摘要:Objective: To provide basis for safe application of pesticide in Loincerae Japonicae Flos through a dietary risk assessment based on data from the field experiment of deltamethrin. Method: Field experiments were performed by simulating actual field productions to obtain deltamethrin residue data. A risk assessment was carried out based on the dietary exposure and the maximum residue limits. Result: Based on dietary exposure,acceptable adily intake(ADI) and actlte reference dose(ARfD) were much less than 100%, indicting no unacceptable dietary risk. Based on MRL, residue of deltamethrin is lower than MRL in all of tea drinks after pesticide application, and lower than MRL in domestic and foreign herbs and other foods after regular pesticide application, but higher than MRL in domestic and foreign herbs and other foods after irregular pesticide application. Conclusion: On the basis of the two risk assessments, there is no dietary risk in deltamethrin after regular pesticide application. However, in case of increase in pesticide dose and application frequency, the harvest intervals shall be prolonged to avoid risk. This study provides data support for safe application standards for deltamethrin in Loincerae Japonicae Flos and establishment of MRL standards.  
摘要:Objective: To fast and accurately identify ITS2 sequences of Bletillae Rhizoma and its counterfeits using DNA barcode technology. Method: The genomic DNA was extracted by plant genomic DNA extraction kit, and the ITS2 sequences of all collected samples were amplified and measured. The sequences were spliced by Codon Code Aligner and analyzed by MEGA7.0 software to calculate interspecies Kimura2-parameter (K2P) genetic distance. The neighbor-joining (NJ) system clustering tree was constructed by using the nearest distance method and ITS2 sequences, and the method was compared with the ITS2 sequences. Result: K2P genetic distance and NJ clustering tree only identified Bletillae Rhizoma from other species, but failed to distinguish Bletillae Rhizoma and the other three in the genus. The secondary structure of ITS2 could be used to further accurately identify Bletillae Rhizoma and other species. Conclusion: ITS2 sequences can be used as DNA bar code, and combined with the secondary structure of ITS2 sequence to effectively identify Bletillae Rhizoma and its counterfeits.

摘要:Objective: To explore the optimal extraction procedures of soluble components (water-soluble and liposoluble components) of Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum, and analyze their content variations by using Chinese deer antlers. Method: The optimal extraction method of the water-soluble components was obtained by comparing three different fragmentation methods (ultrasonic extraction method, bullet blender cell and tissue fragmentation method and Jingxin tissue and cell grind extraction method) coupled with gel filtration chromatography (GFC). The more suitable measurement method for liposoluble components was determined by comparing two pre-treatment methods (105 ℃ drying method and 24 h freeze-drying method) coupled with soxhlet extraction. Finally, an optimal extraction project was adopted to measure the soluble components between the tip and basal portions of sika deer two-branch antlers, sika deer three-branch antlers and wapiti antlers. Result: The highest extraction efficiency of water-soluble components in Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum was obtained when Bullet Blender cell and tissue fragmentation method was used and the parameter was set at third grade, 3 mins for 3 times. The extraction of liposoluble components was stable when 105 ℃ drying method was used, and the relative deviation was less than 5%. The contents of soluble components in the tip and basal portions of different kinds of antlers were 36.06% and 8.30% for sika deer two-branch antlers; 34.54% and 7.20% for sika deer three-branch antlers; 32.42% and 3.91% for wapiti antlers. Conclusion: We successfully determined the best extraction methods for water-soluble and liposoluble components in velvet antlers, and found that the soluble components of different kinds of deer antlers in the tip portions were significantly higher than those in the basal portions. The results showed a descending trend in sika deer two-branch antlers, sika deer three-branch antlers and wapiti antlers as well, but the differences were not significant.  
