摘要:Objective: To find out the correlation between information groups of delivery dose and aerosol particle size of Reduning inhalation solution. Method: Taking chlorogenic acid and geniposide as index components,the delivery dose uniformity was determined by a breathing simulator and the aerodynamic particle size distribution was measured by a new generation of particle impactor.Realtime particle size distribution was monitored by a laser diffractometers.The correlation analysis between information groups of delivery dose and aerosol particle size was investigated. Result: Most primitive variables of two sets had good intra-class correlations,but the inter-group correlation was not as good as intra-class correlation.After the canonical correlation analysis,two pairs of canonical variables had significant correlations with correlation coefficients being 0.998 and 0.955,respectively.Almost 90% information of delivery dose group and more than 70% information of particle size group could be elucidated by the two pairs of canonical variables. Conclusion: There is a good intra-class correlation for each of delivery dose group and particle size group,but the correlation between two sets is not so good.Canonical variables perform better inter-group correlation by comparing with original variables,indicating there is a certain correlation between delivery dose and aerosol particle size of Reduning inhalation solution.Furthermore,original variables of these two sets can be well predicted by the two pairs of canonical variables extracted.  
摘要:Objective: To develop the differences on mechanism of long-term toxicity in rats treated with raw products and processed products with wheat bran of Myristicae Semen,and to explore the connotation about its processing technology with wheat bran. Method: A urinary metabonomics method was developed to study on long-term toxicity in rats of Myristicae Semen before and after being processing,rats were divided into three groups,including normal group,the raw products group and the processed products group with the dose of 10 g·kg-1 for 12 weeks.Urinary samples of 24 hours after stopping the intragastric administration were collected.Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was employed to process data from all the groups,variable importance in the projection (VIP) were adopted to analyze potential biomarkers. Result: Good separation was observed between the raw products group and the normal group,the prcessed products group lied between the two groups,and was close to the normal group.Seventeen potential biomarkers related with long-term toxicity were screened out.Compared with those in the normal group,creatinine in the urine associated with renal toxicity significantly decreased in the raw products group;pantothenic acid,carnitine C2: 0 and amino acids in the urine associated with hepatotoxicity metabolized abnormally;these biomarkers in the processed products group were adjusted significantly to the normal group. Conclusion: When large amounts of the raw Myristicae Semen are taken for a long time,hepatic and renal toxicity will occur,but its toxic effects can decrease significantly after being processed with wheat bran.

摘要:Objective: To breed good varieties of Desmodium styracifolium. Method: Seeds of D. styracifolium were treated with chemical mutagens, including sodium azide (NaN3), ethyl methyl sulfone (EMS) and colchicine. SRAP markers were used to conduct DNA molecular identification for the variants of D. styracifolium and the control plants. Result: There were a lot of macroscopic variations in plant height, basal diameter and branch numbers of D. styracifolium. A total of 3 285 DNA bands were amplified from 10 pairs of primers, and the percentage of polymorphic bands was 96.45%. The genetic similarity coefficients of the variants ranged from 0.326 to 0.476,which were relatively low. This indicated true genetic differences between mutants and control materials of D. styracifolium. The degree of similarity differences from high to low was as follows: V-13> V-7> V-6> V-11> V-10> V-12> V-9> V-8> V-4> V-5> V-3> V-2> V-1.The molecular level effect of NaN3 on D. styracifolium was smaller than that of EMS and colchicine. After chemical mutagenesis, D. styracifolium showed a higher degree of morphological variation than varieties from other provenance. The results indicated that the artificially induced mutation breeding could shorten the breeding period and improve the mutation rate. Conclusion: The study clearly defines the phenotypic specificity and genetic diversity of D. styracifolium germplasms, and screened out some specific resources, in order to provide the important scientific basis for breeding high-yield and high-quality varieties of D. styracifolium.

