摘要:Objective: To study the hemolytic effects of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos in vitro and to evaluate their potential hemolysis risks. Method: Hemolysis of the rabbit red blood cells were determined by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy(UV-VIS) after adding the different concentrations of the compounds of saponins,the active fractions of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos,and the samples of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos,respectively.Then,the hemolysis rates curves can be obtained by plotting the hemolysis rates against the corresponding concentrations. Result: The hemolytic effects of loniceroside A,loniceroside B,macranthoidin A,dipsacoside B and asperosaponin Ⅵ can't be observed as the concentrations were ≤ 1.0 g·L-1.The hemolysis rate of macranthoidin B was increased with the increasing of the concentration.The hemolysis of macranthoidin B can't be observed as the concentration was less than 0.6 g·L-1.Then,the hemolysis rate was 11.7% as the concentration was 0.8 g·L-1 and the hemolysis rate was up to 50.4% as the concentration was 1.0 g·L-1.The hemolytic effects of the active fractions of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos were in the order of total saponins > total phenolics > total iridoids.The hemolysis of the total iridoids can't be observed as the concentration was between 0.1 g·L-1 and 1.2 g·L-1.There was no hemolysis for the total phenolics as its concentration was less than 1.0 g·L-1 .The hemolysis of the total saponins was observed as the concentration was 0.6 g·L-1.Then,it was increased rapidly with the increase of the concentration and the hemolysis rate was up to 55.3% as the concentration was 1.2 g·L-1.The hemolysis curves of the cultivated and wild samples of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos were similar with that of Lonicerae Flos.Their obvious hemolysis concentration was between 2.0 g·L-1 and 4.0 g·L-1. Conclusion: There are no significant differences between Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos concerning their hemolysis.All saponins compounds studied have no hemolysis or weak hemolytic effects. The total saponins of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos also have weak hemolytic effects with the concentration of 0.6 g·L-1, which is equal to 20 g·L-1 of crude drug. However, it is hard to reach such high concentration in the traditional Chinese medicine injections. Therefore, Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos contained the components of saponins could be applied to traditional Chinese medicine injections and the potential hemolysis risks are small on clinic.

摘要:Objective: To study the effects of extracts from Callicarpa nudiflora(ECN) leaves on platelet activation and to elucidate its mechanisms. Method: The 50 male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, Yunnan Baiyao group (0.930 g·kg-1), ECN low, medium and high dose groups (0.131, 0.263, 0.525 g·kg-1). All the rats were treated for 10 days. After treatment, the platelets of the rats in all groups were extracted, and microscale plate method was used to determine adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation rate; enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine thromboxane B2(TXB2) and 5-serotonin (5-HT) levels in platelet as well as cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) release level in platelet. Furthermore, the effect of ECN on phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases (p-PI3K) protein expression levels was determined by using Western blot assay. Result: ECN enhanced ADP-induced platelet aggregation significantly (P<0.05), and it could significantly promote TXB2 and 5-HT release (P<0.05). Furthermore, cAMP level in platelet was (3.074±0.538), (3.340±0.265) nmol·L-1respectively in ECN low dose group and high dose group, lower than (3.795±0.586) nmol·L-1 in blank group (P<0.05), and cAMP level in ECN medium dose group was (3.003±0.242) nmol·L-1, significantly lower than that in blank group (P<0.01). In Western blot assay, it was found that ECN could significantly increase p-PI3K kinase protein expression (P<0.01). Conclusion: Collectively, the data presented here demonstrated that ECN enhanced the development of platelet aggregation and amplification of platelet activation. These effects may be associated with its up-regulation on P2Y12 receptors.

