摘要:Objective: To explore the regulating effect of Yishen Jiedu prescription on the protein expression of ribonuclease L (RNase L) and the apoptosis terminal protein Caspase-3 in bone metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma. Method: Lung adenocarcinoma cell lines that had won the national patent were injected into left ventricle of nude mice to prepare the bone metastasis model.Then, the mice were randomly divided into five groups:high, middle and low-dose (24,12,3 g · kg-1) Yishen Jiedu groups, disodium phosphate group and control group.Finally, with histopathological method and microSPECT/CT imaging method, we can observe the outcome of bone metastases.After administration at fixed time and dose for 5 weeks, dissection was performed, and the expressions of RNase L protein and Caspase-3 protein in bone metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma, and the regulatory effect of Yishen Jiedu prescription was analyzed through immunohistochemistry methods, Western blot and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods. Result: The model group had the highest expression of RNase L protein and mRNA in bone metastases tumor cells, with significant statistical differences between the model group and others (P<0.01).However, the model group showed the lowest expression of Caspase-3 protein and mRNA, with significant statistical differences between the middle low dosage group of Yishen Jiedu and disodium phosphate groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: There was a high expression in RNase L expression in bone metastases in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, while Caspase-3, a main terminal protein in the process of cell apoptosis, was extremely low.The internal mechanism may be correlated with the cell apoptosis escape of lung adenocarcinoma bone metastases.The prescription of Yishen Jiedu prescription can inhibit the apoptosis of tumor escape by reducing the expression of RNase L and enhancing caspase-3 protein.  
摘要:Objective: To explore the effects of the containing serum of Xiaoai Jiedu decoction with different concentrations on proliferation and glycolysis of human colon cancer cells and investigate its action mechanism. Method: Eight new zealand rabbits were randomized into the serum containing medicine[40 g · (kg · d)-1 of Xiaoai Jiedu decoction]group and the blank serum group (equivoluminal normal saline).Both groups received intragastric administration for 3 days to prepare serum containing Xiaoai Jiedu decoction and blank serum.Human colon cancer HT-29 and HCT-116 cells were cultured with pharmacological serum of Xiaoai Jiedu decoction (5%, 10% and 15%), and then their effects on the human colon cancer cells' proliferation was examined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay.The amount of lactic acid produced by HT-29 and HCT-116 cells was measured by lactic acid test kit, and the amount of glucose produced by HT-29 and HCT-116 cells was measured by glucose test kit.The expression levels of hexokinase 2 (HK2), pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1), lactate dehydrogenase (LDHA), and Hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were detected by using Western blot. Result: Serum containing Xiaoai Jiedu decoction exhibited suppressive effects on HT-29 and HCT-116 proliferation.The effect of 15% serum containing Xiaoai Jiedu decoction was the best, with inhibition rate of 42.7% and 50.2% respectively for HT-29 and HCT-116 cells.Western blot analysis indicated that as compared with blank control group, the serum containing Xiaoai Jiedu decoction reduced the expression of HK2, PDK1, LDHA and HIF-1α (P<0.05), and with the increase of concentration, the expression was decreased.The results of lactic acid and glucose test kit showed that as compared with the blank control group, the serum containing Xiaoai Jiedu decoction can reduce the levels of lactic acid and glucose (P<0.05) and with the increasing of concentration, the levels of lactic acid and glucose were decreased. Conclusion: The serum containing Xiaoai Jiedu decoction can inhibit the proliferation of human colon cancer HT-29 and HCT-116 cells by inhibiting the process of the glycolysis.Inhibitory mechanisms of glycolysis might be associated with reducing the expression of HIF-1α, thereby reducing the expression of glycolytic enzymes HK2, PDK1, and LDHA.

Method: One hundred and sixty patients with PCI were randomly divided into control group and observation group by random number table.The two groups were adopted got aspirin enteric-coated tablets, 100 mg/time, 1 time/day,clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets, 75 mg/time, 1 time/day, atorvastatin calcium tablets, 20 mg/time, 1 time/day,metoprolol tartrate sustained-release tablets, 200 mg/time, 2 times/day, and sports rehabilitation training.Patients in observation group got Yixin Tongmai grains, 10 mg/time, 3 times/day.The course of treatment was 6 months.Post-surgery restenosis (ISR) and improper perfusion (NR) were recorded.Echocardiography was performed, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), stroke volume (SV), left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) and end-systolic diameter (LVEVI) were recorded before and after treatment.Seattle angina Rating scale (SAQ), Qi and blood stasis, six-minute walk test (6 MWT), ankle brachial index (ABI) were scored before and after treatment.And levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were detected before and after treatment. Result: During the 6 months, incidence of ISR in observation group was 6.58%, which was lower than 19.44% in control group (χ2=5.051, P<0.05), incidence of NR in observation group was 9.59%, which was lower than 22.22% in control group (χ2=4.334, P<0.05).After treatment, LVEF and SV were higher than those in control group (P<0.01), LVEDVI and LVEVI were lower than those in control group (P<0.01).After treatment, scores of degree of motion limitation, angina stability, angina attack and treatment satisfaction were all higher than those in control group (P<0.01).Levels of TNF-α, IL-6, NT-proBNP and MMP-9 were lower than those control group (P<0.01).The 6-minute walking distance in observation group were longer than that in control group (P<0.01), score of Qi and blood stasis in observation group was lower than that of control group (P<0.01), and ABI was higher than that in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: After PCI, Yixin Tongmai grains can reduce ISR and NR, inhibit ventricular remodeling and inflammatory response, relieve clinical symptoms, improve ventricular function, and enhance patients' motion ability and quality of life, so as to promote recovery of patients.  
摘要:Objective: Data mining method was adopted to summarize the medication regularity in each phase and the action mechanism of infertility with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) periodic therapy. Method: Clinical research literatures of treatment for infertility by TCM periodic therapy in 1980-2016 were searched,a database of Excel was established and SPSS Clementine 12.0 software was used to analyze the data. Result: A total of 143 TCMs and 3 609 frequencies were involved in the 85 literatures.Sumed up the TCMs with high usage frequency in the prescriptions for each phase.The result preliminary proved that tonifying the kidney was used throughout the TCM periodic therapy. Conclusion: The main rules of treatment in post menstrual period are nourishing the essence and enriching the blood,in ovulation are promoting blood circulation for removing blood stasis and regulating blood vessels,in premenstrual phase are warming kidney and activating Yang,in menstrual period are promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis for promoting tissue regeneration.The key point of TCM periodic therapy for infertility is regulating Tiangui in the kidney.

