摘要:Objective:To clone the full-length cDNA of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase(HMGR) gene from Gentiana rigescens,construct prokaryotic expression vector for expression in Escherichia coli, quantify the expressions and conduct bioinformatics analysis. Method:Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used for cloning the cDNA sequence of HMGR from G. rigescens. The pEASY-E1-HMGR expression vector was constructed to prokaryotic expression and the expression was induced by isopropyl β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). The obtained cDNA sequences were analyzed and their structure and function were forecasted by bioinformatics method. The expression levels of HMGR gene of roots,stems and leaves in different growth stages were analyzed by using Real-time quantitative PCR (Real-time PCR) in G. rigescens. Result:Two groups of HMGR gene were cloned,one group of HMGR cDNA full-length was 1 747 bp, open reading frame (ORF) of 1 697 bp, encoding 565 amino acids,named as GRHMGR-1;another group of HMGR cDNA full-length was 1 731 bp,ORF of 1 572 bp,encoding 523 amino acids,and named as GRHMGR-2. SDS-PAGE showed that the recombinant plasmid could successfully express the target proteins. Blastp found that GRHMGR-1 and GRHMGR-2 were closely related to the same genus plants G. lutea and G. macrophylla. The structure analysis results showed that both of them contained two HMG-CoA binding sites and two NADPH binding sites,implying that it may be localized on endoplasmic reticulum. RT-PCR showed that HMGR gene was expressed in roots, stems and leaves at four different growth stages, and the highest expression level was found in leaves. Conclusion:This was the first time to obtain cloned HMGR genes from G. rigescens. The results can provide a foundation for exploring the mechanism of gentiopicroside biosynthesis in G. rigescens.

Conclusion:Extracts from different fractions of Cistanches Herba can regulate hormone levels in rats with kidney-Yang deficiency induced by hydrocortisone and further improve their sexual ability. The total glycosides of phenylethanol can significantly improve the indexes related to sexual performance in rats with kidney-Yang deficiency.  
摘要:Objective:To investigate the effect of capsaicin on proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and its possible molecular mechanism. Method:Capsaicin groups with different concentrations and blank group were set up. The cell viability was detected by cell count kit-8 (CCK-8) assay after MCF-7 cells were treated with capsaicin (50,100,150,200,250,300 μmol·L-1) for 24, 48,72 h. The cell colony formation ability was verified by colony formation assay after MCF-7 cells were treated with capsaicin(100,150,200 μmol·L-1) for 18 h and then incubated in complete medium for 14 days. The mRNA expression levels of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 and factor that binds to the inducer of short transcripts of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (FBI-1) were measured by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) after MCF-7 cells were treated with capsaicin (100,150,200 μmol·L-1) for 24 h. The protein expression levels of p21 and FBI-1 were measured by Western blot after MCF-7 cells were treated with capsaicin (100,150,200 μmol·L-1) for 24 h. Result:As compared with the blank group, capsaicin (50,100,150,200,250,300 μmol·L-1) significantly inhibited the cell viability of MCF-7 cells (P<0.05,P<0.01) in dose and time dependent manners. Capsaicin (100,150,200 μmol·L-1) also markedly inhibited the cell colony formation ability (P<0.01). In addition, capsaicin (100,150,200 μmol·L-1) up-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of p21 and down-regulated mRNA and protein expressions of FBI-1 (P<0.01). Conclusion:Capsaicin inhibits cell proliferation of MCF-7 cells, and the possible mechanism may be related to up-regulation of p21 and down-regulation of FBI-1 at both mRNA and protein levels.

Method:The mice were divided into five groups:normal group, model group, high-dose Linggui Zhugan Tang group(23.1 g·kg-1), low-dose Linggui Zhugan Tang group(7.7 g·kg-1), and positive drug group(0.002 6 g·kg-1). After 4 weeks of treatment, the weight of body was recorded, and the liver organ coefficient was calculated. The effect of Linggui Zhugan Tang on hepatic steatosis was investigated by htoxylin eosin(HE) and oil red O staining. The protein expressions of FXR, FGF15, and SHP in the liver were detected by immunofluorescence staining and Western blot. Result:Compared with normal group, the body weight and liver index were significantly increased, with serious hepatic steatosis, while the protein expression level of FXR, FGF15 and SHP were significantly lower in ob/ob mice(P<0.01). Compared with model group, the body weight and liver index were declined, whereas the protein expressions of FXR, FGF15, and SHP were significantly up-regulated after treatment(P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion:Linggui Zhugan Tang could improve the hepatic steatosis in ob/ob mice, which may be related to its effect on FXR/FGF15/SHP pathway.

