Induction of apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells by Ampelopsis cantoniensis crude extract. (1/5)
The crude extract of Ampelopsis cantoniensis induced apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells and this induction was investigated by flow cytometric analysis, DNA gel electrophoresis and poly (ADP-ribose) fluorescence staining. The results demonstrated that this extract induced dose-dependent cytotoxicity and apoptosis. The level of active caspase-3 was increased after treatment with the crude extract for 24 hours.

Ampelopsis cantoniensis (AC) has been used as a folk medicine for reducing pain in the Taiwanese population. Our previous studies have shown that the crude extract of AC induced apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells. In this study, the in vivo effects of AC on leukemia WEHI-3 cells and immune responses such as phagocytosis and natural killer (NK) cell activity were investigated. The weights of the livers and spleens were decreased in the AC-treated groups compared to the control groups. The AC treatment increased the percentage of CD3 and CD19 marker cells in WEHI-3-injected mice, indicating that the precursors of T and B cells were inhibited. The AC treatment promoted the activity of macrophage phagocytosis in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and peritoneal cells. It was found that the NK cells from mice after treatment with AC can kill the YAC-1 target cells. Therefore, the AC treatment increased NK cell activity. In conclusion, AC can affect WEHI-3 cells in vivo and promote macrophage and NK cell activities.

(+info)Evaluation of volatiles from Ampelopsis brevipedunculata var. heterophylla using GC-olfactometry, GC-MS and GC-pulsed flame photometric detector. (5/5)
Ampelopsis brevipedunculata var. heterophylla is extensively cultivated in Asia, and the dried leaves and branches have a characteristic odor and have been used as a tea. To investigate the odorants contributing to the characteristic odor of A. brevipedunculata var. heterophylla, the aroma extraction dilution analysis method was performed through gas chromatography olfactometry. In addition, volatile sulfur compounds were evaluated using pulsed flame photometric detector. As a result, 86 compounds were identified in the oils of leaves and 78 in branches, accounting for 80.0% and 68.3%, respectively, of the compounds identified. The main compounds in the essential oil of leaves were palmitic acid (12.5%), phenylacetaldehyde (4.1%) and hexahydrofarnesyl acetone (3.9%). On the other hand, the essential oil of branches contained palmitic acid (12.7%), terpinen-4-ol (4.4%) and alpha-cadinol (3.7%). The total number of odor-active compounds identified in the leaf and branch oils was 39. The most odorous compounds of leaves and branches of A. brevipedunculata var. heterophylla were (E, Z)-2,6-nonadienal (melon, green odor), (E)-2-nonenal (grassy odor), phenylacetaldehyde (honey-like) and (E)-linalool oxide (woody odor). (+info)Ampelopsis is a genus of woody vines in the grape family, Vitaceae, known for their ornamental value and some species having medicinal properties, although it does not directly refer to a specific medical condition or treatment.
"Ampelopsis" is a genus of flowering plants in the grape family, Vitaceae. It includes about 25-30 species of woody vines that are native to warm temperate and subtropical regions of Asia, North America, and Central America. Some common names for Ampelopsis species include porcelain berry, Chinese vine, and American wisteria. These plants are known for their attractive foliage and clusters of small, brightly colored berries. They are often grown as ornamental plants, but some species can be invasive in certain areas.
There is no specific medical definition associated with "Ampelopsis" as it is a genus of plants and not a medical term. However, like many other plants, various parts of Ampelopsis species have been used in traditional medicine in different cultures. For example, the roots and stems of some Ampelopsis species have been used in Chinese medicine to treat various ailments such as fever, inflammation, and rheumatism. However, it is important to note that the safety and efficacy of these traditional uses have not been scientifically established, and some Ampelopsis species may contain compounds that are toxic or harmful if ingested in large quantities. Therefore, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before using any plant or plant-based product for medicinal purposes.
Vitaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes grapevines and their relatives, characterized by their typically woody stems, tendrils for climbing, and simple or lobed leaves.
"Vitaceae" is not a medical term, but a taxonomic category in botany. It refers to the grape family, which includes around 800 species of plants. Some of these plants are used in traditional medicine and may have some health benefits, but "Vitaceae" itself does not have a specific medical definition.
Olfactometry is a standardized psychophysical method used to measure the sensitivity of an individual's sense of smell by presenting precise dilutions of odorous substances and quantifying the minimum concentration at which the odor can be detected or recognized.
Olfactometry is a method used to measure the sensitivity of a person's sense of smell. It involves presenting the subject with a series of odors at different concentrations and asking them to identify or rate the intensity of the odor. The results are then used to calculate the subject's olfactory threshold, which is the lowest concentration at which they can detect the presence of an odor. Olfactometry is often used in research, occupational health, and clinical settings to assess olfactory function and diagnose smell disorders.
