摘要:Objective: To observe the effect of extract from Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Chuanxiong Rhizoma(EGNC) on the smooth muscle 22α (SM22α) expressions of replicative senescence vascular smooth muscle cells and cytoskeleton-associated protein. Method: With human aortic smooth muscle cells as the research objects and the replicative senescence 9th generation cells as the aging model, this experiment was divided into youth group (5th generation cells), model group (9th generation cell), EGNC low dose group (100 mg·L-1), middle dose group (200 mg·L-1), and high dose group (400 mg·L-1), resveratrol group (10 μmol·L-1). The drug intervention time was 48 h. β-galactosidase staining method was used to calculate blue dye cell ratio. The cell cycle was analyzed by the flow cytometry. Immunofluorescent staining method was used to observe the morphological changes of SM22α;while the mRNA and protein expressions of SM22α were detected by qPCR and Western blot respectively. Result: Compared with the youth group, the cell size was increased and shape was irregular in model;number of cells in G0/G1 stage was increased and number of cells in S stage was reduced;number of blue-dyed cells in β-galactosidase staining method was reduced (P < 0.01), conforming to the characteristics of aging model;in addition, SM22α staining was fuzzy and bleak, and the fluorescence intensity was weakened significantly, with reduced mRNA and protein expressions of SM22α (P < 0.01). As compared with the model group, drug intervention effectively reduced the number of blue-dyed cells, reduced the number of cells in G0/G1, increased the number of cells in S stage, enhanced the fluorescence staining intensity of SM22α, and increased mRNA and protein expressions of SM22α, with statistically significant difference (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Conclusion: The replicative senescence vascular smooth muscle cells can be used as aging research models. The morphology, gene and protein expressions of SM22α were changed obviously in the process of cell aging, and it may involve in the process of cell aging together with cytoskeleton. EGNC delayed the aging of vascular smooth muscle cells to a certain extent and had obvious intervention effect on SM22α, so it might delay the aging of vessels with the cytoskeleton indirectly.

Protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry, gene and protein expressions of C-X-C chemokine ligand 12(CXCL12) and its receptor C-X-C chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4) in tumor tissues by using Real-time PCR and Western blot method. Result: Aitongping high and low dose groups significantly inhibited the growth of tumors in H22 tumor-bearing mice. Aitongping high dose group significantly decreased the protein expression of VEGF in the tumor tissues, and inhibited the gene and protein expressions of CXCR4 (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Aitongping capsules have a certain inhibitory effect on tumor growth and metastasis in H22 tumor-bearing mice, and its mechanism may be associated with reducing protein expression of VEGF in tumor tissues and interventing CXCL12/CXCR4 biological axis.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the treatment effect of Yiqi Jiedu Huoluo formula(YQJDHL) in rats with early diabetic nephropathy (DN) and observe its effect on transforining growth factor-β(TGF-β)/Smad pathways. Method: Totally 72 SPF healthy male SD rats were used to establish diabetes mellitus (DM) models by tail injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Then according to the blood sugar levels, the rats were randomly divided into model group, YQJDHL prevention group (2.4 g·kg-1·d-1), YQJDHL low dose group and high dose group (2.4, 7.2 g·kg-1·d-1), positive drug group (benazepril hydrochloride, 10 mg·kg-1·d-1), another normal group was also set up, n=12 in each group. In the YQJDHL preventive group, YQJDHL compound formula was immediately given after DM models were made. While in YQJDHL high and low dose groups and positive drug group, the medicine was given two weeks after the DM models were made, that was immediately after DN models were made. Four weeks after intragastrical administration of YQJDHL formula, 24 h urine of rats was collected to determine the urine trace albumin, and the blood was taken by abdominal aorta puncture to determine blood glucose in rats;renal tissue samples were collected to observe the renal pathological changes by htoxylin-eosin (HE) staining method;the effects of YQJDHL TGF-β1, Smad3/7 mRNA and protein expression levels in the kidney tissues of early DN rats were observed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot assay. Result: As compared with the normal group, the blood glucose and urine trace albumin were significantly increased in rats of model group;TGF-β1 and Smad3 expression levels were significantly increased;Smad7 expression level was significantly reduced (P < 0.01);and the renal pathological changes were obvious in pathological observation. QJDHL treatment groups and preventive group could reduce the blood glucose and urine trace albumin in rats, reduce TGF-β1 and Smad3 expression levels in kidney tissues, and increase Smad7 expression (P < 0.05, P < 0.01);in addition, renal pathological changes were significantly improved. Conclusion: The results showed that the YQJDHL formula had the treatment and prevention effect for the DN, and its mechanism of action may be associated with TGF-β/Smad signaling pathways.  
摘要:Objective: To study the effect of flavone from Galii Veri Herba et Radix (FGVL) against acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line NB4, in order to provide a new evidence for future clinical treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia.

