摘要:Objective: To establish the grade evaluation standard for Buleuri Radix decoction pieces,and provide theoretical basis for building the grade standard for root and rhizome regular shape Chinese medicinal decoction pieces. Method: Compound quality constant is a comprehensive grade evaluation method for traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces,which is based on but even better than a traditional way. This method was based on the quality constant,where the internal index and appearance character of Buleuri Radix decoction pieces were combined effectively by investigating the appearance character,volatile oil,extracts,saikosaponin a and d contents in traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces. In this way, the evaluation method of compound quality constant was constructed to perfect and establish the grade standard of Buleuri Radix decoction pieces. Result: Twenty batches of different quality samples were collected and tested,and finally,19 qualified batches of them were chosen as researcher objects. The results revealed that the range of the compound quality constant of these samples was from 1.616 to 8.414 and Buleuri Radix decoction pieces could be divided into three grades:the compound quality constant of first grade was ≥ 7.871;the second grade was <7.871 but ≥ 5.602;while the third grade was <5.602. Conclusion: Compound quality constant can be used to scientifically,objectively and reasonably classify the decoction pieces,solve the problems existing in the relative quality constant evaluation methods,and provide a new method and a new model for the classification of multi-indicator components in traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces, as well as a beneficial reference for further establishing and perfecting the comprehensive quality evaluation system of Buleuri Radix decoction pieces.  
摘要:In this study,ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem three four quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Triple-TOF-MS) was used to discriminate three isomers(congmunosides VI,Ⅶ and B) in Aralia elata. Through the analysis of MS2 spectra of[M+Na]+(CE=90 eV) on congmunosides VI and Ⅶ (1 and 2),both produced the same fragmentation ion peaks at m/z 981.498 2[Y0α+Na]+,819.439 1[Y0α-Glc+Na]+,527.161 4[C3β+Na]+,509.150 4[B3β+Na]+and 365.105 7[C3β-Glc+Na]+,while the MS2 spectrum of congmunoside B (3) of[M+Na]+(CE=90 eV) produced two different characteristic fragmentation ion peaks of m/z 671.198 2 and 689.208 7,corresponding to the[B4β+Na]+and[C4β+Na]+. Thus,the structure of congmunoside B(3) could be effectively distinguished with other two isomers of saponins(1 and 2) via[B4β+Na]+and[C4β+Na]+ions. Through the further analysis MS2 spectrum of[M+NH4]+and[M+H]+(CE=40 eV) for congmunosides Ⅵ and Ⅶ(1 and 2) yielded same ions at m/z 455.350 7 and 437.341 2,belonging to the[A-H2O+H]+and[A-2H2O+H]+. The aglycone of congmunoside Ⅵ(1) was echinocystic acid with the ion intensity ratio of[A+H-2H2O]+(m/z 437.34) to[A+H-H2O]+(m/z 455.35) ascribed to<1.The aglycone of congmunoside Ⅶ(2) was hederagenin with the ion intensity ratio of[A+H-2H2O]+(m/z 437.34) to[A+H-H2O]+(m/z 455.35) ascribed to >1.Based on the above fragmentations of[M+NH4]+and[M+H]+ions,congmunosides Ⅵ and Ⅶ(1 and 2) could be further distinguished. The study results demonstrated that three isomers from A. elata could be distinguished rapidly,easily and accurately by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the pollution and distribution characteristics of heavy metals in different parts of Rosa roxburghii. Method: The contents of heavy metals in different parts of R. roxburghii were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy and atomic fluorescence spectrometer. Then the contents of heavy metals were evaluated by using bioconcentration factors(BCF)method,pollution index method,and correlation analysis. Result: The standard curves of Pb,As,Hg and Cd (heavy metals) were Y=373.54X-2.168 7(0-100 μg·L-1),Y=120.184X+1.626(0-100 μg·L-1),Y=742.222X-16.301(0-2 μg·L-1),and Y=0.023 3X+0.017 9(0-10 μg·L-1)respectively(r ≥ 0.999). Among 131 samples of R. roxburghii (including 15 batches of root,48 batches of stem,48 batches of leaf,and 20 batches of fruit),25 batches of samples exceeded the standard of heavy metals based on the limits of heavy metals in Green Standards of Medicinal Plants and Preparations for Foreign Trade and Economy(WM/T2-2004), including 16 batches of Cd,4 batches of Hg,4 batches of Pb and 1 batch of As. The single factor pollution index of heavy metals was Cd>Pb>Hg>As. The comprehensive pollution index in different parts of R. roxburghii was root > stem > leaf > fruit. The average BCF was Cd > Hg > Pb≈As. The average contents of heavy metals (Pb,As,Hg,and Cd) in 45 batches of soil samples in R. roxburghii base were all lower than the limit values in Grade Ⅱ national standard for soils,complying with the requirements on the limit values of heavy metals in base soils for the cultivation of Chinese herbal medicines. Conclusion: The Cd pollution of R. roxburghii mainly comes from soil,while Hg,Pb,and As may be related to atmospheric deposition and agricultural activities.