摘要:Objective: To analyze and evaluate the quality of agarwood from different areas. Method: The method in 2015 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia was used to determine the content of alcohol soluble extractives in samples. HPLC analysis was performed to determine agarotetrol on a Altima C18 (4.6 mm×150 mm, 5 μm), with acetonitrile (A)-0.1% formic acid solution (B) as the mobile phase for gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.7 mL·min-1; the detection wavelength was set at 252 nm; and the column temperature was 30 ℃. Then the quality classification of agarwood was discussed through the content of the alcohol soluble extractives and agarotetrol. Result: The sample volume showed good linear relationship with area under the peak curve within the range of 2.0-750.0 μg (r=0.999 6) for agarotetrol. The average recovery was 102.1%, and the RSD was 2.8%. The mass fraction of agarotetrol was 0.10%-6.60% in 52 kinds of agarwood, and the mass fraction of alcohol soluble extractives was 6.07%-57.06%. The alcohol soluble extractives had no correlation with aroma forming method and sources, but the content of agarotetrol had certain correlation with aroma forming method and sources. The average mass fraction of agarotetrol was 0.67% and 0.15% respectively in artificial and natural Aquilaria sinensis agarwood, with significant difference (P<0.01); natural A. malaccensis agarwood (2.57%) was different from natural A. crassna agarwood (0.70%) (P<0.05), with significant difference with natural A. sinensis agarwood (0.15%) (P<0.01).

摘要:Objective: To establish the content determination method of 11 heavy metals in Alstonia scholaris leaves, oleanolic, ursolic acid content determination methods and HPLC fingerprint, and explore the heavy metals content and overall quality of the A. scholaris leaves in order to provide the reference for the harvest of medicinal material. Method: All the samples were divided into two groups: S1-S12 were from different plantations, and S13-S22 were collected from different streets greening. ICP-MS was used to determinate the content of heavy metals, and HPLC fingerprint combined with similarity evaluation and principal component analysis was used to evaluate overall quality variation of two groups of samples. Result: Except Se and Hg in few samples, all the other metals were detected in which the content of Fe and Mn was higher and the content of As, Se, Pb was lower. Hg element was detected in street green samples with the average of 0.1 μg·g-1 but lower than the limit of detection in plantation samples. The content RSD of As and Se in plantation samples was more than 120%, and Cr and Ni content RSD was higher than 60%. Contents RSD of Cr,Mn, Fe, Ni, As and Se in road greening samples was higher than 70%, and such variation was bigger than that in the plantation samples. RSD of Cu, Se and Pb was equivalent in two groups. The contents of Pb, Cd, Hg, Cu and As in 22 samples were not beyond the standard according to the requirements in Foreign Trade and Economic Standards of Medicinal Plants and Preparations (WM/T2-2004). However, these toxic heavy metals in the road greening samples showed an increasing trend. 16 common peaks were marked in plantation samples and the fingerprint of street greening samples had marked 13 common peaks. Two groups of samples had significant differences in chromatographic peak number and absorbance. The similarity was higher in plantation samples, > 0.95 except for S1, S4 and S11; the similarity was lower in greening samples, only S18 >0.9, with discrete distribution between 0.557-0.895 for the remaining samples. 12 common peaks were marked in two groups, and the common peaks areas of plantation samples were larger, with RSD of common peaks areas less than that in greening ones. The results of PCA revealed that two group samples were separated in two parts. Conclusion: The results indicated that heavy metals contents and the content variation in the samples from street greening were increased as compared with the samples from plantations, and at the same time, their chemical compositions and contents were relatively lower. In order to ensure drugs safety and clinical efficacy, it is suggested that the A. scholaris leaves from road greening shall not be used as a source of Dai medicine.

