摘要:Objective: To find out the serum metabolic markers of Youguiwan (YGP) in the treatment of kidney-Yang deficiency syndrome (KYDS),and to further explore the regulatory role of medicinal herbs (the Yang-tonifying herbs,the Yin-tonifying herbs and the blood-tonifying herbs) with different properties in YGP on the metabolic markers. Method: We used proton hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) to study on the serum metabonomics of KYDS rats treated by YGP,and combined with pattern recognition to analyze the changes of serum metabolites,thereby finding the metabolic markers of YGP in the treatment of KYDS. At the same time,a mathematical model was established by support vector regression (SVR) to analyze and predict the influence of dose changes of medicinal herbs with different properties in YGP on the metabolic markers.Further exploration of which metabolites were regulated by medicinal herbs with different properties in YGP,and the mechanism of action of YGP was preliminary investigated. Result: Twenty-two metabolic markers were identified,including amino acid metabolism (leucine,valine,arginine,alanine,methionine,glutamate,glutamine,threonine,tyrosine and taurine),glucose metabolism (lactate,acetate and β-glucose),energy metabolism (glycerol,creatine and myo-inositol),gut metabolism[betaine/trimetlylamine oxide (TMAO)],lipid metabolism[very-low density lipoprotein (VLDL),low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)] and glycoprotein[N-acetyl glucoside (NAG)].Furthermore,using SVR analysis and prediction,we found that the Yang-tonifying herbs mainly acted on HDL and betaine/TMAO;the Yin-tonifying herbs primarily acted on LDL/VLDL,NAG and leucine;while the blood-tonifying herbs chiefly played a role in creatine,glutamate,lactic acid,methionine,myo-inositol and glycerol. Conclusion: The serum metabonomics based on 1H-NMR can find metabolic markers of KYDS,and the mechanism of action of KYDS regulated by medicinal herbs with different properties in YGP can be further revealed by integrating with SVR.

Conclusion: Compared with Ce6 solution,Ce6 liposomes has a more slowly metabolic clearance in vivo,and it distributes more rapidly and widely,it also can selectively assemble in liver and tumor tissue,liposomal formulations of Ce6 may be further developed for the treatment of liver cancer.  
摘要:Objective: To study the effect and mechanism of Xiaoai Jiedu decoction combined with cisplatin in inhibiting tumor growth of 4T1 tumor bearing mice. Method: BALB/c mice were subcutaneously inoculated with 4T1 breast cancer cells to establish the tumor bearing model. They were treated with cisplatin (CDDP, 2 mg·kg-1) and Xiaoai Jiedu decoction (XJF, 1×104 mg·kg-1) respectively, and the combination therapy. Body weight and tumor volume were quantified and recorded during drug treatment. The mice were put to death after 15 days, and tumor masses were stripped and weighed. The inhibition rate was calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes of heart, liver, spleen, kidney and tumor. The apoptosis of tumor cells was observed by TdT-mediated-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining, and the apoptosis rate was counted. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2 related X protein(Bax), lysine-specific demethylase 1(LSD1), Histone H3, Histone H3K4me2 and Histone H3K9me2 in tumor tissues. Result: Compared with model group, the body weight of mice in the cisplatin group decreased, and the mice in the combined group had a higher body weight than those in cisplatin group (P<0.01). The combination therapy can further reduce the volume of transplanted tumor, improve the tumor inhibition rate, and promote the apoptosis rate of tumor cells significantly compared with cisplatin therapy (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of Bcl-2 in tumor tissues was up-regulated, and Bax was up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). Each drug group could down regulate the protein expression of LSD1, and increase the methylation of histone H3K4 and H3K9, and the combination group showed the most significant effect on the protein expression (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: Xiaoai Jiedu prescription combined with cisplatin can obviously inhibit the growth of 4T1 tumor in tumor bearing mice. Its mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of histone demethylation enzyme level.  
