ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To study the improvement effect of Shenling baizhu p owder on irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea（IBS-D）model mice with anxiety ，and to elucidate its mechanism from the point of view of intestinal microecology. METHODS：C57 BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank control group ，model group ，Shenling baizhu powder group （3.6 g/kg），with 8 mice in each group. Except for blank control group ，IBS-D model with anxiety was established in model group and Shenling baizhu powder group by giving corticosterone subcutaneously combined with intragastric administration of Folium Sennae decoction and chronic restraint treatment. After modeling ， blank control group and model group were given intragastric administration of normal saline ，and Shenling baizhu powder group was given relevant medicine intragastrically ，for consecutive 4 weeks. After last medication ，loose stools rate ，diarrhea index ，body weight ，sugar water preference percentage ，the times of crosssing open field center area and minimum pain threshold as well as the levels of BDNF in hippocampal tissue and 5-HT in serum were detected in each group. The cecal contents of mice in each group were extracted for microbial DNA extraction and sequencing； the abundance and diversity of intestinal microorganisms were analyzed by Alpha and Beta diversity analysis. RESULTS ： Compared with blank control group ，body weight ，sugar water preference percentage ，the times of crossing open field center area and minimum pain threshold as well as the levels of BDNF in hippocampal tissue ，relative abundance of Firmicutes phylum microorganism in intestine ， relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group genus microorganism were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）；loose stools rate，diarrhea index ，serum level of 5-HT，relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia phylum microorganism and relative abundance of Ackermann phylum microorganism were increased significantly （P＜0.05），and there were great differences in the types of intestinal microorganisms. Compared with model group ，body weight ，sugar water preference percentage ，the times of crossing open field center area ，minimum pain threshold ，BDNF level of hippocampus ，relative abundance of Firmicutes phylum microorganism，relative abundance of Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group genus microorganism were increased significantly （P＜ 0.05 or P＜0.01）；loose stools rate ，diarrhea index ，serum level of 5-HT，relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia phylum microorganism and relative abundance of Ackermann phylum microorganism were decreased significantly （P＜0.05），and and there were great differences in the types of intestinal microorganisms. CONCLUSION ：Shenling baizhu powder can improve the diarrhea and anxiety behavior of IBS-D model mice with anxiety ，increase the level of BDNF in hippocampus and decrease serum level of 5-HT. Its mechanism may be related to decreasing relative abundance of Verrucomicrobia phylum microorganism and Ackermann phylum microorganism ，increasing the relative abundance of Firmicutes phylum and Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group genus microorganism.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the degradation effect of gamma-rays radiation sterilization on the effective constituents in Simiao Junyi ointment and study the changes of fingerprint chromatography before and after the sterilization to provide basis for the feasibility of gamma-rays radiation sterilization for Simiao Junyi ointment. Methods:The contents of tetrahydropalmatine and PNS ( Panax Notogin-seng saponins) in Simiao Junyi ointment were determined by HPLC, and the fingerprint chromatography was established. The content changes of tetrahydropalmatine and PNS in Simiao Junyi ointment before and after the gamma-rays radiation sterilization were compared among the same batch and various batches, and the relative retention time and relative peak area in the fingerprint chromatography were also compared. Results:The content of tetrahydropalmatine had no change basically before and after the gamma-rays radiation steriliza-tion(P >0. 05), and there was no change in the total content of PNS (P >0. 05). Comparing the HPLC fingerprint chromatography at 280 nm, the relative retention time had statistically significant change after the gamma-rays radiation sterilization ((P 0. 05). The number of characteristic peaks reduced by one, namely the C8 characteristic peak disappeared in the pasteurized chromatography, and the areas of C6, C9 and C14 peak decreased significantly, while that of C12 increased. Conclusion:Gamma-rays radiation sterilization have no notable effect on the content of tet-rahydropalmatine and PNS in Simiao Junyi ointment, it can be used for the sterilization of Simiao Junyi ointment.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish an analytical method for HPLC fingerprint chromatography of Simiao Junyi ointment to provide basis for the quality control standard. Methods:The separation conditions were established to obtain the HPLC fingerprint chromatog-raphy of the main ingredients in Simiao Junyi ointment. The conditions were as follows:the chromatographic column was Ultimate C18-ODS(250 mm ×4.6 mm,5 μm), the mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% phosphate solution, the flow rate was 1.0 ml·min-1, the detection wavelength was 280 nm, and the column temperature was 35℃. The common peaks in the chromatography were analyzed for their belongings. Results:Gradient elution was performed under the above optimal separation conditions, the constituents in Simiao Ju-nyi ointment were separated from each other perfectly, and the optimal fingerprint chromatography was obtained. Though the methodolo-gy examination, the indicators such as precision, stability and repeatability of the method were all promising, and the fingerprint chro-matography could be seen clearly and was easy to be analyzed. The relationships between Simiao Junyi ointment and the common peaks of four medicinal materials in the fingerprint chromatography were preliminary determined, which provided important basis for the quali-ty control of Simiao Junyi ointment. Conclusion:The HPLC fingerprint chromatography of Simiao Junyi ointment can be used as an a-nalysis method for the quality control of Simiao Junyi ointment, which provides reference for the quality control standard for the finished product.
