摘要:Objective:To study on the accumulation of secondary metabolites in leaves of Apocynum ventum and Poacynum hendersonii, reveal the main difference s between them and clarify certain regularity. Method:In July, August and September, 33 samples in different habitats were collected, and then the contents of chlorogenic acid, rutin, hyperoside, isoquercetin, astragulin, quercetin and kaempferol in leaves were detected by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). Finally, the data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and cluster analysis. Result:The standard deviation of chlorogenic acid content in 17 samples of A. ventum and 16 samples of P.hendersonii was 13.24 and 12.59 mg·g-1 respectively, and the standard deviation of rutin, hyperoside, isoquercetin, astragulin, and kaempferol of them was 1.00, 4.76, 3.62, 0.23 mg·g-1 and 0.27, 0.82, 0.59, 0.03 mg·g-1.The main components content in leaves of Poacynum displayed low (July)-high(August)-low(September), while Apocynum displayed gradual increase in these three months. 33 samples with distance between clusters equal to 15, can be divided into four categories. Conclusion:Considering from the stability of the main component content, Apocynum leaf was preferred in development. Although the main compositions of Apocynum leaves and Poacynum leaves had certain differences, the content of main chemical composition was not effective to distinguish the Apocynum and Poacynum because of the influence by habitat and the harvest season. In case of no strict requirements, especially when focusing on the main compounds, they can be used alternatively. Altay, Jeminay, Ili and Changchun would be the better planting areas in respect of planting areas.  
摘要:Objective:To analyze and compare the volatile components in different parts of Matricaria chamomilla. Method:The optimum extraction conditions were selected by single factor experiment (the solid phase microextraction fiber head, the sample amount, the extraction temperature, the extraction time and the desorption time) with headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method. The chemical compositions in the volatile components extracted with this method from different parts of chamomile were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and their relative mass fraction of each component was determined by area normalization method. Result:The optimum extraction conditions were investigated with 7 major volatile components as indicators. The solid phase microextraction fiber head was PDMS/DVB type; the sample amount was 0.5 g; the extraction temperature was 80℃; the extraction time was 10 min; and the desorption time was 1 min. Furthermore, 66 volatile components in M. chamomilla were identified, and 40, 31, 27, 29 and 35 volatile components respectively from the whole herb, flowers, roots, stems and leaves of M. chamomilla, accounting for 84.58%, 90.27%, 82.41%, 87.36% and 82.10% of the total peak areas. Conclusion:The content of volatile components (calculated by the total peak areas) in different parts of M. chamomilla ranged from high to low:leaves > whole herb > flowers > stems > roots. There were 14 common components in all these parts and 25 common components between flowers and whole herb, accounting for 98% and 88% of the identified components in flowers and whole herb respectively. Therefore, the experimental results provide the chemical basis for using the whole herb of M. chamomilla as Uygur medicine.

摘要:Objective:By studying the impact on extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) phosphorylated protein and the related inflammatory factor in respiratory epithelial cells with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, this paper aims to investigate the anti-RSV effect of Qingfei oral liquid and its regulatory mechanism on secondary inflammatory damages. Method:RSV-infected human bronchial epithelial cells (16-HBE) were used to establish respiratory epithelial inflammatory damage models in vitro. The blank group, model group (RSV), control group (ribavirin) and treatment groups (Qingfei oral liquid with high, middle and low dose). The blank group received RPIM 1640 medium containing 2%FBS, while other groups were infected with RSV to make models on the basis of blank group. The model group received equal volume of RSV (MOI=1); the control group received equal volume of Ribavirin (0.2 mg·L-1); and the treatment groups were intervened with Qingfei oral liquid (200, 100, 50 mg·L-1). Tetrazolium salt colorimetry (MTT) was used to detect the toxicity effect of Qingfei oral liquid on RSV-infected 16-HBE. Real-time PCR was used to detect the replication of RSV in 16-HBE, and Western blot was used to examine the changes in phosphorylation of ERK1/2 signaling pathway related proteins. In addition, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to evaluate the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in the supernatant. Result:As compared with blank group, RSV showed great proliferation in the model group; 16-HBE showed typical manifestation of inflammatory damages; ERK1/2 phosphorylated protein level was increased significantly (P<0.01), and a large amount of inflammatory factors (IL-6, IL-8) were released in the cellular supernatant (P<0.01). After adding Qingfei oral liquid or ribavirin, the replication of RSV was significantly inhibited in 16-HBE (P<0.01), and the Qingfei oral liquid (200,100 mg·L-1) can significantly down-regulate the expression of ERK1/2 phosphorylated protein (P<0.01), and decrease the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 in cellular supernatant (P<0.01). Conclusion:Qingfei oral liquid can inhibit the replication of RSV and alleviate the airway inflammatory damage caused by RSV, and its mechanism may be associated with down-regulating the expression of ERK1/2 phosphorylated protein and decreasing the inflammatory cytokines.  
摘要:Objective:To observe the effect of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma extracts (Fag) on mast cell (MC), protease activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) and substance P (SP) in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) rat models with visceral hypersensitivity. Method:IBS rat models were established through neonatal maternal separation, acetic acid enema and intraperitoneal injection with OVA. A total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), low, middle and high-dose Fag groups (0.14, 0.42, 1.26 g·kg-1) and ketotifen group (0.18 mg·kg-1). After oral gavage for 14 days, visceral hypersensitivity was assessed based on abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) score. The number and degranulation of mast cells were observed by immumohistochemical staining(IHC); PAR-2 was measured by Western blot; and SP was evaluated by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay and IHC. Result:AWR score in model group was significantly higher than that of control group at the distension pressures of 20, 40, 60 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa); and the number and degranulation of mast cells, PAR-2 and SP expressions significantly increased. Middle-dose Fag group (at the distension pressures of 20, 40, 60 mmHg) and high-dose Fag group (at the distension pressures of 20, 40 mmHg) could effectively reduce AWR scores. And the number and degranulation of mast cells, PAR-2 and SP expressions were lower than those of model group. Furthermore, at the distension pressure of 40 mmHg, high-dose Fag group could lower than ketotifen-treated group in terms of the AWR score. Conclusion:Fag could alleviate the visceral hypersensitivity in IBS rat models. Its mechanism was related with the inhibition of the number and degranulation of intestinal mucosal mast cells, the down-regulation of PAR-2 and the reduction of SP.

