[Objective]This article is written to observe the protective effect of Panax notoginseng saponins on experimental liver fibrosis in rats and to explore its possible mechanisms.[Methods]SD rats were divided at random into normal group,model group,Panax notoginseng saponins group(50,100 and 200 mg/kg)and colchicines group(Col,0.1 mg/kg).Rats in each group,except those in the normal group,were given subcutaneous injections of 50%CCl4twice per week in consecutive 18 weeks in order to abduct the liver fibrosis in rat models.From the 9th model building week on,the medicine-given groups were severally given intragastric administration of the corresponding drugs for testing while the normal and model groups were given equal amount of menstrua,once per day for continuous 10 weeks.After the experiment,the contents of hyaluronic acid(HA),laminin(LN),procollagen III N-terminal peptide(PIIINP),and Collagen IV(CIV)were detected through radio-immunoassay and the level of malondialdehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)in liver homogenate through colorimetric method.Meanwhile,liver tissues from fixed position were fetched and the degree of liver fibrosis was observed through HE and Masson staining.The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax protein in liver tissues were detected through immunohistochemical method.[Results]Comparing to the model group,Panax notoginseng saponins(100 and 200 mg/kg)have an impact not only on relieving liver fibrosis degree in rats,reducing HA,LN,PIIINP,CIV and MDA contents,raising SOD level in liver tissues,but also on inhibiting Bax expression and promoting Bcl-2 expression.[Conclusions]Panax notoginseng saponins have a certain influence on anti-fibrosis of rats'livers by an up-regulation of Bcl-2 expression and a down-regulation of Bax expression.It can be assumed that the inhibition of liver apoptosis is one of its possible mechanisms.

[Objective]To explore a suitable fertility level for the growth of Radix pseudostellariae.[Methods]Employing antioxidant enzyme activities and chlorophyll content as the indicators,an orthogonal experiment L9(33)was designed to analyze the field plantation and chemical properties of R.pseudostellariae by potted cultivation collected from the GAP production base in Shibing County of Guizhou Province.[Results]At the fertility of 3 g urea,7.5 g calcium superphosphate and 1 g potassium sulfate for each pot,R.pseudostellariae plants showed the minimum antioxidant enzyme activities and the maximum chlorophyll content.In addition,chlorophyll content,CAT and SOD activity reached the highest significant correlation under different level of potassium,while no statistical significance was detected in the correlation between antioxidant enzyme activities and chlorophyll content under other treatments.[Conclusions]Under lower fertilities,the antioxidant enzyme activities of R.pseudostellariae plants were relatively high,while chlorophyll content was lower.With the increase of fertility,the antioxidant enzyme activities descended gradually and the chlorophyll content showed an ascending trend,but excessive fertigation would affect the production of R.pseudostellariae.

As a main producing country of onion(Allium cepa L.),China accounts for 30%of total cultivation acreage and yield of onion in the world.However,the novel onion varieties are seldom released by Chinese breeders,most of them were the hybrids introduced from other countries,directly causing the higher production cost that reduces the economic benefit of farmers.Intensive study on the genetic diversity of onion resources would facilitate the breeding process of onion in China,improving both breeding efficiency and quality.Here we review the research advances in onion genetic diversity from origin and classification,morphological level,cellular level,biochemical level and molecular level,and prospect the breeding of elite novel onion varieties as well.