摘要:Objective:To investigate the effect of Shenling Baizhusan (SLBZS) in repairing the skin mechanical barrier function in mice and the expression of β-glucocerebrosidase (β-GCase) and acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) related to ceramide salvage pathway. Method:A total of 50 SPF ICR mice were randomly divided into the blank control group, the model group, the low-dose SLBZS group (10 g·kg-1), the middle-dose SLBZS group (20 g·kg-1) and the high-dose SLBZS group (40 g·kg-1). The tape-stripping method was used to replicate the mouse model of the dysfunction of the skin mechanical barrier. The low-dose group, the middle-dose group and the high-dose group were given the corresponding doses of SLBZS by gavage 8 d before modeling. The other groups were given distilled water once a day for 13 days. The transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin hydration and skin pH were measured. The pathological changes of skin tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The protein expressions of β-GCase, ASM were detected by immunohistochemistry. β-GCase and ASM mRNA expressions in skin tissues were detected by Real-time PCR. Result:Compared with the blank control group,the level of TEWL and pH were significantly increased in the model group (P<0.05), and the skin hydration was decreased in the model group (P<0.01). The expression of β-GCase was decreased in the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, each dose of SLBZS could decrease the levels of TEWL and pH (P<0.01), and increase the skin hydration (P<0.01). The histopathological changes of the skin were improved to varying degrees. The middle-dose SLBZS group could up-regulate the expression of β-GCase (P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion:SLBZS can repair the mechanical barrier function of skin, which may be related to the up-regulation of β-GCase expression and increase of ceramide content.  
摘要:Objective:To study the effect of Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba on diarrhea mice induced by Escherichia coli, in order to explore its possible mechanism. Method:A total of 160 KM mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, berberine group and drug groups (high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba). All of the other groups, except for the blank group, were injected intraperitoneally with E. coli. The blank group and the model group were given normal saline intragastrically, drug groups were administrated with Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba extract at the dose of 2.5, 5, 7.5 g·kg-1 respectively, and the berberine group was given 0.025 g·kg-1 of berberine.On the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th days after intraperitoneal injection with E. coli, 5 mice were randomly selected from each group. Their duodenum histopathological features were observed under optical microscope. The content of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the mRNA expression levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Smad3 and Smad7 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Result:The duodenal intestinal mucosal injury in mice could be significantly alleviated by Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba. ELISA results showed that the content of TNF-α and IL-1β in the model group significantly increased compared with the blank group(P<0.01). The content of TNF-α and IL-1β in the Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba groups (at dose of 5 and 7.5 g·kg-1) was reduced obviously compared with the model group (P<0.05,P<0.01). Real-time PCR results showed that the mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, EGFR in the model group significantly increased (P<0.05,P<0.01), and mRNA expression of Smad7 in the model group was significantly reduced (P<0.01) compared with the bland group. After administration,Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba and berberine can regulate mRNA expressions of TGF-β1, EGFR, Smad3 and Smad7 in duodenum of diarrhea mice(P<0.05), in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:Extract of Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba has an obvious effect on diarrhea mice induced by E. coli, and the mechanism may be related to reducing the release of intestinal inflammatory cytokines, alleviating the intestinal mucosal barrier, and intervening TGF-β/Smads signal pathway.  
