The mRNA expressions of Bcl-2, Bad, Caspases-3 and Caspases-9 were detected by RT-PCR;protein levels of PI3K, Akt and p-Akt were detected by western blot, respectively. Result: Compared with the blank group, the model group showed significant increase in GC apoptosis rate and Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP). Besides, the mRNA expressions of Bad, Caspases-3, Caspases-9 were significantly higher in model group than those in control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, Bcl-2 mRNA expression, PI3K and p-Akt were significantly lower in model group (P<0.05). In middle and high dose groups, calcium concentration, the mRNA expression of Bcl-2, Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 were down-regulated significantly (P<0.05), while the mitochondrial membrane potential, Bcl-2 mRNA expression, and the protein levels of PI3K and p-Akt were up-regulated significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion: Yiqi Yangyin formula can inhibit GC apoptosis induced by cDDP by activating PI3K/Akt signal pathway, up-regulating anti-apoptosis factors (Bcl-2), down-regulating expressions of pro-apoptosis factors (Bad and caspases family), stabilizing the mitochondrial membrane potential and reducing calcium influx.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the effects of Huoxue Jiangzhi Baogan decoction (HJBD) on the mRNA and protein expression levels of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) in liver tissues of rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and explore its possible mechanisms of prevention and treatment for NAFLD. Method: Totally 60 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal group, model group, HJBD high dose group, mid dose group, and low dose group(6.84,13.68,27.36 g·kg-1), as well as Qianggan tablets group(0.067 g·kg-1). All other groups except the normal group were given with high-fat diet for 8 weeks, and then the rats were either treated with low, middle or high doses of HJBD and Qianggan tablets through gastric gavage for 10 weeks. Fast serum samples were obtained for lipid profile. Liver histopathogy was performed on HE slides, and the expressions levels of MTP mRNA and protein in liver tissues were assayed by Real-time PCR. Result: Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR results showed that, compared with the normal group, MTP expression was decreased in model group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of MTP were increased in various dose groups of HJBD and Qianggan tablets group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.01, P<0.05), especially in high dose group. Blood lipids metabolic disorder and liver steatosis were also improved to varying degrees in the treatment groups as compared with the model group. Conclusion: HJBD has a good therapeutic effect for NAFLD rats induced by high-fat diet, and we speculate that MTP mRNA may be its effective targets.