摘要:Objective: To determine the inhibitory effect of norcantharidin (NCTD) on the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 72 cell lines of 12 major human cancers, in order to provide an index for growth inhibition effect. Method: The inhibitory effect of norcantharidin (NTCD) was determined by measuring and observing the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) for individual cell lines using an IncuCyteTM ZOOM-based proliferation assay. Briefly, cells of individual lines at defined densities were treated with norcantharidin at various concentration, and their relative growth rates were assessed by measuring the relative cell densities once every 3 hours for 72 hours. In addition, digital images were captured at each time point and recorded. Result: The IC50 of NCTD for the 72 cancer cell lines varied considerably, ranging from 2 to 66 μmol·L-1, with an overall median value of (24.63±12.97) μmol·L-1. Among the 12 cancer cell lines, the mean IC50 of NCTD for two liver cancers (hepatocellular carcinoma cholangiocarcinoma), gastric cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, central nervous system cancer, renal cancer were lower than the overall mean value. Also, significant differences among various cancer types and individuals with the same cancer were evident. Conclusion: There are remarkable differences in sensitivity towards NCTD among various cancer types and individuals with the same cancer, indicating the individualized sensitive nature of NTCD and the great future prospect for the development of individualized therapies with NTCD. Many cancers show a similar mean IC50 of NCTD with hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric cancers, for which NTCD is effective clinically, suggesting that NTCD could also be effective for all of these cancers.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect of cantharidin on proliferation, apoptosis and MAPK signaling in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Method: IncuCyteTM ZOOM-based proliferation assay and clonogenic assay were used to assess the inhibitory effect of cantharidin (CTD) on HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry was used to define the effect of CTD on apoptosis. Western blot was used to monitor the changes in Caspase-3, poly adeno-sine diphosphate ribose polymerase (PARP), extraeellular-signalregulatedki-nase (ERK1/2) and proteinkinase B (Akt) phosphorylation after CTD treatment. Finally, ERK1/2 inhibitor (PD98059), and Akt inhibitor (Wortmannin) were used to assess the potential effect of ERK1/2 and Akt on the inhibitory and/or pro-apoptotic effect of CTD. Result: CTD at 2.5 μmol·L-1 significantly inhibited the growth of HepG2, but did not significantly affect cell survival. However, CTD at 5 μmol·L-1 resulted in not only most a complete inhibitory effect on growth, but also a significant apoptosis rate (40.4%). Western blot result showed that 5 μmol·L-1 of CTD decreased pro Caspase-3 expression and increased cleaved PARP expression in HepG2.Besides, CTD promoted the phosphorylation of ERK, but not Akt. Conclusion: CTD exhibited a potent growth inhibitory (cytostatic) effect at 2.5 μmol·L-1, but could show a strong pro-apoptotic (cytotoxic) effect at 5 μmol·L-1 for HepG2 cells. Therefore, the study reveals a potent cytostatic effect of CTD and a certain cytotoxic potency, suggesting that the cytostatic effect is an important anticancer mechanism.  
摘要:Objective: To compare the toxicities and organ injuries of cantharidin and norcantharidin in mice. Method: Balb/c mice were treated with cantharidin or norcantharidin at different doses for two weeks to determine their median lethal dose (LD50) by the probability unit regression analysis method. Other mice were treated with 1/2 LD50 of the respective drugs for 2 weeks. At the end of the treatment, tissue samples from livers, intestines, kidneys and bladders were collected for pathological analyses. Result: LD50 of cantharidin and norcanditharidin were 2.045 and 20.966 mg·kg-1. Norcantharidin caused significant increases in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and rea nitrogen (BUN). Norcantharidin caused inflammatory cell infiltration and sponge-like change in liver, and injuries in glomeruli and renal tubules. Cantharidin led to increases in intestinal lymph nodes and lobulation in the intestine, vascular, bladder and mucosa inflammations. Conclusion: Treatments with 1/2 LD50 dose of norcantharidin and cantharidin led to distinct organ/tissue-specific injuries in mice. Norcantharidin caused severe injuries in liver and kidney, while cantharidin led to severer injuries in intestinal and bladder than norcantharidin.  
