ABSTRACT
Objective This paper was to observe the immediate protective effects of Radix Codonopsis,Radix Rheum,Radix Salvia and Shu Gan Tiao Wei Tang on gastric mucosas and to discuss the universality of the immediate protection of Traditional Chinese Medicine.Method The drugs were given oral to rats,then the absolute ethanol 2ml were administered immediately to observe the effects of decoction of Radix Codonopsis,Radix Rheum,Radix Salvia and Shu Gan Tiao Wei Tang on gastric mucosal damage;respectively.Results ⑴The 10g/kg of Radix Codonopsis decoction pre-injected oral inhibited markedly gastric mucosal damage with 79 9% of the inhibitory rate.⑵The 12g/kg of Radix Rheum decoction was pre-injected oral,the inhibitory rate was 48 1%.⑶When the 12g/kg of Radix Salvia decoction was pre-injected oral,the inhibitory rate was 61 53%.⑷When the 6g/kg of Shu Gan Tiao Wei Tang pre-injected was oral,the inhibitory rate was 56 84%;When the 12g/kg of Shu Gan Tiao Wei Tang was pre-injected oral,the inhibitory rate was 79 79%.Conclusions All of the Radix Codonopsis,Radix Rheum,Radix Salvia and Shu Gan Tiao Wei Tang possessed the immediate protective effect on gastric mucosas.Among the onefold drugs,the effect of Radix Codonopsis is the strongest,the Radix Salvia is secondly and the Radix Rheum is last.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To study the effect of intraventricular injection(icv) of histamine(HA) on corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) neurons activity in paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of hypothalamus. METHOD: Fos ontogenic protein immunohistochemistry and double antigen immunohistochemistry method; semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method were used. RESULTS: After intraventricular injection of HA, (1) number of Fos immunnoreactive positive neurons in PVN increased significantly; (2) double labeling experiments showed that there were 31 78%?1 59% of Fos immunoreactive cells in PVN expressed CRH simultaneously; (3) the CRHmRNA level in PVN was increased in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Central histamine activated CRH neurons in PVN of hypothalamus and increase the expression of CRH gene.
