摘要:Objective: To develop a simple UPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of norephedrine, norpseudoephedrine, ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, methylephedrine, amygdalin and prunasin in rat tissues and to analysis tissue distribution of these compounds in rats after oral administration of Ephedrae Herba-Amygdalus Communis Vas extract. Method: The current method was validated according to the FDA guidelines for the validation of biological sample analysis method. Diphenhydramine hydrochloride and puerarin were selected for quantitative analysis of alkaloids in Ephedrae Herba, amygdalin and prunasin, respectively. Result: Nine active compounds, including 3 pairs of epimers, were separated and quantified within 18 min by a sensitive and reliable UPLC-MS/MS method. Alkaloids in Ephedrae Herba were widely distributed in major tissues. Poor tissue distribution of amygdalin was observed, and prunasin (metabolite of amygdalin) can be detected in tissues except the brain. Contrary to D-amygdalin in vivo, D-prunasin had lower concentration (its concentrations in heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney were 170.5, 112.8, 98.4, 152.3, 381.7 ng·g-1) in tissues by comparing with L-prunasin (its concentrations in heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney were 906.4, 652.3, 177.4, 500.9, 2 060.4 ng·g-1). Conclusion: The method is successfully applied to tissue distribution study in rats after intragastric administration of Ephedrae Herba-Amygdalus Communis Vas extract. Reduction of D-prunasin in tissues may be the reason of toxicity antagonism in vivo. High concentration of alkaloids in Ephedrae Herba, amygdalin and prunasin are found in lung, which may be correlated with its synergistic anti-asthmatic effects.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect of baicalin on Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/threonine protein kinase/nuclear factor-κB (PI3K/Akt/NF-κB) signaling pathways in cell inflammation models of human colon carcinoma epithelial cell line (HT-29). Method: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were used to induce HT-29 cells and establish cells inflammation models. This experiment was divided into six groups: complete medium was used in the blank control group, without any drug intervention during experiment, the cells in model control group were incubated with hTNF(20 μg·L-1) for 12 h, then incubated with LPS (1 mg·L-1) for 15 h, the cells in positive medicine group were also incubated with salazosulfapyridine (SASP, 500 μmol·L-1) for 24 h on the basis of the processing method in model group, cells in baicalin groups were incubated with different doses (1, 10, 100 μg·L-1) of baicalin for 24 h on the basis of the processing method in model group. MTT assay was used to detect the effect of baicalin (1, 10, 100 μg·L-1) on cell growth, Western blot was used to measure the effect of baicalin (1, 10, 100 μg·L-1) on protein expression levels of PI3K, Akt and NF-κB, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the effect of baicalin (1, 10, 100 μg·L-1) on TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-6 levels in cell supernatant. Result: As compared with the model group, the secretion levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1 in the cell supernatant were reduced in baicalin (1, 10, 100 μg·L-1) groups and SASP (500 μmol·L-1)group (P<0.05), and the combined application of these two medicines reduced more secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1 levels in the cell supernatant (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the PI3K protein phosphorylation levels, phosphorylated Akt levels and the activated NF-κB levels were reduced in baicalin groups (1, 10, 100 μg·L-1), and SASP (500 μmol·L-1) group (P<0.05). As compared with the model group, the cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), β-catenin, Caspase-9 and FasL protein expression levels were reduced in baicalin (1, 10, 100 μg·L-1)groups and SASP (500 μmol·L-1) group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Baicalin can reduce HT-29 cell inflammation, inhibit PI3K phosphorylation, down-regulate Akt activation, inhibit the activation of NF-κB, and thus inhibit the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6 and other inflammatory factors to play its anti-inflammatory effect. It suggested that baicalin may play its anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the activation of Akt and inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathways.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the anti-osteolytic metastasis effects of Zuogui Wan for breast cancer. Method: Balb/C Nu mice were used to establish in vivo experimental bone metastasis models by left ventricle injection of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. The mice in the experiment was divided into three groups: blank group, Zuogui Wan groups (21, 42 g·kg-1). The cytokeratin 19(CK19) in bone marrow were detected by nest PCR assay. The bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were in vitro isolated as osteoclast precurosors, and soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand(sRANKL) was exogenously added to simulate the activation of osteoclasts under tumor conditions, and then the effects of Zuogui Wan on activation of osteoclasts, Cathepsin K secretion levels and bone slices absorption were observed. Western blot assay was used to detect its effect on RANK expression levels in BMMs. Result: As compared with the blank group, Zuogui Wan(21, 42 g·kg-1) exhibited significant inhibition on human CK19 expression levels in bone marrow tissues of animals with breast cancer bone metastasis (P<0.01). In vitro serum pharmacological studies showed that Zuogui Wan significantly inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis in murine BMMs(P<0.05) and significantly inhibited the secretion of Cathepsin K in RANKL-induced osteoclasts (P<0.05). Bone slices experiment indicated that, the number and area of bone slices resorption pits in 10% Zuogui Wan group were significantly lower than those in normal group (P<0.05). Western blot assay indicated that medicated serum of Zuogui Wan could significantly inhibit the expression of RANK in RANKL-induced osteoclasts. Conclusion: Zuogui Wan have significant anti-osteolytic metastasis effects for breast cancer cells, and the mechanism may be associated with inhibiting RANKL/RANK activation.