Method: HPLC was employed to determine the contents of baicalin magnesium salt and baicalin in samples,and the intestinal absorption kinetics parameters,such as absorption rate constant(Ka),intestinal absorption per unit volume within one hour(Abs),apparent permeability coefficient(Papp) and pharmacokinetics parameters such as the bioavailability (AUC0-t) were figured out.That was not only clarified the behaviors of baicalin magnesium salt,but also discussed the differences of the absorption of baicalin magnesium salt and baicalin in vivo and in suit by SPSS 19.0 statistical software. Result: The Ka,Abs and Papp of baicalin magnesium salt were 16.33,1.78,15.75 times than these of baicalin with significant difference (P<0.05).However,these pharmacokinetic data showed that AUC0-t of baicalin magnesium salt had no significant differences by comparing with baicalin,as well as parameters of Cmax,Tmax and CLz. Conclusion: The intestinal absorption of baicalin magnesium salt in whole intestine tract of rats is better and quicker than baicalin.Meanwhile,pharmacokinetic characteristics of baicalin magnesium salt after oral administration are not significantly different from these of baicalin,because it can be reduced into baicalin under the action of gastric acids in the body.  
摘要:Objective: To compare the effects of artemisinin, dihydroartemisinin, artesunate and artemether on osteoclasts differentiation, and investigate relevant signaling pathways. Method: Osteoclast differentiation was induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB(NK-κB) ligand (RANKL) in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). After different concentrations of artemisinin, dihydroartemisinin, artemether and artesunate were treated, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells were observed by TRAP staining. TRAP, MMP-9 and cathepsin-K (Cts-K) mRNA expressions were detected by Real-time PCR, and TRAF6 and p65 protein expressions were detected by Western blot. Result: TRAP-positive multinucleated cells were successfully induced by RANKL, and TRAP, MMP-9 and Cts-K mRNA expressions, TRAF6 and p65 protein expression were significantly increased after treatment with RANKL. Importantly, artemisinin, dihydroartemisinin, artemether and artesunate could significantly reduce the number, nuclei and diameter of osteoclasts after induction with RANKL (P<0.05, P<0.01), artemisinin obviously reduced TRAP mRNA expression (P<0.01), dihydroartemisinin, artemether and artesunate significantly down-regulated the mRNA expressions of TRAP, MMP-9 and Cts-K(P<0.01), and artemether and artesunate had a better therapeutic effect. In addition, the abnormal increase of TRAF6 and p65 proteins were obviously suppressed by artemisinin and artemisinin derivatives after induction with RANKL, and the results demonstrated that artesunate was the best one(P<0.01). Conclusion: Artemisinin and artemisinin derivatives could inhibit the effect of mouse BMMs in differentiating osteoclasts, which may be related to the down-regulation of TRAP, MMP-9 and Cts-K gene expressions, and the inhibition of TRAF6/NF-κB activation. The effect of artemether and artesunate is better than that of artemisinin and dihydroartemisininat at the same concentration.

The rats in the observation group were smoked and intratracheally instilled with lipopolysaccharide (on the 1st day, the 14th day) and gavaged with diarrhea leaves to the end of modeling. Rats were put to death at the 28th, 35th and 42th days after modeling, and their gastric tissues and hypothalamus were collected. Western blot, immunohistochemistry and Real-time PCR were used to detect protein and mRNA expressions of Ghrelin and GHS-R in rat tissues, and the dynamic expressions of Ghrelin and GHS-R were observed. Result: Compared with the blank control group, the expressions of Ghrelin and GHS-R in the hypothalamus and gastric tissue of the model group decreased gradually (P<0.05), with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The mean optical densities of Ghrelin and GHS-R in hypothalamus and gastric tissues of the model group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), with statistically significant differences. In the model group, mRNA expressions of hypothalamus and gastric tissues were also decreased (P<0.05), with statistically significant differences. Conclusion: The expressions of Ghrelin and its receptors in hypothalamus and gastric tissues may be one of the causes of COPD complicated with malnutrition. The regulatory effect of brain stem axis plays an important role in the poor nutritional status of COPD.  
