CONCLUSION: A multicomponent quantitative method for Yaotongning Capsule is established.The established method is feasible.

Aim To investigate the effect of hesperidin on human lung cancer cell A549 and the possible mechanism.Methods The cell apoptosis and necrosis of A549 treated with hesperidin were measured by the Hoechst 33342/PI fluorescent dye based on microfluidic chip technology.Cell cycle and apoptosis rate were evaluated by flow cytometry(FCM).The expressions of the related genes were detected through the real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology(RT-PCR) including VEGF, PI3K and PTEN.The protein expressions of Bcl-2, Cyclin B1, PI3K, Akt and PTEN were detected by Western blot after hesperidin intervention.Results The proliferation of A549 cells was significantly inhibited by hesperidin in a dose-dependent manner.FCM results showed that hesperidin could not only influence the G0/G1 phase and S phase, but also promote the apoptosis of lung cancer cells.Meanwhile, the apoptosis and necrosis rate was increased from(6.7±0.6)% to(27.9±1.1)% compared with that of control group(P<0.05).From the level of molecular, the gene expressions of VEGF and PI3K were decreased, while the PTEN was increased after hesperidin stimulation.Western blot results showed that the expression of protein Bcl-2, Cyclin B1 and Akt were decreased, which all showed close relationship with cell apoptosis, cell cycle and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.The expression of PI3K was increased, but the change of PTEN was not statistically significant compared with that of control group.Conclusion Hesperidin induces lung cancer cell apoptosis through PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, which blocks cancer cell division and destroys the balance of related protein expression.

This article was aimed to study the synergy effect of effective substances group and mechanisms of Qi-Zhi Wei-Tong (QZWT) Granules in promoting gastrointestinal dynamic effect in order to explore its mechanism. Rats were divided into 16 groups. Different component compatibility was given to promote the gastrointestinal dynamic ef-fect. The traditional semi-solid paste carbon propelling analysis method was used to observe gastrointestinal motility changes of rats after medication. After intragastric administration, changes of NO, cGMP and Ca2+content in gastroin-testinal tissues were observed. The results showed that fructus aurantii flavonoids and Cyperi flavonoids had the most prominent effect in promoting gastrointestinal motility in QZWT Granules (P< 0.01), which were followed by Cyperus oil and limonene (P< 0.05). Two-way interactions indicated that the combination of fructus aurantii flavonoids and limonene had prominently promoting action in gastrointestinal motility, which was followed by the combination of fructus aurantii flavonoids and Cyperus oil, Cyperi flavonoids and Cyperus oil, limonene and Cyperus oil. Each effec-tive component can reduce the NO and cGMP content in gastrointestinal tissues, and increase the Ca2+ content. It was concluded that the study defined the correlation and synergy between effective components and promoting effect of gastrointestinal motility. Mechanism of the effective component to promote gastrointestinal dynamic might be relat-ed to the reducing of NO and cGMP content in gastrointestinal tissues and increasing of Ca2+ content. This study also provided a theoretical basis for further research on quality control, compatibility and spectrum-effect correlation of gastrointestinal motility promotion medications.

Allotransplantation of peripheral blood-derived hemopoietic stem cells is the best therapy for acute leukemia. With increases of only-child families, sibling donors are decreasing. Moreover, the probability is low and time consuming is long to search a matched hemopoietic stem cell donor from the Chinese Marrow Donor Program. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation would bring a hope for donor resource. However, difficult transplantation and high incidence of graft versus host disease are two risks. Based on modified regimen and cyclosporine A+short-term amethopterin, mycophenolic acid, interleukin-11, anti-lymphocyte immunoglobulin and hemopoietic stem cells mobilized by recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor can prevent graft versus host disease. This therapy succeeded in two cases with no severe graft versus host disease.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Jiawei Bazhen Yimu Capsule on premature ovarian failure rats from the perspective of metabolomics.Methods Female SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group and Jiawei Bazhen Yimu Capsule low,medium and high dose groups,with 10 rats in each group.The model of premature ovarian failure was replicated by removing bilateral ovaries of rats and administered intragastrically once a day for 21 days.The serum samples of rats in each group were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS).Combined with multivariate statistical analysis,the effects of Jiawei Bazhen Yimu Capsule on differential metabolites in rats with premature ovarian failure were investigated.The differential metabolites identified by MELIN database or KEGG database were imported into Metaboanalyst 5.0 online platform for metabolic pathway analysis.Results A total of 18 potential differential metabolites were screened and identified.Most of the differential metabolites showed a good callback trend after intragastric administration of Jiawei Bazhen Yimu Capsule.These 18 differential metabolites were enriched into 2 metabolic pathways(Pathway Impact>0.1),which were glycerophospholipid metabolism and arachidonic acid metabolism pathways.Conclusion The therapeutic effect of Jiawei Bazhen Yimu Capsule on premature ovarian failure may be related to improving the level of differential metabolites in serum and restoring normal metabolic activities in rats.

Objective To establish a"quality-quantity"double standard control method of Schizonepeta Spike based on the reference material without relying on multiple reference substances.Methods HPLC technology was used to establish the characteristic atlas of Schizonepeta Spike based on the reference traditional Chinese medicinal materials.The chemical constituents of common peaks were identified by Q-TOF-MS technology,and the authenticity of Schizonepeta Spike was determined by the similarity of characteristic peaks of the reference traditional Chinese medicinal materials and the tested traditional Chinese medicinal materials.The relative content of each characteristic peak in different batches of the tested traditional Chinese medicinal materials was calculated by accurate quantition of pulegone.The"Average value-Standard deviation"was taken as the lower limit of the relative content of characteristic peak chemical components relative to pulegone,and the quality of Schizonepeta Spike was determined according to the lower limit of the relative content of characteristic peak.Results The characteristic atlas and content determination method met the requirements of methodology investigation.A total of 11 common chromatographic peaks were determined,and 6 chemical components were identified,which were luteolin,hesperidin,luteolin-7-O-glucuronide,luteolin,geranyl,pulegone.The similarity between the tested traditional Chinese medicinal materials and reference traditional Chinese medicinal materials was greater than 0.90.The lower limit of relative content of chemical components of Schizonepeta Spike characteristic peak was defined.Conclusion The method can identify Schizonepeta Spike clearly and quickly without many reference substances,and provide reference for quality control of Schizonepeta Spike.
