摘要:Objective: To investigate the effects of Qingchang Huashi decoction (QHD) on the expressions of peroxidase body growth activated receptor-γ(PPAR-γ) and nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB) p65 in colonic mucosa of rats with ulcerative colitis, and study the mechanism of Qingchang Huashi decoction in rats with ulcerative colitis. Method: Eighty male Wistar rats were divided randomly into eight groups:normal group (ig NS 2 mL·d-1), model group (ig NS 2 mL·d-1), QHD low-dose group, QHD medium-dose group, QHD high-dose group (ig QHD 8, 16, 32 g·kg-1), SASP group (ig SASP 0.67 g·kg-1), SASP+BADGE group (ig SASP 0.67 g·kg-1+ip BADGE 20 mg·kg-1), and QHD medium-dose+BADGE group (ig QHD 16 g·kg-1+ip BADGE 20 mg·kg-1), with 10 rats in each group. TNBS was used in all of the groups except for normal group to establish the ulcerative colitis model in rats. SASP and BADGE that is the inhibitor of PPAR-γ were used as positive control drug. The general conditions and the colonic pathology morphology were observed. Western blot and Real-time PCR were performed to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of PPAR-γ and NF-κB p65.The expressions of mucoprotein2(MUC2) and trefoil factor3(TFF3) in colonic mucosa extract were detected by the method of ELISA. Result: Obvious inflammation and ulceration were observed in model group, which suggested that the model was successful. The protein and mRNA expressions of PPAR-γ in the model group were significantly lower than the normal group (P<0.01). Compared with the normal group, expressions of PPAR-γ in QHD and SASP increased slightly (P<0.05), however, these effects were reduced when QHD and SASP were combined with BADGE (P<0.05). At the same time, the protein and mRNA expressions of NF-κB p65 increased significantly in model group (P<0.01). QHD could decline the expression of NF-κB (P<0.05), while QHD combined with BADGE could not inhibit its expression any more (P<0.05). Moreover, SASP and QHD were able to increase the expressions of MUC2 and TFF3 in colonic mucosa, but these effects were weakened when combined with BADGE. Conclusion: Qingchang Huashi decoction can improve general conditions and colonic inflammation of TNBS-induced model rats. Its mechanisms may be that Qingchang Huashi decoction can activate PPAR-γ signaling pathway by inhibiting inflammation and expression of NF-κB p65, improving secretion of MUC2 and TFF3 at mucous membrane, and restoring the intestine barrier.  
摘要:Objective: To explore the toxic effects of total alkaloids and the simulation-processed product of Aconitine Radix in isolated hearts of rats.

摘要:Objective: To study the effect of Ferulae Resina ethyl acetate extract on the migration and invasion of human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 and its relevant mechanism. Method: With Caco-2 cells as the research object, 6.25, 12.5 mg·L-1 of Ferulae Resina ethyl acetate extract and cisplatin were respectively applied in human colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells in the logarithmic phase of growth. A blank control group was set up. Scratch healing method and transwell chamber were used to observe 0-48 h Caco-2 cells migration in each group and the number of Caco-2 cell passing through the matrix membrane in 72 h in each group, and calculate Caco-2 cell migration rate and invasion rate at each time point. Gene and protein expressions of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), serine/threonine (Akt), mammalina target of rapamgcin (mTOR), and protein in Caco-2 cells were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blot. Result: Ferulae Resina and cisplatin groups showed slower cells healing degrees at 24 h and 48 h compared with the blank group (P<0.05), at 72 h, the number of cells passing through the matrix membrane was significantly less than that in blank group (P<0.01). In each dose group, PTEN gene expression levels were significantly higher, and Akt, mTOR gene expression levels were significantly lower (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ferulae Resina ethyl acetate extract can significantly inhibit the migration and invasion of human colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells, which may be correlated with increase in PTEN gene expression.