Result:Compared with model control group, the glucose content of supernatant was significantly decreased in 1.0, 0.5 g·L-1 GDE groups (P<0.01), and the glucose content was significantly decreased in supernatant of 0.2 g·L-1GDF group (P<0.05); the mRNA expressions of INSR and GLUT4 in GDE and GDF groups increased significantly (P<0.05); the protein expression of PKB was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the protein expression of GSK-3β was significantly reduced in GDE group (P<0.05), the protein expression of PKB was significantly increased(P<0.01)and the protein expression of GSK-3β decreased significantly in GDF group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Gynura divaricata may improve insulin resistance HepG2 cells' uptake of glucose. Its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of InsR, GLUT4 mRNA expression and PKB protein expression, and the reduction of GSK-3β protein expression in insulin resistant HepG2 cells.  
摘要:Objective:To investigate the effects of Liuwei Dihuangtang and its three ‘reinforcing and reducing’ herb pairs on the osteoprotegerin (OPG) and the nucleus factor-κB receptor activation factor ligands (RANKL) in kidney and femur of ovariectomized rat models with osteoporosis. Method:The 3-4 month SD rats were randomly divided into blank group (sham operation group,distilled water,10 mL·kg-1),model group (distilled water,10 mL·kg-1), Liuwei Dihuangtang group (6.75 g·kg-1), Corni Fructus-Moutan Cortex group (1.89 g·kg-1), Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata-Alismatis Rhizoma group (2.97 g·kg-1), Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Poria group (1.89 g·kg-1), and alendronate group (positive drug group, 6.3 g·kg-1). Except for the blank group, all the other rats were ovariectomized to induce the model of postmenopausal osteoporosis. After 16 days, the rats from different groups received intragastric administration for continuous 90 days. The weight changes of the rats were observed every week, and the protein expression levels of OPG and RANKL were detected by using immunohistochemical method. Result:As compared with model group, the OPG protein expression in osteoblast and renal tubular epithelial cells was increased, and the protein expression of RANKL in osteoblast and renal tubular epithelial cells was decreased by Liuwei Dihuangtang. But the gray value of OPG was reduced (P<0.05) and the RANKL in osteoblast was increased (P<0.01) by Corni Fructus-Moutan Cortex pair, indicating that the OPG protein expression was increased and the protein expression of RANKL in osteoblast was decreased (the lower of gray value,the higher expression of OPG and RANKL). Conclusion:One of the mechanism of Liuwei Dihuangtang for postmenopausal osteoporosis maybe related to regulating OPG and RANKL protein expression in femur by Corni Fructus-Moutan Cortex herb pair.  
摘要:Objective:To discuss the effect of Angelicae Sinensis Radix polysaccharide on oxidative stress level and inflammatory cytokine expression of brain tissues in rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. Method:Wistar rats were randomly divided into Sham group, ischemia reperfusion (I/R) group, ASRP groups (30, 60 mg·kg-1·d-1) and Nimodipine group (15 mg·kg-1·d-1). On the 15th day before the operation, the drugs were intragastrically administered once a day. Line plug method was adopted to establish the rat model of cerebral ischemia reperfusion at 1 h after last administration. Neurological function scores, water content, infarction area, oxidative stress level, inflammatory cytokine expression and Toll like receptor-4 (TLR-4)/nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway were evaluated by Bederon scoring method, wet weight method, radioimmunoassay and Western blot, respectively. Result:Compared with model group, neurological function scores in low and high-dose ASRP groups, water content in high-dose ASRP group, and infarction area in low and high-dose ASRP groups were significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with model group, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathion peroxidase (GSH-Px) were significantly elevated, and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly decreased in low and high-dose ASRP groups(P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with model group, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) content in high-dose ASRP group, and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) content and expressions of TLR-4 and NF-κB p65 were significantly decreased in low and high-dose ASRP groups. Conclusion:ASRP has a protective effect on ischemia reperfusion injury in rats, which may be correlated with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.  
摘要:Objective:To evaluate the effect of Shengmaisan on rats with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), Toll-like receptor-4(TLR-4)/nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells(NF-κB) signaling pathway as well as inflammatory factors. Method:The establishment of dilated cardiomyopathy rats model was induced through intraperitoneal injection with doxorubicin (1 mg·kg-1, twice a week) for 6 weeks, and then observed for 2 weeks, which lasted for eight weeks in total. The rats were randomly divided into four groups:blank group, doxorubicin group, Shengmaisan group and perindopril group.