摘要:Objective: To observe the effects of Huangqi San formula (HQS) drug containing serum on osteoblasts (Ob) functions and related genes of diabetic osteoporosis under the condition of high glucose, and discuss the therapeutic mechanism of HQS on diabetic osteoporosis. Method: Ten 5-week-old healthy clean grade Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normal diet group and medicine group. The drug containing serum of HQS and control serum were prepared by serum pharmacology means, four neonatal healthy clean grade SD rats were used for primary culture of Obs. The cells were isolated by enzyme digestion and induced from skull bone of these SD neonatal rats. Cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay was used to detect the effect of drug containing serum (four different concentrations: 5%, 10%, 20% and 30%) on cell proliferation under high glucose condition (25.5 mmol·L-1). The serum concentration which was optimal for cells proliferation was then selected. Real-time PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the effects of HQS drug containing serum on the expression levels of osteogenic genes osteopontin (OPN), osteocalcin(OC), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), pancrease-bone related gene osteoprotegrin (OPG), and Fork transcription factor 1 (FoxO1). Result: In cell proliferation experiments, 10% and 30% serum concentration groups had significant higher results as compared with their blank serum groups (P<0.05), and 20% serum concentration group also had significant higher results (P<0.01). In the Real-time PCR results, 5% serum concentration group could significantly down-regulate OPN and OPG mRNA expression levels as compared with the blank control group (P<0.05). 10% serum concentration groups could significantly up-regulate OC and ALP mRNA expression levels (P<0.05), and also significantly increase OPN mRNA expression (P<0.01), but significantly down-regulate the OPG and FoxO1 mRNA expression levels as compared with the blank serum groups (P<0.01). Under 20% serum concentration, the differences were identical with those under 10% serum concentration, especially the differences in OPN, OPG and FoxO1 mRNA expression levels were more significant under 20% serum concentration. 20% serum concentration group could significantly up-regulate OC and OPN protein expression levels as compared with the blank control serum group (P<0.01), while OPG protein expression was significantly down-regulated (P<0.01). Conclusion: The therapeutic mechanism of HQS may be related to its proliferation effects on osteoblasts under high glucose condition and its regulatory effects on the expression levels of OPG and FoxO1.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate whether hederagenin (HG) could inhibit the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway. Method: MTT was used to determine the proliferation of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-induced colorectal cancer cells SW480 with different doses of HG treating for 24 h. Transwell assay was used to determine the inhibitory effects of HG on cell invasion in SW480 cells. Western blot and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) assay were used to observe the expressions of EMT markers such as E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, and invasion and metastasis markers such as signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-3, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motif (RECK) and MMP-14. Result: Here we found that HG inhibited the proliferation of SW480 cells which induced by TGF-β1, influenced EMT and reduced the invasion ability. Furthermore, HG reduced the expressions of EMT markers including N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail and invasion and metastasis markers including STAT-3, MMP-9, MMP-14, enhanced the expressions of E-cadherin and RECK (P<0.05). Conclusion: HG inhibited the invasion and metastasis of SW480 cells by influencing EMT pathway.