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the underlying mechanism of the total flavonoids from Jinhe Yangxin prescription (FJYP) on myocardial ischemia (MI) injury induced by isoproterenol (ISO) in mice. Method: Totally 108 SPF KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, positive group (propranolol hydrochloride, 33 mg·kg-1), high-dose FJYP group (4.4 g·kg-1), middle-dose FJYP group (2.2 g·kg-1), and low-dose FJYP group (1.1 g·kg-1). All mice were administrated with drugs for 7 days, except for the blank group. All mice were injected subcutaneously with ISO on the 5th, 6th and 7th day to establish the MI model. The electrocardiogram test was conducted in anesthetized mice before the first injection and after the final injection with ISO. The heart weight index (HWI) was determined. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride(TTC)staining was performed to determine the area of MI. Creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK-MB), cardiac troponin I(cTnI), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), superoxide dismutase(SOD), malondialdehyde(MDA), interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and IL-1β levels in serum were measured using commercial kits, and the pathological changes of myocardial tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression levels of nucleotide binding oligomeric domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3), apoptosis related speckle(ASC), Caspase-1. Result: Compared with the blank group, ST-segment was significantly elevated in model group (P<0.01). The heart weight index, CK-MB, cTnI, ALT, AST, LDH, MDA, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in serum were significantly increased, and serum SOD activity was significantly decreased (P<0.01); the MI area was increased (P<0.01). The expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 were all increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, FJYP could effectively decrease the change of ST-segment (P<0.05, P<0.01). The heart weight index, CK-MB, cTnI, ALT, AST, LDH, MDA, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β and the MI area of mice decreased, while the serum SOD content increased (P<0.05,P<0.01); and the pathological damages induced by ISO were significantly alleviated in FJYP treatment group; and the expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 were also decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: FJYP plays a protective role in myocardial ischemia in mice, the protective effect and mechanism may be related to increase of antioxidant ability, reduction of oxidant damage and inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the anti-atherosclerotic mechanism of emodin from Polygonum multiflori Radix Praeparata and the effect of Janus kinase 2(JAK2)/signal transduction and activator of transcription 3(STAT3) signaling pathway, and its related factor suppressor of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3). Method: Eighty male ApoE-/-mice were randomly divided into 8 groups:emodin high, middle, and low dose groups(40,20,10 mg·kg-1), model group, positive control group(Xuezhikang,200 mg·kg-1), negative control group(tween-80,4 mg·kg-1), normal control group, and middle dose of emodin+AG490 group (DA group). In addition to the normal control group, the remaining 7 groups were fed with high-fat diet and subcutaneously injected with lipopolysaccharide, then stopped after 9 weeks. Mice were dosed on the 10th week and sacrificed 6 weeks later. The contents of JAK2, p-JAK2, STAT3, p-STAT3 and SOCS3 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The thoracic aorta was stained by hematoxylin and eosin(HE). The expression of JAK2, STAT3 and SOCS3 mRNA was detected by Real-time PCR. Result: Compared with the model group, SOCS3 content increased (P<0.01), p-JAK2, and p-STAT3 levels decreased(P<0.01) in the emodin high-and middle-dose group, and there was increased in low-dose (P<0.05). There was no change in STAT3,JAK2. The effect of DA in each index was not as good as that in moderate dose group (P<0.01), but the relative expression of STAT3 in middle dose group was significantly different from that in DA group (P<0.05). The trend of SOCS3 gene expression in each group was increased to that detected by Real-time PCR and the results of JAK2 and STAT3 gene expression were decreased.Under the HE staining microscope, high and middle doses of emodin can effectively delay the formation of atherosclerotic plaque, but the effect of low dose is not obvious. Conclusion: Emodin can significantly affect the development of atherosclerotic lesions in ApoE-/- mice. This mechanism may be related to the inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

