5. Medicinal plants of Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Daodi: Insights from phylogeny and biogeography
Chinese Herbal Medicines 2018;10(3):269-278
Objective: The Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015) includes 584 plant medicines, of which 284 also contain high quality subsets, so called “Daodi” components, where Daodi denotes superior clinical properties compared to non-Daodi counterparts despite being sourced from the same species. Commercial and clinical drivers of selection for Daodi have been described elsewhere. Our objective is to investigate the overall composition of Daodi to determine in what ways medicines with Daodi as a whole differ from the other plants of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. A further objective is to characterise the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Daodi in terms of the plant species including their traits and distribution. Methods: We used trait analysis to identify whether Daodi species were significantly different from the remaining Chinese Pharmacopoeia plant species in any traits. We used biogeographic methods and an existing classification of Daodi into 10 regions to identify spatial patterns amongst the species. Regression and binomial analyses were used to test for over- and under-use of plant families and endemic species. Preferences for lineages were visualized using phylogenetic mapping. Results: We found that Daodi species (species with any Daodi subset) were more likely to be roots that are “hot” or “warm” and less likely to be “oxic” according to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) concepts. Roots were over-represented in the Bei region, and whole plants over-represented in Guang. Both the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Daodi indicated preferences for families not common in previously studied ethnopharmacopoeias, and fewer endemic species were represented than expected by chance. Conclusion: Using the phylogenetic and biogeographical methods, we highlighted patterns of plant use, and the biological characters of Daodi medicinal plants. Our study points towards cultural preferences in need of scientific explanation.

As an important resource for a country to participate in international high-tech competition in the bio-pharma-ceutical field, clinical research resources play a key role in the multi-center clinical research and the translation from basic research to clinical practice.China has a large population and diverse diseases, but chinical disease research relevant policies and regulations are imperfect.In contrast, the United States has perfect laws and regulations related to clinical research.By comparatively analyzing the disease resource, platform support and regulatory environment between China and the U.S., this article offers suggestions on the development of clinical research resources so as to facilitate the clinical research in China.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and promising applications of percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography in detecting sentinel lymph nodes(SLNs).Methods Twenty five rabbits with VX2 tumor were included in this study.0.05 ml SonoVue was injected into the liver parenchyma at 12,3,6,9 points around the VX2 tumor.The situation of contrast-enhanced lymph-vessel emited from injected point and lymph nodes in hepatic portal or around tumor was observed,and then the position of the lymph nodes were detected with the help of the mark on the surface of the portal vein,caput pancreatis,collum vesicae biliaris.Methylene blue (MB) was injected in the same way as above.The injected points were massaged for five minutes,and then executed the experimental rabbits.The lymph nodes enhanced and all the lymph node dyed or not were taked out for recorded and pathologic examination.Results 34 SLNs were conformed by operation and pathological diagnosis in all the rabbits.All SLNs were confirmed pathologically,28 lymph nodes which were checked out by percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography were all SLNs.In all the 31 lymph nodes which were checked out by MB,25 lymph nodes were SLNs and the rest were the second degree lymph nodes.The detection rate of percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography (82.4%) and the MB (91.2%) showed no significant difference(P =0.169).There were 6 SLNs enhanced uniformitily in which 2 SLNs encroach by cancer cell and 22 enhanced asymmetrically in which 21 SLNs encroach by cancer cell.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography to detcect the SLNs benign or malignancy was 95.5% (21/28),66.7%(4/6) and 89.3 % (25/28).Conclusions Percutaneous transhepatic lymphosonography is a reliable and noninvasive method to detect and estimate the SLNs of hepatic cancer.

Objective To assess the changes in frequency of peripheral T lymphocytes expressing different cytokines in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) before and after treatment with BCG-PSN and their relationship with disease severity. Methods A randomized, double blinded and placebo cross-over control study was conducted. A total of 8 patients with AD were recruited in this study. Intramuscular BCG-PSN or placebo was given to patients every other day for 36 days. Flow cytometry was performed to measure the frequency of IL4-, IL5-, IFN-γ- and TNFα-expressing peripheral CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells before and after the therapy. Disease severity was evaluated by atopic dermatitis area and severity index score (ADASIS). Results The difference value in IFN-γ+CD8+ T cell frequency before and after therapy was significantly higher in patients treated with BCG-PSN than in those with placebo (8.056 ± 13.962 vs -6.549 ± 10.491, U = 2.26, P< 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the frequency of IL4-, IL5-, TNFa-expressing CD8+ T cells between BCG-PSN- and placebo-treated patients (all P > 0.05). The decrease in ADASIS was 1.56 ± 1.49 in patients treated with BCG-PSN, which was statistically higher than that in placebo-treated patients (-0.05 ± 1.54, U = 2.00, P< 0.05). Conclusion As an immunomodulator, BCG-PSN may control AD by restoring the balance of T-cell subsets.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Shenfu qiangxin(SFQX)pills on the expression of autophagy-associated pro-tein LC3b and pro apoptotic gene Bax in myocardial cells of rats with cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). METHODS:Rats were ran-domly divided into sham operation group(water),model group(water),positive control group(Captopril tablets 2.3 mg/kg)and SFQX pills high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups [13.2,6.6,3.3 g(crude drug)/kg],with 10 rats in each group. CRS mod-el was induced in those groups by abdominal-aortae-constriction+acute renal ischemia reperfusion injury except for sham operation group;and they were given relevant medicine intragastrically 8 week after operation,once a day,for consecutive 4 weeks. Plasma contents of Cr and ALD,the protein expression of LC3b and Bax in myocardial tissue of rats were detected 24 h after last medica-tion;ventricular index was calculated,and morphological change of myocardial tissue was observed. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,the plasma contents of Cr and ALD,ventricular index and the protein expression of LC3b in myocardial tis-sue increased significantly in model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01);and myocardial cell suffered from endochylema red deletion, myocardial cross striation disorder,intercellular space fibrosis aggravation and so on. Compared with model group,the plasma con-tents of Cr and ALD(except for positive control group)and the protein expression of LC3b and Bax in myocardial tissue decreased significantly in positive control group and SFQX pills high-dose group(P<0.05 or P<0.01);myocardial pathological change was improved;the ventricular index decreased significantly in SFQX pills low-dose and medium-dose groups (P<0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:SFQX pills can decrease the plasma contents of Cr and ALD,inhibit myocardial cell autophagy and apoptosis in CRS rats.