摘要:Objective: To explore the effect and mechanism of Cyclocarya paliurus saponin (CPS) on FFA-induced H4-ⅡE in hepatic cells. Method: FFA-induced H4-ⅡE liver cells of rat were cultivated for 72 h, and then exposed to various concentrations of CPS (0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40 g·L-1), and their viability was measured by Neutral red. According to the results of CPS cell activity, these cells were treated in the low-dose group (CPS-L, 0.10 g·L-1) and the high-dose group (CPS-H, 0.20 g·L-1), Oile red staining was performed to determine lipid content in the cells. After treatment of the cells for 2 h, mRNA levels were measured by Real-time PCR, while phosphorylation levels of target proteins were detected by Western blot after treatment for 30 min. Result: It was found that the cell viability indexes in the cells intervened by 0.10, 0.20 g·L-1 CPS increased significantly, compared with normal group (P<0.05). After treatment for 72 h, Oile red staining showed that FFA (20 μmol·L-1)-induced cells contained a large number of red lipid droplets, and lipid content increased significantly (P<0.01). However, after treatment CPS, red lipid droplets decreased, and lipid content significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). After intervention with CPS, phosphorylation levels of mitogen-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and acetylcoacarboxylase (ACC) in CPS-L and CPS-H groups were higher than those in control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). And sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP1c) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) mRNA expressions in CPS-L and CPS-H groups increased, compared with control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: CPS can play a significant role in reducing FFA-induced lipid deposition in liver cells in vitro; The mechanism may be correlated with up-regulation of AMPK, ACC protein and phosphorylation levels, and down-regulation of SREBP1c, FAS mRNA expressions.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the protective effect of oxymatrine(OMT) on cardiac myocytes injure induced by aldosterone and explore its mechanism. Method: The cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats were isolated and purified by trypsin digestion and differential adherence method for culture, and then 1×10-5mol·L-1 ALD was used to establish myocardial injury models. The experiment was divided into blank group, model group (1×10-5mol·L-1 ALD), ALD+OMT high dose group (3.78×10-4 mol·L-1), ALD+OMT low dose group (1.89×10-4 mol·L-1), ALD+JNK inhibitor group (JNK I, 5×10-6mol·L-1), ALD+Aspirin group (Asp, 1×10-5 mol·L-1). That is to say, in OMT, JNK inhibitor and Aspirin groups, after pre-treatment with corresponding medicines for 2 h, ALD with the final concentration of 1×10-5 mol·L-1 was added for co-incubation for 24 h. Then MTT assay was used to detect the cell survival rate; the morphological changes of cardiac myocytes were observed by Giemsa staining; Western blot and Real-time PCR were used to analyze the effect of OMT on the protein and mRNA expression of JNK and p-JNK. Result: As compared with the blank group, ALD significantly reduced the survival rate of cardiac myocytes(P<0.01) and changed the cell morphology; OMT could reverse the decrease in survival rate of cardiac myocytes(P<0.01) and restore the cells to normal form; Western blot showed that ALD could increase the phosphorylation of JNK (P<0.01), while the expression of p-JNK was significantly down-regulated after pre-incubated with OMT as compared with ALD group (P<0.01). Real-time PCR results showed that the expression of JNK mRNA in ALD group was higher than that in normal control group (P<0.01), however no significant change of gene expression was observed in OMT group. Conclusion: OMT had protective effect on ALD-induced cardiac myocytes injury, and its mechanism may be closely related to inhibiting JNK protein phosphorylation.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the effect of Huangqisan and its disassembled recipes on insulin resistance and mRNA and protein expression levels of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase typem 1(11β-HSD1), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in type 2 diabetic rats induced by glucocorticoid and high fat diet. Method: The study was performed after the rats received adaptive feeding for 1 week. Rats were randomly divided into normal control group(CD), glucocorticoid group(GC), high fat diet group(HFD) and combined model group(HFD+GC), rosiglitazone group(Ros), Huangqisan prescription 1 group(HQS-1, 2.91 g·kg-1), Huangqisan prescription 2 group(HQS-2, 3.85 g·kg-1), and Huangqisan original prescription group(HQS, 2.96 g·kg-1), 8 rats in each group. The rats in CD and GC groups were fed with basic diet, and other groups were fed with high-fat diet. The rats in CD and HFD groups were given with the same volume of normal saline, and the rats in other groups were given with prednisolone acetate (3.5 mg·kg-1) by intragasic administration once a day, and then the corresponding testing drugs were given one hour later by intragasic administration. After intervention by drugs for 10 weeks, fasting blood glucose(FBG), insulin levels and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) of all rats were measured. The liver pathological changes were observed by HE staining; and the mRNA and protein expression levels of 11β-HSD1 and PEPCK in liver issues were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blot methods. Result: As compared with CD group, the rats in HFD+GC model group showed hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hepatocyte