Comparison of integration processing technology of origin and traditional cutting processing technology of Moslae Herba for lung-Yang deficiency rats / 中国中药杂志

To compare the effect of integration processing technology of origin (IPTO) and traditional cutting processing technology (TCPT) of Moslae Herba for lung-Yang deficiency rats caused by complex factors, analyze the mechanism, and provide the modern pharmacology basis for the implementation of IPTO of Moslae Herba. The rat models of lung-Yang deficiency were established by smoking + swimming in ice water + drinking ice water. The model rats were randomly divided into different groups, and were treated with intragastric administration for 30 d. Then the general signs, anal temperature and autonomic activity of the rats were observed. The pathological morphology of lung tissues was observed, and the positive expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) was observed by immunohistochemical method, and the hematological indexes were determined. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to detect serum nitric oxide (NO), immunoglobulin G (IGG), malondialdehyde (MDA), thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) level, and the organ coefficients of heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and other organs were calculated. According to the results, Moslae Herba volatile oil and decoction could improve the general signs and autonomic activities of lung-Yang deficiency rats, improve the body weight, rectal temperature, and the content of IGG in serum of lung-Yang deficiency rats, reduce organ coefficients of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney, serum NO, MDA, TXB2, IL-8 contents, white blood cell and TNF-α mean optical density in the lung tissues of rats. witg statistically significant difference (<0.01 or <0.05). The effects of IPTO volatile oil and water decoction were slightly higher. Therefore, Moslae Herba has therapeutic effect on lung-Yang deficiency rats, and ICPT has better effect, whose mechanism may be related to the intervention of TNF-α expression, improving the level of IGG, and inhibiting NO, MDA, IL-8, and TXB2 levels.

Discussion on Xiaoqinglong Decoction and Lung Yang Deficiency / 中国中医药信息杂志

Xiaoqinglong Decoction comes from Shang Han Lun, which is the main treatment for wind chill and fluid retention. It is treated as a classic formula for cold-cough, which syndromes of no sweat but tight pulse, cough, cough with white phlegm, and vomiting. This article discussed the efficacy of Xiaoqinglong Decoction in tonifying yang in lung, which can help transport phlegm, and then cough can be relieved.

The Research of Multi-factors Combination to Induce Lung-Yang Deficiency Rats / 浙江中医药大学学报

[Objective]We established a model of Lung-Yang Deficiency.[Methods]The factors such as smoking(exogenous evil effect on lung),swimming in ice water(cold body and exhaustion),swimming in common water(exhaustion),and taking the methimazole ice solution(immune suppression and inhale cold)were adopted to establish this Lung-Yang Deficiency model.SD rats were treated for 35 days,and their physical signs(diet changes,drinking and other typical symptoms)were observed.The hemorheological parameters of the treated animals were measured.[Results]At the later period,rats in the Lung-Yang Deficiency model showed several symptoms,such as wheeze,breathlessness,meanwhile,accompanied with dullness,drinking less water,chill.Compared with the normal group,the body weight and the back temperature of the treated rats were decreased significantly.The whole blood viscosity(WBV)and whole blood reduced viscosity(WBRV)on the low shear rate were significantly increased from the normal.So was found the rigidity finger,deformed finger and electrophoresis finger of RBC parameters.[Conclusion]This model is fit to the clinical investigation of Lung-Yang Deficiency,resulting in that our method for model establishment is feasible.
