Methods Total flavonoids of COM (COMF) were separated and purified by the optimal process, SHR were divid- ed into 6 groups as SHR control group (SHR), captopril group (CAP, 25mg· kg^-1 · d^-1), Eucommia ulmoides Oliver group (EUO, 30 mg · kg^-1· d^-1), low (COMF-L, 40 mg · kg^-1· d^-1), middle (COMF-M, 80 mg · kg^-1 · d^-1) and high dose (COMF-H, 160 mg · kg^-1· d ^-1) of COMF groups. 8 Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats were given distilled water instead as control. The drugs were given by intragastric administration for 16 weeks, then the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and CRP in serum were tested. Results Compared with WKY group, the levels of IL-I~, IL-6, TNF-α and CRP were increased and IL-10 was decreased; Compared with SHR group, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and CRP were decreased in COMF groups (P 〈0.01 or P 〈0.05) , while IL-10 was increased a little but without any significant difference (P 〈 0.05 ). Conclusion Total flavonoids of Cydonia ob- longa Mill. showed the anti-hypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats and the mechanism was related to the function of anti-inflammatory.展开更多

Methods Total flavonoids of COM (COMF) were sepa- rated and purified by the optimal process. SHtl were divided into 6 groups: SHR control group (SHR) , captopril group (SHR + CAP, 25 μg · g^-1), Eucommia ulmoides Oliver group (SHR + EUO, 30 μg · g^-1), low (SHR + COMF-L, 40 μg · g^-1) ,middle (SHR + COMF-M, 80 μg· g^-1) and high dose (SHR + COMF-H, 160 μg · g^-1) of COMF groups. Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats (n= 8 ) were given distilled water as control The drugs were given by intragastric administration for 16 weeks. The histological and pathological examination of the heart were performed and organic damage were valued. The levels of Ang II and ALD in blood and heart were evaluated. The mRNA and protein expression of ACE, ACE2 and AT~ was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot to evaluate the effect of COMF on RAAS. Results Compared with SHR control group, HW, HW/BW, LVM and LVM/BW de- creased in SHR + COMF-M and SHR + COMF-H groups; Cadiomyocyte hypertrophy was inhibited in COMF groups; The concentration of Ang 11 and ALD in heart and blood decreased; ACE and AT1 mRNA and protein ex- pression in heart tissue decreased while ACE2 mRNA expression increased (P 〈 0.01 or P 〈 0.05) , Conclusion Total flavonoids of Cydonia oblonga Mill. showed the effect of inhibition of myocardial hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats and the mechanism was related to. inhibit the activity of Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.展开更多

(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to six densities of Aphis craccivora Koch (Homoptera: Aphididae) nymphs on broad bean (Viciafaba Linn.) was investigated in the laboratory. A linear relationship between the rate of consumption and prey density was observed with r^2 values between 0.58 and 0.97. Plotting prey density against prey killed by four larval instars, and adult males and females of C. vicina nilotica fit well with the type Ⅱ model of Holling' s disc equation. Adult females consumed the highest number of prey, followed by fourth instars and adult males. Based on the functional response data, the model predicts a maximum of 144.9, 116.3, 86.2, 80.0, 72.5 and 20.0 nymphs to be consumed per day by an individual adult female, fourth instar, adult male, third, second and first instars, respectively. The differences in the responses of the predator to aphid densities are discussed.展开更多