摘要:Objective:To study the protective effect of Danggui Buxuetang on hypertrophic cardiomyocytes and its relationship with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/serine threonine kinase (Akt)/endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-nitric oxide (NO) signal transduction pathway. Method:H9C2 cardiomyocytes were cultured in vitro, α-actin antibody was used to identify cardiomyocytes by immunohistochemistry. Angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ) was used to induce the H9C2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy model. The total protein content of cardiomyocytes was measured by BCA protein assay. The protein contents of blank group and model group were compared to verify the model of Angiotensin-induced H9C2 cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. The cells were divided into blank group, cell model group, LY294002 blockade group and 10% serum group. Western blot was used to detect relevant protein expressions of p-Akt, Akt, p-eNOS, eNOS and other signaling pathways. Nitric acid reductase assay was used to detect the NO concentration in each cell culture medium. Result:The immunohistochemical method was used to identify that cells and brownish yellow fine particles were located in the cytoplasm. The results were consistent with the characteristics of cardiomyocytes. BCA was used to determine cell protein. Compared with blank group, the content of the histone group was increased(P<0.05). Western blot analysis showed that p-Akt, Akt and eNOS protein expressions in model group were lower than those in blank group (P<0.05), p-Akt, Akt and eNOS protein expressions in the serum-containing group were higher than those in model group (P<0.05), LY294002 blockade group removed the effect of the drug-containing serum. Conclusion:Danggui Buxuetang-containing serum has a protective effect on AngⅡ-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. One of its mechanisms may be the regulation of cardiomyocyte PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

摘要:Objective:To study the effect of Sarcandra hainanensis on synovial lesions and the expressions of nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), and MMP-9 in synoviocytes of rats with adjuvant arthritis (AA), and discuss relevant mechanism for anti-rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Method:Sixty rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, nimesulide group, and high, medium and low-dose S. hainanensis groups (5.0, 2.5, 1.25 g·kg-1). Except for the control group, each group was injected with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) to establish the AA model. The rats were intragastrically (ig) administered for 28 days, then sampled and put to death. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in synovial tissues. The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nitric oxide (NO), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the serum of rats were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of NF-κB, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in synovial tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Result:Compared with model group, the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, NO and PGE2 in serum of S. hainanensis group were decreased in different degrees, while the content of IL-10 was significantly increased. The expressions of NF-κB, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in synovial tissues of S. hainanensis group were lower than those in model group to varying degrees(P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion:S.hainanensis has an obvious anti-inflammatory effect on AA rats. Its mechanism of action may be down-regulation of the expressions of NF-κB, MMP-2, and MMP-9 in synovial tissues, so as to accelerate apoptosis and alleviate synovial lesions of RA.