Result: As compared with the blank group, IEC-6 cell proliferation was significantly decreased in both TNF-α group and model group (P<0.01); the protein expression levels of NLRP3 inflammasome and cytokine (IL-1β, IL-18) levels were all increased (P<0.01). After administration with BZYQ medicated serum, cell proliferation rate was increased significantly, and the NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β, IL-18 levels were decreased in IEC-6 cells (P<0.05, P<0.01) as compared with model group. Conclusion: BZYQ medicated serum has protective effect on intestinal epithelial cell injury by down-regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome protein expression and cytokine level in injury epithelial cell.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the protection effect of total flavonoids of Puerariae Lobatae Flos on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and explore its possible mechanism. Method: The 72 Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model group, positive drug control group (Danshen tablets, 240 mg·kg-1), total flavonoids of Puerariae Lobatae Flos low, medium and high dose groups (20, 40, 60 mg·kg-1). The drugs were given for 28 days as preventive administration. The rat models were established by clamping the artery for 30 min. After successful modeling, the areas of myocardial infarction were determined by triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining; the morphological changes of myocardial tissues were observed by htoxylin eosin(HE) staining; the levels of total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC), adenosine triphosphate(ATP), adenosine diphosphate(ADP), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), and creatine phosphokinase(CPK) were detected; the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6(IL-6) and IL-1β in myocardial tissues were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA); the levels of Bax, Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 were detected by ELISA. Result: As compared with model group, myocardial infarct size in the total flavonoids of Puerariae Lobatae Flos high dose and middle dose groups was significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01); the histopathological changes and cardiomyocytes apoptosis were improved in total flavonoids of Puerariae Lobatae Flos high dose and middle dose groups, and the effect was most obvious in high dose group; the levels of AST, CPK LDH ADP and ATP in serum, as well as TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β levels in myocardial tissues were decreased significantly in total flavonoids of Puerariae Lobatae Flos high and middle dose groups(P<0.05,P<0.01); total flavonoids of Puerariae Lobatae Flos high and middle dose groups up-regulated the Bcl-2 content in myocardial tissues of rats, and reduced the Bax and Caspase-3 content. Conclusion: Total flavonoids of Puerariae Lobatae Flos could effectively lower the areas of myocardial infarction, and improve the histopathological changes and cardiomyocytes apoptosis, suggesting that total flavonoids of Puerariae Lobatae Flos had protective effects on rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, which may be related to its effects on reducing the infiltration of inflammatory cytokines and decreasing the apoptosis of myocardial cells.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the effect of total saponins of Thladiantha dubia root(TSTR) on changes of interleukin-15(IL-15) and interleukin-34(IL-34) in the blood and knee synovial membrane in the treatment of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats, and explore the mechanism of TSTR in treating CIA rats. Method: The 80 male Wistar rats were selected, and ten of them were randomly taken as normal control group. The remaining rats were injected with the mixed emulsion of bovine type II collagen and complete Freund's adjuvant in multiple points on back and tail root. After 7 days, it was carried out with the same operation.Fourteen days after the first injection, those with arthritis index (AI value)≧4 points were identified as successful modeling. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, TSTR low, medium and high dose groups(20, 40, 80 mg·kg-1) and tripterygium glycoside(TG, 12 mg·kg-1) positive drug group. Rats in each group received corresponding drugs for 35 days by intragastric administration, 1 time/day. Then the paw swelling in rats was observed and AI values were evaluated; the morphological changes of synovium were observed with htoxylin eosin(HE) staining; the levels of IL-15 and IL-34 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA); Western blot and reverse transcriptase PCR(RT-PCR) were used respectively to measure the protein and mRNA expression levels of IL-15, IL-34 in synovium. Result: As compared with the normal group, AI value was increased in the model group (P<0.01); the number of inflammatory cells in synovial cells was increased, and the levels of IL-15 and IL-34 in serum and synovial tissues were significantly increased (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, AI value was significantly decreased in each dose TSTR groups and TG positive group(P<0.01), and the inflammatory cells number and vascular quantity in the synovial membrane were significantly decreased in TSTR low dose group and the positive drug group (P<0.05, P<0.01); the expression levels of IL-15 and IL-34 in the serum and the expression levels of IL-15 and IL-34 in the synovial membrane were significantly decreased in the low-dose TSTR group and the TG positive group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of TSTR on CIA rats may be related to the inhibition of IL-15 and IL-34 expression in blood and synovium.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of paeonol (Pae) combined with Notoginseng total saponins(NTS) on tumor necrosis factor tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin interleukin-1β(IL-1β) mRNA expression levels in myocardium tissues in rats with ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Method: Totally 80 male SD rats were selected, and 70 of them were randomly used to establish AMI rat models by ligaturing left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Alive and successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, Pae group (8 mg·kg-1), NTS group(40 mg·kg-1), Pae+NTS group low-dose group (Pae 4 mg·kg-1+NTS 20 mg·kg-1), high-dose group (Pae 8 mg·kg-1+NTS 40 mg·kg-1) and captopril positive control group (10 mg·kg-1) according to different interventions, and another 10 rats were used as sham operation group. The rats in various treatment groups received intraperitoneal injection of drugs for 28 days. Then the pathology changes of myocardial tissues were observed by htoxylin eosin(HE) staining; the protein expression levels of NF-κBp65 and p-IκB-α were detected by Western blot assay, and the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were detected by reverse transcriptase PCR(RT-PCR). Result: As compared with sham operation group, there were obvious myocardial pathological changes in model group, with significantly increased NF-κBp65 and p-IκB-α protein expression levels as well as TNF-α and IL-1β mRNA expression levels (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the myocardial pathological changes were improved to varying degrees in various treatment groups, with significantly decreased expressions of interest protein and interest mRNA (P<0.01). In addition, the improvement in combined drug use groups was superior to that in single substance drug group (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the effect in high dose combined drug use group was more significant than that in low dose combined drug use group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: The combination of Pae and NTS can play obvious synergistic action in improving ventricular remodeling in rats after myocardial infarction, and its mechanism may be associated with blocking the NF-κB/IκB pathway, down-regulating mRNA expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β, and attenuating the inflammatory reactions.

