[Objective] To observe the effect of HQSM on PGI_2/TXA_2 in blood plasma of acute myocardial ischemia rats caused by injecting pituitrin. [Methods] 84 SD rats were divided into seven groups at random: normal control group,model control group,three HQSM groups(210mg/kg,150mg/kg,105mg/kg),Huangqi Shengmaiyin and DI’ao Xinxuekang. Intragastric administration was adopted once a day for 30 days.Acute myocardial ischemia model rat was established by injecting pituitrin from tail vein 1h after the last administration, and blood plasma was separated to be determined the activity of 6-Keto-PGF_ 1? and TXB_2, which is the metabolite of PGI_2 and TXA_2 in blood plasma of SD rats. [Results] Having been injected pituitrin,the activity of TXB2 upgraded while 6-Keto-PGF_ 1? /TXB_2 decreased(P

[Objective] To observe the effects of different fractions from Cortex Eucommiae on oxidation resistance and anti-despondent of Extradiol-induced kidney-yang deficiency mice,and understand the modern scientific connotation of the properties theories about sweet-flavor,warm-nature,meridian tropism in liver and kidney.[Methods] Healthy adult male ICR mice were divided into six groups randomly:normal control group,model control group,positive control group(Guifudihuang),three groups of Cortex Eucommiae(water fraction,n-butanol fraction,and acetoacetate fraction).Kidney-yang deficiency mice model was established with intraperitoneal injection of estradiol benzoate.The determined indexes included oxidation resistance indexes(activity of SOD,GSH-Px,CAT,content of MDA),anti-despondent indexes(tail suspension,activity of MAO),and anti-fatigue ability.[Results] Oxidation resistance indexes:Three fractions of Cortex Eucommiae all could decrease content of MDA,enhance activeness of SOD.The water and n-butanol fraction could enhance activeness of CAT.The water and acetoacetate fraction could enhance activeness of GSH-Px.Anti-despondent indexes:The acetoacetate fraction of Cortex Eucommiae could lengthen the activity time in tail suspension test,and three fractions of Cortex Eucommiae all could decrease activeness of MAO.Three fractions of Cortex Eucommiae all could lengthen the running distance and time.[Conclusion] Cortex Eucommiae could improve aging and depression caused by kidney-yang deficiency.Oxidation resistance and anti-despondent effects could be an important part of the main effective groups about sweet-flavor,warm-nature,meridian tropism in liver and kidney.The effects of water extract and n-butanol extract were closer and stronger,which could be the main substance basis of common effective groups.

[Objective]We established a model of Lung-Yang Deficiency.[Methods]The factors such as smoking(exogenous evil effect on lung),swimming in ice water(cold body and exhaustion),swimming in common water(exhaustion),and taking the methimazole ice solution(immune suppression and inhale cold)were adopted to establish this Lung-Yang Deficiency model.SD rats were treated for 35 days,and their physical signs(diet changes,drinking and other typical symptoms)were observed.The hemorheological parameters of the treated animals were measured.[Results]At the later period,rats in the Lung-Yang Deficiency model showed several symptoms,such as wheeze,breathlessness,meanwhile,accompanied with dullness,drinking less water,chill.Compared with the normal group,the body weight and the back temperature of the treated rats were decreased significantly.The whole blood viscosity(WBV)and whole blood reduced viscosity(WBRV)on the low shear rate were significantly increased from the normal.So was found the rigidity finger,deformed finger and electrophoresis finger of RBC parameters.[Conclusion]This model is fit to the clinical investigation of Lung-Yang Deficiency,resulting in that our method for model establishment is feasible.

Anthrax is a fatal infectious disease of human and livestock and is caused by Bacillus anthracis. To establish a simple and specific assay for the clinical diagnosis of B. Anthracis infection, two oligonucleotide primers specific for the cap region of plasmid pXO2 and two specific for the pag region of plasmid pXO1 were designed and synthesised for polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The fluorescence dye SYBR Green I incorporated into the double strands was used to quantitate, and the specificity of PCR product was confirmed by the melting curve. The results showed that 0.8?mol/L primers and 3.0mmol/L Mg 2+ were optimal for this quantitative PCR assay. The sensitivity of this assay was 10 3 copies per millitier B. anthracis could be specifically distinguished from other B. cereus group of bacteria. with this assay. SYBR Green I real-time PCR appeared to be a rapid, accurate and specific methad for quantitative analysis of B. anthracis.

[Objective] To study synergistic effect and decreasing toxicity of Sarcandra Glabra essential oils (SGE) on H22 and S180 bearing mice treated with cytoxan (CTX).[Method] Transplanting H22 and S180 mice tumor models were established to observe the tumor inhibiting rate when SGE was used in combination with CTX by two different routes of administration.While the inhibition effects of SGE in decreasing blood platelet,leukocyte and hemoglobin induced by CTX were also detected.[Result] SGE has anti-tumor and synergy effect when combined with CTX on H22 and S180 bearing mice.The H22 and S180 tumor inhibiting rates of CTX (10mg?kg-1 or 15mg?kg-1) combined with SGE (36.6mg?kg-1) by iv.were increased compared with using CTX alone (P

[Objective] To observe effects of HQSM on CK, LDH and AST activity in serum of acute myocardial ischemia rats caused by injecting pituitrin.[Method] SD rats were divided into several groups at random: normal control group,model control group, three HQSM groups(210mg/kg,150mg/kg,105mg/kg), positive control group(Huangqi Shengmaiyin and Diao Xinxuekang).The rats were treated with respective drugs by ig for 30 days, and pituitrin was injected respectively by caudal vein 1h after administering at the 29th and 30th days.Blood serum was taken out to determinate the activity of CK, LDH and AST at 1h and 24h after the last injection. [Result] The activity of LDH and AST in serum increased at 1h after injecting pituitrin, the activity of CK in serum increased,meanwhile LDH and AST was still higher than normal control group at 24h. HQSM could decrease the activity of CK and AST(P

The incidence and its growth rate of hypertension are both very high. Its pathology and pathogenesis are complex and unclear,and it does serious harm to human health. Hypertension remains incurable. Chemical medicine has good effect on hypertension,but life-long application and multi-drug combination are required,with significant adverse reactions. Also,complications can′t be effectively alleviated. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)guided by traditional theories,can lower blood pressure,improve metabolic abnormalities and reduce complications. Its advantages or potentials have not been fully exploited and clinical application is inadequate. Metabolic hypertension has become the main form of hypertension,and its formation mechanism is mainly related to metabolic abnormalities and insulin resistance,metabolic inflammation and other pathology and pathogenesis. A better understanding of the current status of antihypertensive pharmacology of TCM,especially devel?opment and application of metabolic hypertension models is of great significance for TCM treatment of hypertension,and for exploration of new approaches to hypertension.
