摘要:Objective: To identify the traits of 58 batches of Platycodonis Radix samples from 10 provinces and cities, determine the content of root extract and platycodin D in the samples, establish and compare their High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) fingerprints. Method: The content of platycodin D and the root extract in Platycodonis Radix was determined according to the determination method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. HPLC fingerprints of Platycodonis Radix were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Evaporative Lightscattering Detector (HPLC-ELSD) method and gradient elution flowing form. Result: In these 58 batches of sample, the surface color in 2 batches, size in 7 batches, and section characteristics in 11 batches did not comply with the requirements in pharmacopoeia. The content of platycodin D and root extract in 58 batches of Platycodonis Radix from 10 provinces or cities was determined, and the total failure rate of the root extract of Platycodonis Radix sample and platycodin D was 36.20%. A total of 17 common peaks were found in 58 batches of Platycodonis Radix. The content of extract and platycodin D, as well as HPLC fingerprints in Platycodonis Radix samples from Sichuan province showed high similarity, and these above three aspects showed low similarity in the samples from Chongqing and Hunan province. Cluster analysis and comparative study of the traits, root extract content, platycodin D content and HPLC fingerprints were performed on 58 batches of Platycodonis Radix from different habitats. The results showed that there was no positive correlation between the content of extract, platycodin D and HPLC fingerprint similarity, but the difference in content of extract and other components in the samples was related to the characteristics of the samples (skin). Conclusion: The identified traits, the determined content of platycodin D, root extract and the established HPLC fingerprints can provide a more comprehensive, authentic and representative reference for screening of high quality Platycodonis Radix, revision of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and quality evaluation of Platycodonis Radix.

摘要:Objective: To use Shenqi Jieyu formula with the power of tonifying heart and spleen to treat postpartum depression (PPD) model animals, and observe the changes in relevant prefrontal cortex, hippocampus 5-serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) and their receptors, in order to explore the intervening mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) in in tonifying heart and spleen. Method: Female SD rats, 2 to 3 months old, were randomly divided into normal (N) group, sham operation (SO) group, model (M) group, TCM group, and western medicine (WM) group. All rats were observed respectively at 1, 2, 4, 6 weeks after preparation. The PPD model was established through sudden withdrawal of hormones after continuous injection with estrogen and progesterone. Then, the rats were given pharmacological intervention. The rats' materials were collected at the prescribed time points. Their behaviors were tested at each time points. Then the contents of 5-HT, NE were detected by HPLC, and the expressions of 5-HT1AR, α2AR were detected by IHC in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Result: Compared with N and SO, contents of 5-HT and NE in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in M at each time point were lower (P<0.01). Compared with M, contents of 5-HT, NE in prefrontal cortex in TCM, WM at each time point were all increased, except for at 2, 4, 6 weeks in TCM (P<0.05, P<0.01), with the same outputs in hippocampus in TCM and WM at each time point. Compared with M, levels of 5-HT1AR in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in N and SO at each time point were enhanced (P<0.01), while levels of α2AR in above places and at the time points were attenuated (P<0.01). Expressions of 5-HT1AR in prefrontal cortex in TCM at 2, 4, 6 weeks and in hippocampus at each time point were all higher than M (P<0.01). Compared with M, expressions of α2AR in prefrontal cortex in TCM at 2, 4, 6 weeks and WM at 4, 6 weeks, and in hippocampus in TCM at 4, 6 weeks and WM 2, 4, 6 weeks were decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: Shenqi Jieyu formula could significantly promote contents of 5-HT and NE in PPD rats' brain, and effectively regulate the abnormal expressions of their receptors. The balance adjustment for the above neurotransmitters and their receptors might play a very important role for this formula on treating PPD.