摘要:Objective: To study the effect of Buyin Yizhi decoction on learning and memory disorder induced by scopolamine, and investigate its possible mechanism through neurotransmitter and synaptic plasticity related proteins. Method: The learning and memory disorder models were established by intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine (3.0 mg·kg-1) in 50 male Kunming mice. Then these mice were randomly divided into normal blank group, model group and Buyin Yizhi decoction high dose group (18 g·kg-1), middle dose group (6 g·kg-1), and low dose group (2 g·kg-1). The treatment lasted for 2 weeks after modeling. Step-down test, Morris water maze test and novel object test were used to explore the the ability of learning and memory in mice. Meanwhile, the amino acid neurotransmitter levels in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of the mice were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The expression levels of Synembry(Syn), PSD-95 and brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) in hippocampus were determined by Western blot. Result: As compared with the normal blank group, the latency in step-down test and Morris water maze test was shortened significantly in model group (P<0.01); the electric shocks number was increased (P<0.01); and the exploration time of new object was shortened (P<0.01); at the same time, the contents of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was increased while the contents of glutamic acid (Glu) were reduced (P<0.01) in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex; and the expression levels of Syn, PSD-95 and BDNF protein were reduced in hippocampus. As compared to the model group, the latency was significantly prolonged in middle and high dose groups (P<0.05, P<0.01); the number of electric shocks in the high dose group was decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the exploration time of new objects was significantly prolonged (P<0.05); GABA content was significantly reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01), while Glu content and the expression levels of Syn, PSD-95 and BDNF protein were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: These findings suggest that Buyin Yizhi decoction could improve the learning and memory disorder induced by scopolamine and the underlying mechanism may be associated with the increased Glu/GABA ratio in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex and the higher expression levels of Syn and PSD-95 in hippocampus.

摘要:Objective: To observe the cardioprotective effect of Shenshao capsule and its effective components against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in rats and explore its action mechanism based on the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. Method: Male Wistar rats were used to establish MIRI models by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min and reperfusion for 120 min. Then these rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham), ischemia/reperfusion group (I/R), Shenshao capsule 250 mg·kg-1 group (SS250), Shenshao capsule 500 mg·kg-1 group (SS500), total ginsenoside of Ginseng stems and leaves group (TGSL), paeony group (Pae) and atorvastatin group (Ator). All of these rats received intragastric administration for 7 days. Then the myocardial infarction area was detected by triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) method; the levels of serum creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. The content of interleukin-1β(IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and IL-10 were determined with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); while Western-blot was used to detect the expression levels of NF-κBp65 and p-NF-κBp65. Result: As compared with I/R group, the myocardial infarction size was reduced in SS250, SS500, TGSL, Pae and Ator groups (P<0.05, P<0.01); CKMB and LDH levels were significantly decreased in SS250, SS500, TGSL and Ator groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The TNF-α level was decreased in SS250, SS500 and TGSL groups (P<0.05, P<0.01); the IL-1β level was decreased in SS250, SS500, Pae and Ator groups (P<0.05); the level of IL-10 was increased in SS250 and SS500 groups (P<0.05,P<0.01); and the p-NF-κBp65 protein expression level was decreased significantly in SS250 and SS500 groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: Shenshao capsule had cardioprotective effect for MIRI rats, and the mechanism may be associated with inhibiting the over activation of NF-κB expression pathway, and the effect of Shenshao capsule high dose group was superior to its single active ingredient.

