OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inhibiting effect of Naomaikang(NMK) on atherosclerosis(AS) METHODS:Healthy male california rabbits were randomized into 5 groups(n=10):normal group,model group,Fenofibrate group,NMK groupⅠ(2ml) and NMK group Ⅱ(1ml) The rabbits in each group,except the normal one,were fed with hypercholestrol diet and the medicines were given to the other three groups at the same time The blood of each group was sampled for determining the platelet aggregation rate(PAR) before and after experiment The aorta of rabbit in each group was dissected out and stained with oil red 0,then the areas and incidences of plaque on aorta wall were calculated,the aortic arch was taken to observe under the light and electron microscopes RESULTS:The PAR in model group was significantly increased compared with those in other groups(P

ObjectiveTo observe the effect and mechanism of curcumin on cognitive function in the mouse model of low oxygen-induced chronic nerve injury. MethodEighty male C57BL/6 mice were randomized into eight groups: control, low-, medium-, and high-dose (100, 200, and 300 mg·kg-1, respectively) curcumin, model, model + low-dose curcumin, model + medium-dose curcumin, and model + high-dose curcumin groups (n=10). The mouse model of low oxygen-induced nerve injury was prepared by continuous stimulation with simulated oxygen concentration at Lhasa altitude (13% O2 at about 3 700 m) for 14 days. After the completion of modeling, mice in the six curcumin groups were administrated with curcumin at corresponding doses by gavage, while those in the control group and the model group were administrated with the same amount of normal saline once a day for one week. After that, open field, novel object recognition, and Morris water maze tests were carried out to reveal the behavioral changes of mice. The morphological changes of the hippocampus were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The mRNA levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the hippocampus and peripheral blood of mice were determined by real-time PCR. The activation of microglia in the hippocampus was observed by Iba-1 staining. The protein levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) in the hippocampus were determined by Western blot. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed decreased new object recognition rate (P<0.01), extended time to find the platform (P<0.01), and reduced platform crossings (P<0.05), which proved that the cognitive function of mice was impaired. Compared with model group, the model + medium-dose curcumin group showed increased new object recognition rate, shortened time to find the platform, and increased platform crossings (P<0.05,P<0.01). Moreover, the application of curcumin repaired the abnormal morphological and structural changes in the hippocampus, reduced the inflammatory cytokine levels and activation of microglia, and upregulated the expression of CREB and BDNF (P<0.05). ConclusionCurcumin demonstrates a therapeutic effect on low oxygen-induced cognitive decline, which provide a potential cure for treating chronic brain injury induced by high-altitude low oxygen in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE
To establish the quality standard of Triadica cochinchinensis and to perform the acute toxicity study.
METHODS
Appearance properties, powder microscopic identification, and thin-layer chromatography(TLC) identification were researched. The specific chromatogram was established by HPLC. The content of cadmium(Cd), lead(Pb), arsenic(As), copper(Cu), and mercury(Hg) was determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS). Acute toxicity was studied by maximum dose.
RESULTS
The outer skin of herbs was dark brown, and the inner surface was light yellow brown and fibrous. Besides, crystal sheath fiber was common, and calcium oxalate clusters arranges in rows. In the TLC diagram of the test product, the fluorescent spots of the same color were displayed at the corresponding position of the control product(scopoletin, isofraxidin). Five common peaks were calibrated in the characteristic map and the three characteristic peaks(scopoletin, isofraxidin, dimethylfraxetin) were recognized. The content of the measured heavy metal elements was lower than the national limit standard. The linear correlation coefficient was R2 > 0.999. The precision, stability, repetitive RSD were < 10%. The average recovery rate of the added sample was 80%−120%, and the RSD was < 10%. The maximum dose of the acute toxicity test was 184.09 g·kg−1. The 14 d internal body mass, food intake, organ-body ratios, the serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine were not significantly different by comparing with the normal controls. Therefore, no significant toxicity was observed.
CONCLUSION
The established standard can provide a reference for evaluating the quality of Triadica cochinchinensis. The heavy metal content of ten batches of medicinal materials is within the safe range. Acute toxicity test show that there is no obvious significant adverse teactions after oral administration, and the safe dose range is large, which can provide a reference for the subsequent development and utilization.