From week 4, intragastrical administration was given for 12 weeks in various treatment groups. They were weighed every 4 weeks, and blood was taken to detect liver function. The levels of hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin(LN), metal matrix proteinase-1(MMP-1) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) in serum were detected by using ELISA. At week 8 and week 16, livers of all animals were detected by B ultrasound, then aspiration biopsy was conducted under B ultrasound. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Van-Gienson staining were conducted on the aspiration biopsy samples, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and smooth muscle actin-α (α-SMA) in liver were also detected in the samples by Western blot. Result: After administration of CCl4 for 8 weeks, the levels of alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), alkaline phosphatase(ALP), HA and LN in serum were increased in model group, colchicines group, and Phyllodii Pulchelli Radix high and low dose groups as compared with control group and before modeling before, while total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) in serum were decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). After modeling for 12 weeks, TIMP-1 was increased significantly in model group and all treatment groups as compared with the normal group (P<0.05). After modeling for 16 weeks, the strong echo was enhanced in liver of model group in detecting by B ultrosound, and HE staining showed hepatocyte necrosis and fibroblast proliferation; Van-Gieson staining showed that the content of collagen fiber was increased, and the expression levels of TGF-β1 and α-SMA in liver were increased significantly in model group (P<0.05). After administration of colchicines or Phyllodii Pulchelli Radix for 8 weeks, the levels of AST, ALT, TBIL, ALP and HA in serum were decreased significantly in colchicines group and high dose Phyllodii Pulchelli Radix group as compared with model group, while the level of TP was increased differently (P<0.05, P<0.01). After administration of colchicines or Phyllodii Pulchelli Radix for 12 weeks, the levels of LN and TIMP-1 were decreased significantly in colchicines group and high dose Phyllodii Pulchelli Radix group (P<0.05), while the level of ALB was increased (P<0.05). The results from B ultrasound and pathological examination showed that the fibrosis in liver was relieved in colchicines group and high dose Phyllodii Pulchelli Radix group, and the levels of TGF-β1 and α-SMA in liver were also decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion: Administration of Phyllodii Pulchelli Radix at dose of 4.0 g·kg-1 showed significant efficacy for liver fibrosis of cynomolgus monkeys, could obviously improve the liver function and reduce the degree of fibrosis. The underlying mechanism may be correlated with reduction of liver cell damage and prevention of collagen fiber formation.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect and possible mechanism of Qixian Tongluo decoction on endogenous neural stem cells regeneration after cerebral ischemia in rats. Method: The focal cerebral ischemia model was established by the method of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). A total of 160 rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham operation group, model group, piracetam group (piracetam tablets intragastric administration), and Qixian Tongluo decoction group (Qixian Tongluo decoction intragastric administration). 5-Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was injected intraperitoneally to label proliferating cells in brain; at day 3, 7, 14 and 28 after MCAO modeling, the neonatal neurons and astrocytes in the ischemic hippocampus were detected by immunofluorescence BrdU/neuron nuclear antigen (NeuN) and BrdU/glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) double staining, and then the positive rate of double labeling cells was calculated. In addition, the expression level of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the ischemic brain was detected by immunohistochemistry. Result: The percentages of BrdU/NeuN and BrdU/GFAP double-labeled positive cells in Qixian Tongluo decoction group and piracetam group were all higher than those in the model group at day 7, 14 and 28 after cerebral ischemia (P<0.01). The percentages of BrdU/NeuN positive cells in Qixian Tongluo decoction group were all higher than those in piracetam group at different time points (P<0.05); however, the percentage of BrdU/GFAP double-labeled positive cells in Qixian Tongluo decoction group was higher than that of piracetam group only at day 7 after MCAO (P<0.05), and then the percentages were decreased in both groups. As compared with the model group, the expression levels of BDNF in the ischemic brain of Qixian Tongluo decoction group and piracetam group were all higher at different time points after cerebral ischemia (P<0.01). The expression level of BDNF in Qixian Tongluo decoction group reached the peak at day 3 after MCAO, and then declined at the following time points, but still higher than that in the piracetam group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Qixian Tongluo decoction can promote endogenous neural stem cells regeneration in rats with cerebral ischemia especially during convalescence and sequelae stages, and the early activation of astrocytes and upregulation of BDNF in ischemia brain may be one of its mechanisms.

