With HepG2 cells as the in vitro model, the effect of temperature, drug concentration and selective inhibitors of polyspecific organic cation transporters on the cellular uptake of matrine were investigated. Result: Matrine in HepG2 cell lysate showed a good linearity within the range of 0.05 and 50.0 nmol· L-1 and the lower limit of quantification was 0.05 nmol· L-1. The uptake at 4 ℃ was significantly lower (P<0.001) than that at 37 ℃. The uptake was significantly decreased(P<0.01) when the concentration was increased from 0.5 μmol· L-1 to 400 μmol· L-1. Furthermore, the uptake of matrine was significantly inhibited (P<0.001) by pyrilamine, verapamil, quinidine and diphenhydramine. Conclusion: A simple, sensitive and rapid LC-ESI-MS/MS method was developed to study the uptake mechanism of matrine in HepG2 cells. The uptake of matrine into HepG2 cells is an active transport mechanism, which is likely due to the organic cation-sensitive transport system.

摘要:Objective: To study the effect and anti-influenza A virus (H1N1) mechanism of volatile oil from Cinnamomi Ramulus (VOCR) and its major component cinnamaldehyde in vivo. Method: Totally 70 KM mice were divided into seven groups:the control group, the model group, the Ribavirin group (0.15 g· kg-1), VOCR high and low dose groups (0.348, 0.174 mg· kg-1) and cinnamaldehyde high and low dose groups (0.264, 0.132 mg· kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. The model group was intratracheally injected with 50 μL H1N1 liquid to reproduce the H1N1 model and then continuously given drugs for 5 d to observe the inhibitory effect in the hemagglutination titer in lung tissues. The ELISA test was conducted to observe the effect on the secretions of serum interleukin-2(IL-2), IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect on T cell subsets after the five-day continuous treatment in the VOCR (0.348 mg· kg-1) group, the cinnamaldehyde (0.264 mg· kg-1) group, the control group, the model group and the Ribavirin (0.15 g· kg-1) group. Result: Compared with the normal group, the model group showed significant increases in the hemagglutination titer in lung tissues, mice serum IL-6 and TNF-α but notable decreases in CD4+/CD8+ and IL-2 content (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the VOCR (0.348 mg· kg-1) group and the cinnamaldehyde (0.264 mg· kg-1) group showed reduction in the serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α separately (P<0.05);the Cinnamaldehyde (0.264 mg· kg-1) obviously increased the rate of CD4+ to CD8+ T cells (P<0.05). All groups show no remarkable effect on serum IL-2 content. Conclusion: VOCR and cinnamaldehyde could significantly decrease the hemagglutination titer in lung tissues of H1N1-infected mice and show a better anti-H1N1 effect. The mechanism of anti-influenza A virus effect s correlated with the regulation of the ratio between the secretions of serum cytokines IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α and the increase in T cell subsets of model mice.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the curative effect of Pogostemonis Herba oil in guinea pigs in the acute otitis media model. Method: Doubling dilution was used to determine the MICs (minimum inhibitory concentration) of Pogostemonis Herba oil against common pathogens in otitis media(Staphylococcus aureus, Moraxella catarrhalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). The acute otitis media model was established by puncturing tympanic membrane and injecting methicilln-resistant S. aureus(MRSA) at 1.0 McF· mL-1 into the middle ear. After the successful modeling, the guinea pigs were divided into six groups:Pogostemonis Herba high, middle and low dose groups (100, 50, 25 g· L-1), positive groups (Vancomycin 100 g· L-1 and Ofoxacin 5 g· L-1) and the model group. All of them were dropped with corresponding drugs through ears. The model group was given isopyknic normal saline, 0.04 mL a time, 2 times a day, for consecutively days. Their middle ear cavities were cleaned with sterilized saline water before the first, second, fourth, sixth, eighth administration. The cleaning liquors were diluted and used for counting bacterial colonies. At the seventh day after the administration, the guinea pigs were beheaded to collect middle ear cavities for HE staining and observe the inflammatory cell infiltration and distribution on middle ear mucosa. Result: Pogostemonis Herba showed a MIC value of 0.21 g· L-1 against S. aureus and 0.026 g· L-1 against M. catarrhalis, but with no effect against P. aeruginosa. Compared with the model group, Pogostemonis Herba oil can significantly reduce the bacteria number in middle ears of guinea pigs in the acute otitis media model (P<0.05) and the inflammatory cell infiltration at the middle ear mucosa. Conclusion: Pogostemonis Herba oil has a good efficacy in treating guinea pigs in the acute otitis media model.

