摘要:miRNA, as a 19~23 nucleotide non-coding RNA, plays an important role in biological growth, differentiation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. miRNA played an important role in pathologic remodeling process of coronary artery disease(CAD) and injury in myocardial contractility. Further research found that some cardiac-specific miRNA exhibited certain a diagnostic value of diagnoses about CAD, which was closely associated with traditional markers. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) played an important role in treating coronary heart disease(CHD). According to studies on TCM and miRNA,miRNA is likely to be a new target for the theory development of TCM theory, and syndrome remarker and development R&D of TCM. This paper gives a brief introduction of miRNA, and focuses on the role of miRNA as a potential biomarker for treating(CHD) and its close relationship with TCM.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect of panax notogin seng (PNS) on the expression of miRNA-466b and its apoptosis related proteins in myocardial cells of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) animal model, and to explore the post transcriptional molecular mechanism of the anti-apoptosis effect of PNS. Method: The 36 male wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham operation group, model group, and PNS group. Coronary ligation of left anterior descending branch was done to establish acute myocardial infarction (AMI) models. PNS group rats were intramuscularly injected with PNS (1.429 mg·g-1) respectively on 4 h before AMI, 1 day and 2 days after AMI. TUNEL, RT-PCR and Western blot methods were used to observe the apoptosis of myocardial tissue in rats, and detect the expression of miRNA-466b, Caspase-3, Caspase-9 and Bcl2L13 genes and proteins. Result: Compared with model group, PNS treatment group could significantly reduce infarction area and apoptosis of myocardial cells (P<0.05), and there was no difference in miRNA-466b expression level between model group and sham operation group, while miRNA-466b in PNS group was significantly up-regulated, with significant difference with model group (P<0.01). Compared with sham operation group, the expression of Caspase-3 mRNA and protein in model group was significantly increased (P<0.05), and PNS can significantly down-regulate it (P<0.05, P<0.01), and changes in expression of Bcl2L13 and Caspase-9 mRNA and protein were not evident in model group, while PNS can significantly down-regulate the expression of these two indicators (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: PNS plays a key role in the protection of myocardial cells in rats with AMI, probably by up-regulating miRNA-466b, down-regulating Bcl2L13, Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 protein expression to inhibit cell apoptosis.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the effect of tonifying kidney anti-hypertension decoction on SHR with abnormal blood lipid and blood glucose and adiponectin pathway. Method: Totally 40 5-week-old clean grade SHRs were randomly divided into the normal diet group and high-fat group. After the modeling at the 8th week, the high-fat group rats were divided into three groups:model group (blank SHR with abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism), captopril group and tonifying kidney group (tonifying kidney anti-hypertension decoction). After the treatment of 8 weeks, the rats were killed to test their blood pressure, glucose, blood lipid and insulin. Myocardial tissue sections were stained with HE to observe the pathological changes in heart. The content of ADP in serum was detected by Elisa assay. Result: Before the treatment with drugs, blood pressure of SHRs with a high sugar and fat diet had no statistical difference. Blood pressure of groups with a high sugar and fat diet was higher than those with normal diet (P<0.05). After the modeling at the 4th week, compared with the model group, captopril group showed a lower blood pressure significantly (P<0.05). After 8 weeks, compared with the model group, captopril group and tonifying kidney group showed statistically significant difference in the blood pressure (P<0.01). Compared with SHR group, model group, captopril group, tonifying kidney group showed decreased adiponectin, and model group had significant difference (P<0.05). In PPAR-mRNA of heart, the model group, captopril group and tonifying kidney group were higher than SHR group. Compared with the model group, captopril group and tonifying kidney group were lower. The expressions of AdipoR1 protein in model group, captopril group and tonifying kidney group were higher than that in SHR group. Compared with the model group, captopril group and tonifying kidney group were lower. AdipoR2 protein expression in model group, captopril group and tonifying kidney group were higher than that in SHR group. Compared with the model group and the captopril group, tonifying kidney group had a decreasing tendency. Conclusion: Tonifying kidney anti-hypertension decoction can regulate the abnormal blood lipid and blood glucose of SHRs and protect their hearts. Its mechanism may be correlated with the regulation of adiponectin pathway.