Therapeutic Effect of Gegentang Granules on Mouse Model with hCoV-229E Pneumonia and Hanshi Yidu Xifei Syndrome / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo determine the therapeutic effect of Gegentang granules on a disease-syndrome mouse model combining human coronavirus 229E （hCoV-229E） pneumonia with Hanshi Yidu Xifei syndrome in vivo. MethodMice were randomly divided into normal group， infection group， cold-dampness group， model group， chloroquine phosphate group （0.18 g·kg-1）， interferon-α2b （IFN-α2b） group （1.83×106 U·kg-1）， Gegentang granules high-dose and low-dose groups （6.6， 3.3 g·kg-1） with 10 mice in each group. Cold-dampness environment and hCoV-229E infection were used for modeling， and the general status and lung index of mice in each group were observed. The viral load in lung tissue was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， the pathological changes in lung tissue were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， the levels of serum gastrointestinal hormones and inflammatory factors in lung tissue were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and the percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes was detected by flow cytometry. ResultComparing with model group， Gegentang granules could significantly alleviate the physical signs of Hanshi Yidu Xifei syndrome， including listlessness， weakness of limbs， sticky stool， etc. Comparing with model group， Gegentang granules high-dose group significantly reduced lung index， histopathological score of interstitial lung and bronchus， and the level of serum motilin （P<0.05， P<0.01）， two doses of Gegentang granules could significantly increase the level of serum gastrin （P<0.05， P<0.01）， the percentage of CD4+， CD8+ T lymphocytes in peripheral blood （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the level of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in lung tissue was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， and the level of interleukin-6 （IL-6） showed decreasing tendency. ConclusionGegentang granules has therapeutic effect on model mice. It can improve the appearance and behavior characterization， regulate the level of gastrointestinal hormones， decrease lung index and histopathological score， and possibly play an immunomodulatory role by inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines in lung tissue and restoring the percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes.

Protective Effects of Rosemary's Extract on Cerebral Ischemia in Mice and Acute Toxicity Evaluation / 昆明医科大学学报

Objective To evaluate the protective effects of Rosemary's chloroform extract on cerebral ischemia in mice and acute toxicity.Methods The protective of rosemary's chloroform extract on cerebral ischemia was observed and compared by the mice models of cerebral anoxia and ischemia,thrombus formation in vivo,and chloroform induced arrhythmias.Rosemary's Chloroform Extract was given orally to mice to evaluate acute toxicity.Results Rosemary's chloroform extract had different degrees of inhibition of collagen-the adrenaline induced thrombus formation,and prolonged acute ischemic mice brains off mouth breathing time and increase the number of mouth breathing (P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01);Chloroform extract significantly reduced the incidence of chloroform induced ventricular arrhythmias.Acute toxicity results suggested that a female rat died in the next day of chloroform extract group,no additional toxicity was observed.Conclusion Rosemary's chloroforrm extract has significant protective effect on cerebral ischemia and hypoxia in mice.

Advances in studies of renal adverse reactions of Leonurus heterophyllus / 中国中药杂志

Motherwort (Herb of Leonurus heterophyllus) was a traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of various kinds of gynaecological diseases, which was considered as non-toxic medicine since ancient times. However, adverse effects such as kidney damage, uterus damage, allergy and diarrhea were frequently reported recently. This paper reviews the possible target site, toxic dosage, chemical substance and other related factors of these kidney damage caused by motherwort from both the clinic and animal experiment view.

Preoperative immune state of gastric cancer patients / 第二军医大学学报

Objective: To explore the relationship between the preoperative immune state and the progress, the prognosis in patients with gastric carcinoma. Methods: The NK cell activity (lactdehydrogenase releasing),the level of T cells subgroup (FACS) were detected preoperatively. The data of intra operative findings, pathologic observations and the results of clinical follow up were also studied. Results: The preoperative immune function in cancer patients was significantly reduced compared with the control group, and it had a significantly negative correlation with the stage of the cancer, but a positive correlation with the prognostic results. Conclusion: The detection of the preoperative immune state can play an important role in the estimation of the disease progress and the prognosis in cancer patients.