摘要:Objective: To observe the effect of Shihu compound(SC)on expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in renal tissues of db/db diabetic mice. Method: The 11-12 week old male db/db mice, were randomly divided into model group, glipizide treatment group, low and high dose SC groups, and db/m normal control group according to fasting blood glucose and body mass. Intragastric administration was given for 8 weeks. Body weight and 24 hours urinary protein quantitation in mice were detected; the pathological changes of renal tissues were observed by optical microscope. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and kidney tissue of mice; immunohistochemical staining and Western bolt were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in renal tissue. Result: SC can significantly reduce the body weight (P<0.05, P<0.01) and 24 h urinary protein (P<0.05, P<0.01) in db/db mice. Hematoxylin and eosin(HE) staining results showed that the volume of glomerulus was increased, mesangial matrix was increased, mesangial area was widened and vacuolar degeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells was obvious in model group. As compared with the model group, the glomerular basement membrane was thinner, the proliferation of mesangial cells was decreased, the extracellular matrix was decreased, and the renal tubule structure was basically recovered to a normal condition. The results of immunohistochemistry, ELISA and Western bolt showed that the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the model group were increased significantly as compared with the normal group (P<0.01); as compared with the model group, the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in each treatment group were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), but still higher than those in the normal group. Conclusion: SC can alleviate the inflammatory reaction in kidney tissues and improve the renal damage in db/db mice by decreasing the expression of TNF-α and IL-6, thereby slowing down the progress of diabetic nephropathy.

The inhibition rate of the group of 0.064 g·L-1in L-OHP combined with 5%SBS serum was the highest or (94.95±0.90)%. ② Cell cycle results showed that the distributions of HCT116 cells were all increased in G2/M phase, which were transferred from G0/G1,S and G2/M phases to G2/M phase after the combined administration of low, medium and high-dose oxaliplatin (0.002, 0.004, 0.008 g·L-1) with 5%SBS serum respectively, and the high-dose oxaliplatin combined 5%SBS serum was the most significant (P<0.05). ③Apoptosis results showed that the apoptosis of HCT116 cells could be induced by low, medium and high-dose oxaliplatin before and after being combined with 5%SBS serum respectively (P<0.05), and the high-dose combination group showed the highest apoptosis rate or (24.97 ±2.45)%. ④ WB results showed that compared with the 5%blank serum group, the expression of Bax protein was significantly up-regulated after the combined administration of low, medium and high-dose L-OHP with 5%SBS respectively (P<0.05). Compared with blank serum group and blank control group, the expression of Bcl-2 protein in each drug group was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the high-dose combination group showed the lowest expression. Conclusion: SBS could inhibit the proliferation and apoptosis of HCT116 cell lines when being combined with oxaliplatin. The mechanism may be achieved by inhibiting the proliferation, inducing the cell apoptosis, changing the cell cycle distribution, up-regulating the Bax protein expression and down-regulating the Bcl-2 protein expression.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the effects of capsaicin on the migration and invasion of hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells and explore its possible molecular mechanism. Method: Different concentrations of capsaicin groups and blank group were established, and the cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 method 24 h after capsaicin (0,25,50,75,100,150,200,250 μmol·L-1) treatment on hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells. The effect of capsaicin (0,50,75,100 μmol·L-1) on cell migration and invasion ability of SMMC-7721 cells was detected by transwell. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression levels of E-cadherin, Vimentin, matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in cells treated with capsaicin(0,50,75,100 μmol·L-1)for 24 h. Result: As compared with the blank group, capsaicin(25,50,75,100 μmol·L-1)had no significant effect on cell survival rates after 24 h, and starting from 150 μmol·L-1, the cell survival rate was gradually decreased as the concentration of capsaicin was gradually increased (P<0.01), showing a dose-dependent effect. As compared with the blank group, capsaicin(50,75,100 μmol·L-1)intervention significantly inhibited migration and invasion of hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.01). As compared with the blank control group, capsaicin(50,75,100 μmol·L-1)intervention significantly up-regulated the E-cadherin protein expression level in SMMC-7721 cells (P<0.01), down-regulated Vimentin, MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein expression levels (P<0.01). Conclusion: Capsaicin can inhibit the migration and invasion of hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells, and the mechanism may be related to up-regulating the expression of E-cadherin and down-regulating the expressions of Vimentin, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in SMMC-7721 cells.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the effect of curcumol combined with 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) on the proliferation, apoptosis and the changes in the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) in colorectal carcinoma cell line LoVo. Method: LoVo cells were treated with curcumol (50 mg·L-1) and/or 5-Fu (2 mg·L-1). The proliferation of LoVo cells were detected by methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT)assay. The apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometer. The changes in PCNA and Bcl-2 expressions were detected by Western blot. Result: Curcumol, 5-Fu and combination group could inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of LoVo cells. The rates of inhibition and apoptosis were significantly different from control group (P<0.05). And the expressions of PCNA and Bcl-2 were obviously decreased, with a significant difference from control group (P<0.05). After combined treatment, the promoting effect of apoptosis was more obvious than single treatment group (P<0.05), and the expressions of PCNA and Bcl-2 protein were significantly decreased, with a significant difference from control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Curcumol combined with 5-Fu could effectively inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of LoVo cells. Compared with the single treatment group, the combination of curcumol and 5-Fu can increase the sensitivity of cancer cells and greatly promote the apoptosis of LoVo cells. These mechanisms may be related to the down-regulation of PCNA and Bcl-2 protein expressions.

摘要:Objective: To study on the spectrum-effect relationship between UPLC fingerprint and anti-inflammatory of different extracts of Chuanxiong Rhizoma,in order to determine the active ingredients of this herb and describe its network regulatory mechanism. Method: UPLC-Q-TOF/MS was used to analyze the components in 8 different extracts of Chuanxiong Rhizoma.The anti-inflammatory effect of extracts was investigated by human bronchial epithelial cells.The spectrum-effect relationship was established by grey correlation analysis(GRA) and partial least squares repression analysis(PLSR).Molecular docking technology was adopted to predict the targets of active components in Chuanxiong Rhizoma,and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) database was employed to analyze the pathways in order to explain the anti-inflammatory mechanism of this herb. Result: The 95% ethanol extract,75% ethanol extract,50% ethanol extract,25% ethanol extract,crystal,ligarine extract and chloroform extract all had anti-inflammatory effect on inflammatory cells,and 95% ethanol extract of Chuanxiong Rhizoma was the strongest.Three anti-inflammatory components were senkyunolide A,Z-ligustilide and neocnidilide.Z-ligustilide may inhibit the expression of downstream proteins by inhibiting the signal transduction to play anti-inflammatory effect through cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2),extracellular regulated protein kinase 2(EKR2),protein kinase C(PKC),Janus kinase 