At the end of 12 weeks, expressions of TGF-β1 and ColⅠin modeling groups were higher than those in normal group (P<0.01), but were significantly decreased in FJD group and benazepril group (P<0.01). Level of HGF protein expression in model group was lower than that in normal group (P<0.01), but was increased in FJD group and benazepril group (P<0.01). Conclusion: FJD can protect renal interstitial fibrosis by inhibiting TGF-β1and ColⅠprotein expressions and increasing HGF protein expression.  
摘要:Objective: To study the impact of Xuanfei Pingchuan formula on airway inflammation and Th17/Treg cells in the asthmatic mice induced by ovalbumin (OVA). Method: The 55 female Balb/C mice at the age of 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into normal group, model group, prednisone group (7.5 mg·kg-1·d-1), low and high dose Xuanfei Pingchuan formula groups (16.72, 66.88 g·kg-1·d-1), with 11 mice in each group. Asthmatic mice models were established by OVA with intra-abdominal injection and inhalation, while the mice in normal group received injection and airway atomization of normal saline (NS). Mice in each treatment group were administered with corresponding drugs by gavage after provocation test, and the normal group and model group received normal saline. After treatment for 15 days, all the mice were put into death after the last administration. The lung tissues of mice were observed by pathological section and HE staining. The level of serum interleukin-4(IL-4), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA). The proportion of Th17 cells and Treg cells in the blood were detected by flow cytometry (FC). Result: Compared with the model group, injury of lung tissues was alleviated in various treatment groups, and the levels of IL-4, TNF-α were decreased (P<0.05), the level of TGF-β was increased (P<0.05), the level of Th17 cells was decreased while the level of Treg cells was increased. There was no statistically significant difference in levels of IL-4, TNF-α and TGF-β between prednisone group and Xuanfei Pingchuan formula low and high dose groups. However, Xuanfei Pingchuan formula low and high dose groups had better effect in decreasing Th17 cells proportion and increasing Treg cells proportion. Conclusion: Xuanfei Pingchuan formula has certain protective effect for the mucosa damage of lung tissues in asthmatic mice. Its mechanism may be related to down-regulating Th17 cells level, up-regulating Treg cells level, and restoring the balance of Th17/Treg cells, thus decreasing the levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-4, TNF-α and increasing anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-β.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the mechanism of Zaizao Wan Sailong bone replacement of leopard bone against cerebral ischemia, and provide experimental pharmacology data for replacement rationality. Method: The decapitation ischemia experiment and bilateral carotid artery ligation were used to establish mice models and observe the effect of Sailong bone Zaizao Wan (hereinafter referred to as Sailong bone Zaizao Wan) on acute cerebral ischemia in mice. Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) cerebral ischemic models were induced by using suture-occluded method. The effect of Sailong bone Zaizao Wan on infract area, neurological scores, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide (NO) levels in serum were observed. 'Collagen-Adr' was used to induce thrombosis mice models and observe hemiplegia formation rate and mortality. Acute blood stasis rat models were used to observe hemorheology and platelet aggregation rate, and evaluate the effect of Sailong bone Zaizao Wan on activating blood circulation and dissipating blood stasis. Result: Sailong bone Zaizao Wan can increase breathing time and frequency of mice with acute cerebral ischemia after decollation, with no significant difference with Zaizao Wan group;and can significantly prolong the survival time of bilateral carotid artery ligation in mice with acute cerebral ischemia, with no significant difference with Zaizao Wan group. Sailong bone Zaizao Wan could significantly decrease the infarct size in MCAO rats, and 4, 24 hours after ischemia, neurological function scores were decreased. Various treatment groups could significantly reduce serum MDA level in model rats;low dose group could improve serum SOD activity in MCAO model rats;various dose groups could significantly increase serum NO level in rats and the effect was better than Zaizao Wan group. Sailong bone Zaizao Wan could reduce the mortality within 5 min induced by tail intravenous injection of "collagen-Adr" thrombus formation, and increase the hemiplegia recovery rate within 15 min. It could decrease the whole blood flow shear rate and reduce ADP-induced platelet aggregation rate in blood stasis model rats. Conclusion: Sailong bone Zaizao Wan has protective effect on cerebral ischemia and its mechanisms may be related to its antioxidant capacity and improvement of hemorrheology.

摘要:Objective: To discuss the protection effect of Xinmailong injection in treating breast cancer patients with myocardial damage caused by sequential chemotherapy of trastuzumab and anthracyclines and investigate its effect on serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α). Method: Sixty breast cancer patients in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (30 cases) and treatment group (30 cases) with reference to digital table method. Patients of control group were treated with sequential chemotherapy of trastuzumab (after the periods of anthracyclines with first-dose of 8 mg·kg-1 and 6 mg·kg-1 hereafter) and anthracyclines (pirarubicin, 60 mg·m-2 and pharmorubicin, 60 mg·m-2), 1 course/3 weeks, 1 time/course, 6 courses in total. Patients of treatment group were also given with Xinmailong injection based on the treatment of control group from one day before chemotherapy to one week after chemotherapy (2 injections/time, 7times/course). The symptomatic scores of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), serum troponinI(cTnI) and heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) in two groups were compared. Changes of hemorheology, serum IL-6 and TNF-α were detected before and after treatment in two groups. Result: The symptomatic scores of TCM, serum levels of cTnI and H-FABP in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group at the ending of chemotherapy and 1 week after chemotherapy (P<0.01). Blood viscosities of high shearrate, middle shearrate and low shearrate, plasma viscosity, serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group at the ending of chemotherapy and 1 week after chemotherapy, with statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion: Xinmailong injection could effectively improve the clinical symptoms and myocardial damages in treating breast cancer patients with myocardial damage caused by sequential chemotherapy of trastuzumab and anthracyclines.

摘要:Objective: To observe the effect of Xuanfu Daizhe Tang combined with point-injection on chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Method: Totally 72 patients with chemotherapy for malignant tumors were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. The patients in control group were intravenously injected with ondansetron hydrochloride injection (8 mg/time, bid). Patients in treatment group also received Xuanfu Daizhe Tang by orally taking on the basis of treatment in control group, 1 dose/d and point-injection with Huangqi injection (4 mL/time, bid). The effective control rate for vomiting, appetite, Karnofsky(KPS) score changes, body weight changes, blood indicator changes and adverse event incidence were observed and compared. Result: The effective control rate for vomiting was 72.2% and 83.3% in acute phase respectively for the control group and treatment group;while in the delayed phase, the effective control rate for vomiting was 61.1% and 75.0% respectively;the effective control rates in treatment group were higher than those in control group in both phases, with statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). The increases in appetite and KPS scores in the treatment group were also higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). After chemotherapy, the body weight changes in treatment group were lower than those in control group, with statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). After chemotherapy, leukocytes, platelet levels and hemoglobin concentration in the treatment group were higher than those in control group, with statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the treatment group was all lower than that in the control group, with statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Xuanfu Daizhe Tang combined with point-injection of Huangqi injection has clear curative effect in the treatment of CINV.