摘要:Objective: To study the effects of Shenqi Fuzheng injection on proliferation and apoptosis of basal-like type human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells, and investigate the treatment mechanism of Shenqi Fuzheng injection for triple negative breast cancer. Method: The human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells cultured in vitro were divided into Fuzheng injection groups (six groups with different concentrations of Shenqi Fuzheng injection) and blank group. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to detect the effect of Shenqi Fuzheng injection on proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells at 24, 48 and 74 h. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells. Real-time PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the effect of Shenqi Fuzheng injection on p53 up-regulated modulators of apoptosis (PUMA) in MDA-MB-231 cells. Result: Shenqi Fuzheng injection could inhibit the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and the inhibitory effect was most obvious at 48 h in vitro culture. Shenqi Fuzheng injection blocked cell cycle at S phase of the MDA-MB-231 cells, and thus induced apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells. Real-time PCR and Western blot assay showed that Shenqi Fuzheng injection could up-regulate PUMA expression of MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusion: Shenqi Fuzheng injection can significantly inhibit proliferation and block cell cycle at S phase of the MDA-MB-231 cells, thus induce apoptosis of the cells, and the mechanism may be associated with up-regulating PUMA mRNA expression.

The total effective rate was 92.73% in treatment group, higher than 76.36% in control group (P<0.05). Standard deviation of diastolic blood pressure in 24 h (24 hDSD), standard deviation of daytime diastolic blood pressure (dDSD), standard deviation of daytime systolic blood pressure (dSSD), and standard deviation of nighttime diastolic blood pressure (nDSD) in treatment group were significantly lower than those of control group after treatment (P<0.01). After treatment, the level of Hcy in serum of treatment group was significantly lower than that of control group, while 25 (OH) D level was significantly higher than that of control group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion: Tongnao Huoxin decoction based on western medicine could significantly improve blood viscosity, blood pressure variability and raise clinical effects in treatment of primary hypertension with syndrome of internal blockade of static blood, and the mechanism may be associated with reducing the level of Hcy in serum and elevating 25 (OH) D level.

摘要:Objective: To discuss the clinical efficacy of Fufang Changpu Yizhi decoction for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) with phlegm turbidity and stasis syndrome after stroke and investigate its effects on oxidative damage, blood lipid and cerebral blood flow. Method: One hundred and ninety-two eligible patients were randomly divided into control group (96 cases) and observation group (96 cases) by random number table. Patients in the control group received nimodipine tablets by orally taking, 30 mg/time, 1 time/day, patients in the observation group took Fufang Changpu Yizhi decoction orally, 1 dose/day. The treatment course was 12 weeks for both groups. Before and after treatment, cognitive function was evaluated by mini mental state examination (MMSE) and montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) scales. Scores of phlegm turbidity and stasis, as well as damage of brain collateral by toxin were graded; levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), homocysteine (Hcy), hemorheology indexes and blood lipid levels were detected. The mean blood flow rates of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were measured once respectively before and after treatment. Result: The total effective rate of cognitive function was 79.17% in observation group, higher than 56.25% in control group (P<0.05). After treatment, scores of MoCA and MMSE in observation group were higher than those in control group, and scores of phlegm turbidity and stasis and damage of brain collateral were lower than those in control group (P<0.01). The levels of total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterin(LDL-C) in the observation group were lower than those in control group after treatment (P<0.05), while the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterin(HDL-C) was lower than that in control group (P<0.05). Hemorheological indexes of whole blood viscosity (high shear and low shear), plasma viscosity, fibrinogen and platelet aggregation rate in the observation group were lower than those in control group after treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01). Levels of Hcy and MDA in the observation group were lower than those in control group after treatment, while the level of SOD was higher than that in control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Mean blood flow rates of ACA and MCA in treatment were higher than those in control group after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion: Fufang Changpu Yizhi decoction has better effect than nimodipine tablets in improving the cognitive function of patients after stroke and ameliorating clinical symptoms, in addition, it can improve functions of vascular endothelium and blood circulation, regulate lipid metabolism, and promote cerebral hemodynamics.