摘要:Objective: To study the correlation between the effect of Zexietang on hyperlipidemic rats and the changes in intestinal microflora. Method: Totally 40 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (group C), high fat diet group (group M), high fat diet plus simvastatin pretreatment group (positive control group, group Y, 2.1 mg·kg-1·d-1) and high fat diet plus Zexietang pretreatment group (group Z, 2.2 g·kg-1·d-1), with 10 in each group. After modeling for 4 weeks, both of group Y and group Z were given the corresponding drugs by gavage once a day. Group C and group M were given the same volume of normal saline. After administration for 4 weeks, the levels of serum total cholesterol(TC), total triglyceride(TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) were detected. HE was performed to detect the histological changes of livers. Total DNA was extracted from the intestinal tract, and the changes of intestinal microflora were detected. Result: The levels of TC, TG, LDL-C in group M were higher than that of group C (P<0.05). After pretreatment with Zexietang for 4 weeks, the hyperlipidemic rats in group Z and group Y displayed reductions in levels of TC, TG and LDL-C compared with the model group (P<0.05). According to the histomorphological test, rats in the model group showed liver in light pink color, with tissue swelling, surface roughness and lower elasticity than the normal group; Compared with the model group, group Z and group Y showed significant improvement in liver color and elasticity. Furthermore, the intestinal bacterial 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing analysis results showed that in the Zexietang pretreatment group, the structural diversity and richness of intestinal flora of the rats were obviously increased. Moreover, the number of normal intestinal flora was recovered to a certain extent, and the disorder of intestinal flora was alleviated. Conclusion: Zexietang can effectively regulate the disorder of lipid profiles metabolism in hyperlipidemic rats by regulating the target of intestinal flora, so as to play the role of anti-hyperlipidemia.  
摘要:Objective: To study the effect of Lycium ruthenicum fructus on the expression of MAPK signal channel protein and antioxidantive stress damage capacity in skeletal muscle of rats with excessive training. Method: Equivalent load aerobic training and high intensity endurance training rat model was established. A total of 50 49-day old male SPF Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 12 in each group (the rats that did not meet the requirements were removed):control group (C Group), aerobic training group (M group), overtraining group (OM group), overtraining and Lycium ruthenicum fructus group (LM group). The dose of LM group was 4.48 mg·kg-1, with ig volume of 5 mL·kg-1. The other groups were given equal volume of saline. After 42 days' exhaustive swimming training, mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal channel protein expression and antioxidantive stress damage indicators in skeletal muscle of rats were examined. Spectrophotometry was adopted to detect activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and content of malondialdehyde (MDA). Western blot was used to detect MAPK signal channel protein expression. ELISA was applied in detecting content of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT) and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). Acetylcysteine method was adopted to detect activity of creatine kinase (CK). Phenylhydrazine chromogenic method was used to detect activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Result: The exhaustive swimming time of M group was longer than C group, and that of LM group was significantly longer than OM group (P<0.01). The SOD activity in M group was higher than that in C group, that in OM group was significantly lower than C group and M group (P<0.05), and that in LM group was significantly higher than OM group (P<0.05). 3-NT and 8-OHdG content in M group was higher than that in C group, that in OM group was significantly higher than C group and M group (P<0.01), and that in LM group was significantly lower than OM group (P<0.01). The LDH and CK activities of serum in M group was slightly higher than C group, that in OM group was significantly higher than C group and M group (P<0.01), and that in LM group was significantly higher than OM group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of p38 MAPK and ERK signal channel protein in M group was higher than that in C group (P<0.05), and that in M group was lower than the OM group (P<0.05); that in OM group was higher than C group (P<0.01); that in LM group was higher than that in C group (P<0.05), and that in LM group was lower than OM group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The supplementation of Lycium ruthenicum fructus can effectively alleviate the imbalance of the inner environment caused by overtraining, inhibit the excessive expression of MAPK signal channel protein, activate antioxidant enzyme gene expression induced by skeletal muscle MAPK signal transduction system of overtraining rats, improve the capacity of scavenging oxygen free radicals in body, especially skeletal muscle, regulate the antioxidantive stress damage capacity of body, and prevent and delay the oxidative stress injury and the occurrence and development of the sports fatigue.