ABSTRACT
The five flavours of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)stand for five tastes,such as pungent,sweet,sour,bitter and salt.The five flavours not only stand for the actual tastiness of herbs,but also the effect characteristic of TCM according to traditional medical theory.So this kind of situation led to a disorder of the marking standardization of five flavours.So the authors think that we should mark herbs(or TCM)based on their true tastiness,and this way maybe help us to solve the problem and to research the relationship between the flavours and the effect of the herbs(or TCM).
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a HPLC method for the determnation of serum concentration of isoimperatorin in rats and study pharmacokinetic characteristic of isoimperatorin in rat after drug admiaistraction. Method The concentrations of isoimperatorin in rats were determined after drug administration and the pharmacokinetic parameters of isoimperatorin were estimated by DAS2.0 computer program. Result The concentration-time profiles were fitted with open two compartment model system. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows:Tmax =(1.6?0.000)h, Cmax =(15.842?0.35)mg/L, AUC0-t=(80.761?10.03)mg/(L?h), AUC0-∞=(89.45?9.34)mg/(L?h), t1/2=(5.101?0.24)h. Conclusion The method is appropriate for the determination and pharmacokinetic study of isoimperatorin in rats after drug administration.
ABSTRACT
To know about the toxicity of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei objectively by reviewing the ancient records of toxicity of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei and modern research of its adverse effect.At the same time the reasons of the adverse effect of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei were discussed based on its experiments and clinical practice to provide some reference for its research and reasonable application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect and the mechanism of sibelium on apoptosis and transcription of bcl 2 clan and interleukin 1? converting enzyme(ICE) gene in limbic system after rats' middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO).Methods MCAO model was made, and determined the dynamic changes on the cell counts of apoptosis, bcl 2 clan and ICE gene positive transcription in temple ortex, hippocampus and hypothalamus in the controls of normal saline,sibelium 50 ?g intervenient group and sibelium 100 ?g intervenient group during rats MCAO or reperfusion.Results The apoptosis counts of every times in sibelium 100?g intervenient group was significant lower than another two groups( P 0.05).The bcl 2 gene positive transcription cell counts at every times in sibelium 100?g intervenient group were significant higher than another two gruops( P
