Objective:To investigate the induction of apoptosis by isoalantolactone in human cervical cancer Hela cells is mediated through ROS generation and Mitochondrial dysfunction. Methods: Cells were treated with isoalantolactone in a dose-dependent manner in the presence or absence of NAC for 24 h as the experimental group,and the normal cells were used as control group. Cell viabilities were determined by the MTT assay;the nuclear morphology of Hela cells were observed under fluorescence microscope using the Hoechst 33258 staining;apoptosiscell cycle and reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) and mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP) were measured by flow cytometry;the protein expression levels of cytochrome C,Bcl-2,Bax and Caspase-3 were detected by Western blot. Results:In the present study,we found that isoalantolactone inhibits growth in a dose-dependent manner in Hela cells. Further studies revealed that Hela cells were treated with 20 and 40 μmol/L isoalantolactone for 24 h,after which we could observe the fragmented nuclei and the increased apoptosis rate. And we also found that isoalantolactone arrested the cell cycle at S phase and increased generation of reactive oxygen species and dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential (△ψm) in Hela cells. While pretreatment with NAC obviously blocked the apoptotic and inhibition effect of isoalantolactone indicating that induction of apoptosis is ROS-dependent,Western blot study showed that isoalantolactone increased the expression of Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 and decreased the expression of Bcl-2 with concomitant release of cytochrome C from mitochondria into cytosol. Conclusion: Isoalantolactone could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of human cervical cancer Hela cells in vitro through mediating ROS generation and Mi-tochondrial dysfunction, the mechanism of which is also accompanied by up-regulation of Bax expression, down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression,activation of Caspase-3 and release of cytochrome C.

Objective: To select the common syndrome factors of menopausal syndrome through questionnaire investigation among experts. Methods: Firstly, a questionnaire was constructed on the basis of our previous research, and then investigation of the experts by the questionnaire was carried out. The experts came from twelve tertiary hospitals (6 cities) in China, and engaged in clinical practice of gynecology of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The common TCM syndrome factors of menopausal syndrome were selected based on consent degree of the experts in mean value, full marks ratio, rank sum and variation coefficient. Results: One hundred sets of the questionnaires were sent out and ninety-eight sets were returned back. The callback rate was 98%. In accordance with cumulative percentage of expert agreement and complete agreement more than 50% and the coefficient variation less than 0.25, we confirmed the common TCM syndrome factors of menopause syndrome. The syndrome factors related to disease location were kidney, liver, heart, and spleen, and those related to the nature of disease were yin deficiency, deficiency of essence, yang deficiency, hyperactivity of yang, qi deficiency, qi stagnation, blood deficiency, and blood stasis. Conclusion: Expert consultation questionnaire can collect consensus opinions of experts and is effective for identifying common TCM syndrome factors of a disease. The TCM syndrome factors acquired through the study may provide the evidence for establishment of TCM syndrome diagnosis criteria for the disease in future.

OBJECTIVE: To study the role of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) and cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the onset of phlegm obstruction due to lung-deficiency in rats and the therapeutic mechanism of Huatan Recipe. METHODS: Twenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group and treatment group, with 8 rats in each group. The rats in the model group and treatment group were exposed to sulfur dioxide and cold wind to establish the rat model of phlegm obstruction due to lung-deficiency, and the rats in the treatment group were also treated with Huatan Recipe, a compound traditional Chinese medicine. The expression of NF-kappaB in the bronchial epithelial cells of the rats was tested with the method of immunohistochemistry, and the COX-2 mRNA in the lung tissues of the rats was measured by using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: The expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA in rats of the model group were higher than those of the normal group (P<0.01), and the expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA in rats of the treatment group were obviously lower than those of the model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The NF-kappaB and COX-2 play an important role in the onset of phlegm obstruction in rats. Huatan Recipe may prevent the development of phlegm obstruction by down-regulating the expressions of NF-kappaB and COX-2 mRNA.