摘要:Objective: To study the protective effect of 17-methoxyl-7-hydroxyl-benzofuran chalcone (YLSC) postconditioning on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in isolated rat hearts and investigate its related signaling pathway. Method: Total 60 male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal group, model group, YLSC group (5 μmol·L-1),AG490 group (2 μmol·L-1) and YLSC+inhibitor group (YLSC 5 μmol·L-1+AG490 2 μmol·L-1), n=12 in each group. The isolated rat hearts were subjected to 30 min ischemia+120 min reperfusion to establish the I/R model. AG490 or YLSC was given 10 min before reperfusion. The heart rate (HR), the left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and the maximum change rate of left ventricular pressure (±dp/dtmax) were recorded, and the level of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) in coronary effluent was detected. The rats were sacrificed after reperfusion, and their infarct sizes were measured by triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining. Phosphorylated janus kinase 2 (JAK2), phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) protein expression levels in myocardium were measured by Western blot. Result: As compared with the model group, YLSC postconditioning obviously ameliorated cardiac function, decreased myocardial infarct sizes and LDH level, reduced apoptotic rate and Bax expression levels, and increased p-JAK2, p-STAT3 and Bcl-2 levels (P<0.05, P<0.01). Combination of YLSC and AG490 could attenuate the hemodynamic improvement effect, increase the infarct sizes, LDH level and Bax expression level, and down-regulate p-JAK2, p-STAT3 and Bcl-2 expression levels as compared with YLSC group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: YLSC postconditioning could effectively protect against myocardial I/R injury in isolated rat hearts, and its mechanism may be associated with activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

摘要:Objective: To explore whether the renal protective effect of Tangshen'an is related to the activation of Nrf2/ARE pathway, the role of anti-oxidative stress and reduction of inflammatory response. Method: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:normal group, model group, Tangshen'an low, middle and high dose groups, and irbesartan group. Their drug-containing serum was prepared from each group. The serum of normal group was added into mesangial cells cultured in normal concentration of glucose, and the serum from other 5 groups was respectively added into the mesangial cells cultured in high concentration of glucose. The mRNA and protein expression levels of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its downstream factor γ-glutamylcysteinesynthetase(γ-GCS) were detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot respectively. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the supernatant of each group were detected by ELISA. Result: As compared with the model group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Nrf2 and γ-GCS were significantly up-regulated (P<0.01), and the contents of IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased (P<0.01) in various treatment groups. Conclusion: Tangshen'an can activate Nrf2/ARE pathway, decrease oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and eventually achieve the role of renal protection.  
摘要:Objective: To conduct a comparative study on the toxic reaction of Niuhuang Jiedu tablets containing Calculus Bovis (Niuhuang) from different sources in mice, in order to explore the mechanism of chronic arsenic poisoning clinically caused by Niuhuang Jiedu tablets. Method: Test sample Niuhuang Jiedu tablets were respectively made by using natural Calculus Bovis, Bovis Calculus Artificial, and Bovis Calculus Sativus, with no Calculus Bovis element and no Realgar element, according to Chinese Pharmacopoeia (Version 2015). The same dose of test sample single Realgar was used for control. Each Niuhuang Jiedu tablets group was divided into low, middle and high-dose groups, ICR mice were intragastrically administered with drugs for 28 days, then the toxic reaction was observed during the period of drug administration. After drug administration, these mice were put to death. Their blood samples were collected to test liver and kidney function, and tissues of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney were collected for histopathological examination and ultrastructure observation under electronic microscopy. Result: In each test group, no toxic reaction was observed during drug administration. No gross lesion was observed in viscera and skins after the mice were put to death. And no clear toxic effect of Realgar on liver and kidney functions was found in blood biochemistry examination. In each Niuhuang Jiedu tablets group, no change in histopathology and ultrastructure under electronic microscopy was found. But in high-dose single Realgar group, the histopathological examination showed that in hepatic lobule, hepatocytes became enlarged, and glycogen accumulated in cytoplasma according to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, which were further confirmed by periodic acid Schiff reaction (PAS) staining. Ultrastructure under electronic microscopy showed in hepatocytes focal cytoplasm dissolutions, and glycogen granules were found inside. Conclusion: No obvious toxic reaction was found in ICR mice after administration with Niuhuang Jiedu tablets containing bovis calculus from different sources for 28 days, but the same dose of single Realgar could cause liver toxicity. It is suggested that other ingredients in Niuhuang Jiedu tablets combined with Realgar can significantly reduce the concentrations of soluble arsenic and arsenic valence state, thus reducing the toxicity of Realgar.

