Objective To observe the effect of Jianpi Buxue Decoction on the protein expression of neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) and CD34 in C57BL/6 mice of lung cancer after chemotherapy, and to explore the improvement of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and myelosuppression treated with Jianpi Buxue Decoction. Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice were transplanted with Lewis lung cancer cells in the armpit of left anterior limb after being fed for 7 days, and then were randomly divided into lung cancer group, model group, and high-, middle- and low-dose Chinese medicine groups. Model group and Chinese medicine groups were injected intraperitoneally with cyclophosphamide (80 mg/kg) for one day. Lung cancer group and model group were given normal saline. Chinese medicine groups were administered with high-, middle- and low-dose of Jianpi Buxue Decoction (25, 12.6, 6.25 g/kg respectively) for 14 days. After the modeling, all of the mice were sacrificed, and then the brains and spleens were sampled. Western blotting method was used to detect the protein expression of NK1R and CD34. Results Compared with lung cancer group, the protein expression of cerebral NK1R and splenic CD34 in the model group was increased significantly ( P<0.01) . Compared with the model group, the protein expression of NK1R in mice brain tissues of high-, middle- and low- dose Jianpi Buxue Decoction groups was decreased significantly (P<0.01) , while the protein expression of CD34 in spleen tissues of middle-and low-dose Jiangpi Buxue Decoction groups was increased obviously ( P<0.05) . Conclusion Jianpi Buxue Decoction has an effect on down-regulating the protein expression of NK1R in brain tissues and on up-regulating the protein expression of CD34 in spleen tissues of C57BL/6 mice with lung cancer after chemotherapy, indicating that Jianpi Buxue Decoction probably can relieve chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and can improve the myelosuppression after chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate Yiqi Huatan Decoction(YHD), a compound recipe with the actions of tonifying Qi and resolving phlegm, on aquaporin 5(AQP5), tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)and mucin 5AC(MUC5AC)in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases(COPD)rats. Methods SD rats were randomized into blank control group, model group, and low-, middle- and high-dose YHD groups(in the dosage of 7.398, 36.99, 73.98 g·kg-1·d-1 respectively). The rat model of COPD was induced by cigarette smoking combined with intratracheal dripping of lipopolysaccharide(LPS). After COPD rats were treated with YHD for 30 days, the histological features of lung tissues were observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, the expression of AQP5, TNF -α and MUC5AC in the lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry, the concentrations of AQP5, TNF-α and MUC5AC in BALF of rats were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results Compared with the blank control group, the concentration of AQP5 in BALF of the model group was decreased significantly(P<0.01), while the concentrations of TNF-αand MUC5AC were significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the pathological features of the lung tissue were relieved, and the concentration of AQP5 was increased significantly in low-, middle-, high-dose YHD groups (P<0.01), but the concentrations of TNF-α and MUC5AC were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the effect of high-dose group was superior to low-and middle-dose groups(P<0.01). Conclusion The therapeutic mechanism of YHD for COPD is probably related with the regulation of fluid transport in aquaporin water channels of rats.
