Methods： One hundred and five patients with leukopenia caused by various factors were randomized into 3 groups. The 60 patients in the YBK group took orally YBK Tablets at the dose of 40 mg, three times per day, the 30 patients in the leucogen group were treated with Leucogen Tablets （利血生片） at the dose of 20 mg, three times per day, and the 15 patients in the placebo group were administered with vitamin C tablets 100 mg, three times per day. All the subjects were treated for 1 month. The change of peripheral leucocytes count after treatment and adverse drug reaction that occurred in patients were studied. Results： In the 60 patients treated with YBK, the treatment proved to be markedly effective in 34 cases, effective in 17 and ineffective in 9, the total effective rate being 85%, which was significantly higher than that in the placebo group （26.7%, P〈0.01） and similar to that in the leucogen group （83.3 %, P〉0.05）. No adverse reaction was found in the treatment course. Conclusion： YBK can be used in the treatment of leukopenia caused by various factors, satisfactory in efficacy and safe in use.展开更多

Methods: 16HBE cells treated with chlorophyllin and anti-BPDE were conducted as tester, 16HBE cells treated only with anti-BPDE were conducted as driver, and cDNA representational difference analysis (cDNA RDA) was used to compare the differential gene expression between the two kinds of cells. The cDNA fragments were ligated to pGEM-T vector and transformed into JM109 bacteria. The plasmid DNA was sequenced and compared with database in GenBank by BLASTN. Results: Among the 5 cloned cDNA sequences, three were novel and were registered in dbEST database, two showed sequence homology to alpha-enolase and a newly found gene ribosomal protein S18/S6-like. Conclusion: These 5 cDNA sequences might play important roles in antitransforming effect of chlorophyllin.展开更多

[Methods]The absorption spectrum and fluorescence spectrum of sodium chlorophyllin were measured by an ultraviolet spectrophotometer and a fluorescence spectrophotometer;the plate count method was used to investigate the photodynamic sterilization efficiency of sodium chlorophyllin on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus;and the MTT method was used to determine the photodynamic antitumor effect of sodium chlorophyllin on rat glioma cell C6. [Results] The sterilization rates of sodium chlorophyllin with the 100 J/cm^2 photodynamic treatment were 98.96% 1.284 and 100% 0 on S. aureus and E. coli, respectively. The half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50) of the sodium chlorophyllin photodynamic therapy with 5, 10 and 20 J/cm^2 on C6 were 69.9, 48.21 and 47.56 μg/ml respectively, and the dark toxicity was extremely low at 0 J/cm^2. [Conclusions]The photodynamic treatment mediated by the alcohol-extracted sodium chlorophyllin from Spirulina showed excellent inhibitory effects on bacteria and tumor cells. This study initially reveals its excellent photodynamic performance and provides a reference for its in-depth application in the field of photodynamic therapy.展开更多

Meth...Objective： To investigate the effects of sodium copper chlorophyllin （SCC） on the proliferation, differentiation and immunomodulatory function of mesenchymal stem cells （MSCs） from mice with aplastic anemia. Methods： A mouse model of aplastic anemia was established by exposure of BALB/c mice to sublethal doses of 5.0 Gy Co60 γ radiation, followed by transplantation of 2 × 108 lymph node cells from DBA/2 donor mice within 4 h after radiation. Aplastic anemic BALB/c mice were randomly divided into six groups： the treated groups, which received 25, 50, or 100 mg/kg/day SCC, respectively; a positive control group treated with cyclosporine A （CsA）; and an untreated model control group （model group）; while, the non-irradiated mice as the normal control group. SCC or CsA were administered by gastrogavage for 20 days, starting on day 4 after irradiation. Peripheral blood cells were counted and colony-forming fibroblasts （CFU-F） in the bone marrow were assayed. The ability of MSCs to form calcium nodes after culture in osteoinductive medium was also observed. The immunosuppressive effect of MSCs on T lymphocytes was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometry, to evaluate the efficacy of SCC in mice with aplastic anemia. Results： Peripheral blood white cell and platelet counts were increased by medium and high SCC doses, compared with the untreated control. CFU-Fs were also increased compared with the untreated control, and the numbers of calcium nodes in MSCs in osteoinductive medium were elevated in response to SCC treatment. The percentage of Forkhead box protein 3 （FOXP3^＋） T cells was increased in T celI-MSC cocultures, and the cytokine transforming growth factor 131 was up-regulated in SCC-treated groups. Conclusion： The results of this study suggest that SCC not only promotes the proliferation and differentiation of MSCs, but also improves their immunoregulatory capacity in mice with apiastic anemia.展开更多