1(JAK1),JAK2,JAK3,nuclear transcription factor-кB inhibitory protein kinase β(IKKβ) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α);but signal channels of senkyunolide A and neocnidilide were COX-2,EKR2,PKC,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-α(PI3K-α),PI3K-γ,JAK1,JAK2,JAK3,IKKβ and TNF-α. Conclusion: Senkyunolide A,Z-ligustilide and neocnidilide are active components with anti-inflammatory effect in Chuanxiong Rhizoma.They may inhibit the expression of downstream proteins by inhibiting the signal transduction to play anti-inflammatory effect through different targets,which reveals the main active components,targets and mechanism of Chuanxiong Rhizoma and provides a reference for further study of its pharmacological role.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy and part of mechanism of Duhuo Jisheng Tang combined with acupuncture in the treatment of wind cold dampness type knee osteoarthritis (KOA), in order to provide reference for clinical application. Method: Totally 91 patients with KOA were randomly divided into observation group (49 cases) and control group (42 cases). The control group was given gluconosulfate capsules, 0.5 g/time, 3 times/days. While the observation group was treated with Duhuo Jisheng Tang, 150 mL/time, 2 times/days, and the patients were treated with acupuncture at the knee. The course of treatment was 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, the changes in knee joint visual analogue scale (VAS), Xi'an Ontario McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score, self-made knee swelling score and comprehensive efficacy and treatment response score were observed, Real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR-4) and myeloid factor (MyD88) in synovial fluid of both groups before and after treatment, and the recurrence rates at 3rd and 6th months between both groups were compared. Result: After treatment, VAS, WOMAC, TCM symptom score, self-made knee swelling score and comprehensive efficacy, treatment response score of the two groups of patients were lower than before treatment. Compared with control group, the score was lower in observation group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The expressions of TLR-4 and MyD88 mRNA in the synovial fluid of two groups were lower than those in control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of observation group, the recurrence rate at 3rd and 6th months were lower than those of control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion: Duhuo Jisheng Tang combined with acupuncture has a good efficacy in the treatment of wind cold dampness type KOA, with a low recurrence rate. The mechanism of action may be correlated with the blocking of the TLR-4/MyD88 signaling pathway and the inhibition of the expression of metabolic factors in the downstream chondrocytes and the expression of inflammatory factors.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the efficacy of Duhuo Jisheng Tang combined with warm acupuncture in treating patients with wind-cold dampness-type knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and explore its effect on serum pain mediators, inflammatory mediators and leukotrienes. Method: The 94 patients with wind-cold dampness-type KOA were randomly divided into control group (30 cases), Duhuo Jisheng Tang group (34 cases), and the combined group (30 cases). The control group was given with glucosamine sulfate capsules 0.5 g/time, tid by oral administration. The patients in Duhuo Jisheng Tang group received Duhuo Jisheng Tang 150 mL/times, bid by oral administration. And the combined group additionally received warm acupuncture on the basis of Duhuo Jisheng Tang. The course of treatment was 4 weeks in all groups. The knee joint visual analogue scale (VAS), self-made knee joint swelling score and total effective rate were observed both before and after treatment; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum pain mediators[prostaglandin E2(PGE2), substance P (SP), dopamine(DA), 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)], inflammatory mediators[tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β)]and leukotrienes[leukotriene (LT)B4, LTC4, LTD4]in all groups. Result: After treatment, the VAS scores, knee swelling scores and the efficacy for pain in combined group were significantly higher than those in control group and Duhuo Jisheng Tang group (P<0.05). As compared with control group, the levels of serum PGE2, SP, DA, 5-HT, TNF-α, IL-1β and allogeneic leukotrienes we lower in the Duhuo Jisheng Tang group and combined group (P<0.05). The decreases in levels of serum PGE2, SP, DA, 5-HT, TNF-α, IL-1β, LTB4, LTC4 and LTD4 in combined group were more obvious than those in Duhuo Jisheng Tang group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion: Warm acupuncture combined with Duhuo Jisheng Tang could effectively treat the knee joint pain for wind-cold dampness-type KOA, and the mechanism may be related to the reduction of LTB4, LTC4, LTD4 and inflammatory mediators.