摘要:Berberine, extracted from Coptis chinensis, Phellodendron amurense and other herbs, is a kind of alkaloid with significant antibacterial effects.Ithas been used in the treatment of bacterial gastroenteritis, dysentery and other gastrointestinal diseases for a long time.In recent years, other pharmacological activities of berberine have beengradually discovered.The studies have shown that berberine has significant effects on the cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system, especially effective for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, and berberine can also increase the sensitivity of insulin to treat diabetes.In addition, it is found that berberine has anti-inflammatory actions and anti-cancer effects.Berberine can kill tumor cells, inhibit proliferation of tumor cells and induce apoptosis of tumor cells.Berberine can also affect the ion channels of biomembrane such as calcium ion and potassium ion to adjust the electrolyte balance.Because of the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation actions, it is also used to treat peptic ulcer.In this report, the actions and mechanism of berberine were summed up,including the effects of berberine on the cardiovascular system, nervous system, endocrine system and the pharmacological effects of anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-cancer actions, as well as its effects onion channels, cyclin, and extracellular matrix.The actions and mechanism of berberine have obtained more and more attention, especially anti-cancer effects, indicating there will be new progress in the study on traditional Chinese medicines and prescriptions containing berberine.The summary of actions and mechanism of berberine would be helpful to improve the clinical applicationsof berberineand R&D of new drugs.  
摘要:With the increasing scarcity of Cordyceps sinensis, fermented C.sinensis powder that produced through extraction and separation of medical strains from C.sinensis by artificial fermentation has gradually become the substitutes of C.sinensis.Modern pharmacology had verified that the pharmacological activity of fermented C.sinensis powder is similar to that of C.sinensis, because they have similar active ingredients.Currently, there were numerous products of fermented C.sinensis powder, mainly including Jinshuibao capsule, Bailing capsule, Xinganbao capsule, Zhiling capsule, Ningxinbao capsule.Among them, only Jinshuibao capsule and Bailing capsule have reached comprehensive quality standards and been recorded in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia,while others have inferiorquality standards.For the product of fermented C.sinensis, the unified quality control method has not been established.Therefore, the establishment of improved and unified quality standards for products of fermented C.sinensis powder is the key to improve its quality standard and ensure its safety, high quality and efficiency.This essay summarized the chemical composition and the progress in quality control by analyzing the deficiency of the quality standard of products of fermented C.sinensis powder, and propose to establish a more scientific and rational model of quality standard for comprehensively evaluating its quality, withthe aim to provide a certain reference for the improvement of quality standard and the standardized production of products of fermented C.sinensis powder.

摘要:Scutellariae Radix is the dried roots of Scutellaria baicalensis belonging to Labiataeae.It has been used as a medicine for a long time and mainly for the treatment of pulmonary cough, acute dysentery, irascibility and headache.In recent years, scholars at home and abroad have found that baicalin is one of the active ingredients contained in Scutellariae Radix, with anti-bacterial,anti-inflammatory, sedationand reducing blood pressure, protecting liver and gallbladder and other pharmacological effects.Magnesium, as one of the necessary elements that human body needs, plays an important role in the metabolism of the human body.This paper was to study the pharmacological effects and drug-preparations of baicalin and magnesium byreviewing relevant references in Wanfang, CNKI and PubMed databaseswithinrecent years.It was foundthat in addition toanti-inflammatory, anti-virus and anti-oxidation effects, baicalin was alsoeffective in the treatment of hepatitis and asthma, with anti-tumor andanti-human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-1 activities, and it could promote the growth of embryonic in vitro.In addition, it also had protective effects on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and diabetic nephropathy.However, the pharmacokinetic study of baicalin showed that it had poor water solubility and low absolute bioavailability.Researchers developed a number of new drug delivery systems to improve the bioavailability of baicalin.Previous studies had confirmed that the original form of baicalin in Scutellariae Radix was baicalin magnesium salt.In order to explore the possible pharmacological action of baicalin magnesium salt and the feasibility of its preparations, pharmacological effects and mechanism of baicalin and magnesium were summarized brieflyin this paper, and the future directions for baicalin magnesium salt pharmacological study and drug-preparations wereproposed, hoping toprovide references for the studyof baicalin magnesium salt and lay a foundation foritsdevelopment and clinical applications.
