ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo establish a qualitative and quantitative analysis method for chemical constituents in Liu Junzitang（LJZT）， and to clarify its material basis. MethodThe chemical constituents in LJZT were analyzed by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS）， and the resulting compounds were identified by using databases， such as MassBank， PubChem， ChemSpider， Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analytical Platform（TCMSP）， and by combining with relevant literature. UPLC was used to establish a quantitative method for analysis of 9 compounds in LJZT， including liquiritin， hesperidin， lobetyolin， liquiritigenin， glycyrrhizic acid， nobiletin， tangeretin， atractylenolide Ⅱ and Ⅰ. ResultBy combining the relevant literature， database and MS information， a total of 79 compounds were identified from LJZT， including 31 flavonoids， 15 terpenoids， 14 nitrogen-containing compounds， 6 phenylpropanoids， 6 organic acids and 7 other compounds. The established quantitative analytical method for the nine representative components showed good linearity within their respective linear ranges， and the precision， stability， reproducibility and recovery were in accordance with the requirements. The quantitative results showed that the contents of liquiritin， hesperidin， lobetyolin， liquiritigenin， glycyrrhizic acid， nobiletin， tangeretin， atractylenolide Ⅱ and Ⅰ in LJZT were 0.376 5， 2.602 1， 0.082 6， 0.128 1， 1.778 6， 0.015 7， 0.006 7， 0.030 4， 0.003 2 mg·g-1， respectively. ConclusionThe established method can quickly， sensitively and accurately analyze the chemical constituents in LJZT， clarify that the material basis of LJZT is mainly flavonoids， terpenoids and nitrogen-containing compounds， and simultaneously determine the contents of the 9 components， which can lay a foundation for the research on quality control， mechanism and clinical application of LJZT.
ABSTRACT
AIM To study the effects of No.1 Weiyan Decoction (Codonopsis Radix,Paeoniae Radix alba,Taraxaci Herba,etc.) on hypoxia and hypoxic tolerance in gastric mucosal epithelial cells in rats with precancerous lesion of gastric cancer (PLGC).METHODS Forty rats were randomly divided into normal,model,Vitacoenzyme Tablets and No.1 Weiyan Decoction groups.Except for the normal group,the rats in the other groups were given with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and Little Chengqi Decoction to establish a PLGC rat model.Ten weeks after the administration,the gastric mucosal epithelial microvascular ultrastructure was observed,the expressions of Hif1a mRNA,HIF-1 α protein and VEGF protein in gastric mucosal epithelium were detected.RESULTS Compared with the normal group,the number of microvasculatures in gastric mucosal epithelium was decreased;lumen was severely stenosed or expansive;inner wall was not smooth and had adhesion;vascular endothelial cells were swollen;the expression of Hif1α mRNA showed an increasing trend;the expressions of HIF-1α protein and VEGF protein were anomalous in the model group.Compared with the model group,the gastric mucosal vascular lesion of PLGC rats was improved,and the expressions of Hif1a mRNA,HIF-1α protein and VEGF protein were significantly decreased in the No.1 Weiyan Decoction group.CONCLUSION No.1 Weiyan Decoction can improve hypoxia and hypoxia tolerance,and induce angiogenesis in gastric mucosal epithelium in PLGC rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the overall development of TCM technique patent in Guangdong Province through the analysis on the patent application and authorization status of TCM technique patent in Guangdong Province from 2006 to 2015. Methods CNIPR and State Intellectual Property Office platform was searched, and 2006-2015 TCM technique patent application literature in Guangdong Province were obtained, the patent application and authorization status were analyzed. Results The number of application for TCM technique patent in Guangdong Province was 1434 during 2006-2015, and the number of application and authorization rates were increasing. The number of application in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region of Guangdong Province was greater than that of the non-PRD regions, with individual application of 65.9% and enterprise application of 25.9%; A61K36 accounted for 98.7% in TCM technique patent classification statistics. Conclusion The quantity of patent application of TCM technique in Guangdong Province is large, but the number of application of non-individuals, the rate of authorization, technology statistical classification and innovation ability of TCM technique are low.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of Weipixiao on the ultrastructure of gastric mucosa capillaries in rats with precancerous lesions of gastric cancer ( PLGC). Methods The rats were randomized into six groups, including normal group, model group, Vatacoenayme Tablets group ( 0.2 g·kg-1·d-1) , and high-, middle-, and low- dose Weipixiao groups ( 15, 7.5, and 3.75 g·kg-1·d-1 respectively) . The rats received spontaneous intake of N-methyl-N’-nitro-nitrosoguanidine ( MNNG, 200 μg/mL) solution combined with irregular diet and intragastric administration of purgative herbs Xiao Chengqi Decoction ( 2 mL, containing 1 g/mL crude drug) for 18 weeks to induce spleen-deficiency PLGC. The pathological changes in gastric mucosa and the ultrastructure of gastric mucosa capillaries were observed under the transmission electron microscope. Results The model has been established successfully. Transmission electron microscopy results in the model group showed as severely swollen endothelial cells of gastric mucosa capillaries, severely-narrowing or even blocked vascular lumens, rough and discontinuous basement membrane, and swollen, degenerated or even absent pericytes. And the ultrastructure of gastric mucosa capillaries in high-, middle-, and low- dose Weipixiao groups were improved to some degrees, the effect of low-dose Weipixiao group being the best. Conclusion The improvement of the mucosal microcirculation of spleen-deficiency PLGC rats may be one of the pathohistological mechanisms of Weipixiao for spleen-deficiency PLGC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of Weipixiao, a compound recipe which has the actions of strengthening spleen, resolving stasis and removing toxins, on the histopathological changes of gastric mucosal tissue in rats with gastric precancerous lesions ( GPL) . Methods SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, Vitacoenzyme group (0.2 g·kg-1·d-1), and high-, middle-, and low-dose Weipixiao groups ( in the dose of 15, 7.5, 3.75 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively) . Except for the normal control group, the rats in other groups received spontaneous intake of N-methyl-N’-nitro-nitrosoguanidine ( MNNG) solution combined with irregular diet and oral use of purgative herbs for 18 weeks to induce GPL. From the 9th week, the mediation groups were simultaneously given corresponding medicine for 10 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the histopathological changes of gastric mucosal tissue in all groups were observed. Results Pathological scores of intestinal metaplasia and epithelial dysplasia in rat gastric mucosa of the model group were significantly increased ( P<0.01 compared with those of the normal group) , but were decreased in three Weipixiao groups to various degrees, particularly in low-dose Weipixiao group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Conclusion Weipixiao can block and reverse gastric intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia in GPL rats to certain degrees, and low-dose Weipixiao may have better long-term effect for the prevention and treatment of GPL.
