ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to investigate the research on pharmacological effects, relevant ideas and methods of Guangdong native heat-clearing and toxin-removing herbs. Literatures on pharmacological effects of Guangdong native heat-clearing and toxin-removing herbs were collected, summarized and analyzed. The results showed that most Guangdong native heat-clearing and toxin-removing herbs had obvious effects of anti-microbial, anti-bacterial endotoxin, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic effect. It also had obvious antivenomous and analgesia effect. Based on research ideas and methods of Guangdong native heat-clearing and toxin-removing herbs, we clarified the confusion species as soon as possible, and adhered to the whole animal experiments in combination with in vitro experiments and computer molecular docking simulations for the complementation of each other. It was concluded that the study on pharmacological effects of Guangdongnative heat-clearing and toxin-removing herbs provided strong support in its clinical application. Ideas and methods provided in this article was the main way to explain pharmacological effects of Guangdong native heat-clearing and toxin-removing herbs.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality criteria for Huangzhi oral liquid.METHODS:TLC was employed to for the qualitative identificaiton of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei,Leech and Fructus Arctii;the content of total nitrogen was determined by KjeLdahL determination and content of Chrysophanol in Radix et Rhizoma Rhei in Huangzhi oral liquids was determined by HPLC.RESULTS:The TLC chromatograms of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei,Leech and Fructus Arctii presented the spots of the same colors with those at the corresponding places in the chromatograms of the controls.There was a good linear relationship within the concentration range of 1.696～ 8.480? g? mL-1 for Chrysophanol(r=0.999 8).The average recovery was 99.60%(RSD=1.37%,n=9).CONCLUSION:The methods are accurate and reliable with a strong specificity and can be used for the quality control of Huangzhi oral liquid.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the inhibitory actions of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro.METHODS:The IC50(50% inhibiting concentration)of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro was measured by MTT assay.RESULTS:The inhibitory actions of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro were enhanced with the increase of the concentration in a concentration-dependent manner,with formulation Ⅲ showing the most potent inhibitory action on CNE-2 cells in vitro.CONCLUSION:The heat-clearing and detoxicating traditional Chinese drugs could markedly inhibit the proliferation of CNE-2 cells.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the antipyretic and analgesic effects of Compound tuniuxi sirup.METHODS:Fever was induced by dry yeast in SD rats,then divided the rats into high-dose(33.12g/kg),medium-dose(16.56g/kg),low-dose(8.28g/kg)and control,aspirin group,observed the antipyretic effect;The mice were divided into high-dose(47.84g/kg),medium-dose(23.92g/kg),low-dose(11.96g/kg)and control,aspirin group,then were investigated with hot plate and acetic acid induced body twist.RESULTS:Compound tuniuxi sirup can markedly inhibit the fever in the model anmals 1 hour later,the effect of the high,medium groups are similar to aspirin;and could increase the pain threshold obviously(the low-dose group is obviously in 1.5h～2h(P
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study the action mechanism of kunzao tiaozhi capsule in the treatment of fatty liver with hyperlipidemia.METHODS: A total of 59 rats were randomly divided into normal control group(n=10),model group(n=11),positive control group(n=10) and kunzao tiaozhi capsule group(at high,medium and low doses,n=9,9,10).Rat model with fatty livers was established in all the groups except the normal control group by feeding high-fat forage and 30% alcohol,and the corresponding solvents or medicine were given during the modeling,10 weeks later,the S-phase cell percentages(SPF) of the liver cells in rats and proliferation index(PI) were determined by flow cytometry methods.RESULTS: As compared with the normal control group,PI and SPF values in the modeled rats increased significantly(P