摘要:Objective: To explore the medication regularity of Chinese medicine in treating enuresis in children based on modern literature. Method: We searched the clinical research literature from China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI, 1990—2014) about enuresis in children treated by Chinese medicine or integrated Chinese and western medicine, and built a literature database about the Chinese medicine for treating enuresis in children. Then a statistical analysis was carried out to study the Chinese herbs about their usage frequency, classification of effect, nature, flavor and channel tropism. Result: The 112 articles in total were included in this study, involving 95 kinds of Chinese herbs, 1 050 times for usage frequency. The used Chinese herbs mainly included astringent drug, Yang tonifying drug and Qi tonifying drug, with cumulative usage frequency of 62.2%. The main nature of these herbs was warm, calm and lukewarm, with cumulative frequency of 90.7%, and the cumulative frequency of warm and hot herbs was 55.9% totally. The main flavors of the herbs were sweet, pungent, sour and astringent, with cumulative frequency of 79.4%. The main channel tropism of the herbs included kidney and spleen, with cumulative frequency of 45.8%. Conclusion: This study indicates that children with enuresis should be treated from the aspect of deficiency-cold syndrome by Chinese medicine;the specific therapeutic methods mainly contain warming kidney, strengthening spleen, and inducing astringency to arrest urination. For medicine, we should mainly choose the warm or hot herbs in nature, of which the flavor is sweet, pungent, sour or astringent and the channel tropism includes kidney or spleen.

摘要:Objective: To compare the chemotherapy combined with Sijunzi Tang and chemotherapy alone in clinical efficacy, quality of life, and side effects in treatment of colorectal cancer. Method: We searched for the literature of randomized controlled trials, published before October 2015 in both Chinese and English, comparing the chemotherapy combined with Sijunzi Tang and chemotherapy alone in clinical efficacy, quality of life, and side effects in treatment of colorectal cancer. Software Review Manager 5.3 was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature and conduct statistics work. Result: After strict screening, the 8 literature of randomized controlled trials were selected finally, involving 483 patients,the 245 cases with chemotherapy combined with Sijunzi Tang and 238 cases with chemotherapy alone. Results of Meta-analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between two group in the quality of life and side effects (P<0.000 01). There was no significant difference in clinical efficacy (P=0.19). Conclusion: Sijunzi Tang can not only decrease the incidence of side effects of chemotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer, but also improve the quality of life for the patients.

摘要:Ophiocordyceps sinensis (CS) has been used medicinally for at least 500 years. O. sinensis polysaccharides (CSP), as one of the major bioactive constituents of CS, have exhibited extensive therapeutic effect. Analysis shows that CSPs contain complex compositions, so the isolation, purification, analysis and identification of individual compositions are significant for research on complex pharmacological mechanism of CSP and CS. In recent years, many studies on CSPs, especially the isolation and pharmacological mechanism research of individual compositions have been carried out, indicating that CSPs have varied pharmacological effects such as immune-modulatory, anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, anti-hyperglycemia and anti-hyperlipidemia, with broad appli-cation prospects. The current progress on pharmacological research and future prospects are reviewed in this paper.  
摘要:Objective: To introduce the research progress on toxicology of alkaloids in Sophorae Tonkinensis Radix et Rhizoma(STRR). Method: The studies on toxicity of STRR were summarized, analyzed and reviewed from clinical manifestations, laboratory studies and toxicity mechanism by accessing relevant information and references. Result: STRR has neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, cardiovascular toxicity, and can induce gastrointestinal side effects and allergic reaction. The toxicity was focused on gastrointestinal side effects and hepatotoxicity. However, neurotoxicity was most significant. Conclusion: Alkaloids of STRR are the material basis for toxic reaction. Both matrine and oxymatrine are the major toxic components of STRR. Overdose is a major cause of poisoning and the mechanism of toxicity is primarily related to the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity and oxidative stress as well as inflammatory injury.
