Then, the effects of sugar source （30 g/L sucrose, fructose, white sugar, maltose and glucose） and light intensity （0, 800, 1 600, 2 400 and 3 200 lx） on the proliferation coefficient of D. nipponica axillary buds were evaluated.[Results] Using stem segments with leaf axils as the explants, the highest induction rate （90.8%） of axillary buds was achieved in MS supplemented with 2.5 mg/L 6-BA and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D, and the fresh and dry weights of tissue culture seedlings in this medium were also the highest, up to 1.5 g and 160.9 mg, respectively. Then, the highest proliferation coefficient of was D. nipponica axillary buds noted when sucrose was used as the sugar source in medium, and the optimal light intensity for the proliferation of D. nipponica axillary buds was 2 400 lx.[Conclusions] The results provide an experimental evidence for rapid propagation of D. nipponica .展开更多

Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into 6 groups: normal, model, indomethacin and three total saponin(900, 300 and 100 mg/kg) groups. The liver, kidney and serum levels of lysosomal enzymes, antioxidant capacities, and inflammatory factors were measured. In addition, the m RNA and protein levels of the NALP3 inflammasome components in the mononuclear cells of rats’ peripheral blood were analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting methods, respectively. Results: Total saponins groups could reduce the activities of β-galactosidase,β-N acetyl glucosamine enzyme,β-glucuronidase, acid phosphatase, and malonaldehyde as wel as the contents of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-8(all P<0.05). They could also increase the activities of glutathione peroxidase and total superoxide dismutase(both P<0.05). Further studies showed that total saponins groups of high, middle and low doses could all increase the m RNA and protein levels of caspase-1, adapter apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase-recruitment domain(ASC) and NALP3 in the mononuclear cells of peripheral blood(all P<0.05). Conclusion: Dioscorea nipponica may treat GA by regulating lysosomal enzymes, antioxidant capacities and the NALP3 inflammasome.展开更多
