摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect of polysaccharide extract obtained from the Cestrum nocturnum(PCN)on the apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63 as well as it possible mechanism. Method: PCN was separated, and MG-63 cells in logarithmic phase were processed using PCN with the final concentration of 2.5, 5, 10 mg·L-1. Blank group was established with MG-63 cells. After 72 h of PCN (different mass concentration) action, MTT assay was used to determine the inhibition of cell proliferation. After 46 h of PCN (different mass concentration) action, transmission electron microscope was used to observe the morphological changes of processed cells. Its effect on apoptosis of MG-63 cells was detected by flow cytometry, and the protein expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9 and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blot. Result: PCN significantly inhibited the proliferation of MG-63 cells in a time and dose-dependent manner. It could significantly inhibit cells proliferation within the concentration range of 5-10 mg·L-1. Under electron microscopy, it could be found that PCN can induce cell apoptosis, with a large number of vacuoles in cytoplasm, and chromatin pyknosis was present for cell nucleus, and villus on cell nucleus surface was reduced. Flow cytometry indicated that 5 mg·L-1 can make MG-63 cells blocked in G0/G1. PCN induced apoptosis of MG-63 cells in a dose dependent manner, reduced Bcl-2 expression and increased Caspase-8 expression in a concentration dependent manner (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: PCN could effectively inhibit cell proliferation and induce MG-63 cells apoptosis, with a direct relation to the dose and time. This process may be associated with down-regulating protein expressions of Bcl-2 and activating the expressions of Caspases-8.

摘要:Objective: To explore the prescription rules of modern Chinese medicine for external use in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis by collecting the prescriptions in literature on external herbal medicines for ankylosing spondylitise, so as to provide reference for clinical medication. Method: Through the search of Chinese Academic Journal(CNKI) and Wanfang academic periodical full-text database from January 2004 to 2015 March, to collect, reorganize, summarize and the analyze the domestic clinical literature on relevant external application of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) for treating ankylosing spondylitis, and explore the prescription rules of modern clinical Chinese medicine for external use in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis by frequency analysis method. Result: In a total of 62 effective references, external Chinese medicine treatment for ankylosing spondylitis was mainly from the functions of expelling wind and removing dampness, activating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis, dispelling cold and relieving pain, as well as nourishing the liver and kidney. The herbal properties of TCM were mainly warm and flat, flavor was mainly pungent and bitter, the meridian was mainly for liver, spleen and kidney. Conclusion: External TCM treatment has significant advantages on local efficacy and broad prospects for development compared with internal treatment. Though preliminary exploration on prescription rules of external Chinese medicine treatment for ankylosing spondylitis, we are expecting to find a more effective treatment method for ankylosing spondylitis and provide reference for clinical medicine.