摘要:Objective: To observe the effect of Qishen Yiqi dripping pill on cardiac function, collagen I (Col Ⅰ), collagen Ⅲ(Col Ⅲ), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and vimentin in rats after myocardial infarction. Method: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=10): sham-operation group, model group, Qishen Yiqi dripping pill (135 mg·kg-1·d-1) group (QSYQ-N), Qishen Yiqi dripping pill (270 mg·kg-1·d-1) group (QSYQ-H) and captopril group. The sham-operation group was not ligated after threading. The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated to establish the myocardial infarction model in the remaining groups. The model was evaluated by electrocardiograph(ECG). Rats were fed for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, the hemodynamic state of rats was recorded by physiological recorder. The immunohistological method was used to detect myocardial Col Ⅰ, Col Ⅲ and PCNA, α-SMA, Vimentin expression in rats, and the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect MMP-9 concentration in rat serum. Result: Compared with the sham-operation group,+dp/dtmax, -dp/dtmax and LVSP in the model group were significantly lower, while LVEDP was significantly elevated (P<0.01). Expressions of myocardial Col Ⅰ, Col Ⅲ and PCNA, α-SMA, Vimentin in the model group were increased, and serum MMP-9 concentration was increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group,+dp/dtmax, -dp/dtmax, LVSP in QSYQ-N, QSYQ-H and captopril groups were elevated (P<0.05, P<0.01), while LVEDP in QSYQ-H and captopril groups was lower (P<0.05, P<0.01). Expressions of myocardial Col Ⅰ, Col Ⅲ and PCNA, α-SMA, Vimentin in QSYQ-N, QSYQ-H and captopril groups were down-regulated, and serum MMP-9 concentration decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion: Qishen Yiqi dripping pill can improve cardiac systolic and diastolic function in rats after myocardial infarction, and its mechanism might be correlated with the inhibition of deposition of collagen, the degradation of matrix metalloproteinase and the proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts.

摘要:Objective: To study the effect of polydatin on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells, in order to further explore its underlying mechanism. Method: MCF-7 cells were treated with polydatin at different doses (0, 0.2, 0.4, 1.2, 2.0, 2.8 mg·L-1). The inhibitory rate of the cells was detected by methylthiazolydiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay after treatment for 48 h. To further verify the inhibitory effect of polydatinon on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells, the cell colonies were detected by the colony formation assay after treatment with polydatin (0.2, 0.4, 1.2 mg·L-1) for 10 days. After treatment with polydatin for 48 h, the effect of polydatin (0.2, 0.4, 1.2 mg·L-1) on mRNA expressions of DNA polymerase δ catalytic subunit gene POLD1, P125, p53 and p21 were detected by Real-time PCR. Protein expressions of P125, p53 and p21 were detected by Western blot. Result: Polydatin at different doses (0.2, 0.4, 1.2, 2.0, 2.8 mg·L-1) showed an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.05, P<0.01). After administration for 10 days, polydatin (0.2, 0.4, 1.2 mg·L-1) significantly inhibited the formation of cell colonies, compared with control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). After treatment for 48 h, mRNA expressions of POLD1 and P125 were significantly lower in polydatin (0.4, 1.2 mg·L-1) groups and 5-FU group than control group, while mRNA expressions of p53 and p21 were increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). After treatment for 48 h, protein expression of P125 was obviously lower in polydatin (0.4, 1.2 mg·L-1) groups and 5-FU group than control group, while protein expressions of p53 and p21 were increased significantly. The effect of polydatin on mRNA and protein expressions of PLOD1, P125, p53 and p21 in polydatin (1.2 mg·L-1) group had no difference with 5-FU group. Conclusion: Polydatin shows a significantly inhibitory effect on the proliferation of MCF-7 cells. Its underlying mechanisms may be associated with the up-regulation of p53, the inhibition of expression of POLD1 and the promotion of p21.  