摘要:Objective: To study the active mechanism of Yiyi Fuzi Baijiang San in treating ulcerative colitis in antioxidant stress signal pathway. Method: Sixty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups, normal group, model group, Mesalazine group, and low, medium and high-dose Yiyi Fuzi Baijiang San groups. Except for the normal group, the other groups of mice were included in the acute ulcerative colitis model. At the 3rd day of modeling, low, medium and high-dose Yiyi Fuzi Baijiang San groups were given liquid Chinese medicine with doses of 5.24, 10.48, 20.96 g·kg-1. The Mesalazine drug group was treated with 0.82 g·kg-1 of mesalazine solution. Normal group and model group were intragastrically given the same volume of double distilled water. A course of treatment was 7 days. Weight changes, stool traits and fecal occult blood of the mice were observed, and the disease activity index (DAI) score curve was drawn for each group of mice. The mice were put to death on the 10th day of the experiment; colon tissues were taken for hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining and HI scoring; the contents of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in intestinal tissues were measured; and the expression of Nrf2 and hemeoxygenase (HO)-1 protein in colon tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method. The changes in Nrf2 mRNA expression in tissues were detected by RT-PCR. Result: Compared with the model group, the DAI score of the drug-treated mice decreased significantly (P<0.05), the histological structure of the intestinal mucosa was survived, and the HI score decreased significantly (P<0.05). The content of T-SOD in the model group was significantly lower (P<0.05), and significantly higher in the drug groups (P<0.05); the content of MDA in the model group was significantly higher (P<0.05) and decreased in the drug group (P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of Nrf2 was significantly increased in the drug-treated groups compared with the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of HO-1 in the low-dose group was not significantly different. High-dose group was significantly higher (P<0.05). RT-PCR detection of Nrf2 mRNA expression found that compared with the model group, high-dose group showed a high expression (P<0.05). Conclusion: Yiyi Fuzi Baijiang San can up-regulate the expression of Nrf2.Its downstream antioxidant protein HO-1 can increase the Nrf2 mRNA expression and have a therapeutic effect on ulcerative colitis.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of Youguiyin, a representative decoction of tonifying kidney yang, in the rats with bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis. Method: A total of 25 SPF male rats were divided into five groups by the method of random number table, namely normal group, model group, as well as Youguiyin high, medium and low dose groups, with 5 rats in each group. Pulmonary fibrosis models were established by intratracheal injections of bleomycin(5 mg·kg-1), and the rats were treated with high, medium and low doses (20, 10, 5 g·kg-1) of Youguiyin for 14 days from day 15 after modeling. Then the inspiratory resistance (Ri), expiratory resistance (Re), lung compliance (Cdyn), forced vital capacity (FVC), 0.4 second rate (FEV0.4/FVC%), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), and maximum mid expiratory flow velocity (MMF) were tested by animal lung function instrument, and FVC/lung weight were calculated; the weights of organs were recorded and the organ coefficient was calculated. The pH values of abdominal aorta (pH), oxygen partial pressure (PO2), carbon dioxide pressure (PCO2), oxygen saturation (SO2) were detected by blood gas analyzer. Renin, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) levels in serum were measured with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Histopathological abnormalities in left lungs were evaluated by Masson's trichrome stain. Result: As compared with the normal group, intratracheal injection of 5 mg·kg-1 bleomycin can significantly increase the lung weight and lung coefficient (P< 0.05), decrease Cdyn, FVC and FVC/lung weight (P< 0.05), increase Ri (P< 0.05), increase FEV0.4/FVC% (P< 0.05), increase PCO2 in abdominal aortic blood (P< 0.05), decrease PO2 and SO2 significantly (P< 0.05), and increase PGE2 levels in serum (P< 0.05) of SD rats. Pathological examination of lung tissues showed large area of consolidation in lung tissue of model rats, and those lung tissues with consolidation were mostly formed by the non-fibrosis area with abnormal cell proliferation and fibrosis area with a large number of extracellular matrix deposition. As compared with the model group, Youguiyin medium dose group decreased the lung weight significantly (P<0.05), increased Cydn, FVC and FVC/lung (P<0.05), decreased Ri and FEV0.4/FVC% (P<0.05), decreased PGE2 levels (P< 0.05); while PO2 and SO2 levels in arterial blood were significantly increased in high dose group (P<0.05). Pathological examination showed Youguiyin can inhibit chronic inflammatory infiltration from pulmonary consolidation to normally aerated lung parenchyma. Conclusion: Youguiyin could improve the pulmonary function of model rats, which may be associated with lowing PGE2 in serum, inhibiting the diffusion of chronic inflammatory infiltration, and delaying pulmonary fibrosis.