摘要:Objective: To discuss the distribution of Chinese medical syndrome types of post menopause osteoporosis (PMOP) in different age, in order to provide reliable and objective basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Method: A total of 751 postmenopausal osteoporosis patients were selected into the study. Four-diagnostic information of the 751 patients, such as Chinese medicine symptoms, signs, tongue pictures and pulse conditions, was collected. χ2 squared inspection analysis was made for the age distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types, and K-means cluster analysis was made on patient information. Result: The age distribution was statistically different from distributions of PMOP basic TCM syndrome type of Yin deficiency and kidney deficiency syndrome (P<0.05). In terms of combination of TCM syndrome types, groups in different age had their own characteristics, the cluster analysis results showed that during the period of perimenopausal syndrome complex between 45 and 54 years old, with the growth of the age, the changes in syndrome types tended to be stable, and kidney and liver deficiencies were particularly prominent. Conclusion: With the growth of the age, the patients' personal circumstances are correlated with the bone mineral density. Most of PMOP patients had kidney deficiency and liver deficiency syndromes. In the aspect of combination of TCM syndrome types, TCM syndrome types in different age have their own characteristics.

摘要:Herbal nature is a core component of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and the theory of meridian tropism is an important part of the theory of TCM. The accuracy and pertinence of TCM can be improved by the medicine selection based on the meridian tropism. In order to find the association relationship and the distribution regularity of TCMs with different meridian tropism in the phylogenetic tree, and provide a basis for the interpretation and evaluation of TCM meridian tropism, 2 435 herbs and related 3 044 species of organisms were screened in this study. Association rules mining method and phylogenetic tree constructing method were used to analyze the association relationship and the distribution regularity of the TCMs with different meridian tropism in the phylogenetic tree. The results showed after the frequency of the species of organisms, it turns out several results. In the species of the viridiplantae,there are at most 1 151 species which are attributed to the liver meridian. In the species of the Streptophyta,there are at most 1 109 species which are attributed to the liver meridian. In the species of the Liliopsida,there are at most 110 species which are attributed to the lung meridian.In the process of association rule mining,we can find that the association rules for the same meridian tropism were distributed at the same branch or nearby branch of the tree. For example, Txues were related with kidney, while the Adoxaceae and Rubia have a close relationship with liver. Moreover, colorectal is related with Punica. These results implied that there is a close relationship between the herbal nature and the affinity relationship. TCMs may have the same meridian tropism with the species of the same or similar affinity. This study provided a new index and reference for prediction and evaluation of the nature, selection and compatibility, clinical application of new TCMs.

First, frequency analysis showed symptoms, drugs and syndromes with the frequency of more than 10. Second, factor and cluster analysis was made for frequently used symptoms and drugs. Finally, correlation analysis for frequently used drugs (deducting Erchentang group) and association rule analysis for frequent symptoms (deducting target symptoms of Erchentang) showed meaningful factor group, cluster group, and support and confidence-defined second-order, third-order, fourth-order, five-order correlation results. Result: Meaningful factor group and cluster group were group 9 and group 8, respectively. According to the minimum defined support and confidence, deducting the main formula, there were 10 dual combinations of frequently used drugs, 20 triple combinations and three quadruple combinations. There were 16 triple combinations of drugs for frequent symptoms deducting target symptoms of the main formula and main drugs, eight quadruple combinations and eight quintuple combinations. Conclusion: Erchentang's target symptom types are obstruction of lung by phlegm, dampness stagnancy due to spleen deficiency. Target symptoms are correlated to lung (cough, asthma, sputum), spleen and stomach (abdominal distension, anorexia, loose stools), heart (chest tightness, palpitation, dizziness, insomnia), systemic symptoms (fever, bad cold, body aches), tongue and pulse (pale tongue with whitish and greasy coating, slippery pulse). Commonly used herbs are Cttriexocarpium Rubrum, Pinelliae Rhizoma, Poria, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Commonly combined drugs herbs include Raphani Semen, Perillae Fructs,Sinapis Semen, Platycodonis Radix, Armeniacae Semen Amarum, and other expectorant, cough suppressant and anti-asthmatic drug, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and other Qi-activating drugs, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma and other Qi-invigorating and spleen-tonifying drugs, Zingiberis Rhizoma, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Ephedrae Herba and other warm-natured drugs. Frequently combined formulas include Sanzi Yangqintang, Liujunzi Tang, Maxing Shigan Tang. Erchentang is a basic phlegm-removing formula, and can be modified into Daotantang, Banxia Fuling Tang and Wenzhong Huatanwan.

