Objective To discuss the effect of Yifei Mixture (YFM) on quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at stable phase. Methods Sixty patients with COPD were randomly divided into the control group with small dose Aminophylline Sustained-release Tablets and inhaling Salbutamol or becotide (30 cases), and the observation group with YFM 100 mL, po, Bid (30 cases). Results There was significant statistical differences between the two groups, which shows that the observation group was superior to the control group in amelioration of syndrome, pulmonary function, the times of hospitalization yearlong days, single hospitalization and the integration of SGRQ. Conclusion YFM can slow down the progression of COPD, reduce the time of hospitalization and improve quality of life.

Objective To explore the nutrition condition improvement function of Jianpihuazhuoshengxue mixture to the long-term maintenance hemodialysis patient. Methods Before the treatment, to determine the nutrition condition of 43 cases dialysis patient that are divided to treatment group and control group. The two groups are all dialyze, the treatment group are added of Jianpihuazhuoshengxue mixture. To measure nutrition condition of the two groups again after one treatment course. Results and Conclusion Jianpihuazhuoshengxue mixture can remarkably raise the dialysis patient's nutritional level, especially the plasma albumin level. Possibly the mixture improvement the nutrition condition of dialysis patient mainly through raising the plasma albumin level, thus improve quality of life of the dialysis patient.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Qingjinchangfei drink for treating AECOPD.Methods We Used random number table to separate 84 patients in to two groups:treatment group and control group.The treatment group used western medicine conventional treatment and Chinese medicine decoction Qingjinchangfei drink.The control group used western medicine conventional treatment.Both two groups were 14 days treatment.We recorded the improvement of symptoms and signs everyday.We compared the lung function,inflammatory cytokines,such as IL-8、IL-2 before and after treatment in the two groups.Results The total efficient in treatment group was obviously better than that in control group.The indicators such as clinical symptoms,signs,pulmonary function indicators were obviously better than that in control group.Compared with before treatment,IL-8,ET,MDA and TNF-? in sputum and blood were obviously lower but IL-2 was obviously higher.Conclusion Qingjinchangfei drink plus western medicine conventional treatment for treating AECOPD was obviously better than western medicine conventional treatment.

ObjectiveTransforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁） was used to stimulate human fetal lung fibroblast 1 （HFL1） for simulating the pathological process of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis （IPF） and thereby the effects and mechanism of medicated serum of Bupleuri Radix against IPF were investigated. MethodTGF-β₁ （10 μg·L^-1） was employed to stimulate HFL1， and cells were treated with medicated serum of Bupleuri Radix （5%， 10%， 15%， 20%） for 24 h. Then cell proliferation rate was determined with cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8）. Subsequently， cells were classified into the control group （20% blank serum）， TGF-β₁ group （20% blank serum and 10 μg·L^-1 TGF-β₁）， TGF-β₁ + medicated serum of Bupleuri Radix group （5% blank serum， 15% medicated serum， and 10 μg·L^-1 TGF-β₁）， and TGF-β₁ + SIS3 group （3 μmol·L^-1 SIS3， 20% blank serum， 10 μg·L^-1 TGF-β₁）. Based on in situ end labeling （TUNEL） staining， the apoptosis rate was examined， and mRNA expression of apoptosis-related proteins B-cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2）， Bcl-2 associated X protein （Bax） and myofibroblast marker α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） was detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. The protein expression of α-SMA， Ras homolog enriched in brain （Rheb）， and phosphorylated （p）-Smad3 was determined by immunofluorescence. Expression of Rheb， p-Smad3， and Smad3 was examined by Western blot. ResultThe cell proliferation rate of TGF-β₁ group increased compared with that of the control group （P<0.05）. The cell proliferation rate of TGF+15% medicated serum of Bupleuri Radix group and TGF+20% medicated serum of Bupleuri Radix group decreased compared with that of the TGF-β₁ group （P<0.01）. Compared with the control group， TGF-β₁ group showed decrease in apoptosis rate， increase in mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and α-SMA， reduction in Bax mRNA expression， and rise of α-SMA and Rheb protein expression and p-Smad3 level （P<0.05）. Compared with TGF-β₁ group， TGF-β₁ + medicated serum of Bupleuri Radix group and TGF-β₁ + SIS3 group demonstrated high apoptosis rate， low Bcl-2 and α-SMA mRNA expression， high Bax mRNA expression， and low α-SMA and Rheb protein expression and p-Smad3 level （P<0.05）. ConclusionMedicated serum of Bupleuri Radix can inhibit TGF-β₁-induced HFL1 proliferation and fibroblast-myofibroblast transition and promote fibroblast apoptosis by regulating the Smad3/Rheb axis.

ObjectiveTo explore the material basis for the difference in the efficacy of different parts of mulberry based on molecular connectivity index （MCI）. MethodBy referring to the relevant literature at home and abroad and traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform （TCMSP） database， the chemical composition database of mulberry-source medicinal materials was established. Venn analysis was carried out on the components among mulberry-source medicinal materials. The components in the database were divided into 10 categories， and the composition information was analyzed. According to MCI value， all components of mulberry-source medicinal materials were divided into different groups. The angle cosine method was used to calculate the MCI similarity. The average MCI values of the common component group from 0-8 orders and CI of mulberry-source medicinal materials were calculated. ResultThe components with high similarity such as （+）-cycloolivil， 1′-methoxy-2′-hydroxydihydromollugin， kuwanon， morusin and 1-deoxynojirimycin were selected as potential pharmacodynamic components. Mulberry-source medicinal materials could be divided into five component groups. The similarity between component groups and total components was 0.760-0.999， and the similarity between component groups was 0.248-0.999. In Mori Ramulus， Mori Folium， Mori Cortex and Mori Fructus， the average MCI values of their flavonoids from 0-8 orders were 4.57， 4.59， 6.41， 4.24， respectively. The average MCI values of alkaloids from 0-8 orders were 2.65， 4.55， 2.58， 2.78， respectively. The average CI values from 0-8 orders were 5.51， 5.49， 5.44 and 2.88， respectively. ConclusionIt is preliminarily concluded that there are differences in the flavonoids and pathways of hypoglycemic effects between Mori Cortex and the other three mulberry-source medicinal materials. The MCI values of alkaloids from 0-8 orders in Mori Folium and Mori Fructus were higher， but their inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase were lower than those of Mori Ramulus and Mori Cortex. The structural characteristics of the total components of Mori Fructus represented by CI were quite different from the other three mulberry-source medicinal materials.
