Antiproliferation of human colon carcinoma cell line(SW480)by Compound Changtai Granule / 中成药

AIM:To check the antiproliferative and apoptosis-inducing effect of Compound Changtai Granule(Radix et Rhizoma ginseng,Semen coicis,Rhizoma curcumae,etc)(CCG)on human colon carcinoma cell line(SW480).METHODS:Methy thiazolyl tetrazolium chromatomerry was used to observe the influence of several concentration of CCG on SW480 cell proliferation cultured in vitro at the various times,and flow cytometry was applied to examining the change in SW480 cell proliferation cycle and apoptosis rate.RESULTS:CCG could successfully prevent SW480 cell from entering G_0/G_1 phase and G_2/M phase,decrease cell numbers in S phase at the same time.CONCLUSION:CCG has an obvious dose-response relationship in the range of 3.51 to 7.81 mg/mL.

Effect of Xiaoerkechuanning Granule on Allergic Asthma in Guinea Pigs / 中国中医药信息杂志

Objective To study the antiasthmatic effect of Xiaoerkechuanning Granule (KCN) in guinea pigs with allergic asthma. Method The allergic asthma model in guinea pigs was induced by ovalbumin (OVA), and detemine the incubation period of asthma, the content of malondiadehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) in blood serum, histopathologic changes of lungs. Results The KCN can markedly prolong the incubatin period, increase the activities of SOD, alleviate the histopathologic changes. Conclusion KCN has obviously protective effects on experimental allergic asthma in guinea pigs.