摘要:Objective: To compare the effect of different flavonoids on a cell anti-inflammation, immunity and chondrocyte proliferation based on the decomposed formula of Yaotongning capsule (YTNC), in order to provide basis for screening candidate fractions treating rheumatoid bone diseases. Method: Five flavonoids:Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Fgu), Epimedium sagittatum (Fes), Carthamus tinctorius (Fct), Davallia mariesii (Fdm), Taxillus chinensis (Ftc), at 50% and their proportional compounds were mixed into alkaloids of Strychnos nux-vomica and Ephedra sinica to obtain six formulas. Their half effective inhibitory concentration (IC50) and half effective concentrations (EC50) were adopted to evaluate the effect of the samples in promoting interleukin-6(IL-6), IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) inflammatory factor in macrophages Ana-1, inhibiting prostaglamd in E2(PGE2) secretion released from Ana-1 cells induced by LPS and promoting chondrocyte proliferation. The optimization method based on least squares was applied to calculate additive EC50/IC50 value of each sample. The interactions between the effective fractions were analzed by comparing the differences between the additive EC50/IC50 values with the corresponding experimental EC50/IC50 values. Result: The formula mainly consisting of Fdm had the best effect in promoting the secretion of IL-1β. The formula consisting of Fct had the best effect in stimulating IL-6 secretion, and other activities second only to the best formulas. The formula consisting of Strychnos nux-vomica, Ephedra sinica and the five flavonoids had the best effect among the inhibiting PGE2 secretion and promoting TNF-α secretion and chondrocyte proliferation, and a strong synergistic effect among the effective fractions in this formula was observed. In the model for promoting chondrocyte proliferation, there were strong antagonistic effects among effective fractions in the formula consisting of single flavonoid and alkaloid. Conclusion: There is excellent synergistic interaction among different kinds of flavonoids. Fct, Fdm and flavonoid mixtures have good synthetic pharmacological activities in anti-inflammation, immunomodulation and chondrocyte proliferation, suggesting that Fct, Fdm and flavonoid mixtures can be used to optimize candidate effective fractions of flavonoids for traditional Chinese medicines for treating rheumatism bone diseases.

摘要:Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of the adjuvant therapy with traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) in treating perimenopausal insomnia. Method: The PubMed, Cochrane Library, OVID, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases between 2010 and December 2014 were searched through computer to collect all RCTs on the comparison of the combined therapy of TCM and western medicines and the simple therapy of western medicines in treating perimenopausal insomnia. The data extraction form was designed. Two researchers independently screened the littérateurs, extracted data and evaluated the literature bias risk according to the inclusion standards. The Meta-analysis was operated by using RevMan 5.2.6 software. Result: A total of 21 RCTs involving 1 608 patients were included. The result of Meta-analysis indicated t hat the TCM adjuvant therapy group was superior to the control group in terms of clinical effectiveness[OR=3.26, 95%CI(2.50, 4.26), P<0.000 01], recurrence rate[OR=4.21, 95%CI(2.46, 7.22), P<0.000 01]and total scale of PSQI[MD=-2.28, 95%CI(-2.78, -1.78)]. With respect to the sleep improvement, the TCM adjuvant therapy group was also better than the control group in quality of sleep[MD=-0.40, 95%CI(-0.73, -0.06)], time of sleeping[MD=-0.54, 95%CI(-0.91, -0.16)], hour of sleep[MD=-0.41, 95%CI(-0.60, -0.22)], efficiency of sleep[MD=-0.38, 95%CI(-0.56, -0.20)], disorders of sleep[MD=-0.37, 95%CI(-0.55, -0.19)], application of hypnotic drugs[MD=-0.32, 95%CI(-0.47, -0.18)], daytime dysfunction[MD=-0.29, 95%CI(-0.47, -0.10)]and scale of Kupperman[MD=-5.48, 95%CI(-9.87, -1.09), P=0.01]. With respect to the syndrome evaluation, the TCM adjuvant therapy group showed a better effect than the conventional treatment group in relieving patients' hot flash and sweating[MD=-1.65, 95%CI(-1.84, -1.45)], irritability[MD=-0.99, 95%CI(-1.13, -0.85)], dizziness and palpitation[MD=-2.18, 95%CI(-2.92, -1.43)]and mental burnout[MD=-1.89, 95%CI(-2.07, -1.72)]. At the level of endocrine hormone, the TCM adjuvant therapy group can better improve the estradiol (E2) level[MD=17.70, 95%CI(1.89, 33.52)]and reduce the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)[MD=-11.51, 95%CI(-20.49, -2.53)], but with no statistical significance in difference in luteinizing hormone (LH)[MD=-5.85, 95%CI(-13.01, 1.30)]. No serious or frequent adverse effect was reported for the two groups. Conclusion: The Meta-analysis suggests that the adjuvant intervention with TCM can improve patients' sleep disorders, enhance the quality of sleep, with less adverse effect. However, there are only a few research methodologies and reports in a low quality. The above results shall be further proved by well-designed large-sample-size studies.