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the changes of serum lysine and β-cryptoxantin in patients with hepatorenal deficiency type knee osteoarthritis treated with Duhuo Jisheng Tang and its correlation with pain. Method: Totally 73 KOA patients diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomly divided into observation group (42 cases) and control group (31 cases). The observation group was orally given Duhuo Jisheng Tang, 150 mL/times, 2 times/d, while the control group was orally given glucosamine sulfate, 0.5 g/times, 3 times/d. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The knee joint visual analogue scale (VAS) and tenderness value were used to evaluate the changes of pain before and after treatment. Serum levels of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), substance P (SP), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The content of lysine was detected by automatic amino acid analyzer, and the content of serum β-cryptoxantin was determined by HPLC. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between lysine, β-cryptoxanthin and VAS scores, tenderness value, PGE2, SP, DA and 5-HT. Result: Compared with before treatment, patients in control group and observation group after treatment had higher VAS scores and lower tenderness (P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS score of the observation group was higher, and the pain value was lower than that of control group (P<0.05). Compared with before treatment, the levels of PGE2, SP, DA and 5-HT in control group and observation group decreased after treatment.Compared with control group, the serum levels of PGE2, SP, DA and 5-HT in observation group decreased significantly (P<0.05) after treatment. The serum levels of lysine and β-cryptoxanthin in the control group had no significant changes before and after treatment. The serum levels of lysine and β-cryptoxanthin in the observation group were significantly higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). Serum lysine and β-cryptoxanthin were positively correlated with tenderness before and after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), but negatively correlated with VAS, PGE2, SP, DA and 5-HT (P<0.05). Conclusion: Duhuo Jisheng Tang can significantly relieve the pain in treatment of KOA, which may be related to the increase of contents of lysine and β-cryptoxanthin.

摘要:Objective: To study the relationship between effective ingredients, targets and pathway in Ermiaowan, and predict its possible"Multi-Efficacy of One Formula" Molecular Mechanism based on Network Pharmacology. Method: The main ingredients and targets of Ermiaowan were predicted and screened by relying on A Bioinformatics Analysis Tool for Molecular mechANism of Traditional Chinese Medicine server(BATMAN-TCM). The Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins platform(STRING) was used to construct target-protein interaction network,and gene ontology(GO) bioprocess enrichment and clustering analysis of target genes were finished by using BiNGO and MCODE plug-ins. Database for Annotation,Visualization and Integrated Discovery(DAVID)was used to analyze kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) signaling pathways of the key targets. Result: The active ingredients of Ermiaowan acted on 37 key targets such as serum albumin(ALB),mitogen-activated protein kinase1(MAPK1),tumour necrosis factor(TNF),prostaglandin G/H synthase 2(PTGS2),5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A(HTR2A),adenosine deaminase(ADA),glucocorticoid receptor(NR3C1).Got mainly involved in GO biological processes such as inflammation, nerve conduction, metal ions homeostasis, oxidation and reduction, lipid metabolism, and nucleotide metabolism; regulated signaling pathways such as TNF, TRP channel inflammatory, FcεRI, Type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus, calcium signaling pathway, serotonergic and a variety of signal transduction, tumor and cytochrome P450 enzyme. Conclusion: Besides Gout, arthritis, eczema and some inflammatory diseases,Ermiaowan may also have "Multi-Efficacy of One Formula" effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy, nervous system, gastrointestinal system and cardiovascular system diseases.  
