威灵仙不同提取部位对脂多糖诱导的RAW264.7细胞NO生成及iNOS和TNF-α表达的影响

研究了威灵仙不同提取部位对脂多糖(LPS)诱导的RAW264.7细胞NO生成及iNOS和TNF-α分泌的作用.通过ELISA方法检测25、50、100μg/mL的威灵仙不同提取部位对LPS(1μg/mL)诱导RAW264.7细胞产生NO、iNOS和TNF-α的影响;实时定量PCR方法检测威灵仙不同提取部位对LPS诱导iNOS和TNF-α基因表达的影响.结果表明,LPS能够明显诱导RAW264.7细胞产生NO、iNOS和TNF-α,威灵仙不同提取部位(25、50、100μg/mL)均能抑制其活性和基因表达,并呈现明显的剂量依赖性,其作用强弱依次为威灵仙乙酸乙酯部位、石油醚部位、正丁醇部位和水部位.因此得出,威灵仙不同提取部位的抗炎作用效果不同;抑制炎症因子的分泌和释放可能是威灵仙发挥抗炎作用机制之一.     

Finding of high-pressure mafic granulites in the Amdo basement,central Tibet

High-pressure mafic granulites with a peak mineral assemblage of garnet + clinopyroxene + rutile + quartz were found in the Amdo basement, central Tibet. Two kinds of symplectites were identified that are composed of orthopyroxene + plagioclase ± spinel and hornblende + plagioclase around garnet, which were interpreted to develop during the retrogressing stages in the granulites. P-T estimates suggested that peak metamorphic conditions were about 860–920°C and 1.46–1.56 GPa, which retrogressed from post-peak phase at 820–890°C and 0.88–1.15 GPa to amphibolite facies at 550–670°C and 0.52–0.65 GPa. These three stages define a clockwise P-T path with near-isothermal decompression and cooling following the peak high-pressure metamorphism. This suggests that the Amdo granulites underwent an initial subduction to a deep crustal level of ~50 km and then were rapidly exhumed to a shallow crustal level (~20 km). The formation of Amdo granulites is considered to result from the arc-continent collision between the Amdo basement and the Qiangtang terrane in the middle Jurassic, which is a crucial step to the tectonic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau.