摘要:Drugs can play its efficacy only when their concentration accumulates to a certain degree at target sites. The accumulated concentration is not only related to the drug dosage, but also closely correlated with the processes of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion in organisms. Since the pharmacokinetic behaviors of drugs may significantly change in pathological conditions, it is of great significance to study drug pharmacokinetics in disease conditions and rationally design clinical dosage regimens. Therefore, to provide certain reference of rational clinical drug administration of traditional Chinese medicines(TCMs) and their preparations, efforts shall be made to analyze the impacts of some clinical common diseases on the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of TCMs and the impacts of different lesions and their interactions on the metabolic process of TCMs.  
摘要:Lotus leaves (Nelumbo nucifera) are fresh or dried leaves of perennial aquatic plant N. nucifera, which are commonly used as a traditional Chinese herb as well as food. The optimal harvest seasons of lotus leaves are summer and autumn. Lotus leaves are mostly distributed and cultivated in drainage basins of Yellow River, Changjiang River and Zhujiang River in China. Modern research has shown that flavonoids and alkaloids are the principal constituents in lotus leaves. Along with the development modern research technologies, in-depth studies have showed that quercetin, isoquercetin and kaempferol are the main flavonoid aglycines, and isoquinoline alkaloids, aporphine alkaloids and its derivatives are the principal alkaloids. Lotus leaves have extensive pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anti-obesity, anti-human immunodeficiency virus(HIV), anti-cancer and anti-cardiovascular disease activity, with a better medicinal value. Based on the domestic and foreign literatures, theses and dissertations in the past 10 years, relevant researches for flavonoid and alkaloid constituents of lotus leaves were summarized in order to provide references for further studies and production, which included the chemical composition, extraction and isolation progress, quality assessment methods and the pharmacological activity.

摘要:Islet beta cell dysfunction and decrease play an important role in the occurrence and development of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). The effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) on the protection of islet beta cells was recognized and plays a crucial role in the prevention and control of type 2 diabetes. The protective mechanism of TCMs' extracts, monomer and compounds to islet beta cells were summarized to define their effect in protecting islet beta cells and treating T2DM. Some TCMs can promote islet beta cell proliferation, reduce islet beta cells apoptosis, and protect islet beta cells indirectly by promoting islet beta cell proliferation, reducing islet beta cell apoptosis, improving serum and pancreatic tissue oxidative stress, improving islet cell insulin resistance, improving the level of glucagon like peptide-1(GLP-1), improving pancreas microcirculation, regulating autophagy level. Because of the complexity of the traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and compound formula, their protective effect on islet beta cells involves a variety of targets and mechanisms. Besides, under the guidance of general concept of TCMs, TCMs have a higher safety in treating T2DM. Therefore, TCMs have a broad prospect to protect islet beta cells. With the development of biotechnology, it is possible to screen out new diabetes drugs from TCMs.

摘要:The advance in studies on the quality control of Scrophulariae Radix was summarized. Literatures in recent years were studied to define the main active ingredient in S. ningpoensis is iridoid glycosides. Although Scrophulariae Radix has grown in most areas of China, there is no improved quality standards and norms and sufficient quantitative control, which resulted in differences in quality control. The current development trend for controlling traditional Chinese medicine quality is to diversify the quality control mode and establish the multi-mode multi-chromatography system and its coupling technique quality control method. Currently, the quality control mode for Scrophulariae Radix is dominated by single index, multi-index quality control and fingerprint;HPLC, high performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), attenuated total reflectance (ATR) and other techniques lay a foundation for exploring methods and new techniques for systematic control and evaluation for Scrophulariae Radix. The above content provides the reference for chemical components and quality control of Scrophulariae Radix and the basis for further development and utilization of Scrophulariae Radix resources.