摘要:Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of ursolic acid (UA)against rheumatoid arthritis based on network pharmacology and molecular docking. Method: Potential therapeutic targets of UA were searched based on comparative toxicogenomics database(CTD), Drug Bank, traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology(TCMSP) and other databases. Pathway enrichment analysis of potential targets was conducted by DAVID(DAVID bioinformatics resources). Protein interaction was conducted by STRING, and energy matching between UA and 11 rheumatoid targets was done by molecular docking technique(iGEMDOCK, SystemsDock). The potential targets against rheumatoid arthritis were screened. Result: 66 corresponding targets were collected, and 27 signal pathways were obtained from the enrichment of DAVID pathway (P<0.01), including 11 key targets proteins in rheumatoid arthritis pathway (matrix metalloproteinase-1, matrix metalloproteinase-3, interleukin-6, transcription factor AP-1, tumor necrosis factor, vascular endothelial growth factor A, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-1 beta, transforming growth factor beta-1, and proto-oncogene c-Fos). Through protein interaction, four target proteins were found to be supported by experimental data. The molecular docking showed that UA could resist rheumatoid arthritis mainly through matrix metalloproteinase-1, Matrix metalloproteinase-3, tumor necrosis factor, transcription factor AP-1 and interleukin-1 beta. Conclusion: The results of this study reveal the molecular mechanism of UA against rheumatoid arthritis。  
摘要:With the change of people's life style and the improvement of living quality, hyperlipidemia has become a common clinical disease. At present, the treatment of hyperlipidemia is mainly based on drug therapy. As compared with western medicine, the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) for treating hyperlipidemia is complicated, but the adverse reactions are fewer. In order to explore its pathological pathogenesis, find prevention and treatment measures, and elucidate the advantages and features of TCM in treating hyperlipidemia, we need to establish an animal model that is similar to human hyperlipidemia. The animal model is the basis for experimental research, so the establishment of the animal model should be consistent with the development of the disease process, and the assessment indicators of the animal model should also correspond to the clinical indicators as far as possible. The ideal hyperlipidemia model should have the characteristics of repeatability, simple operation, low cost, and easy promotion. At present, there are many research methods for animal models of hyperlipidemia, and chemical induction is the most commonly used method. The experimental animals mainly include rats and mice, while the congenital models and transgenic models are rarely used. The biological characteristics of different animals are different, so their modeling methods are also different. According to the experimental objectives, period, techniques and other factors, selecting the right model animal and modeling method are the key to the success of hyperlipidemia experiments. This paper would summarize the recent experimental studies of hyperlipidemia animal models both at home and abroad in terms of animal selection, modeling methods and evaluation indicators of model, which will provide reference and basis for the hypolipidemic developers to study, choose and establish hyperlipidemia animal models.  
摘要:Andrographis paniculata,a member of the family Acanthaceae,with functions of clearing heat and detoxifying,cooling blood and eliminating swelling in traditional Chinese medicine,is commonly used for the treatment of fever,cold,throat sores,aphtha of the mouth and tongue,whooping cough,dysentery,diarrhea,pyretic stranguria pain,welling-abscess swellings and sores,snake bites and so on. Modern research shows that A. paniculata contains diterpenoids,flavonoids,phenylpropanoids,iridoids and alkaloids; the preliminary pharmacological research has shown that it has anti-inflammatory,antimicrobial,anti-tumor,antiviral,protecting cardiovascular,hypoglycemic,inhibiting platelet aggregation,protecting liver and other activities. A. paniculata is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. It was introduced from southeast Asia to China in the 1950s and cultivated in Guangxi,Guangdong,Sichuan,Anhui and Fujian provinces. It has been included in many compound formulae due to its low price and significant pharmacological activities. In recent years,more and more researches are on the quality control of A. paniculata. The quality ingredients are changed from two components(andrographolide and dehydroandrographolide) to multiple components.The quality control methods also extend from thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to more accurate,rapid and reliable detection methods. In this review,the latest studies both at home and abroad about the herbal textual research,resource distribution,chemical constituents,pharmacological effects and quality analysis of A. paniculata would be reviewed and discussed in order to offer some reference for further studies and development.
