RESUMO
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.

RESUMO
Bone-modifying agents (BMA) is a series drugs to alleviate the pain,pathological fractures,spinal cord compression,hypercalcemia,bone-related events which induced by bone metastases.Bisphosphonate drugs and denosumab are two dominant kinds of BMA at present.It has been proved that BMA is used in bone metastases patients with bone destruction,as adjuvant therapy for chemotherapy and radiotherapy,which can significantly improve the efficacy and prolong the survival of patients.In addition,some traditional Chinese medcine can effectively relieve a series of related symptoms caused by bone metastases and improve prognosis.Choosing right medication in clinical work can maximize the reduction of pain caused by bonerelated events and improve the quality of life of patients.
RESUMO
In order to discover the mechanism of Xuebijing oral effervescent tablet (XBJOET) to treat infectious diseases, the effect of XBJOET on endotoxin induced rabbit fever and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was investigated. Auricle microcirculation in rabbit was detected by laser speckle blood perfusion imager system; coagulation function was measured by coagulation analyzer, fibrinolytic system was quantified by Elisa assay and micro thrombosis in tissues was observed with HE staining under light microscope. The results demonstrated that the body temperature of rabbit decreased significantly at 1-3 h after administration with 4.8, 2.4 and 1.2 g x kg(-1) XBJOET to endotoxin induced DIC rabbit model, the auricle microcirculation blood flow in model group (54.45 +/- 14.53) PU was lower than that in control group (77.18 +/- 12.32) PU. The auricle microcirculation blood flow increased markedly and there was significant difference between model group and 1.2 g x kg(-1) XBJOET group. There was significant difference between model group and control group in the content of PAI1 and FIB. The PAI1 levels in model and control groups were (30.48 +/- 2.46) ng x mL(-1) and (20.93 +/- 3.25) ng x mL(-1), respectively. The FIB levels in model and control group were (3.34 +/- 1.09) g x L(-1) and (4.84 +/- 1.10) g x L(-1), respectively. The content of PAI1 in rabbit plasma decreased notably, there were significant differences between model group and 4.8, 2.4 g x kg(-1) XBJOET groups. On the contrary the content of FIB increased. XBJOET possessed pharmacological activities of curing infectious fever and DIC, the mechanism of which is related to amelioration of microcirculation disturbance, inhibition of fibrinolytic system activation and coagulation and micro thrombosis elimination.
RESUMO
This study is to investigate the treatment of Jin Chai antiviral capsule for influenza virus FM1/47 (H1N1) infection. The model of pneumonia was established by dropping influenza virus into the nose of normal mice, real-time PCR and Western blot technique were used to detect the virus load and the interferoninducible transmembrane protein3 (IFITM3) in lung of mice at the 1st day, 3rd day, 5th day and 7th day after affected. The results showed that Jin Chai antiviral capsule in large, middle, small dose groups can decrease virus load significantly at each time point, after being affected (P<0.05, P<0.01), Jin Chai antiviral capsule can increase the interferoninducible transmembrane protein3 in lung of mice, large dose groups are significantly higher in expression of IFITM3 compared with model group at each time point (P<0.05, P<0.01). Middle dose groups are significantly higher in expression of IFITM3 compared with model group at the 3th day and the 5th day (P<0.05), small dose groups are significantly higher in expression of IFITM3 compared with model group at the 3th day (P<0.05). It can be concluded that Jin Chai antiviral capsule exerts antiviral effects against influenzavirus by raised expression of IFITM3.
RESUMO
Qingkailing injection, Shuanghuanglian injection, baicalin, chlorogenic acid as sample, guinea pig as control, to observe the specificity of allergic response to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injection in BN rats and establish a suitable animal model to evaluate applicability of allergic response in BN rats and guinea pigs induced by TCM. BN rats were sensitized by TCM injection, the symptoms, the rate and degree of allergic response were observed, the level of histamine in serum and tissues were determined by ELISA assay, the rate and degree of pathological changes in target organs were observed by HE staining under light microscope. There were significant symptoms of allergic response can be in BN rats, the level of histamine in serum, lung and trachea tissues increased significantly and there were significant pathological changes in lungs and tracheas. Meanwhile, the similar symptoms of allergic response can be induced by penicillin and trichosanthin. The rate and degree of allergic response, the rate and degree of pathological changes was higher in BN rats than in guinea pigs. Compared with guinea pig, BN rat is probably more suitable animal model in evaluating allergic response to injection of TCM.

It is to investigate the effect of two kinds of Houttuynia Cordata Injection on preventing and treating H1N1 influenza virus infection in mice. Pneumonia model was set up by intranasal infection of the normal and immunocompromised mice with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. The two injections were administered before and after the administration of virus, separately, and the lung index was observed. The results showed that the two preparations have obvious therapeutic effect on normal mice infected with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. And to FM1, the new injection's effect is better at small dosage. The results also showed that the two preparations have obvious prophylactic effect on immunodepressed mice infected with influenza virus FM1 and PR8. And to PR8, the old injection's effect is better at small dosage. Houttuynia Cordata Injection can improve the mice pneumonia caused by influenza virus H1N1 and decrease the lung index markedly. It has a remarkable preventive and therapeutic effect on H1N1 influenza virus in mice.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effect of the Gardenia extracts T9 on herpes simplex virus (HSV) viral protein 16(VP16) in HSV-1 infected mice's brains and its potential anti-viral mechanism. Methods HSV-1 infection was induced in BALB/c mice, the expression of HSV VP16 was detected by RTPCR on the 4th, 7th, 10th, 14th, and 21st day. Results The expression of VP16 mRNA decreased in both groups of large and low doses compared with virus group at the same time. Conclusion Gardenia extracts T9 can down-regulate the expression of VP16 mRNA in HSV infected mice's brains, and it may be one of its anti-HSV mechanisms.
