摘要:Obesity is one of the main dangerous factors that affect people’s health. The recognition of obesity in Chinese medicine was recorded as early as the days of “Huangdi Neijing”. “Huangdi Neijing” recorded that the cause of obesity was related to the dietary habits, functions of zangfu organs and people’s constitutions. The pathogenesis of obesity was related to the condition of qi, blood, phlegm turbidity and blood stasis. The types of obesity were mainly “zhiren”, “gaoren” and “rouren”. The fatty was susceptible to stroke, so the drugs administrated to them would be strong in the property and flavour, and acupuncture would be deeper and longer in acupoints. “Huangdi Neijing” also pointed out initially the psychological characteristics of the fatty. All above-mentioned recognitions have laid a solid theoretical function for the later study of obesity.

摘要:Objective To observe the changes of GAP-43 expression in hippocampal CA1 induced by 1-42 β-amyloid (Aβ1-42 ) and the influence of Jinsiwei (GETO). Methods To establish the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model by injection of agglomerated Aβ1-42 in rat hippocampus. After 4 weeks the frozen section was taken from rat brain and the number of positive neurons of GAP-43 and optical density (OD) value in hippocampal CA1 were detected with immunohistochemistry and computer image analysis technique . Results There was no significant difference between the model group and normal group in the number of positive neurons of GAP-43 in hippocampal CA1. There was a significant difference (P<0.01) between the GETO group and model group, and it was the same between the GETO group and donepezil group (P<0.01). There was a significant difference (P<0.01) between the model group and normal group in OD value of positive neurons of GAP-43 in hippocampal CA1, and it was the same between the GETO group and model group (P<0.01). But there was no significant difference between the GETO group and donepezil group. Conclusion Jinsiwei (GETO) could improve the expression of GAP-43 of hippocampus in AD rats, which furnished new information about the molecular mechanism of GETO’s effects of promoting nerve growth, improving synaptic plasticity , and the ability of learning and memory.

摘要:Objective To study the influence of Fufangbiejiaruangan Formula on the expressions of NF-κB and IκBα in tubules epithelial cells (TEC) in different periods. Method The serum with Fufangbiejiaruangan Formula was prepared in rats with uniureteroligation (UUO) and then the culture with 5% serum was given to TEC in vitro. The Western blotting method was used to detect the expressions of NF-κB and IκBα at different time points. Result TEC was stimulated with LPS and 6 hours later the activity of NF-κB in cytoplasma was increased, and karyon shifted after 12 hours. The activation of NF-κB in karyon continued to 24th hour. TEC was stimulated with LPS and 2 hours later the expression of IκBα reached the lowest point, it increased after 4 hours and reached the normal level after 8 hours. Conclution Fufangbiejiaruangan Formula can inhibit the activation of NF-κB and stop the degradation of IκBα, prevent the dissociation of NF-κB from the compound of NF-κB and IκBα, and stop the karyon shift of NF-κB. This may be the mechanism of Fufangbiejiaruangan Formula for preventing and treating renal interstitial fibrosis.

摘要:Objective To investigate the influence of Xingnaoqizhi Capsules (XC) on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity of hippocampal tissue in mice. Methods To divide randomly 120 mice into the sham- operated group, model group, XC groups in large and small dose, ginkgo group and nimodipine group with 20 mice in each group. The bilateral corotid ligation and repeated cerebral ischemia reperfusion were used to establish the mouse model of vascular dementia. After 7 days the ethological experiment and pathomorphism observation in hippocampus were made and AchE activity of hippocampal tissue was detected by atomic spectrophotometry. Results ①The ethological experiment showed that the mouse learning and memory ability decreased in model group, while increased in other groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ②The result of pathomorphism with the light microscope showed that there were ischemic pathogenic changes in mouse hippocampal tissue in model group, while these changes were less serious in other groups. ③The AChE activity of model group was obviously lower than that of the sham-operated group (P<0.01), and that of other groups were higher than model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Xingnaoqizhi Capsules has a significant therapeutic effect on vascular dementia. One of this effective mechanisms is that XC can regulate AChE activity in brain tissue and relieve the injury induced by ischemia reperfusion.

摘要:Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of resibufogenin (RBG) on transplantation tumor growth of human cervical cancer Hela cells in rude mice. Method The short and long diameter of the tumor was measured every 3 days before treatment, in treatment period (15 days) and rest period (6 days) respectively, and the approximate volume of tumor was calculated. On the 6th day after stopping treatment the tumor was weighed and observed pathologically. Results ① The large-dose of RBG (15 mg/kg) had a strong acute neurotoxicity. ② RBG had no obvious influence on weight of tumor-bearing mouse. ③ The large-dose of RBG (15 mg/kg) had an obvious inhibitory effect on transplantation tumor growth of human cervical cancer in nude mouse, but no follow-up effect after stopping treatment. RBG in dose of 15 mg/kg and Pingyangmycin in dose of 5 mg/kg were about equal in tumor-inhibitory effect. ④ The short-term neurotoxicity of RBG was not observed. Conclusion RBG has a remarkable tumor- inhibitory effect on transplantation tumor growth of human cervical cancer Hela cells in nude mice. RBG is an important principle with anti-cancer effect of Chinese herbal drug, vallicepobufagin , but it also has acute neurotoxicity. The further development of RBG should be handled with great care.