摘要:Objective: To explore the mechanism of the total alkaloids of Gelsmium elegans (TAG) on the apoptosis of the human colonic carcinoma HT-29 cells. Method: The HT-29 cells were treated with TAG for 24 h and the cell proliferation was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-zy1)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay; 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining experiment and the flow cytometry (Annexin V-FITC/PI) experiment were used to observe the apoptosis of HT-29 cells. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test was used to analyze the mRNA expression of B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) associated X protein (Bax) and Bcl-2 of HT-29 cells after 24 hours' treatment of the TAG. Caspase-3 expression of HT-29 cells was detected by UV Spectrophotometry. Result: In the study, it was demonstrated that the TAG had the inhibition against the proliferation of HT-29 cells. The average inhibitory effect (54.17%) was observed after the HT-29 cells were treated with 200 mg·L-1 of TAG for 24 h. The apoptotic effect of the TAG on HT-29 cells was also confirmed by the DAPI staining experiment and the flow cytometry (Annexin V-FITC/PI) experiment. RT-PCR assay showed that expression of Bcl-2 mRNA was lower in the TAG-treated group than that in control group(P<0.05), but the expression of Bax mRNA was not changed obviously. The mRNA expression level of Bax/Bcl-2 in TAG-treated group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Caspases-3 expression was increased with the increase of TAG concentration in UV spectrophotometry (P<0.05). Conclusion: The TAG inhibited the proliferation of HT-29 cells and induced the apoptosis of HT-29 cells, and the mechanism may be associated with activating the Bax/Bcl-2 pathway.  
摘要:Objective: To analyze the inhibitory effects of Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu decoction on proliferation of ovarian epithelial carcinoma ID-8 cells in vitro, observe the effect of this method on angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and provide experimental basis for its efficacy. Method: Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to testify the inhibitory effect of Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu decoction on the proliferation of ovarian cancer ID-8 cells; decoction serum, regulatory T cells (Tregs) isolated by immune magnetic MACS MicroBeads, as well as vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) were co-cultured, and then the angiogenesis of HUVEC was observed. Result: As compared with blank control group (fetal bovine serum group), drug serum groups with concentration of 10% and 20% showed inhibitory effects on ID-8 cells, and this effect was most significant at 96 h. Serum group with concentration of 20% showed remarkable advantages against 10% group at 72 h (P<0.01) and 96 h (P<0.05). HUVECs cultivated with Treg cells exhibited a better angiogenesis process. On the other hand, the vascular network was not obvious in drug serum group, and the inhibitory effect was most significant in anti-VEGF+Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu decoction. Conclusion: Yiqi Huoxue Jiedu decoction can restrict the multiplication of ovarian epithelial carcinoma ID-8 cells, and it could intervene the angiogenesis of HUVECs, which is probably associated with the intervention on Tregs.

摘要:Objective: To investigate the toxicity and toxicity reversibility of non-lethal dose of vinegar-preparing Kansui Radix on zebrafish larvae, and validate the feasibility of zebrafish model for rapid assessment of drug toxicity. Method: Samples were continuously extracted with soxhlet extractor in different polar solvents to prepare different extracts. Healthy adult zebrafish were paired for spawning. The 72 hour-post-fertilization(hpf) zebrafish larvae were chosen as models to investigate their mortality rate after 72 h treatment with different extracts of processed Kansui. The toxicity and reversibility of the most toxic extraction part was evaluated on zebrafish cardiovascular system, liver, nervous system, gastrointestinal system, kidneys and other organs and systems. Result: The order of toxicities for different extraction parts of processed Kansui Radix on zebrafish larvae was as follows: petroleum ether extract > ethyl acetate extract > dichloromethane extract > ethanol extract. In the petroleum ether extract treated group, the liver intensity of the zebrafish larvae was significantly changed with the drug concentration, and the color the liver became dark as compared with blank group (P<0.01). Minor liver injury was found in the 0.054 mg·L-1 petroleum ether extract group by hematoxylin-eosin staining, but it was significantly improved in the recovery group. The residual was decreased significantly in 0.012, 0.036, 0.054 mg·L-1 petroleum ether extract groups as compared to blank control group and 0.004 mg·L-1 petroleum ether extract group (P<0.01), and their gastrointestinal tract was promoted to empty. Other systems had no obvious toxicity characteristics, with no statistically significant differences between the groups. Conclusion: In the petroleum ether, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts of vinegar-preparing Kansui, petroleum ether extract had the greatest toxicity, mainly in hepatotoxicity and gastrointestinal irritation on zebrafish larvae. Hepatotoxicity caused liver degeneration and showed high reversibility. What's more, zebrafish as a reliable mammal model for screening acute toxic agents has good application prospects.