degeneration, and increased expression of 11β-HSD1 and PEPCK(P<0.01), and pathological examination showed that the pathological changes of liver tissues were obvious. As compared with HFD+GC model group, each treatment group could decrease FPG and insulin levels, increase ISI to some degree, and also improve pathological morphology to some degree. The effect of HQS original prescription on insulin level and pathological morphology was superior to other groups. In addition, HQS and its disassembled recipes could reduce 11β-HSD1 and PEPCK mRNA and protein expression levels to different degrees(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the effect of Huangqisan original prescription was still superior to other groups. Conclusion: HQS could enhance insulin sensitivity and improve liver pathology, and its mechanism for preventing and treating diabetes and improving insulin resistance was probably related to reducing 11β-HSD1 mRNA and proteins expression levels.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the protective effects of essential oil from Alpinia zerumbet rhizome(EOFAZ) on oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) injury. Method: HAECs were subcultured in vitro, and the experiment on EOFAZ protective effect was randomly divided into 7 groups as following: blank control group (serum free ECM), model group (ox-LDL, 200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL), EOFAZ high dose group (200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL+100 μg·L-1 EOFAZ), EOFAZ low dose group (200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL+10 μg·L-1 EOFAZ), Aspirin group (200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL+2.5 × 10-4 mol·L-1 Aspirin), Carvedilol group (200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL+1×10-6mol·L-1 Carvedilol), and Atorvastatin Calcium group (200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL+1×10-6mol·L-1 Atorvastatin Calcium). Experiment on NOS signals was divided into 5 groups as following: blank control group (serum free ECM), model group (ox-LDL, 200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL), EOFAZ group (200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL+100 μg·L-1 EOFAZ), NOS inhibitor group (200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL+100 μmol·L-1 L-NAMEor 300 μmol·L-1 L-NMMA), and EOFAZ+NOS inhibitor group(200 mg·L-1 ox-LDL+100 μg·L-1 EOFAZ+100 μmol·L-1 L-NAME or 300 μmol·L-1 L-NMMA). 3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide(MTT) method was used to analyze the cell survival ratio; lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) activity and nitric oxide(NO) content in culture supernatant were determined by enzyme labelling method and Griess kit method. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) activities were determined by chemical methods. Quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of iNOS and eNOS. Result: MTT results showed that EOFAZ could significantly improve the survival rate of ox-LDL-induced injury HAECs, inhibit the increase of LDH and iNOS activity as compared with the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01), and simultaneously increase the release of NO and eNOS in medium(P<0.05, P<0.01). Real-time PCR analysis indicated that EOFAZ and related inhibitors could down-regulate iNOS mRNA expression (P<0.05, P<0.01) and up-regulate eNOS mRNA expression (P<0.05). Conclusion: EOFAZ could protect against HAECs injury induced by ox-LDL, and this mechanism was associated with regulating eNOS and iNOS expression.

摘要:Objective: To study the protective mechanism of resveratrol on atherosclerosis through regulating stromal interaction molecule 1(STIM1). Method: Atherosclerosis (AS) model was established by high-fat diet after ovariectomy in female apoE-/- mice, and then the mice were divided into normal control group, model group, resveratrol low, middle and high dose groups(50,100,150 mg·kg-1) and estradiol (E2) group. The lipid levels in the serum were detected. The changes of morphology in thoracic aorta were measured by oil Red O staining; the protein expression levels of STIM1, calcium release-activated calcium channel modulator 1(Orai1) and estrogen receptor α (ERα) in thoracic aorta were detected by Western blot; and the STIM1 and Orai1 mRNA expression levels were detected by Real-time PCR. Result: As compared with the normal group, the levels of total cholesterol(CHOL), triglyceride(TG) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly increased, while the level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was decreased significantly (P<0.05) in model group; the levels of CHOL, TG and LDL-C were significantly decreased and the content of HDL-C was increased after the administration of resveratrol and estrogen (P<0.05). Oil red O staining showed that in normal control group, the vascular structure was integrated, clear, and the intima was continuous; in model group, the intima was obviously thick, with visible lipid plaques; while after treatment with resveratrol or estrogen, the thickness of intima and lipid plaques were reduced. Western blot and Real-time PCR results showed that as compared with the normal group, STIM1, Orai1 protein and mRNA expression levels were increased in model group model group (P<0.05), and were decreased after treatment with resveratrol or estrogen (P<0.05). In addition, ERα expression was increased after treatment with resveratrol or estrogen as compared with the model group. Conclusion: Resveratrol could delay the AS by up-regulating ERα, down-regulating the expression of STIM1 and Orai1 and inhibiting Ca2+ influx via SOCE.  
