colony morphological observation, Gram's staining and microscopic observation. Then 16SrRNA and 18SrRNA analysis technology was applied for further identification of isolated bacteria and fungi. Meanwhile, PCR was used for amplification detection of highly pathogenic HaNPV for Heliothis armigera. Results Four strains of Bacillus were isolated, which belonged to Bacillus subtilis Cohn, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus, respectively. Four strains of fungi were isolated, including 2 strains of Yeasts, one strain of Aenicillium Link and one strain of Aspergillys Micheli. The result of HaNPV detection was negative.

Methods Mice were injected with alloxan to build hyperglycemia animal model and then randomly divided into three test groups (225, 450, 900mg/kg) and model control group. The mice were administered with the compound for 30 days, then the fasting blood-glucose and sugar tolerance between test groups and control group were compared. Normal mice were chosen to carry out the test of reducing fasting blood - glucose at the same time. Results The fasting blood - glucose was obvious lower than that of model control group (P<0.01), and the blood-glucose decline rate was greater than that of control group (P<0.01) in the hyperglycemia model mice of 900 and 450 mg/kg group. There were not significant difference between the sugar tolerance of test groups and model control group in hyperglycemia model mice and between the fasting blood - glucose of test group and model control group in normal mice. Conclusion Compound momordica charantia L. capsule had the function for reducing blood-glucose.

Objective To investigate the prevention and cure efficacy of XUEBIJING on multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in sheep. Methods Fourty sheep were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control (Group A), model (Group B), precaution (Group C) and cure group (Group D), 10 sheep each group . After anesthesia, the MODS model was established by infusing LPS at 6 μg/kg within 30 minutes intravenously. Then the sheep were infused with XUEBIJING (2 ml/kg) by intravenous drip before and 1 hour after injecting LPS in Group C and Group D respectively; animals in Group D received XUNBEJING (2 ml/kg) by intravenous drip once daily for 3 days. Meanwhile, the sheep were infused with isotonic Na chloride at the same dose in Group A. The indexes of blood gas, blood routine and blood biochemistry were determined at the different time points. Results After intravenous injecting with LPS, the physical sign was alleviative to some extent in Group C and Group D than that in Group B. The death rates of sheep were 0%, 60%, 40% and 50% in Group A , Group B, Group C and Group D respectively. Compared to the values of oxygenation indexes prior to injection with LPS, it decreased obviously (P<0.05 or P<0.01) within 3 hours in Group B, Group C and Group D, but there were not significant statistical differences observed between three groups (P>0.05). At the different time points, the level of aspartic transaminase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL) and creatinine (CRE) were obviously increased compared to that prior to injection (P<0.05 or P<0.01) . But the number of white blood cell (WBC) was obviously decreased at 3 h~6 h, then it began to increase at 12 h and increased significantly at 24 h (P< 0.01). Conclusion XUEBIJING could improve physical sign appearance, degrade the death rate of MODS induced by LPS and it had interventional effect on damage in multiple organ .

Methods Sixteen WHBE rabbit and Sixteen Japanese white rabbit were used and each group at different stage was 8. Levels of secretory IgA (SIgA), Substance P (SP), IL-4, IFN-γ, somatostatin (SS) and Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) in serum and small bowel were determined by ELISA. Results The levels of sIgA, SS、SP and the ratio of IFN-γ/IL-4 in serum and small bowel of grown WHBE rabbit were much lower than those of weanling WHBE rabbit. In particular, the levels of sIgA, SS, IFN-γ and IL-4 in small bowel of grown WHBE rabbit lower than those of grown JW rabbit. Conclusions Immunological function of WHBE Rabbit was much weaker than that of Japanese Rabbit. It may warrant further evaluation as a possible animal for the research of irritable bowel syndrome.

Objective To summarize various animal models of hyperlipidemia applying in hypolipidemic experiments in our laboratory. Methods The animal models varied in some respects: the animals explored (mouse, SD rat and quail), the prescriptions of gastric perfusion intralipid and high fat diet, the experimental periods. Result According to the serum biochemical detection, the hyperlipidemia models of rat and mouse were more suitable for screening the drugs of derucing high cholesterol high low-density lipoprotein. Quail model formed faster and more obvious, which was more suitable for lipid-lowering drug preliminary screening, but the individual variation was very significant. Each model has its own advantages and disadvantages. Conclusion The models with different animals, prescriptions and experimental periods have their own characteristics, which would be chosen according to the experimental purposes.

Objective To establish a comprehensive system for mouse strain conservation through natural mating, sperm cryopreservation and assisted reproductive technology. Methods Mouse fresh epididymal sperm were collected by vasectomy of unilateral testis and the vasectomized mice were naturally mated for breeding. If no satisfactory results obtained from natural breeding, then the cryopreserved sperm were thawed for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). If no results obtained, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) was used to reconstructed embryos and which were finally transferred into pseudopregnant recipient female mouse. Results The results show that parts of mice vasectomized unilateral testis such as BDF1 and C57BL/6J mice could be used for natural breeding. Among the remaining sterile males, only ICR mice could be preserved through IVF while ICSI technology was the last approach to save GFP mice with C57BL/6J background. Conclusion The genetic background of mouse sperm cryopreservation was a key factor in IVF and setup a comprehensive system, which could achieve the purpose of strain conservation while mouse strains could be utilized at maximum extent.

Methods Iliac bone specimens were obtained from the newborn rat calvaria, after that the bone pieces were digested by collagenase-trypsin. The proliferation of osteoblast was observed using MTT reduction assay. The IL-6 in the supernatant was detected by ELISA. Results The proliferation of osteoblast could be stimulated by the serum with different dosages of absorbed YIGUTANG (group A 、B 、C). Meanwhile, the levels of IL-6 secretion in group A, B and C could be significantly decreased compared with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The proliferation of osteoblast can be stimulated by the serum with absorbed YIGUTANG and the capability of producing IL-6 in osteoblast also can be restrained by the serum.

The article summarized the replication methods and evaluation indicators of irritable bowel syndrome animal models. Combined with peripheral sensitization, relatively mild stress stimulus method was a relatively better choice which was to enhance the success rate of molding and consider animal welfare. Defecation frequency and character was the most intuitive and economic indicator in evaluation, but its specificity was poor. Intestinal sensitivity was the most specific indicator which depended on the detection of stress and correlated with clinical research.

Coronary artery disease(CAD) is one of the cardiovascular disease that harmful to human health in the world nowadays. The pathogenesis of CAD is very complicated and until now it has not been completely clarified, the concept that CAD is a chronic inflammatory disease of the coronary artery, is now well accepted. Leukotrienes(LTs) are important inflammatory mediators, which play a strong role in promoting inflammatory reaction. 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) is the key enzyme in the forming process of leukotrienes(LTs), while the 5-lipoxygenase activating protein(FLAP) is necessary if the 5-LO needs to be activated. Recent studies have found that 5-LO/FLAP play important roles in the formation and development of CAD. In this review, mainly focused on the relationship between 5-LO/FLAP and CAD.
