title: [Effect of polysaccharides from Bletilla striata on the adhesion of human umbilical venous endothelial cells].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of polysaccharides from Bletilla striata (BSP) on the adhesion of human umbilical venous endothelial cells (HUVECs).
  
  
  METHODS
  HUVEC were cultured in DMEM and treated with different concentrations of BSP. The effects of BSP on the proliferation of HUVEC were observed with MTT method.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among control and 60 - 120 microg/ml BSP groups, it showed significant difference specially in 80 microg/ml group.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  BSP promotes the adhesion of HUVEC but not with a does -dependent manner in vitro.