摘要:Objective: To research the preventive effect and mechanism of Coptidis Rhizoma and Zingiberis Rhizoma(CRZR) in dextran sulphate sodium salt (DSS)-induced colitis model. Method: Totally 45 C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to blank control group (normal mice, n=9), model group (colitis mice, n=9), CRZR low dose group (1.2 mg·kg-1, n=9), CRZR middle dose group (2.4 mg·kg-1, n=9) and CRZR high dose group (4.8 mg·kg-1, n=9). After preventive treatment in CRZR groups by intragastric administration for 7 days (same volume of normal saline in normal group and model group), free drinking of 3%DSS solution was given in model group and Chinese medicine group for 6 days and the tap water was given in normal group. The body weights, stool consistency, and blood in the stool were monitored every day to calculate the disease activity index (DAI). The mice were sacrificed on day 7, and the colons (from the ileocecal junction to the anal verge) were removed and the length was measured. htoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of colon and the histopathological scores were recorded; enzymelinked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in plasma of mice; Western blot was used to detect JAK2 and STAT3 protein phosphorylation levels in colonic epithelial cells; and confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to detect the phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) expression level in colonic tissues. Result: DSS-induced model mice had an increased DAI score and decreased colon length as compared with the normal mice. CRZR low dose group had obviously lower DAI scores on day 2, 4, 6 and longer colon length as compared with the model group; CRZR middle dose group had lower DAI scores except day 4 and longer colon length as compared with the model group; CRZR high dose group had lower DAI scores from day 2 to end of the experiment and longer colon length as compared with the model group (P<0.05). HE staining showed that the inflammatory injury in the model group was significantly more severe than that in the normal group, and the inflammatory injury in CRZR groups was significantly milder than that in model group; the pathological score in model group was significantly higher than that in normal group (P<0.01), and the pathological scores in CRZR middle dose and high dose groups were significantly lower than that in the model group (P<0.05). The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in plasma of model group were significantly higher than those in normal group (P<0.01), and the levels in CRZR groups were significantly lower than those in model group (P<0.01). JAK2 and STAT3 protein activation levels in colonic tissues in model group were significantly higher than those in normal group (P<0.01), and the levels in CRZR groups were lower than those in model group (P<0.01, P<0.05). Conclusion: These results indicated that CRZR may prevent DSS-induced colitis and colonic inflammation by inhibiting IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway.

摘要:Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Shenluotong decoction for chronic glomerulonephritis with Qi and blood stasis and to discuss its mechanism from anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosis factors. Method: One hundred and forty patients with chronic glomerulonephritis were randomly divided into control group and observation group by random number table. In control group, the patients received dipyridamole tablets, 50 mg/time, 3 times/day, benazepril hydrochloride tablets, 10 mg/time, 1 time/day. For patients with dyslipidemia, added atorvastatin calcium tablets, 20 mg/time, 1 time/day after supper by oral administration. Based on the treatment of control group, patients in observation group added Shenluotong decoction formulation granules, 1 dose/day. The treatment course was 16 weeks in both groups. 24 hours' urinary protein quantification (24 h UPR), serum albumin, creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (Bun), urine routine examination were recorded. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated. And the scores of Qi and blood stasis were graded. Before and after treatment, levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β , type Ⅰ Pre-collagen(PC Ⅰ), type Ⅲ Pre-collagen (PC Ⅲ), hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), transforming growth factor-β 1(TGF-β 1), matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TMP-1) were detected. Result: The clinical effective rate in observation group was 87.69%, higher than 73.02% in control group(χ2=4.384,P<0.05), and the total effective rate for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome was 90.77% in observation group, higher than 74.6% in control group(χ2=5.874,P<0.05). Levels of 24 h UPR, SCr, BUN and Urinary red blood cells in observation group were lower than those in control group, and level of serum albumin was higher than that in control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01) after treatment. As compared with the data before treatment, GFR was increased (P<0.01), in observation group after treatment, and it was higher than that in control group (P<0.01). Levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β and PC Ⅰ, PC Ⅲ, HA and LN and TGF-β 1 and TMP-1 in observation group were lower than those in control group (P<0.01), and MMP-9 and MMP-9/TMP-1 ratio were higher than those in control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Shenluotong decoction formulation granules can relieve proteinuria and clinical symptoms, ameliorate renal function, improve serum albumin, increase disease efficacy and TCM syndrome effect in the patients with chronic glomerulonephritis with Qi and blood stasis, and its mechanism may be associated with reducing the inflammatory response, regulating levels of TGF-β 1, MMP-9 and TMP-1, and inhibiting renal fibrosis.