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the effect of sleep deprivation(SD) stress on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, so as to discuss the sleep deprivation mechanism in aggravate myocardial I/R injury, while providing new ideas for studies on the effect of anxiety and insomnia on the development of coronary heart disease(CHD). Method: Experimental rats were randomly divided into sham operation, SD sham operation, I/R group and SD+I/R group, the modified multiple platform water environment method was used for seven-day sleep deprivation. Efforts were made to take the blood from rats eyes and then ligate left anterior descending coronary artery for 50 min, reperfused for 2, 24 h respectively to establish myocardial I/R model. The SD 7-day serum melatonin (MT), angiotensin (AngⅡ), endothelin (ET), nitric oxide (NO), interleukin 6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF alpha) were measured; Ultrasound was used to observed cardiac ejection fraction (EF)at 2, 24 h after I/R, HE staining at 2 h after I/R was adopted to observe cardiac pathological structure and measure serum creatine kinase MB(CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) at 2 h after I/R. TTC Evans blue staining was used to determine the percent of myocardial infarction in ischemic area at 24 h after I/R. Result: After SD 7 days, the rats showed manic irritability, significant weight reduction, decline in serum MT levels, and obvious increases in AngⅡ, ET, IL-6, TNF-alpha. Serum CK-MB and LDH increased obviously at 2 h after I/R, ejection fraction (EF) were significantly decreased at 2, 24 h after I/R, and the percent of myocardial infarction in ischemic area significantly increased at 24 h after I/R.The pathological results showed the aggravated myocardial injury, with statistically significant differences from sham operation, SD sham operation and simple I/R group(P<0.05). Conclusion: The simple sleep deprivation stress can cause decrease in MT and increase in AngⅡ, ET, IL-6 and TNF-alpha, but without obvious effect on myocardial structure and function of rat. However, sleep deprivation could obviously aggravate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Its mechanism may be related to neuroendocrine disorders, decrease in melatonin, endothelial injury and inflammation, and shall be confirmed in further studies.

摘要:Formulae and compounds are two concepts with different connotations in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM). Formulae are the main form of using TCM based on the theory of drug properties, syndrome pathogenesis and therapeutic method, and characterized by the combination of TCMs, which fully reflects the close relationship between TCM and TCM herbs. But as the product of TCM modernization, compounds are characterized by the combination of effective parts or components of TCMs based on theory of active substances, disease pathology and pharmacology, which shows the relations between natural medicines and TCMs. There are essential differences in the connotation between formulae and compounds although their similarity in the use of TCMs. The confusion of the definitions of formulae and compounds makes theoretical difficulties for TCM formulary, clinical application base, compounds' efficacy evaluation and application based on syndrome differentiation. TCM formulae and compounds shall have their own research objectives and fields based on different subject backgrounds, connotations and functions. For one thing, modern research of formulae shall follow the experience background in the treatment based on syndrome or disease differentiation and the correlation between the disease syndrome and formulae, and focus on the correlation of drug compatibility and disease or syndrome, namely the regularity of the correlation between the disease syndrome and formulae and the biological connotation. Meanwhile, based on the formula chemistry and its complicated regulating effect, and the identification of formulae's chemical components, efforts shall be made to explore the compound-biological effect mode, which is academically significant in identifying TCM formulae's efficacy principle form a new perspective; For another, compound studies are not necessarily restricted to the experience background in TCM. It is of more practical significance to track the progress in systematic biology and synthetic biology, set up the biological effect evaluation system for the combination of TCM components and discover the new formulae containing TCM chemical fractions, components or ingredients for treating modern diseases by using TCM chemical analysis and the latest separation technology.

摘要:Objective: To explore the medication rules of traditional Chinese medicine for treating diabetes. Method: The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions for treating diabetes were collected to build a database based on TCM inheritance assist system. Association rules algorithm and entropy clustering methods were used to determine the frequency of single drug and drug combinations, the association rules between drugs, core drug combinations and so on. Result: Based on the analysis of prescriptions for treating diabetes, the frequently adopted drugs were Astragali Radix, Poria, Rehmanniae Radix, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. The frequently adopted drug combinations were 'Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Astragali Radix', 'Astragali Radix and Rehmanniae Radix', and 'Poria and Astragali Radix'. In the association rules with a confidence of over 0.85, the drug combinations included 'Corni Fructus, Moutan Cortex, Poria->Dioscoreae Rhizoma', 'Moutan Cortex, Alismatis Rhizoma, Poria->Dioscoreae Rhizoma', and 'Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Moutan Cortex, Alismatis Rhizoma->Poria'. Conclusion: In TCM, the drugs used for treating diabetes mostly have the effects of tonifying Qi and Yin, strengthening spleen and kidney, clearing heat and promoting fluid, and activating circulation to remove blood stasis, which reflects a refined and rational compatibility.
