[ Method ] Forty rats were randomly divided into two gToups: control group (distilled water) and trial group (water extract of 0. Kansuens/s) to carry out the acute toxicity experiment. The trial group was supplied with the maximum dose (6.0 g/ml,0.8 ml/20 g) twice per day for continuous 7 d. [Result] The maximal tolerance dose of rats to water extract of O. Kansuens/s was more than 480 g/kg. Feeding rats with O. Kansuens/s would not lead to the death of rats within short time (7 d) and no obvious macroscopic pathological changes in the viscera of rats could be seen in naked eyes. [Condusion] The study provided theoretical basis for full use of O. Kansuens/s resources.展开更多

In the course of studying toxic reason of this legume, a toxic alkaloid was isolated from Oxytropis glabra D C. grown in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region. The LD+(50) of (—)-thermopsine(Ⅰ) was shown to be 89.98 mg/kg(in mice). This paper reports an approach to the structure elucidation of(-)-thermopsine by combining 2D NMR[;H-;H and;H-;C (one-bond and long-range) COSY] and other physicochemical methods.

Eighteen rabbits were randomly separated into control group, poisoning group and curing group, with six rabbits in each group. Rabbits in poisoning group and curing group were fed 10 g/(kg ~ d) powder of Oxytropis glabra DC every morning for 70 d till the rabbits in poisoning group began to die. From the 21't to 24'h d of O. glabra administration, each of the rabbits in curing group was injected with 1 mL of polyclonal anti- body against SW every day. Blood samples were collected before O. glabra challenge, and then once every 7 d for the serological and immunological evaluation of serum. The resuhs showed that the serum alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity and SW content in poisoning groups were significantly higher than those in control group on the 7th d (P 〈0.05 ) ; the serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in poisoning groups were significantly higher than those in control group on the 14th d (P 〈 0.05 ), while the serum ct - mannosidase (AMA) and rate of E-rosette formation in poisoning groups were signifi- cantly lower than those in control group ( P 〈 0.05 ) ; the serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine ( CRE ) and glucose ( GLU ) concentration in poisoning groups were significantly higher than those in control group on the 21't d (P 〈 0.05 ). By injecting serum against swainsonine, the serum AKP, LDH, AST, alanine transaminase (ALT) activity and contents of BUN, CRE, GLU, SW were reduced and serum AMA and rate of E-rosette formation were increased in curing group, by comparing with those in poisoning group. These results in this experiment indicated that polyclonal antibody against SW had good value of preventing from O. glabra DC.展开更多

The results showed that flavonoid from O. glabra had fairly strong anti-lipid peroxidation. The antioxidation effects on rapeseed oil successively were vitamin C 〉 sample 〉 vitamin E 〉 BHT 〉 CK; the effects on cottonseed oil successively were sample 〉 vitamin C 〉 BHT 〉 vitamin E 〉 CK; the effects on sunflower oil successively were sample 〉 vitamin C 〉 vitamin E 〉 BHT 〉 CK; the effects on lard successively were BHT 〉 vitamin C 〉 sample 〉 vitamin E 〉 CK. The samples had stronger clearance rate against DPPH, superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals than control; the reducing power of sample was weaker than Vitamin C and stronger than Vitamin E ; chelating power of sample was weaker than EDTA. Flavonoid from O. glabra had the value for further development and utilization as natural antioxidant.展开更多

Forty mice were randomly divided into four groups,namely control group,experimental group I,experimental group II and experimental group III. The mice in three experimental groups were fed with O. glabra at the doses of 1,5 and 10 g per kilogram weight,respectively. After challenge for 63 d,mice brains were collected to detect changes in distribution and expression of AMA in different brain regions. The results showed that O. glabra poisoning led to declined AMA mRNA expression in mice brain tissue,but the mice in experimental group I had no significant difference with those in control group( P > 0. 05). The AMA mRNA expression in cerebellum,cerebrum and thalamus of mice in experimental groups II and III were significantly lower than that in control group( P < 0. 05),but the AMA mRNA expression in hippocampus and brainstem in three experimental groups had no significant difference with that in control group( P > 0. 05). AMA had very weak expression in hippocampus and brainstem,but it had expressions in other regions,and the expression was positively correlated with the number of neurons and granulosa cells. The results showed that different doses of O. glabra reduced AMA mRNA expression in mice brain tissue,while cerebellum,cerebrum and thalamus were the main target function areas.展开更多

Totally 240 mice were randomly grouped,and orally administrated with different concentrations of SW,Ts and their mixture. Four mice were randomly selected from each group at the 7th,14th,21st and 35th days,and lymphocytes were separated from anti-coagulated blood collected from eyeball. After Con A stimulation,T lymphocyte proliferation was detected by MTT assay. The results showed that low dose of SW promoted proliferation of mouse T lymphocyte; medium and high dose of SW also promoted proliferation of mouse T lymphocyte within a short period,but would seriously suppress its proliferation after a long period. Low dose of Ts almost had no impact on proliferation of T lymphocyte,while high dose also suppressed its proliferation.A similar result with SW was observed on alkaloid mixture. This indicated that different doses of SW,Ts and their mixture affected proliferation of T lymphocyte in different degrees.展开更多

Although there were some slight differences in the chemicals of O. falcata and O. chiliophylla, the main components of both herbs were consistent generally. The results provided scientific basis, at least from the chemical point of view, for the reasonablity of two herbs being used as the same drug in Tibetan medicines and for the necessary of further investigation on their detailed chemical and pharmacological differences.展开更多

The results demonstrated that most of the Lathyrus rhizobia belonged to Rhizobium and most of the Oxytropis rhizobia belonged to Sinorhizobium. A novel group of Rhizobium sp. I and S. meliloti were identified as the main microsymbionts respectively associated with Lathyrus and Oxytropis species in the collection area, which were new associations between rhizobia and the mentioned hosts. This study also provides new evidence for biogeography of rhizobia.展开更多