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Tang (BHT) on vascular endothelial cells (VEC) injured by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and compare the effect between drug-containing serum and drug-containing plasma on VEC. Method: The modified BHT-containing serum and plasma were prepared. Human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with serum and plasma containing modified BHT and incubated with ox-LDL for additional 24 hours for ox-LDL modeling. The cell viability was observed by MTT assay, and cells apoptosis rate was observed by using Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry; meanwhile the levels of nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activity of superoxidedismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were determined to explore the difference in the protective effect between modified BHT-containing serum and plasma on injured VEC. Result: As compared with the blank control group, the percentage of cells death and apoptosis was significantly higher in the model group (P<0.05). As compared with the model group, the percentage of cells death and apoptosis was significantly reduced in modified BHT-containing serum group and plasma group (P<0.05); cell viability was significantly increased(P<0.05); the levels of NO, SOD and GPx were all significantly increased, the level of MDA was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Besides, the percentage of cells death and apoptosis was lower in modified BHT-containing serum group than that in plasma group (P<0.05); however, the level of NO in modified BHT-containing plasma group was significantly higher than that in serum group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The serum and plasma containing modified BHT could prevent VEC from oxidative injury induced by ox-LDL, and the mechanism may be associated with improving the function of endothelial cells, anti-oxidative damage and inhibiting cell apoptosis. The protective effect of modified BHT-containing plasma on VEC was more stronger than the modified BHT-containing serum under certain conditions.

摘要:Objective: To observe the effects of total extract from persimmon parasitism (EPP) in diabetic mice induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Method: EPP was extracted and diabetic mice models were established by tail vein injection of STZ (120 mg·kg). Diabetic mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:EPP high dose group, EPP middle dose group, EPP low dose group, model control group, and metformin(10,5,2.5 g·kg-1)group; another 10 healthy mice were considered as normal control group. After the mice were treated with corresponding drugs for 14 days, their fasting blood glucose (FBG), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and malonaldehyde (MDA) levels in serum and liver tissues, as well as lipid metabolism were determined(P<0.05). The pathological changes of pancreas tissues were observed through HE staining. Result: As compared with the model control group, EPP could significantly decrease the blood glucose in STZ-induced diabetic mice and decrease MDA content, but significantly increase the levels of SOD and GSH-Px in serum and liver tissues; reduce the levels of cholesterol (TC, triglyceride (TG), and low density lipoprotein (LDLC) in serum; increase the level of high density lipoprotein (HDLC). In addition, there was an improvement on pathological changes of pancreas in EPP groups. Conclusion: EPP can significantly reduce fasting blood glucose level in diabetic mice induced by STZ, improve the ability of anti-oxidation and lipid metabolism.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the relaxation effects and mechanisms of n-butanolic fraction of Lemonfragrant Angelica Root (LAR) on rat thoracic aorta. Method: Thoracic aortic ring perfusion in isolated ratswas used to observe the effect of n-butanolic fraction on tension changes of aorta rings preshrunk by KCl and norepinephrine (NE). In Ca2+-free kreb's solution, the effects of n-butanolic fraction on Calcium chloride concentration-response curves and the tension changes shrunk by NE were investigated. Confocal laser scanning microscope was used to detect the changes of smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)[Ca2+]i. Result: The n-butanolic fraction of LAR relaxed the KCl and NE-induced contraction of aortic rings, either with or without intact endothelium, in a concentration-dependent manner, and there was no effect on relaxation after after endothelium-denuding. In Ca2+-free solution, n-butanolic fraction of LAR significantly reduced the CaCl2 and NE-induced contraction of aortic rings. Under confocal laser scanning microscope, n-butanolic fraction of LAR (1.22 g·L-1) could inhibit the increase of smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)[Ca2+]i induced by KCl, NE and thapsigargin (TG). Conclusion: n-Butanolic fraction of LAR may relax the tension of aorta rings, probably by inhibiting the influx calcium and calcium release. This study provided evidence for the production techniques of LAR decoction after steam distillation and separating the water-soluble efficacy mark components.