摘要:Objective: To observe the effects of iridoid glycoside extract from Corni Fructus (ECF) on mitochondrial oxygen consumption and related genes expression in 3T3-L1 mature adipocytes, and analyze the possible molecular mechanism. Method: With 3T3-L1 adipocytes as the study objects, Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress Test was used to detect the effect of ECF (at the concentrations of 0.04, 0.2, 1 g·L-1) for 2 d on the oxygen consumption rate in adipocytes, and blank group was additionally set up. Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), silent information regulator 2 related enzyme 1 (SIRT1), adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 antibodies (UCP-1), PR domain proteins 16 (PRDM16) and peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) mRNA expressions were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Result: As compared with the blank group, 2 days' intervention of 0.2, 1 g·L-1 ECF in mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes enhanced ATP production, basal respiration and maximal respiration;1 g·L-1 ECF intervention enhanced the spare respiration capacity;0.04 g·L-1 ECF significantly increased the oxygen consumption rate of proton leak. ECF intervention for 2 days at various concentrations significantly up-regulated PGC-1α, AMPK and SIRT1 mRNA levels, and significantly down-regulated PPARγ mRNA expression level, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), but they showed no significant effects on UCP-1 and PRDM16 mRNA expression levels. Conclusion: In mature adipocytes, ECO could enhance the aerobic respiration and increase ATP production, and the adipocytes have no beiging characteristics, so these effects might be related to regulations of AMPK, SIRT1, PGC-1α and PPARγ levels.

摘要:Objective: To explore the pro-apoptosis effects of Qiyu Sanlong decoction (QYSL) and its biological immunoregulation effect on Helper T cells in mice with lung cancer. Method: The mice models of lung cancer were established in C57BL/6 mice using lewis lung carcinoma cells line (LLC) by culture and transplantation method. After successful modeling, the mice were randomly divided into model group, chemotherapy group, QYSL group and combination group, 8 cases in each group, another 8 cases normal mice were used as blank group. The survival state of mice was observed, the tumor was weighed and tumor inhibition rate was calculated. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructural changes of tumor cells and determine whether QYSL can induce apoptosis of tumor cells. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the levels of interleukin (IL)-2, interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 in the spleen of mice. The transcriptional level of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA expressions in tumor tissues was detected by Real-time PCR assay. Result: The survival state of QYSL group and combination group was significantly superior to that of chemotherapy group. As compared with the model group, tumor growth could be significantly inhibited by QYSL group, chemotherapy group and combination group, with significant differences (P < 0.01). Under electron microscope, the tumor cells change was mainly based on apoptosis and necrosis was also present in QYSL group, multiple apoptotic bodies were visible, typical necrotic cells were visible in combination group. Expression level of Bcl-2 mRNA in various treatment group was significantly lower than that in model group (P < 0.01). Bcl-2 mRNA expression level in QYSL group and combination group was lower than that in chemotherapy group (P < 0.01). Expression of Bax mRNA in treatment groups was significantly higher than that in model group, and the expression of Bax mRNA in combination group was increased as compared with the chemotherapy group. As compared with the model group and chemotherapy group, the IL-2 level in QYSL group and IFN-γ level in combination group were increased (P < 0.01). The IL-4 and IL-10 levels in QYSL group and combination group were lower than those in model group (P < 0.05), while above two levels in combination group were significantly lower than those in chemotherapy group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Qiyu Sanlong decoction can improve the survival state and induce apoptosis of lung cancer cells in mice with lung cancer, and the apoptosis mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of Bcl-2 level and up-regulation of Bax level. Qiyu Sanlong decoction can also improve the immune function and inhibit the tumor immune escape by increasing IL-2, IFN-γ levels and decreasing IL-4, IL-10 levels to balance Th1/Th2 drift.

摘要:Objective: To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Kudiezi injection in the treatment of unstable angina pectoris. Method: VIP, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed were searched to find the clinical randomized controlled trials on Kudiezi injection treatment for unstable angina. The literature were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and evaluated according to Jadad quality assessment criteria;Revman 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis. Result: A total of 10 randomized controlled trials were included in the systematic review, all of which were low-quality studies with Jadad score < 3 points. Meta analysis showed that Kudiezi injection was better than the control group in total effective rate [OR=3.31, 95%CI(2.23, 4.92), P < 0.000 01], markedly effective rate [OR=1.67, 95%CI(1.28, 2.18), P=0.000 1] and electrocardiogram efficacy [OR=2.70, 95%CI(1.95, 3.74), P < 0.000 01] for the treatment of unstable angina pectoris, with statistically significant differences. Conclusion: Kudiezi injection in the treatment of unstable angina can significantly improve the total effective rate, markedly effective rate and electrocardiogram efficacy with satisfactory safety. However, the existing small-sample randomized controlled trials are of low methodological and reporting quality, so large-sample high-quality clinical studies are required for further verification.

