| Osteoporosis (OP) is a kind of disease caused by many reasons.Along with the growth of aging population, fracture caused by OPtends to be increase, so does the rate of complication, disability anddeath caused by long-term bedridden after fracture. It poses greatthreat to aging population. Academic circles all over the world havealready realized that OP is of great importance.Seeing that biological character of bone structure, the Researchon biosynthesis of bone mostly uses cartilage structure,Proteoglycan(PG), which has close relationship with OP takes a great proportion incartilage structure,80-90% PG is Glycosaminoglycan (GAG)。All inall, PG has it close relationship with OP.Actually, PG is a short name for Proteoglycan. It means that one ormore than one high polymer material of covalent linkage polycosechain and protein, and it mainly means that complex of covalent bondadpressed polycose and protein. PG and it mainly structure GAG is akind of important biomacromolecule,and it is also the one of therichest structure in content and function of extracellular matrix (ECM).PG exist in great numbers in vertebrate cartilage, skin, tendon etc.,connective tissue and it has complex function in physiology andimportant clinical significance.Antler is one of precious traditional Chinese medicine. Its specialgrowing process has both similarity and distinction in endochondralbone formation course。The process rate of bone-built in antler is asfast as 1/4 inch per a day and comparing with any other animals in anyages, it would be the top rate according to recent research. This uniquerate of bone-built made the bone quality which was built within 3-4months was equal to 1/6 total bone quality of this kind of animal.This structure would surely drop and then built once per a year. Duringthis bone-built procession, Ca, P and protein in blood should be keeptheir content.In view of that it is convenient to do material selection fromAntler which has its mainly cartilage structure with PG that has soimportant physiology function, it arouses our great interest to PG inAntler especially to chondritin in Antler. It is really good for how touse antler as our traditional Chinese medicine.Firstly, Schubert and others extracted cartilage GAG which wasconnected with protein. After increasingly improvement, they use 4Mguanidine hydrochloride extraction and density gradient centrifugationto get PG simple substance. Our research was base on Antler. Afterguanidine hydrochloride extraction and DEAE-23 columnchromatography, We elute and continuous gradient elution by NaClurea solution and got PG from antler successfully. It is ChsA bytesting.Making female Wistars rats spayed to be OP model and dividedthem with normal rats into normal group, control group and modelgroup randomly. Use hairy deer horn, the blood of hairy deer horn,deer blood and OP medicine to feed rats in group. During this feeding... |
