Objective To study the protective effects of aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract of Isodon lophanthoides var.gerardianus (Benth.)Hara (ILVG) on immunity hepatic injury induced by concanavalin A (Con A) in mice.Methods One hundred and eight NIH mice were allocated into normal control group,model group,ILVG groups of aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract (low-,middle-and high-dosage),and bifendate group randomly.In the experimental groups,mice received either ILVG aqueous extract or alcohol-soluble extract (18.20 g?kg-1,9.10 g?kg-1,4.55 g?kg-1 respectively) or Bifendate (45 mg?kg-1) by gastric perfusion daily for consecutive 5 days.In the 5th day,Con A (20 mg?kg-1) was injected into mice via the tail vein 4h after administration.And then the blood was obtained by picking out the eyeball and the serum was separated after 8-hour fasting.The serum levels of ALT and AST were analyzed,the body weight as well as the weight of liver,spleen and thymus were measured,and pathological features of hepatic tissue were observed.Results ILVG can decrease the ALT and AST,restrain the enlargement of liver and the shrinkage of thymus and reduce the necrosis of hepatic tissue.Conclusion Aqueous extract and alcohol-soluble extract of ILVG possess the effects of protecting liver from immunity injury induced by Con A in NIH mice.

Objective To investigate the regularity of chronopharmacology of bruceolic oil emulsion ( BOE) in treating H22 tumor-bearing mice. Methods The KM mice model bearing H22 hepatocellular carcinoma was established. And then the model mice were divided into groups according to the condition of illumination and medicine intervention. After treatment for 10 days, the tumor-growth inhibitory rate, viscera indexes, and hepatic and renal function indexes were observed. Results Tumor mass and ratio of tumor mass to body mass were decreased in medication groups under the normal and disordered illumination. The tumor mass and ratio in mice treated with BOE before dark phase of normal illumination and disordered illumination, and during the dark phase of disordered illumination differed from those of the model group at the corresponding illumination phase (P<0.05) . Under normal illumination, BOE-treated mice at 10 pm of dark phase had lower liver index but higher thymus index than the model group (P < 0.05) . Under disordered illumination, BOE-treated mice at 7 am of dark phase had higher spleen index than the model group ( P < 0.05) . Conclusion BOE exerts certain inhibition of H22 hepatocellular carcinoma under both normal illumination and disordered illumination, and the effect will be better when medication is given in dark phase period.