摘要:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the important chronic complications of diabetic patients. Because the most important feature of diabetic is glomerular cell sclerosis, type 1 and type 2 diabetes have a certain probability of suffering from DN, which may finally develop to kidney necrosis. Life and health of diabetic patients are directly threatened by DN. Benefited from the rapid advance of modern medical technology, fewer and fewer diabetic patients died of ketoacidosis. Currently, the main cause for diabetes deaths is various complications of diabetes, such as DN and cardiovascular disease caused by diabetes. DN is the most serious chronic microvascular complication for diabetic patients, as well as one of important causes for the death of DN. The inflammatory response process plays a very important role in the development and progress of DN. At present, many studies have reported relevant reviews of diabetic nephropathy, finding that diabetic nephropathy-associated inflammatory factors mainly include C-reactive protein, transforming growth factor-β, DN, inflammatory signaling pathway nuclear factor(NF)-κB signal transduction pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signal transduction pathway. This paper summarizes the pathogenesis of DN and the prevention and treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, in order to provide a reference for early prevention of DN and later intervention and treatment.

摘要:In recent years, the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has sharply increased because of the increasing major traumatic accidents, such as wars, natural disasters, traffic accidents and violent crimes. PTSD is a long-term persistent mental disorder that is caused by unusual threatening or catastrophic psychological trauma. Over the past decade, the incidence of PTSD has increased year by year, which causes high concerns from the public. This paper retrieved clinical and experimental literatures on treating antagonism of PTSD with traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) collected by CNKI from 2006 to 2016.It also overviewed the effect of TCM in antagonizing PTSD in the following six aspects:scope of TCM syndromes related to PTSD; understanding of etiology and pathogenesis of PTSD in TCM; clinical syndrome differentiation, prescription and medication for PTSD; clinical study on treating PTSD with TCM; clinical study on treating PTSD with acupuncture; experimental study of TCM in antagonizing PTSD. According to the summary and analysis of the retrieved literatures, most scholars classified PTSD into the following categories:Baihe disease, lethargy, palpitations, insomnia, forgetfulness, syncope syndrome, depression syndrome, up-rushing gas syndrome, globus hysteriocus. The clinical syndrome differentiation of PTSD involves heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, especially heart and liver. Electro-acupuncture at acupoints has a significant efficacy in the treatment of PTSD. The experimental results of antagonizing PTSD show that the changes in glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in hippocampus region receptor expression and the regulation of HPA axis are the targets or key links of TCM in antagonizing PTSD. The preliminary analysis was made on the problems in studies on the effect of TCM in antagonizing PTSD.

摘要:In modern society, people pay more and more attention to traditional Chinese medicine, and the quality of Chinese herbal medicine directly determines the effect. However, there is not much theoretical guidance on planting or producing as well as research on regionalization of medicinal herbs' producing areas, leading to the continuing decline of quality, yield and price. This situation results in the short supply of high-quality drugs in the market, and has a direct impact to the economy and people of those medicinal herbs' planting areas. Several studies have found that the quality of Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus is uneven through different areas with aging, quality difference, and other problems. Meanwhile, the ecological environment has a significant impact on the quality and output of herbal medicine. In order to solve the problem of production of high quality medicinal materials, we found that the ecological suitability research method was one of the methods to find out the better relationship between the quality of Chinese herbal medicine and environmental factors, playing an important role in Zhejiang Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus national suitability origins zoning, determination of genuine producing areas, and discovery of new suitable planting areas for medicinal materials. The resource status of Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus, material quality evaluation and ecological adaptation research methods were reviewed in this paper, to provide new ideas and methods for conservation, comprehensive utilization and production of Zhejiang Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus drug resource, which is helpful to solve the present problems of production degradation,quality declining, yield reduction and other issues of Chinese herbal medicines represented by Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus.

摘要:Objective:To systemically explore the ethnopharmacological resources of Chinese Clematis plants, and provide scientific basis for its sustainable utilization. Method:A variety of herbal books, literature and data were consulted for statistics and analysis. Result:①Our investigations indicated that 49 species have been used as diuretic, wind expelling and pain relieving drugs in 29 minorities of China, mostly with the whole plant and roots as the main medicinal parts, and stems are also used sometimes. ②These medicinal plants are mainly distributed in Sect. Clematis of Subgen. Clematis and Sect. Viorna of Subgen. Viorna. ③The plants in this genus have a wide spectrum of constituents, mainly including triterpenoid saponins,flavonoids and lignans are the main components. Modern pharmacological studies show that most of them have analgesic, diuretic, anti-tumor and anti-arthritic effects, consistent with the traditional effects. ④The quality control of Clematis medicinal plants has made considerable progress, but the overall level is relatively low. Conclusion:For the development of our pharmaceutical industry, it is important to further study these ethnic medicinal plants' pharmacodynamic material basis, pharmaceutical activity, and standard planting technique, which can provide basis for reasonable utilization of Clematis medicinal plant materials.