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the effects of erigerontis herba and paeoniae radix rubra formula (Xinshao formula) on the metabolic activity of main subtypes (CYP1a2, CYP2d22, CYP2e1 and CYP3a11) of cytochrome P450s (CYP450) in mice liver and explore its mechanism. Method: Mice were randomly divided into normal group, phenobarbital group (70 mg·kg-1), and low-, middle-, high-dose Xinshao formula groups (0.31, 0.62, 1.25 g crude drug·kg-1). After administration, the livers of mice were used to prepare microsomes to determine the metabolic activities of CYP1a2, CYP2d22, CYP2e1 and CYP3a11.The mRNA and protein expression levels of these four CYP450 enzymes and pregnane X receptor (PXR) in liver tissue of mice were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot. The effect of Xinshao formula on the activation of PXR was estimated by reporter gene assay. Result: As compared with the normal group, Xinshao formula could induce the enzyme activity of CYP3a11, up-regulate the mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP3a11 and PXR, and activate PXR (P<0.05,P<0.01). As compared with the model group, middle and high dose Xinshao formula could inhibit CYP1a2 activity (P<0.05), but had no significant effect on the mRNA and protein expression levels of CYP1a2; while Xinshao formula had no significant effects on the activities and the expressions of CYP2e1 and CYP2d22. Conclusion: Xinshao formula could induce enzyme activity of CYP3a11, and the mechanism may be associated with up-regulating PXR expression, activating PXR and promoting CYP3a11 expression. Xinshao formula also could decrease the CYP1a2 activity, but it was not related to regulation of CYP1a2 expression, and the mechanism needs a further study.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the protective effect and mechanism of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate(MgIG) on liver injury induced by paclitaxel. Method: Normal human hepatocytes LO2 were used as the research object and were divided into blank group and MgIG groups (2.5, 5, 10,20 mg·L-1). Methylthiazoletetrazolium(MTT) assay was used to detect the effect of different concentrations of paclitaxel on injuries of LO2 cells and effect of MgIG on LO2 cell viability. Then the effect of MgIG on LO2 cell injuries induced by paclitaxel was detected, with aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and other indexes to detect the degree of LO2 injuries by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay(ELISA). The effect of MgIG on cell cycle and apoptosis of LO2 cells was detected by flow cytometer. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of apoptosis related protein. Result: As compared with blank group, 1 mg·L-1 paclitaxel had obvious inhibitory effect on the proliferation of LO2 cells(P<0.01); 5, 10, 20 mg·L-1 MgIG had certain effect on promoting the proliferation of LO2 cells(P<0.05,P<0.01), but had no significant effect on the cell morphology; 5, 10, 20 mg·L-1 MgIG can reduce the damage of paclitaxel on LO2 cells(P<0.05, P<0.01);5, 10, 20 mg·L-1 MgIG can reduce apoptosis related protein and G2/M arrest in LO2 cells induced by paclitaxel(P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion: MgIG can effectively reverse the LO2 damage induced by paclitaxel in vitro, and the mechanism may be related to the intervention on cell cycle and the depression on paclitaxel-induced apoptosis of liver cells.

摘要:Objective: To understand the druggability of dichroa alkali salt (DAS) as an antimalarial drug by investigating its antimalarial efficacy and toxicity characteristics. Method: The animal models of malaria were established by inoculating strains of the parasite in an antimalarial experiment in vivo. The model mice received drugs by intragastric administration, once daily, for 4 d. Blood from the caudal vein was dynamically collected for blood smear. Giemsa staining assay was used to observe the negative conversion and revival of parasite under a microscope in each group. Finally, negative conversion ratio, anti-revival ratio, and 50% effective dose (ED50) were calculated. ICR mice were used to study the acute toxicity of DAS, observe their general state, diarrhea and death. 50% diarrhea dose (DD50) and 50% lethal dose (LD50) were calculated, while hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of the main organs. Result: The antimalarial experimental results showed that DAS was effective in antimalarial treatment at a lower dose, with an ED50 of 0.6 mg·kg-1 and a 95% confidence interval of 0.5 to 0.7 mg·kg-1, but no obvious effect was observed in anti-revival. The acute toxicity experiment of mice showed that after DAS was given, the mice activities were decreased, the behavior was sluggish, and the hair color was dull; the mice were in fear of cold, with poor food and water intake. Diarrhea was found in the mice with mild toxic degree, and hematochezia and death were even found in those with severe toxic degree; DD50 was 7.9 mg·kg-1, with 95% confidence interval of 6.3-10.0 mg·kg-1; LD50 was 10.8 mg·kg-1, with 95% confidence interval of 8.5-13.8 mg·kg-1. The general anatomy results showed that the stomach of mice in treatment group was obviously extended, with atrophy in spleen and cecum, and swill like changes in intestinal contents. HE staining showed that the liver, spleen, stomach and cecum had different degrees of histopathological injury. With DD50 and LD50 as the indicators, the therapeutic index (TI) of DAS was calculated as 13.17 and 18.00 respectively. Conclusion: DAS is effective but toxic for malaria at an even lower dose, with narrow safe dose window.

