摘要:An in vitro cell culture technique was used to study the effects of danshensu on the myocardial hypertrophy induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ). The results showed that danshensu could inhibit the increase of the content and diameter of the total protein induced by Ang Ⅱ in cultured myocardial cells. Danshensu also showed an inhibiting effect on the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by Ang Ⅱ. The effects of danshensu manifested in the experiment was similar to those of Losartan, which implies that danshensu can inhibit myocardial hypertrophy.
摘要:The objective of this study is to study the behavior of the natural killer cell (NKC) and the immunoglobulin (IG) in the patients with chronic fatigue Syndrome (CFS) of hepatic qi stagnation and splenic qi deficiency (HQSSQD) type, and to study the mechanism of treating CFS of HQSSQD type with Xiaopiyishen Oral Liquid (XOL). Method: NKC activity and IG level in the peripheral blood in 48 patients with CFS of HQSSQD type were determined before and after XOL treatment with a comparison of the control group consisting of 30 healthy human subjects. Result: the NKC activity and IG level in the peripheral blood in the patients with CFS of HQSSQD type were significantly decreased compared with those in the subjects of the control group. After XOL treatment, the decreased NKC activity and IG level were obviously increased, and in some patients, the values were close to those found in the control group. Conclusion: the results of this study showed that XOL could improve the decreased immune function in the patients with CFS of HQSSQD type and the patients well responded to the medicine, which implies that there is a relationship between the effects of XOL and the improvement of the decreased immune function.
摘要:The objective of this experiment is to study the effects of Huqi Powder (HP) on isoenzyme in the serum of the hepatic precancerous rat model induced with aflatoxin B1 (AFB 1). Method: lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and lactic dehydrogenase isoenzyme, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzyme, and γ glutamyltranspeptidase isoenzyme Ⅱ (γ GT Ⅱ)in the serum of hepatic precancerous rats were determined by the method of agarose electrophoresis. Result: the activity of ALP 1, γ GT Ⅱ and LDH showed an abnormal increase and especially, the activity of LDH 5 was stronger than that of LDH 4; while under the influence of HP, the activity of these enzymes showed an obvious decrease. Conlusion: enzymologic detection implies that HP can obviously inhibit rat hepatic precancerosis induced by AFB 1.
摘要:In the experiment, the stimulant effects of interleukin 2 (IL 2) and Astragalus polysaccharide (AP) on the activity and proliferation of human natural killer cells (NKC) were studied by isotope releasing assay. The results showed that for different groups there were different NKC activity stimulant indexes: 16 20±2 2 for the control group, 22 40±3 8 for AP group, 40 8±4 1 for IL 2 group, and 74 21±4 5 for IL 2 plus AP group. The results also showed that for different groups there were different NKC proliferation stimulant indexes: 1 93±1 26 for AP group, 6 22±2 3 for IL 2 group, 9 30±1 8 for IL 2 plus AP group. The results imply that both IL 2 and AP can increase NKC activity and proliferation, and IL 2 in combination with AP can produce the strongest effects.
摘要:The objective of this in vitro experiment is to find an optimum gallstone litholytic for treating cholelithiasis from many kinds of litholytic. The best gallstone litholytic was ascertained by comparing the relative gallstone weight reducing rates by the in vitro method for dissolving gallstones. The results showed that in the mimic gallbladder, the oil No.1 was an optimum gallstone litholytic which dissolved gallstones fastest with the best effect.
摘要:The central inhibiting effects of matrine and other 5 sophora alkaloids were studied by receptor binding assay. The results showed that these 6 sophora alkaloids had no affinity to GABA A/BDZ receptor (IC 50 >10 4 mol/L), and their central inhibiting effects were not produced by direct GABA A receptor binding. The mechanisms of their central inhibiting effects are still the subjects that need to be studied.
摘要:The experiment was established by the orthogonal experimental design, and the content of potassium aluminum sulfate was used as the criterion for selecting the optimum factors in the manufacturing of the dried alum by the baking method. The results showed that the optimum conditions for manufacturing the dried alum by the baking method were 2400 C in temperature, 1.5 hours in time and 5 mm in granularity. The results of this experiment can be used for reference in the establishment of standard technology for manufacturing the dried alum.

摘要:A simple, sensitive and reliable TLC method was developed for the identification of the external layer of pericarp of Citrus grandis tomentosa or Citrus grandis, and capsule of Papaver somniferum which are among the ingredients of Kechuanshu Tablets (KT). This new TLC method can be used for the quality control of KT.
摘要:cases of acute upper respiratory tract infection (AURTI) were treated with Yuxingcao Injection (YI) and Shuanghuanglian Injection (SI) while the control group was given cephradine. The results showed that both the combination of YI and SI, and cephradine were effective for treating the patients, but the combination of YI and SI was more effective than cephradine. The results of this clinical study also showed that YI was suitable for treating the AURTI patients who do not have an increase in white blood cells and whose neutrophilic granulocyte classification is less than or equal to 65%.
摘要:Modified Yupingfeng Powder (MYP) consisting of the root of Astragalus membranaceus or Astragalus membranaceus mongholicus , rhizome of Atractylodes macrocephala, root of Ledebouriella divaricata, fruit of Lycium barbarum , root of Ophiopogon japonicus, and the root of Pseudostellaria heterophylla , was used prevent the recurrence of superficial herpes simplex virus keratitis (SHSVK) in 35 cases, and vitamins were used alone in 34 cases. The results showed that within 1 year, there were 2 cases of recurrence in the MYP treating group with a recurrence rate of 5.714%, 9 cases of recurrence in the vitamin treating group with a recurrence rate of 26.471%, and there was a significant difference between the 2 groups. The results implies that MYP can decrease the recurrence rate of SHSVK and thereby can decrease the rate of blindness.

摘要:The objective of this study is to observe the effects of large doses of Astragalus membranaceus (AM) on calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) in the plasma and urine of chronic renal failure (CRF) patients. Method: CGRP level was measured by radioimmunoassay in the plasma and urine of 88 CPF patients who were treated by a routine therapy and the routine therapy plus large doses of AM with 31 healthy human subjects consisting of a control group. Result: the CGRP level in the patients who received the routine therapy plus large doses of AM showed an obvious increase ( P <0 001) while the CGRP level in the patients who only received the routine therapy showed no significant change (P>0 2, P>0 05) . Conclusion: Large doses of AM can effectively increase the CGRP level in CRF patients and delay CRF development. The results of the study provide further clinical evidence for treating CRF with AM.
