Both the level of released nitric oxide(NO) and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) m RNA were significantly enhanced in the RAW264.7 macrophages cells treated by Vp2a-Ⅱ and Vp3. Vp2a-Ⅱ(100–800 μg/m L) and Vp3(400 μg/mL) could significantly increase the phagocytic activity of RAW264.7 cells and the secretion and m RNA expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in a concentrationdependent manner through affecting mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) activity and nuclear factor κB(NF-κB) nuclear translocation. Vp2a-Ⅱ might activate the MAPK signaling pathways and induce the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65, whilst Vp3 likely activated the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways without influencing the p38 MAPK route.展开更多

[Method] The asepsis seedlings were obtained by dealing with Apocynum seeds. Its cotyledons, hypocotyls and shoot tips were cultured on the media containing different concentrations of hormones. Finally, the influence of different hormone combinations on differentiation of cotyledons and hypocotyls, rapid multiplication of shoot tips, rapid multiplication of regenerated shoots, and rooting of test-tube plantlets was com- pared. [Result] MS+2.0 mg/L BA+0.03 mg/L NAA and MS+0.07 mg/L NAA were the optimum medium for inducing regenerated buds from cotyledons and hypocotyls re- spectively; MS+2.0 mg/L BA+0.02 mg/L NAA was the best medium for rapid multi- plication of shoot tips; MS+1.9 mg/L BA+I.7 mg/L NAA was the best medium for rapid multiplication of regenerated buds: and 1/2MS+0.6 mg/L NAA was the best medium for inducing roots. [Conclusion] The optimum hormone combination was de- termined for Apocynum rapid multiplication by tissue culture, which provides technical support on Apocynum industrialized cultivation.展开更多

Apocynum was treated with redox system in the degumming pretreatment process and the pretreatment parameters had been optimized, besides the effects of pretreatment on property index of degnmmed apocynum fiber were investigated. The results showed that the redox system degumming process reduced alkali boiling time and had good advantages over the traditional degumming process in extraction rate, single fiber length and strength. SEM was used to test the longitudinal morphology changes of fibers before and after pretreatment. At the same time, pretreatment solution was analyzed by UV spectra and electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer (ESR), and its pH value was also tested. The results showed that the pretreatment solution could release acid constantly to keep the stability of the pH which caused the swelling and dissolution of pectic substances in apocynum bast. Meanwhile, pretrcatment solution could activate the free radicals from apocynam bast and reduce the activation energy of non- cellulosic composition in apocynum bast.展开更多