摘要:Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional intestinal disease, with abdominal pain or discomfort associated with bowel habit change as the main clinical manifestation, and its etiology has not been fully clear yet. Brain-gut Peptides with dual functions of transmitters or modulators for hormones and nerves, such as corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF), substance P (SP), motilin (MTL), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), nerve peptide Y (NPY) and somatostatin(SS), play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBS. In vivo brain-gut peptide levels in IBS patients can reflect their disease progression from a certain extent. Chinese medicine interventions can regulate the abnormal changes of brain-gut peptides, thereby improve the symptoms. This review was written based on the brain-gut peptide changes of IBS patients and experimental animals as well as the effects of traditional Chinese medicine interventions, to provide ideas for the research on traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment of IBS.

摘要:Network formulaology has the features of combining network science and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) formulaology, with the help of modern technology, integrating macroTCM holistic thinking and modern molecular medicine microscopic biological perspective, through knowledge-associated network construction and analysis, to establish a systemicformula repository as well as disease and syndrome network, focusing on the integrated regulation mechanism of effective components in the TCM formulae, clarification of compatibility laws, new drug development and the analogous formulae networks. Material foundation research reveals the action mechanism of TCM formulae, so it is the guarantee of quality control and safety of TCM formulae, compatibility law is the core of TCM formulae, TCM formulae has advantages of integrated regulator in complex diseases treatment, so it is an important source to develop new Chinese herbal medicines. Research of analogous formulae can help to reveal the complex systems of TCM formulae and understand the core issues of compatibility law. The above four aspects are the focuses and difficulties in modernization research of TCM formulae, and also act as the important contents and directions of network formulaology. Because of the multi-component, multi-target and multi-channel complex mechanisms of TCM formulae, its scientific connotation has not been clarified yet. The development of network formulaology is beneficial to interpret the scientific connotation of TCM compounds, improve the efficacy of clinical medicine, and expand the ideas of new drugs. However, the scope ofresearch, related results and development directions of the network formulaology are lack of systematic teasing currently, not conducive to promoting modernization of formulaology. The research methods and progress on fundamental research, compatibility theory, new drug development, and analogous formulae research were reviewed in this paper, to clarify the prescription principles, compatibility law and clinical useof TCM formulaology.

摘要:Chinese medicine is the foundation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to prevent and cure diseases, its authenticity will directly affect the safety and effectiveness of clinical medication. Standardization is the premise of the modernization of Chinese medicine, because it is a complex system, which has characteristics of multi-level and multi-target. And traditional method to identify Chinese medicine is mainly on the basis of character identification which is difficult to guarantee the objectivity and accuracy, and the standardized digitization in Chinese medicine has become the inevitable direction along with the development of it. And the modern development of digital research can only be a good study on the quality control of medicinal materials, but it can't control the efficacy of Chinese medicine. Standardized digitization of Chinese medicine in recent years were summarized in order to make a contribution to the development of digitization in Chinese medicine. At the same time, the author suggests that the future development of digitization in Chinese medicine should be combined with the character and determination.  
摘要:There are four species from the genus Hosta in China, and they have been used as traditional folk medicines by Han, Mongolian, Thai, Naxi and many other nationalities for a long history. With the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, and relieving cough and sore throat, they were collected in Great Dictionary of Chinese Medicine, Chinese Materia Medica, Zhongguo Minzuyao Zhiyao, Chinese Materia Medica-Mongolian Medicine, Inner Mongolia Medicinal Standard and other books. The commercially available Mongolian medicines with flowers of Hosta plantaginea(Lam.) Aschers as the main medicinal material include Yuzan Qingyan Shiwuwei Wan, Yuzan Qingyan Shiwuwei San, and Qingyan Liuwei San, mainly used for swollen and sore throats, asthma, hoarseness, and sternocostal tingling. Comprehensive analysis of the literature from CNKI, Wanfang, Web of Science, SciFinder, Pubmed and other databases showed that steroidal compounds were the major and representative constituents in the plant of Hosta, displaying anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antimicrobial activities. However, the medicinal effectiveness and action mechanisms for the above pharmacological actions are still unknown. The studies showed that steroidal saponins isolated from Chinese herbal medicine had anti-inflammatory effect relying on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal cortex axis, similar to the glucocorticoids. Therefore, study on the steroids from the genus Hosta and their anti-inflammatory activities is very import for elucidating the medicinal effectiveness and mechanism of anti-inflammatory effect of genus Hosta. However, there are few studies on the chemical constituents and pharmacological activities of genus Hosta in China. This review aims to provide reference for the quality control, clinical application and reasonable development of Hosta plants by sorting, analyzing and summarizing the researches both at home and abroad on steroids constituents from genus Hosta and their biological activities.