摘要:Objective: To excavate prescription laws of Tibetan Medicine in treating edema based on Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Support System (TCMISS, V2.5). Method: Prescriptions of Tibetan Medicine for edema were entered into TCMISS to build a Tibetan medicine prescriptions database for treating edema. Software-integrated mutual information improvement method, complex system entropy cluster and unsupervised entropy hierarchical clustering method were adopted to determine the drug use frequency in prescription, commonly used drug pairs and combinations, and analyze Tibetan medicine prescription laws for treating edema. Result: Totally 135 Tibetan medicinal herbs for treating edema were screened out, Among them, Piperis Longi Fructus was the most frequently used, which was followed by Chebulae Fructus, Cartharni Flos, Phyllanthi Fmblicae Fructus and so on. Based on the association rules of a support degree ≥10% and a confidence level ≥0.9, 44 core combinations and 21 new prescriptions were evolved. Conclusion: TCMISS has important value on the study of Tibetan medicine prescription laws due to its functions of data entry, management, inquiry and analysis.

摘要:Lagotis medicinal plants of Tibetan medicine's resources are very abundant, with rich varieties, blood detoxification, heat menstruation effect, and are widely used in Tibetan medicine system. It is a common top grade herb in Tibetan medicines and is used as the main herb in multiple prescriptions. However, the present research reports on Lagotis medicinal plants are less, and the research is mainly concentrated in the pharmacological and chemical studies of L. alutacea, L. brachystachya, L. brevituba, L. ramalana, and L. yunnanensis, while other Lagotis species are rarely reported. Current research shows that Lagotis medicinal plants contain flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, phenylpropanoid glycosides, steroids, terpenoids and other chemical constituents. Modern pharmacological research shows that it has antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-tumor, liver damage resistance, anti-inflammatory, anti gout and other pharmacological activities. Lagotis medicinal plants have very broad prospects for application, but there is little research and development. The literature on chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Lagotis plant system in recent years was reviewed in this paper, hoping to provide scientific reference for their clinical reasonable application and further development.  
摘要:According to the study of ancient and modern literatures,the development and changes of processing methods and effect of Sophorae Flavescentis Radix were mastered.There were rich processing methods in ancient,such as processing with rice-washed water,roasted or stir-fried with wine and vinegar.While,washing and cutting were the main usages in modern.The medicinal parts and effect of Sophorae Flavescentis Radix are also different in modern and ancient.It reminds us that we should strengthen the excavation of the ancient literatures and carry out the study of the correlation between the material basis and its efficacy based on the ancient processing methods.This paper can provide new ideas for the study on processing principle and innovative drugs of Sophorae Flavescentis Radix.

摘要:Schisandrae is the dry fruit from Schisandra chinesis or S. sphenanthera. The former is called as Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus, and the latter is often called as Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus. Schisandrae was first contained in the Shennong Bencao Jing, with a history of over one thousand years as a traditional Chinese medicine in various prescriptions. The efficacy differences between Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus have been recognized by many physicians since Ming dynasty. From the 2000 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus have been introduced sepsrately, and their respective quality control standards have been established until continuous improvement in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The form and origin of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus were different, with different compositions and functions, but there was a serious phenomenon of mixing use of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus in clinical application. In order to distinguish Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus, and more reasonably, safely and effectively apply Schisandrae in modern clinical treatment, the recent studies on Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus were collected, retrieved, concluded and summarized in this paper, and the differences in variety identification, chemical components (components of volatile oil, total lignans content and polysaccharide efficacy of Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus were better than those in Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus), and pharmacological action (mainly including the effects of Schisandrae on central nervous system, digestive system, and cardiovascular system) were reviewed, hoping to provide a reference for the research, development and clinical application of Schisandrae, fundamentally distinguish Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus not only from the forms and achieve safer and more accurate clinical application.