摘要:Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect and safety of Canshitang combined with colchicine in treatment of the gouty arthritis syndrome of accumulated dampness-heat. Method: A total of 258 patients with gouty arthritis syndrome of accumulated dampness-heat were randomly divided into the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) group, western medicine group and the integrated Chinese and western medicine group, with 86 cases in each group. The TCM group was treated with Canshitang recipe by oral administration; the colchicine was applied by oral administration in the western medicine group, and Canshitang combined with colchicine was adopted in integrated Chinese and western medicine group, with a course of 14 d in all three groups. The changes in clinical symptoms, serum uric acid (SUA), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were observed before and after treatment, and the total effective rate, incidence of adverse reactions and 3-month recurrence rate were compared among these three groups. Result: The 3 cases were removed in TCM group in the treatment; 2 cases were removed in western medicine group, and 5 cases were removed in integrated Chinese and western medicine group. The total effective rate was 93.8% in integrated Chinese and western medicine group, better than 81.9% in TCM group and 83.3% in western medicine group (P<0.05); there was no significant difference between Chinese medicine group and western medicine group. After treatment, the score of the clinical symptoms, UA, ESR, CRP and IL-6 levels in integrated Chinese and western medicine group were better than those in TCM group and the western medicine group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between TCM group and the western medicine group. The incidence of adverse reactions was as follows, TCM group (3.6%) < integrated Chinese and western medicine group (60.5%) < western medicine group (82.1%) (P<0.05); and the recurrence rate was integrated Chinese and western medicine group (7.4%) < TCM group (20.5%) < western medicine group (26.1%) (P<0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in efficacy between Canshitang treatment and colchicine in the treatment of gouty arthritis syndrome of accumulated dampness-heat, but the incidence of adverse reactions and the recurrent rate were lower than those of colchicine. Canshitang combined with colchicine had a synergistic effect for this disease, and the efficacy was superior to that of Canshitang treatment alone or colchicine alone, with lower reverse action incidence and recurrent rate.

摘要:Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to heart is reduced or the myocardial oxygen demand is more than the maximum blood supply, resulting in changes in myocardial metabolism, function, and structure. Reperfusion after ischemia leads to cardiac functional damage, arrhythmias, and myocardial cell necrosis, known as ischemia/reperfusion injury. Its pathophysiology is complex, involving coronary artery stenosis, endothelial injury, platelet aggregation, energy metabolism disorder, oxidative stress, inflammation response, apoptosis, calcium overload and autophagy, forming a complex regulatory network. The current clinical medicines for myocardial ischemia and reperfusion mainly include antiplatelet drugs, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, statins, RAS blockers, nitrates and thrombolytic therapy etc.Although there are many kinds of drugs mentioned above, the control effect is limited because of the single target of modern western medicine and many adverse reactions. With multiple targets and components, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, the main medicine for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, has been widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, especially for the prevention and treatment of myocardial ischemic diseases. The water-soluble ingredient is acknowledged as the important active ingredient in treating cardiovascular diseases. The effect and mechanism of main water-soluble components (tanshinol, salvianolic acid A and salvianolic acid B) were compared in this paper to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma.

摘要:Depression is one kind of mental diseases and endangers human health seriously. Until now, Drug therapy has been the main treatment of depression. At present, most commonly-prescribed antidepressants are chemically synthesized, and most of which are monoamine neurotransmitters modulators. These drugs have many disadvantages, such as remarkable side effects, slow onset, expensive prices and poor treatment outcome. The traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has a long history in treating depression, thus providing an alternative to antidepressants with better efficacy and less side effects.Chinese herbal compounds which have antidepressant effects, could be classified by mechanism as follows-relieving the depressed liver, calming the mind by nourishing the heart, regulating vital energy and dispelling phlegm, invigorating blood circulation to dissipate blood stasis. According to the source of TCM decoction pieces, single herbs and active ingredients can be divided into the following catagories-tonics, regulating Qi and promoting the circulation of blood, tranquilization and calming liver wind, clearing heat and removing dampness, relieving exterior syndrome and cough. The new research results and achievements of antidepressant pharmacological research will exert a profound impact on the idea of traditional syndrome differentiation and treatment as well as the habits in medicine employment. In this paper, anatomical structure and biochemical indicators are briefly discussed, and then TCM which have antidepressant effects, in recent years are reviewed. This review aims to provide reference to the research and development of herbal antidepressants.