摘要:Objective: To systemically review the effect of ginkgo biloba extract (GbE) on microalbuminuria and renal function in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Method: Literature were retrieved from PubMed, CNKI, VIP, CBM and Wanfang database to select the randomized controlled trials (RCT) where conventional treatment was as the control group, and GbE was also used on the basis of conventional treatment as the experimental group to study its effect on microalbuminuria and renal function in patients with diabetic nephropathy. RevMan 5.2 software was used for Meta analysis after 2 researchers selected the literature according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data and evaluated the methodological quality in the study. Result: 16 RCTs were included, involving 1 212 patients. Meta-analysis showed that compared with control group, experimental group can significantly decrease urine albumin excretion rate (UAER)[SMD=1.00, 95%CI(0.70,1.30),P<0.01]and,24-hour urinary protein quantity[SMD=1.00, 95%CI (0.70, 1.30), P<0.01] and 24 h urine protein quantitation[SMD=1.00, 95%CI (0.70, 1.30), P<0.01], but can not significantly decrease serum creatinine (SCr)[SMD=0.11, 95%CI (-0.03, 0.26), P>0.05]. Conclusion: Ginkgo biloba extract can significantly reduce the microalbuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy, but has no significant improvement for renal function. Due to the restrictions of the quality of included studies, this conclusion needs to be further verified by large sample and high quality RCTs.  
摘要:Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiyanping combined with montmorillonite power in the treatment of infantile diarrhea. Method: literature were retrieved from Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane library, CNKI, CBM, Wanfang Data and VIP to select randomized clinical trials on Xiyanping combined with montmorillonite power for the treatment of infantile diarrhea. Rigorous quality evaluation and data extraction were done independently by two researchers, and treatment, RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis. Result: 17 RCTs were eventually included, with a total of 1841 cases of children. Meta-analysis showed that:Xiyanping combined with montmorillonite power in the treatment of infantile diarrhea was statistically significant when compared with the control group intotal efficiency, the time of diarrhoea stop and recovery time of abnormal stool (P<0.05),but there was no statistically significant difference in time of body fever relieving between the two groups. Conclusion: Xiyanping combined with montmorillonite power has a certain effect and high safety in the treatment of infantile diarrhea, but with the poor quality of the existing studies, we need to design more rigorous and high quality multicenter, randomizeed, double-blinded experiments for verification.  
摘要:Based on the data mining methods of association rules Apriori algorithm and complex system entropy clustering, 108 cream prescriptions for treating bronchial asthma by professor WU Yin-gen were collected and analyzed for the frequency of herbs usage and the association rules between herbs. 10 core combinations such as 'Xanthii Fructus-Rubiae Radix-Magnoliae Flos-Angelicae Dahuricae Radix' and 10 new prescriptions such as 'Arnebiae-Wartwort-Gigeriae Galli Endothelium Corneum-Belamcandae Rhizoma-Ramuli Euonymi-Polygonati Rhizoma' were extracted. Part of the prescription rules of the cream formula for bronchial asthma by professor WU Yin-gen were obtained, such as conditioning 'cold constitution' via tonifying spleen and kidney in different ways, taking seriously the related symptoms of allergic rhinitis and eczema, treating phlegm after distinguishing cold and heat,treating Qi movement via regulating mechanism of pivot,paying attention to dredging meridians and promoting blood circulation on asthma related with women' s menses and delivery.

摘要:Acute gouty arthritis (AGA) is a crystal joint disease caused by uric acid crystal deposition in the joints which was caused by purine metabolic disorder. By reviewing the literature reports in recent years on pharmacological effects and mechanism of natural products and their effective components against AGA, and focusing on the pathogenesis of urate crystal-induced acute gouty arthritis in animal models, we collected,summarized and analyzed the literature on targets and pharmacological action mechanism of natural products and their effective components against acute gouty arthritis. Studies have shown that the main effective components in natural products against acute gouty arthritisinclude flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, saponins, and coumarin, etc. They fight against the acute gouty arthritis through anti-inflammatory, analgesic and inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators as well as its related signaling pathways, antioxidant mechanism and multiple drug targets. Targets for the treatment of acute gouty arthritis are single in western medicine, with more serious side effects, thus not conducive to control the recurrence of acute gouty arthritis. Natural products in traditional Chinese medicines have a thousand years of history and experience in prevention and treatment of acute gouty arthritis. Compared with the western medicine, natural medicine has shown great potential and advantages of multiple targets and few side effects for the acute gouty arthritis. In recent years, more and more researchers use experimental pharmacology and molecular biology method to study the effect of natural products and their effective components against acute gouty arthritis, and have achieved gratifying results.  
摘要:Camellia nitidissima has attracted considerable attention as a rare and famous ornamental species characterized by yellow waxy petals in the genus Camellia of Theaceae. The flowers and leaves of C. nitidissima, a traditional herb in Chinese medicine, are commonly used for the treatment of faucitis, nephritis, hepatitis with jaundice, dysentery, diarrhea, hypertension, urinary tract infection and irregular menstruation. Studies have demonstrated that C. nitidissima mainly has flavonoid constituents, including quercetin,kaempferol and their glycoside Derivatives. In addition, C. nitidissima also has polyphenols, polysaccharides, saponins and volatile components. Both in vivo and in vitro pharmacological studies showed that C. nitidissima has anti-tumor, anti-oxidant, hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, anti-allergy, anti-skin aging,anti-bacterial, and other pharmacological effects. The present paper presents the research progress of chemical composition and pharmacological effects of C. nitidissima in recent years, and provide theoretical evidence for the full development and utilization of C. nitidissima resources.
