Effects of testosterone and cortisol in sports fatigued organism by Chinese material medica of shixiang yaofa / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the endogenous hormone of testosterone and cortisol that secretes volume and rhythm in sports fatigued human bodies and animals. To determine secretory volume and rhythm in sports fatigued human bodies and animals when Shixiang yaofa's drug are used.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Radio-immunity method was used to determine secretory volume and rhythm in sports fatigued human bodies and animals and to analyze secretory volume and rhythm. According to the secretory volume and rhythm of testosterone and cortisol, the Shixiang Yaofa's drugs were used. Doses: wenyang jihuo bead 10 g/sack 2 sack, ziyin xiuyang capsule 0.5 g/pill 8 pill pd in human bodies for 28 days. Wenyang jihuo bead 10 g x kg(-1) of crude drug, ziyin xiuyang capsule 4 g x kg(-1) of crude drug pd for hight doses in animals. Other groups for low doses 5 g x kg(-1) and 2 g x kg(-1) of crude drug pd for 15 days. The blood samples were collected for determination.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>(1) In human bodies the peak value of testosterone was appeared in 8:00 and valley value was appeared in 18:00, ranges: 176.93-281.73 x 10(-5) mg x L(-1). The peak value of cortisol was appeared in 8:00 and valley value was appeared in 22:00, ranges: 1.31-16.13 x 10(-3) mg x L(-1). In the same condition, the mouse peak value of testosterone was appeared in 20:00 and valley value was appeared in 0:00, ranges: (0.56 x 10(-5) - 124.0 x 10(-5)) mg x L(-1). The rhythm in animals was compatible with human bodies, howerer, the peak value was delayed for 12 hours. (2) The testosterone was step up and the cortisol was cut down in sports fatigued human bodies and animals when shixiang yaofa's drug were used (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The secretion of testosterone and cortisol in sports fatigued human bodies and animals are existed conclusive biologic rhythm. The secretory volume can be available accommodation by shixiang yaofa's drugs.</p>

Study on chemical constituents in rhizome of Smilax perfoliate / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the components of Smilax perfoliate.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The chemical components were isolated by solvent extraction and column chromatography. The chemical structures were identified on the base of physical and spectral data.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Nine compounds were isolated and identified as palmitic acid(I), beta-sitosterol(II), delta 7-5 alpha-cholesten-3-beta-ol(III), naringenin(IV), succinic acid(V), apigenin(VI), resveratrol(VII), daucosterol(VIII) and juncusyl ester B(IX).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Compound(I), (III), (IV), (VI) and (IX) were obtained from the genus Smilax for the first time.</p>