摘要:In recent years,targeted drug delivery system based on drug receptors and transporters has been extensively studied.Targeted drug delivery system could enhance the concentration and efficacy of drugs in the lesion site,also could minimize the side effects of drugs.The specific membrane lectin receptors of a number of cells,glucose transporter I located at the brain microvascular endothelial cells and cancer cells could be specifically recognized by its corresponding glycosyl ligands.Drug delivery system which was glycosylated modified with mannose,galactose or glucose ligands has gained targeting properties.These glycosyl ligands exhibiting non-toxicity,biodegradability and biocompatibility,have been widely used in the glycosylated modification of drug delivery system.The targeting mechanisms,synthesis methods and their targeted ability of glycosylated modified drug delivery systems are summarized,and also a brief prospect is given in this review.

摘要:By reviewing the papersonpheretima in recent years, the latest research progresses on the identification of cultivars, quality control of medicine, chemical constituents, pharmacological effects and artificial breeding were summarized in this paper.According to the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia records,pheretima includes Pheretima aspergillum, P. vulgaris, P.guillelmi and P.pectinifera.The present study showed that mitochondrial COⅠ and 16S rDNA gene of pheretima were used as DNA bar code to identify the pheretimacultivars. X-ray differaction Fourier patternand 12S rRNA gene in mitochondria were used as molecular markers to identifycultivars.The identification methods needed further research. A variety of methods have been established for controlling the quality of medicine, including the HPLC fingerprint of pheretima, the characteristic map of high performance capillary electrophoresis, the enzyme activity as an index to evaluate the quality of medicine and the quality evaluation ofmedicine by the gray relational degree model.The main chemical composition of pheretimainclude protein, amino acids, enzymes, lipids, trace elements, nucleotides and others. Its main pharmacological effects includeantiasthma, antihypertensive,antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, anti-tumor, enhancing immunity and so on.The main active ingredients of pheretima include protein, enzyme, amino acid, trace elements and so on.In some pharmacological actions, the active ingredients andmechanism of actionare stillunclear, so further research is needed.The artificial breeding of pheretima has rarely been reported; its breeding technology has not yet been refined,and the standardized artificial breeding technology is still in its exploration stage.The research onpheretima is still insufficient,with broad prospects for research and development. This paper may provide a reference for the further research on pheretima.

摘要:Rhei Radix et Rhizoma is one of the most common traditional Chinese medicines. It has rich resources in China and was earliest recorded in Shennong's Herbal Classic. Among Rhei Radix et Rhizoma,only Rheum palmatum,R. tanguticum and R. officinale are used as medical materials and are commonly used in clinical application. It is recorded to possess the efficacy of eliminating heat and purging internal heat,cooling blood and detoxifying, dissipating blood stasis and promoting blood circulation, as well as removing dampness and relieving jaundice. The anthraquinone components in Rhei Radix et Rhizoma are 9,10-anthraquinone and the hydroxyls are distributed on two-sided benzene rings. Anthraquinones can be divided into anthraquinone and bianthraquinone according to the structure of the mother nucleus. There are about 50 reported anthraquinone components,consisting of 34 anthraquinones and 16 bianthraquinones. Anthraquinones,as an important component in Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, have broad effects of anti-inflammatory,anti-tumor,protecting cardiovascular system,liver and lung,improving brain injury and treating renal fibrosis. By referring to relevant papers at home and abroad,the researches on chemical and pharmacological effects of anthraquinones from Rhei Radix et Rhizoma in the last decade were summarized and the prospects of research and development were also analyzed for further study and comprehensive utilization of these anthraquinones. In the future, the further researches on anthraquinones and their derivatives should be done to lay a foundation for the rational application and development of new drugs with good clinical curative effect.