摘要:Objective:To study the effect of Tangweian decoction on gastric emptying in diabetic rats with gastrointestinal diseases, so as to explore its mechanism. Method:Fifty 2-3-month-old male Wistar rats were collected as subjects. Ten of them were randomly selected as normal control group (CON), and the other 40 were made diabetic through intraperitoneal injection with streptozotocin(STZ,50 mg·kg). Diabetes was verified after 1 week, and the animals with a blood sugar level higher than 16.9 mmol·L-1 were considered as diabetic for the experiments. The 40 rats were randomly divided into diabetic control group (DM), high-dose Tangweian decoction group (T1), middle-dose group (T2), and low-dose group (T3)(15,10,5 g·kg-1). CON group and DM group were treated with distilled water by gavage. After 8 weeks, the gastric emptying rate was determined by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). The immunohistochemistry was used to observe the changes of Cajal interstitial cells in the gastric myenteric layer. The hypothalamus substance P protein expression was detected by Western blot. Result:Compared with the CON group, the gastric emptying rate in DM group, T1 group, T2 group and T3 group decreased significantly (P<0.01); the Cajal interstitial cells in gastric myenteric layer decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01); the hypothalamus protein expression substance P decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with DM group, the gastric emptying rate and the Cajal interstitial cells in T1 and T2 groups were increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the expression of P substance in hypothalamus increased significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01). For T3 group, the gastric emptying rate, Cajal interstitial cells and the expression of P substance in hypothalamus were increased, but with no statistically significant difference. Conclusion:Gastric emptying rate, Cajal interstitial cells in gastric myenteric layer, and the expression of substance P in hypothalamus were decreased in rats with gastrointestinal disease. Tangweian decoction has the effect in promoting the gastric emptying rate of diabetic rats with gastrointestinal diseases rats and improving gastrointestinal motility by increasing Cajal interstitial cells in gastric myenteric layer and substance P levels.

摘要:Objective:To investigate the effect of luteolin on the proliferation and apoptosis of T cells in vitro. Method:Blank group,ConA control group and 3 luteolin groups (2.5,5,10 mg·L -1) were set up. The effect of luteolin on the proliferation of T lymphocyte in the 5 groups was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8).TUNEL and Flow Cytometry were used to detect apoptosis condition in each group. Western blot method was used to detect the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) in each group. Result:Number of T cell in 3 different doses of luteolin were decreased significantly compared with 2 control groups(P<0.01),with statistically significant differences. TUNEL and flow cytometry indicated that, compared with ConA groups, apoptotic percentages of the 3 luteolin groups were increased under fluorescence microscope(P<0.01), with statistically significant differences. Among apoptosis-related proteins, Bax was up-regulated, but Bcl-2 was down-regulated in 10 mg·L-1 group according to Western blot. Conclusion:The 2.5,5,10 mg·L-1 of luteolin can inhibit the proliferation of T cell and induce its apoptosis. 10 mg·L-1 of luteolin may mainly induce the apoptosis by down-regulating expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating expression of Bax in mitochondria apoptosis pathway, and 2.5,5 mg·L-1 of luteolin may induce the apoptosis through other pathways.

摘要:Chinese medicinal materials are varied and multi-source,large difference in quality makes it difficult to ensure the safety and efficacy of clinical medications.Traditional identification methods have certain limitations,in some cases difficult to accurately identify. In order to ensure the safe and effective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),TCM identification has become one of the most important research topics,which is a key technical requirement urgently needed to be solved in the current Chinese medicine business. DNA gene identification is a rapid and accurate identification of Chinese medicinal materials with the genetic level,includes DNA molecule genetic markers,DNA hybridization and DNA barcoding molecular identification method particularly the most widely used one is DNA barcoding molecular identification method.DNA barcode is a technique for identifying species by using standard DNA regions. The 2015 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia has record the DNA barcode technical guidelines,which has established identify genes with COI gene-dominated and ITS2 gene-supplemented animal medicine DNA barcoding system,identify genes with ITS2/ITS gene-dominated and chloroplast psbA-trnH gene-supplemented plant medicine DNA barcoding system. The application of DNA Barcoding provides a more efficient and rapid method for the identification of TCM,and effectively applied in the identification of multi-primary Chinese herbal medicines. This article briefly outlines the principles,purpose and significance,selection of standard gene fragments of DNA barcodes,focuses on the application in identification of TCM,as well as the limitations. At last,the application forecast was prospected,which was expected to provide reference for Chinese medicine identification.  
