ABSTRACT
Objective@#Comparison of effects of Zingiberis Rhizoma and Aristolochia manshuriensis on diuretic effect and acute renal injury in rats by combining two methods of co-decoction and mixed-decoction. The effects of in vitro observation on normal human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were observed.@*Methods@#The rats were randomly divided into five groups: blank group, positive control group, aristolochia manshuriensis group, combined decoction group and divided decoction group, 8 rats in each group. The water-loading rat model was established by intragastric administration of normal saline. The urine of rats was collected and the volumes of urine were measured for 24 hours after the corresponding drugs were given to each group. After 2 weeks of gavage of the corresponding drugs in each group, the serum BUN, SCr and urine UCr and PRO levels were measured by 7600P automatic biochemical analyzer, and renal histopathology were observed by HE staining. The HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into control group, Aristolochia manshuriensis group, mixed decoction group and sub-decoction group. After 24 hour intervention, the activity of cells was detected by CCK-8 method and the apoptosis was observed by Hoechst stain method.@*Results@#There was no significant difference in 24 hour urine output between the groups (P>0.05). Compared with Aristolochia manshuriensis group, the kidney coefficient (0.010 1 ± 0.005 8 vs. 0.013 3 ± 0.007 8), SCr (38.52 ± 0.58 μmol/L vs. 46.61 ± 0.72 μmol/L), BUN (8.55 ± 0.12 mmol/L vs. 10.21 ± 0.30 mmol/L), UCr (52.21 ± 0.89 μmol/L vs. 57.71 ± 0.67 μmol/L), PRO (29.89 ± 0.18 mg/L vs. 34.23 ± 6.05 mg/L) of combined decoction group significantly decreased (P<0.05). The survival rate of HK-2 cells (72.45% ± 3.70% vs. 55.92% ± 8.39%) in combined decoction group significantly increased (P<0.01), and the apoptosis rate (7.9% ± 2.6% vs. 31.6% ± 9.1%) significantly decreased (P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#The traditional co-decoction method of Aristolochia manshuriensis compatibility with Zingiberis Rhizoma can achieve a certain attenuation effect, and the mixed-decoction group can not achieve the attenuating effec.

ABSTRACT
【Objective】To compare aristolochic acid(AA)content in Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis(CAM)and in the separated prescriptions of Longdan Xiegan Decoction(LXD),and to explore the effect of Chinese herbal medicine compatibility on AA content.【Methods】According to the herbs percentage compared to LXD,the herbs samples were named after: CAM group,LXD group,CAM group with heat-clearing herbs,CAM group with yin-nourishing herbs,CAM group with herbs for promoting urination,CAM group with Radix Glycyrrhizae,and LXD group with CAM removed.The AA content was determined by reverse phase HPLC.The chromatographic conditions were as follows: C18 Diamonsiltm analytical column,gradient eluted with a mixture of methyl alcohol,water and acetic acid(volume proportion as 74:24:1),and detection wavelength at 315 nm.【Results】AA content was the lowest in LXD group,and was lower in CAM group with yin-nourishing herbs than that in CAM group.【Conclusion】Subjecting to the theory of Chinese herbal medicine compatibility,it is feasible to reduce the CAM toxicity by composing a prescription with proper proportion of herbs.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the thermostability of aristolochic acid Ⅰand the effect of the compatibility on aristolochic acid Ⅰ in Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis decoction and to explore the detoxification mechanism of compatibility for aristolochic acid Ⅰ.Methods Analyzing the contents of aristolochic acid Ⅰ by HPLC in the single decoction of Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis,the concoction of Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis with Cortex Moutan,the residues of decocted Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis and the residues of concocted Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis with Cortex Moutan,respectively.Results Aristolochic acid Ⅰ decreased after heating in pure water,a new peak was found in HPLC spectra and supposed to be the derivate of aristolochic acid Ⅰ,which was also found in the decoction of Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis.The content of aristolochic acid Ⅰ in the concoction of Cortex Moutan with Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis is lower than that in the single Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis decoction.Furthermore,the quantity of aristolochic acid Ⅰ in the residues of Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis after concoction is lower than that in the residues of single Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis decoction.Conclusion Aristolochic acid Ⅰ is unstable in decoction and a part of it was changed into another compound.The stripping of aristolochic acid Ⅰfrom Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis is not inhibited when Cortex Moutan concocted with Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis.It is the chemical reaction of aristolochic acid Ⅰ,which could decrease the toxicity in the decoction or concoction of Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize static pressurized liquid extraction(PLE) method for the extraction of aristolochic acids Ⅰ and Ⅱ(AAⅠ and AAⅡ) from Fructus Aristolochiae and study the influences of related factors.Methods The univariate design was introduced.The operational parameters,such as the type of solvent,particle size of the sample powder,extraction temperature,pressure,static time,flush volume,the number of cycles,and the amount of sample were optimized.Results The optimized result employed methanol as extraction solvent,particle size of 100—120 meshes,extraction temperature of 120 ℃,extraction pressure of 10.3 MPa,static time of 10 min,flush volume of 40%,1 cycle,and sample amount of 1.00 g.The method was applied for four species of traditional Chinese medicinal materials including Fructus Aristolochiae,Caulis Aristolochiae Manshuriensis,Radix Aristolochiae,and Radix Arsitolochiae Fangchi.Conclusion This method can be used to completely extract AAⅠ and AAⅡ from Fructus Aristolochiae in once extraction.The comparison shows that this static PLE method is better than ultrasonication and Soxhlet methods with higher extraction efficiency and less time-consuming.It is also better than the dynamic one in the extraction of AAs from Radix Aristolochiae.