摘要:Objective: To explore the protective effect and mechanism of active components compatibility of ethyl acetate extracts(HE) and fatty oil(HSO) of Herpetospermum caudigerum on immunologic liver injury induced by concanavalin A (ConA) in mice. Method: The 80 mice were randomly divided into 8 groups (n=10), normal group, model group, biphenyl double ester group (positive control), HSO group,HE group, HSO and HE of 1:1, 1:2, 2:1 ratio groups. After ig administration of ethyl acetate extracts,fatty oil and different compatibilities for 8 days in treatment group, the mice were injected with ConA (30 mg·kg-1) through tail vein to establish the model of immunological liver injury. Blood was collected after 8 hours modeling to prepare liver homogenate. Liver and spleen indexes were calculated; the contents of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and nitrogen monoxidum (NO) in serum, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver homogenate were assayed by ELISA; and pathological morphological changes in liver cells were monitored by HE. Result: Ethyl acetate extracts, fatty oil and their combinations of H. caudigerum could decrease liver and indexes, the levels of ALT, AST, NO, MDA and increased SOD activities. Meanwhile, the pathological damage in liver was relieved. As compared with the model group, thefatty oiland ethyl acetate extracts at 2:1 ratio group showed the best effect on immunological liver injury in mice, with significant differences in above indexes. Conclusion: Ethyl acetate extracts compatibility with oil can protect immunological liver injury in mice, and the effect was superior to that of single component. The mechanism may be associated with anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and scavenging oxygen free radical.  
摘要:Objective: To study the Effect of Qianjin Gukang powder on tibia fracture model of rats. Method: Forty male SD rats with weight between 180-220 g, were selected. Except for the 10 rats in normal control group, the rest of 30 rats were injected with 2% pentobarbital sodium for anesthesia. Under aseptic conditions, the left lower limb tibia was cut at about 1 cm below tuberosity with bone shear to make 3 mm-wide and 2 mm-deep bone defect, so as to establish the tibia fracture model. The model rats were randomly divided into three groups, namely model group, and Qianjin Gukang powder low and high-dose groups (0.35, 0.7 g·kg-1). Each group was respectively given drugs, with the dosing volume of 15 mL·kg-1, one time a day, for 21 days in a row. After the final administration, efforts were made to make X-ray imaging for the left tibia, collect blood for blood rheological test, and take the tibia bone scabs parts for histopathological examination. Result: Compared with normal group, model group showed mild callus changes, malposition, significantly increase in blood viscosity, and obvious pathological changes in fracture callus parts. Compared with model group, X-ray imaging showed Qianjin Gukang powder low and high-dose groups could obviously promote the fracture healing (P<0.05,P<0.01), high-dose group could obviously reduce blood viscosity of rat tibia fracture model (P<0.05); both Qianjin Gukang powder low and high-dose groups can significantly transform histopathological changes in callus parts after fracture (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: Qianjin Gukang powder has a certain effect on promoting healing of rat tibia fractures.

Result: Multidimensional retrieving results showed that the core TCM herbs for AIDS mainly included Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata Cum Melle, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Jujubae Fructus, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Astragali Radix, Dioscorea Rhizoma, Codonopsis Radix, Lablab semen Album and other Qi tonifying herbs; Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata and other blood tonifying herbs; Poria, Coicis Semen, Amomi Fructus, Alismatis Rhizoma and other dampness clearing herbs. Core prescriptions included Buzhong Yiqi Tang, Xiangsha Liujuntang, and Shenling Baizhu San. Conclusion: The pathogenesis of HIV/AIDS was shown as Qi-blood deficiency and dampness, so the treatment should be replenishing Qi, invigorating spleen and clearing dampness. The results in complex network analysis method in the scientific research and medical records of this paper were basically consistent with the clinical application.  