摘要:Objective: To assess the efficacy and safety of Shenfu injection in preventing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity in cancer patients. Method: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) for Shenfu injection in preventing CIPN efficacy were searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Libraries, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP database since the date of establishment to June 2015. Statistical analysis was performed with RevMan5.3. Result: Nine RCTs involving 1 047 patients were included. According to the results of Meta-analysis. ① The Shenfu group was more effective than the control group with a decreased overall incidence of CIPN [RR=0.53, 95%CI(0.36, 0.77), P=0.000 8]and incidence of severe CIPN [RR=0.48, 95%CI(0.31, 0.74), P=0.000 8]. ② There were no statistical significance in objective response rate between the two groups. The results of subgroup analysis showed that ① The Shenfu group was more effective than the control group with a decreased overall incidence of peripheral neurotoxicity [RR=0.59, 95%CI(0.43, 0.82), P=0.001]and incidence of severe peripheral neurotoxicity induced by oxaliplatin [RR=0.45, 95%CI(0.26, 0.78), P=0.005]. ② Shenfu injection had no effect on CIPN induced by other chemotherapy regimens (excluding oxaliplatin). Conclusion: Shenfu injection shows a significant advantage in preventing oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (OIPN).  
摘要:Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tanreqing injection in treatment of respiratory infections in children. Method: Randomized controlled trials for Tanreqing injection in treatment of respiratory tract infections in children from 2005 to 2015 were searched in VIP, CBM, Wanfang Data, CNKI and Pubmed. In accordance with the inclusion/exclusion standards, efforts were made to select literatures, evaluate the quality of included studies, extract data, and then conduct Meta-analysis by using Revmen 5.3 software. Result: Totally 12 randomized controlled trials were included in the systematic evaluation, all of which were low-quality study with Jadad score of less than 3. The meta results showed that compared with the control group, Tanreqing injection in treatment of children's upper respiratory tract infection can improve clinical total efficiency [OR=6.42, 95% CI (4.32, 9.53), P<0.000 01], shorten the duration of fever [MD=-1.93, 95% CI (-3.22, -0.65), P=0.003], relieve children's throat congestion [OR=12.79, 95% CI (5.23, 31.31), P<0.000 01]and swollen tonsils [OR=2.98, 95% CI (1.43, 6.23), P=0.004], with statistically significant differences; but in terms of shortening the cough length [MD=-1.47, 95% CI (-2.93, -0.01), P=0.05], there was no statistically significant difference from the control group. Conclusion: Tanreqing injection in treatment of respiratory tract infections in children has a better clinical efficacy and high safety. However, the existing studies have a low evidence level, so more large-sample, high-quality, multi-center randomized controlled trials shall be conducted for further verification.

摘要:It has been a long-term, arduous task for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to study the "efficacy-enhancing and toxicity-reducing" effect of Chinese herbal medicines. However, they mostly focused on the traditional Chinese herbs with a higher toxicity, such as Tripterygium wilfordii, Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata, Aconiti Radix and Aconiti Kusnezoffii, but paid less attention to commonly used herbs with less toxic and side effects. Polygala Radix is commonly used as a nootropic medicine in the clinic, and one of hot herbs in anti-aging and intelligence-reinforcing experiments at present. Polygala Radix has an obvious gastrointestinal side effect, and contains tenuigenin that has an anti-aging and intelligence-reinforcing effect but toxicity. By summarizing the recent advance in studies on common combinations of Polygala Radix, including Polygala Radix-Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, Polygala Radix-Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, Polygala Radix-Mel, Polygala Radix-Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, Polygala Radix-Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Polygala Radix-Poria (Fushen), Polygala Radix-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Polygala Radix-Bistortae Rhizoma, researchers found almost no experimental study combing the intelligence-reinforcing and toxicity-reducing effects. Considering the effectiveness and safety, based on the compatibility, they studied Polygala Radix's "toxicity-reducing and efficacy-enhancing" effects in the expectation of obtaining valuable evidence from laboratory, which is of great significance to guiding clinical medication of Polygala Radix and developing new drugs.

摘要:In clinical, allergic rhinitis and asthma often exist simultaneously. The World Allergy Organization (WAO) has formally proposed the new medical diagnostic term combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome(CARAS), which is considered as a whole to treat the upper and lower respiratory tract diseases for combined diagnosis and combined treatment. CARAS is mainly manifested with simultaneous occurrences of clinical or sub clinical symptoms of chronic inflammation in the upper and lower respiratory tract and highly reactive symptoms, including nasal itching, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, cough and wheezing. These symptoms can suddenly attack, but also can relieve spontaneously or quickly disappear after treatment. There is no corresponding name of CARAS in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Allergic rhinitis and asthma can be respectively classified into the category of "sniveling nose" and "asthma syndrome" in TCM. In recent years, the TCM research on CARAS has gradually increased, but it is still in the initial stage and has not yet formed a complete syndrome differentiation and treatment system. This paper has summarized the research status of adult CARAS in western medicine and reviewed the research progress of TCM treatment from the pathogenesis, syndrome distribution, clinical treatment, and TCM mechanism of action, indicating that rich experience has been accumulated in TCM treatment, with certain advantages in clinical efficacy, but there is still a lack of systemic research on CARAS. The paper has also put forward the problems of TCM treatment in the syndrome research, clinical research and basic research, which would provide new research ideas for the TCM treatment of adult CARAS.
