The inhibitory ratio (1%) of artificial musk on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was determined by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). The dose-effect relationship between concentrations of artificial musk and 1% was established. It was found that artificial musk had obvious inhibitory action on COX-2. The concentration for 50% of maximum inhibitory effect (IC50) was about 2.26 mg x mL(-1). There was a good relationship between the logarithm concentrations of artificial musk and 1% when the concentrations of artificial musk ranged from 0.31-20.0 mg x mL(-1). The results indicated that this EIA method could be applied to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of artificial musk quickly, conveniently, sensitively and exactly. This paper provided a novel method and foundational research for the bioassay of artificial musk.

This study is to investigate the authenticity between COLD and HOT natural attribute in the famous Chinese medicine formulas--Zuojinwan (Coptis-Evodia 6 : 1) and Fanzuojinwan (Coptis-Evodia 1 : 6) based on mice temperature tropism, and establish an objective method to estimate the difference of two natural attribute by using a cold/hot plate differentiating technology. The results indicated that the COLD nature Zuojinwan could decrease significantly the remaining rate of HOT-symptom rat on warm pad (P < 0.05). That was not notable to COLD-symptom rat. The interference result of COLD-HOT temperature tropism to COLD/HOT symptom rat in Fanzuojinwan was the reverse with the COLD nature Zuojinwan. Meanwhile, biochemical indicators which are relative to energy metabolism such as ATPase enzyme activity and total anti-oxidant capability (T-AOC), had corresponding change in the organism. In the study, the COLD and HOT natural tendency in Zuojinwan and Fanzuojinwan which were composed by the same herbs with different proportion could be expressed qualitatively, quantitatively, objectively and directly with applying animal temperature tropism, and be verified to philosophical idea of treating disease theory with "expelling heat with cold herbs and cryopathy requiring warm prescription", not "expelling heat with heat herbs and cryopathy requiring cold prescription" in ancient traditional Chinese medicine, which brings a new approach in investigation of the nature theory of traditional Chinese medicine.

Aim To study the effect of 3-pyridin-3-yl-4-[(4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)amino]-5-me-thylsulfanyl-4H-[1,2,4] triazole (LH-37) on induction of differentiation and apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma BEL-7402 cells. Methods BEL-7402 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 and treated by LH-37 at different doses. The proliferation of the cells and the inhibition effect of LH-37 on the cell proliferation were examined by MTT assay. The reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the changes of alpha fetoprotein(?-FP)mRNA and albumin(Alb). The concentration of ?-FP in the cells was detected by ELISA assay. Cell morphology was observed by fluorescence microscope techniques. The protein expressions of active caspase-3 in BEL-7402 cells were observed by immunohistochemical staining. Western blot was used to assay caspase-3 and caspase-9. Colorimetric method was used to assay activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The apoptotic cells were assayed by flow cytometry (FCM) with annexin V-FITC conjugated and propidium iodide (PI) staining. Results The cell proliferation was inhibited by LH-37 at 10 ?mol?L-1~1 mmol?L-1 in dose dependent manners. After treated with 10 ?mol?L-1 or 1.0 ?mol?L-1 LH-37, the mRNA and protein expression of ?-FP were significantly reduced but mRNA expression of Alb was significantly increased. Treatment of BEL-7402 cells with different LH-37 concentrations for 48 hours increased the percentage of active caspase-3 positive cells and protein expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9. More apoptosis features of cells were observed in LH-37 ( 100 ?mol?L-1) treatment groups than in control group. LH-37 markedly promoted the viability of SOD and decreased CAT in BEL-7402 cells. Counclusion LH-37 might inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation and apoptosis of human hepatocarcinoma BEL-7402 cells, which might be related to the cytotoxicity of the intracellular hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).

OBJECTIVETo investigate the objectivity and authenticity of the difference of the Cold and Hot nature between Mahuang decoction and Maxingshigan decoction based on the cold/hot plate differentiating assay.
METHODThe measuring time and dosage of Mahuang decoction and Maxingshigan decoction were investigated before the compliance experiment. Meanwhile, the activities of adenosine triphosphatase were detected in order to probe into the mechanism of their action.
RESULTIt was found that the drug dose should be 10 times amount to human dose (0.80 g x kg(-1) of Mahuang decoction and 2.26 g x kg(-1) of Maxing Shigan decoction) and the measuring time should be from 30 min to 60 min after administering. Compared with the control group, the remaining ratio of the mice treated with Mahuang decoction on the hot pad significantly decreased (P < 0.01). Compared with Mahuang decoction, the remaining ratio of the mice treated with Maxingshigan decoction on the hot pad significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the Na(+) -K(+) -ATPase activity of liver tissue of the mice treated by Mahuang decoction significantly increased (P < 0.05), while the activity of Na(+) -K(+) -ATPase and Mg(2+) -Ca(2+) -ATPase of liver tissue of the mice treated by Maxingshigan decoction reduced significantly (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThis study showed that the differences of Cold and Hot nature of Mahuang decoction and Maxingshigan decoction were objectively existent from animal ethology, which was consistent with the traditional theroy of Chinese medicine. And the changes of ATPase activity of liver tissue might be the mechanism of drug action.