Among them, 27 literatures recorded observation of HbA1c, reflecting nearly eight weeks of glucose control; 8 literatures recorded observation of ET, and 4 literatures recorded observation of NO, reflecting the vascular endothelial cell function disorder; 8 literatures recorded observation of VEGF, proving that it is the growth factor playing a major role in the retinal micro-vascular proliferation; 8 literatures recorded observation of the whole blood viscosity (high shear), 8 literatures recorded observation of the whole blood viscosity (low shear), 9 literatures recorded observation of the plasma viscosity, 6 literatures recorded observation of fibrinogen, so as to reflect the change in blood rheology; 3 literatures recorded observation of hsCRP, 4 literatures recorded observation of TNF-α, discussing the effects on inflammation; 39 literatures recorded observation of the clinical efficacy, 23 literatures recorded observation of the efficacy in changing fundus, 20 literatures recorded observation of the efficacy in vision, and 29 literatures recorded observation of the effect of TCM syndrome. Conclusion: Compared with the pure western medicine treatment group, TCM compound was equal in the effect on NO in patients with diabetic retinopathy, but superior in glycosylated hemoglobin, ET, TNF-α, serum hsCRP, VEGF, whole blood viscosity (high shear), whole blood viscosity (low shear), plasma viscosity, fibrinogen, clinical efficacy, fundus change and vision. This suggests that TCM shows a more significant efficacy than pure western medicine. However, because of the limited quantity and quality of literatures, the effect of TCM compound in patients with DR shall be further confirmed by the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled with more high-quality double-blind randomized controlled trials.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the medication rules of emmeniopathy with kidney deficiency at Department of Gynecology of our hospital. Method: A total of 1 075 prescriptions of outpatient of menstrual disorders were collected from Department of Gynecology of Jiangsu Province Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Hospital from May 2016 to October 2016, and the proportion of herbs was analyzed by using the powerful sorting, screening and statistics functions of Microsoft Excel for data mining. Result: The utilization rate of 8 TCM herbs was more than 50%, which were Dipsaci Radix, Poria, Paeoniae Radix Alba (fried), Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Corni Fructus (fried with wine), Paeoniae Radix Rubra and Cuscutae Semen. The utilization rate of 6 TCM herbs was between 30%-50%, which were Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (fried with wheat bran), Cyperi Rhizoma (fried with vinegar), Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Moutan Cortex, and Eucommiae Cortex (fried with salt). According to conventional classification of Chinese materia medica, herbs with the higher rate were tonics and those for activating blood stasis. The others were herbs for regulating Qi and clearing heat. On the basis of the utilization rate, drug natures from high to low were warm, neutral and cold, respectively. The utilization rate of warm herbs was significantly higher than that of neutral and cold herbs. The utilization rate of herb pair of Poria-Dioscoreae Rhizoma (51.2%) was higher than that of Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Corni Fructus (47.7%) and Paeoniae Radix Alba-Paeoniae Radix Rubra (39.5%). Conclusion: Our Department of TCM Gynecology has generally treated emmeniopathy with kidney deficiency with such single herbs as Dipsaci Radix, Poria, Paeoniae Radix Alba (fried), Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Corni Fructus (fried with wine), Paeoniae Radix Rubra and Cuscutae Semen, herb pairs such as Poria-Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Corni Fructus and Paeoniae Radix Alba-Paeoniae Radix Rubra. The application of these herbs fully indicated the therapeutic principles of tonics and herbs strengthening spleen, activating blood stasis and dispelling cold, and the medication rules for treating emmeniopathy with kidney deficiency in our hospital.