摘要:As a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Dendrobium has significant effects in nourishing yin and generating body fluid, benefiting lung and eyes, resisting cancer and prolonging life, thus with a wide distribution and a long history of application. With the development of molecular biological technology, studies on Dendrobium medicinal resources have advanced rapidly. DNA marker technology has the characteristics of micro-scale and high velocity, specificity, accuracy and credibility, and provides a new method for studies on Dendrobium resources. The genetic diversity and genetic relationship among different species of Dendrobium were analyzed based on combined use of RAPD, ISSR, AFLP, SRAP and other molecular markers. The genetic information obtained from these studies could be used for the conservation and development of Dendrobium resources. The combined application of nuclear gene, mitochondrial gene and chloroplast gene can identify Dendrobium effectively and accurately, and provide scientific basis for the further development of specific molecular identification of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. At the same time, the combined use of different gene sequences can be taken as molecular markers of DNA barcode of Dendrobium, which will provide new ideas and methods for the identification of Dendrobium herbs, and improve the identification speed and efficiency of Dendrobium species effectively. In this paper, molecular identification, DNA sequences, functional genes of Dendrobium genus were discussed, in order to provide the theoretical basis for the further development and application of the medicinal plants, as well as scientific basis for the effective protection and sustainable development of Dendrobium.

摘要:To understand the development process of Dioscoreae Rhizoma in origin, processing and clinical application by sorting out the historical origin in the development of Dioscoreae Rhizoma, and preliminarily discuss the construction of the standard system of Chinese yam (Dioscoreae Rhizoma). During the analytic process, with ‘Dioscoreae Rhizoma (yam)’, ‘historical origin’ and ‘standard system’ as the key words, the related literature on yam and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) standardization was searched in CNKI, Wanfang and other databases. In addition, Compendium of Materia Medica, Miscellaneous Records of Famous Physicians, Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China (2015 edition), Flora of China and other books were accessed to summarize the history of the development of yam and trace the origin,processing and clinical application of Chinese yam. According to the actual situation, the evolution of the origin of Chinese yam has experienced a process from dispersing to concentrating in Huaiqing, Henan, and the processing technology has also undergone great evolution. Now the processing and processing technology are also being innovated. In view of the wide application of yam in clinical and daily health care, but there is still no unified planting and production standard system, the construction of the standard system of yam is to be preliminarily explored based on the current needs of the development of TCM, mainly including the planting standard system, production and processing standard system, storage and maintenance standard system, product quality standards and other standards, aimed at promoting the standardization of yam construction, and accelerating the healthy development of Chinese medicine industry.

The modern pharmacological researches also prove that it has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-tumor, immune regulation and other effects. Based on this evidence, TWHF has been applied clinically for many disorders including immune diseases, renal disease and dermatosis disease, especially for the rheumatoid arthritis. However, its severe toxic and side effects, expecially hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, prevent it from being widely used in clinical practice. Therefore, the reduction of toxicity has become a hot research topic in recent years. There are multitudinous ways for detoxicity, including the traditional cleansing method, processing method, compatibility method as well as the modern preparation method, structural modification method, biological technology method and their combined use, but all of these can't solve its safety problem essentially. In the ancient medical literature, the drug toxicity often referred to the bias of this drug. In the view of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), all of the drugs have toxicity, and the key is their correct use. The compatibility of TCM is an important part of Chinese medicine culture. From the embryonic form of compatibility in Spring and Autumn and Warring States period to the prescriptions with compatibility between monarch and ministerial drugs in Huangdi Neijin,formation of compatibility theory in Sheng Nong's Herbal Classic and spreading of classic formulations in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, the development and significance of compatibility application of TCM was recorded. With the gradual development of TCM towards modernization and internationalization, the compatibility of TCM has been further developed with quality control and clear mechanism. In this study, with TWHF detoxicity by compatibility as the center, and based on the changes of its form, the current situation and dilemma of reducing toxicity of TWHF were analyzed to provide ideas for toxicity reducing and efficacy enhancing of T. wilfordii, promote its rational development and safe clinical application, and provide a reference for the rational use of other toxic Chinese medicines.