摘要:Codonopsis Radix is a perennial herb of Campanulaceae,it has the effect of invigorating the spleen and benefiting the lung,nourishing blood and producing fluid;and it is a common clinical Chinese medicine.After undergoing changing,Codonopsis Radix has formed major production areas in Shanxi,Shaanxi,Gansu,Sichuan and Hubei provinces,and each major producing area has taken measures according to local conditions,to form a unique product specification,processing technology and process.Regarding the processing methods of Codonopsis Radix,the ancient literature since the Qing dynasty rarely recorded,the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the processing norms of provinces and cities throughout the country mainly recorded fried Codonopsis Radix with rice,fried Codonopsis Radix with bran,fried Codonopsis Radix with honey,fried Codonopsis Radix,steamed Codonopsis Radix,and so on.Because the processing methods and processing norms of Codonopsis Radix are different from each other,it is difficult to establish a unified quality standard of Chinese medicinal pieces.This paper refers to the books of Codonopsis Radix collected since the Qing dynasty and the related partial literature published after 2000,which sums up and summarizes the textual research of Codonopsis Radix,the processing status of its producing area and the general situation of its processing research,and so on;it provides a powerful scientific basis for the further study on the processing in production place and processing of Codonopsis Radix,especially taking the method of frying Codonopsis Radix with rice as the breakthrough point.

摘要:In recent years,the incidence and mortality of clinical fungal infections have been increasing rapidly. Invasive fungal infections,especially candidiasis,have become the major cause. Currently,side effect have been found in many existing antifungal agents to different extents. In addition,with the extensive application of broad-spectrum antifungal agents in clinic,there has been a notable increase in drug resistance. Thus,it is very important to develop new and effective antifungal agents. Natural plant compositions,especially essential oils, have many beneficial biological activities,such as antibacterial,anti-inflammatory,antitumor and analgesic activities. They had already become a hotspot in the research and development of antifungal drugs, because of their advantages, such as wide sources,low toxicity,broad spectrum and diverse functions. The antifungal activity of essential oils is closely related to their components and contents. Therefore,in this paper,the progress of research on analysis of chemical compositions and antifungal activity of essential oils from different families of plants against Candida spp. was reviewed. Extraction and analysis of essential oils from Labiatae,Lauraceae,Myrtaceae and other plants were systematically summarized. Methods and mechanisms of action of anti-Candida activity were investigated. The direction of current studies was also discussed. All of these may provide a direction for the analysis and activity of essential oils in the future and lay the foundation for developing plant essential oils into new anti-Candida agents. It may also provide new solutions for clinical infections caused by drug resistance problems.  
摘要:Myocardial ischemia and reperfusion are easy to cause a series of injuries, such as arrhythmia, cardiac function decline and myocardial necrosis, which seriously affect the therapeutic effect. Therefore, in-depth study of the pathological mechanism and the prevention and treatment measures of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is the current research hotspot and difficulty. The current mechanism of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury focuses on myocardial energy metabolism disorders, oxidative stress, calcium overload, mitochondrial damage, inflammation, and apoptosis. These pathological processes also have complex interactions and mutual promotion relationship, which make clinical control more difficult. Modern western medicine has a limited effect due to its simple target and more adverse reactions. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has many advantages, such as multiple signaling pathways and multiple targets, which have significant effects in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury is defined as chest apoplexyin TCM. The therapy of ‘reinforcing Qi and activating blood circulation’ is the main therapeutic principle of preventing and treating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in TCM, which is widely applied in clinical practice. Experiments show that TCMs have a intervening effect on multiple pathological mechanisms of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, which can significantly improve myocardial injury and reduce inflammatory infiltration of myocardial cells. Its mechanisms of action include resisting oxidative stress, inhibiting calcium overload, reducing mitochondrial damage, improving myocardial energy metabolism, resisting inflammation, and reducing apoptosis. However, most of the current researches focus on active ingredients of TCM, and there are only a few researches on the therapy of ‘reinforcing Qi and activating blood circulation’. This paper summarizes researches of this therapy on myocardial reperfusion injury, and reviews monomers, drug pairs and group prescriptions, in the expectation of providing a theoretical basis for the clinical application against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