摘要:Due to short time delay,good penetration enhancing effect and low toxicity,volatile oil from Chinese medicine have attracted more and more attention of scholars both at home and abroad.In this paper,the skin penetration enhancing effect of volatile oil(used alone,used together with other penetration enhancer,the penetration enhancing effect of their constituents,penetration enhancing mechanism) and their skin penetration effect were reviewed.The problems existing in this area were pointed out,model drugs were mostly chemical drugs,the evaluation indicators were single chemical composition,the guiding role of theory of traditional Chinese medicine was weakened;studies on the penetration material basis,the penetration enhancing mechanism,the penetration enhancing law were very few;studies on the influencing factors in vitro diffusion cell method was not comprehensive.Meanwhile,the research ideas are put forward,which are suitable for Chinese medicine,on the basis of studying the traditional literature,taking classic prescriptions or commonly used drug pairs as the object of study and combination of chemical composition and biological effect as indexes,experiment should be carried out by combination of in vitro diffusion cell and in vivo method.  
摘要:Primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP),which characterizes platelets decreasing, the body bleeding, the skin mucous membrane blood stasising and purple, epistaxis, and visceral hemorrhage, is an autoimmune disease. ITP animal model is the main method of studying the pathogenesis and treatment of ITP, and has played an important role in the study of ITP. Therefore, how to create and close to the clinical animal model is the key issue in the field of ITP research. At present, there are many methods to create the animal model of ITP, such as injecting anti-plateletserum or platelet, transgenic models, Spontaneous immune models, transgenic modeling and other modeling methods. Immunological modeling is the most commonly used method, the experimental animals are mainly mice, commonly used injection is intraperitoneal injection, commonly used immunogen anti-platelet serum, monoclonal/polyclonal antibodies, platelets, spontaneous model and transgenic model use less. In addition disease and syndrome combination models with heat syndrome, Kidney yin deficiency syndrome and syndrome of qi failing to control blood. The research progress of ITP in disease models and model of disease and syndrome combination will be summarized and analyzed in this article,and to provide reference for further study of ITP animal models.

摘要:Autophagy is a vital programmed cell death mode widely existing in the eukaryotic cells. During the process, cytoplasmic proteins and organelles are wrapped by single or double-membrane auto-phagosomes, and then integrated with lysosomes into auto-lysosomes, so as to finally degrade the wrapped content, and achieve self-digestion and organelles renewal. Autophagy gets involved in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes and closely related to tumorigenesis. Under normal circumstances, autophagy could clear misfolded proteins and organelles, leading to the suppression of stress reaction and downregulation of cancer incidence. However, although autophagy is primarily a protective metabolic pathway for cells, it can also promote tumor viability by degrading abnormal proteins and organelles in cancer cells. In recent years, more and more experimental evidences have indicated that active components of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), like alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and cardiac glycosides, could induce autophagy of tumour cells. In this review, based on active components of TCM medicine and molecular mechanisms of autophagy in cancer cells, we summarize the research progress of autophagy induced by TCM, in order to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of tumour with TCM.

摘要:To sort out and summarize the relevant literature on the protection mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) active ingredients with the neuroprotective effects. TCM active ingredients, nervous system disease, neuroprotective effects were used as the keywords to search for the relevant literature on internal and abroad studies of neuroprotective mechanism in recent years, and then the analysis was conducted. The results showed that TCM active ingredients could suppress the neurotoxicity(against the nerve damage of Amyloid β -peptide and excitatory amino acids, improve the acetylcholine protection), the levels of inflammation (reduce the level of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha and gamma interferon)and oxidative stress damage(increase the activity of Superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, lower the level of malondialdehyde), inhibit the cellular proliferation and apoptosis(increase the apoptosis protein expression of Bcl-2, decrease the apoptosis protein expression of Bax), promote angiogenesis(raise angiotensin 1 and the expression of specific tyrosine kinase receptor Tie-2) and nerve growth repair(promote the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor and chemokines cell matrix derived factor-1) that the mechanisms had neuroprotective effects. This research through the summary and analysis that explore new research ideas and the selection of drugs for nervous system disease of the nerve protective effect to offer new drug development and clinical treatment.
