    Mice were immunized with Campylobacter jejuni-S(131) (CJ-S(131)) to establish the lupus-like model. Splenocytes from lupus like mice were challenged with CJ-S(131) to induce inflammatory response in vitro. Bupleurum smithii var. parvifolium polysaccharides (BPs) was added in the inflammatory model to observe its underlying mechanisms of action on lupus. BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups including normal control group, adjuvant control group and lupus-like model. Mice were immunized on Day 0 and 14 with CJ-S(131) to establish lupus-like syndrome, and sacrificed on Day 19. Splenocytes from each group were collected and divided into blank control group, BPs added group (BPs 5, 10, 20, 40 μg·m L(-1)), CJ-S(131) stimulated group, and CJ-S(131) plus BPs group. The levels of total IgG, anti-ds DNA antibody, interferon-γ, interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-17 were quantified by ELISA. The proliferation of splenocytes was determined in the MTT assay. BPs significantly suppressed the high levels of total IgG, anti-ds DNA antibody, IFN-γ and IL-10 stimulated by CJ-S131 and had no significant effects on increased IL-17 secretion and splenocytes proliferation. The results suggest that re-stimulation of splenocytes with CJ-S(131) could establish an inflammatory model in vitro. The effect of BPs on lupus might is related to its inhibition of the production of autoantibodies and associated cytokines.

    Biosynthesis of Polysaccharides

    Polysaccharides such as glycogen and starch are synthesized from nucleoside diphosphate sugars, primarily uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPG) and adenosine diphosphate glucose (ADPG). These activated glucose donors act as key intermediates in carbohydrate metabolism and biosynthesis. UDPG primarily involves glycogen synthesis in animals and many bacteria, while ADPG plays a fundamental role in starch synthesis in plants and certain bacteria.UDPG is formed when glucose-1-phosphate reacts with...

    Cellulose and Pectic Polysaccharides

     Every plant cell has a cell wall that protects the cell, provides structural support, and gives the cell shape. Cellulose, the main structural component of the plant cell wall, makes up over 30% of plant matter. It is the most abundant organic compound on earth.  Cellulose is an unbranched polysaccharide composed of linear chains of glucose molecules linked by β (1→4) glycosidic bonds.
    As a cell matures, its cell wall specializes according to its type. For example, the...

    To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

    In Vitro Fertilization

    In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
    The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

    Equivalence: In Vitro and In Vivo Bioequivalence

    Body:Bioequivalence studies are crucial in evaluating whether new drugs can match an approved one regarding pharmacological effects and clinical performance. These studies test if drugs, despite different dosage forms, share identical plasma concentration-time profiles. Three types of equivalence are central to these studies: chemical, pharmaceutical, and therapeutic. Chemical equivalence indicates that two or more drug products contain identical active ingredients in equal amounts.

    Alternative drug dissolution methods include the rotating bottle, intrinsic dissolution test, peristalsis, and the Franz diffusion cell method. The rotating bottle method involves meticulously rotating tightly capped controlled-release beads in a temperature-controlled bath. Periodic decanting of samples allows for residue assay, followed by refilling with fresh medium and testing at various pH levels to emulate the gastrointestinal tract conditions.In contrast, the intrinsic dissolution test...
