Salvia miltiorrhiza is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and is widely used as a clinically medication for its efficiency in treating cardiovascular disease. Due to TCM is a comprehensive system, the mechanism of S. miltiorrhiza treating cardiovascular disease through integrated multiple pathways are still unclear in some aspects. With the rapid progress of bioinformatics and systems biology, network pharmacology is considered as a promising approach toward reveal the underlying complex relationship between an herb and the disease. In order to discover the mechanism of S. miltiorrhiza treating cardiovascular disease systematically, we use the auxiliary mechanism elucidation system for Chinese medicine, built up a molecule interaction network on the active component targets of S. miltiorrhiza and the therapeutic targets of cardiovascular disease to offer an opportunity for deep understanding the mechanism of S. miltiorrhiza treating cardiovascular disease from the perspective of network pharmacology. The results showed that S. miltiorrhiza treating cardiovascular disease through ten pathways as follows: improve lipid metabolism, anti-inflammation, regulate blood pressure, negatively regulates blood coagulation factor and antithrombotic, regulate cell proliferation, anti-stress injury, promoting angiogenesis, inhibited apoptosis, adjust vascular systolic and diastolic, promoting wound repair. The results of this paper provide theoretical guidance for the development of new drugs to treat cardiovascular disease and the discovery of new drugs through component compatibility.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of the water-soluble preparation of curcumin on tumor angiogenesis induced by alginate-encapsulated colon carcinoma C26 cell line in mice. Methods: The water-soluble preparation of curcumin was made by forming inclusion compound of curcumin with hydroxypropyl-?-cyclodextrin (C-HP-?-CD). Subcutaneous imbedding of alginate-encapsulated colon carcinoma C26 cells was used to create tumor bearing model in BALB/c mice. Then the mouse models were intraperitoneally injected with C-HP-?-CD, TNF-70 (as positive control), or HP-?-CD(as negative control). The angiogenesis in the alginate beads was observed under light microscope, floresencent microscope, and transmission electron microscope. The fluorescein isothiacyanate-dextran (FITC-Dextran) tracing technique was used to observe the inhibitory effect of the inclusion compound of curcumin on angiogenesis induced by colon carcinoma C26 cells in alginate beads.Results: The C-HP-?-CD and the mouse model of subcutaneous alginate-encapsulated colon carcinoma C26 cells were successfully created. Transmission electron microscope showed angiogenesis in alginate-encapsulated colon carcinoma C26 cells; claval endothelial cells were seen in some lumens. Optical microscope and the fluorescence microscope showed that the angiogenesis density of the positive group and curcumin groups were obviously lower than those of the negative control group; no obvious difference at vessel morphosis was found among the 3 alginate-encapsulated groups. FITC-Dextran tracing technology found that the fluorescent intensity of the negative control group was significantly higher than those of the positive control group and the curcumin group (P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the relationship between the proliferation of parathyroid cell in rabbit with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and the bone mineral density (BMD). MethodsEighty adult Chinese rabbits were randomly and equally divided into two groups. The contrast group was fed with normal diet ( Ca ∶ P, 1.0 ∶ 0. 7 ) and the experimental group was fed with high phosphate diet ( Ca ∶ P,1.0∶7.0) to establish the animal model of PHPT. At 3, 4, 5, and 6 months after the diet, bone mineral density of the rabbits was measured by the quantity CT (QCT). Then, the parathyroid and bone of the rabbits were removed for pathological examination. The number of parathyroid cell in PHPT was calculated.Proliferation was determined by immunohistochemistry of proliferation cell nuclear antigen ( PCNA ) and Bcl-2. The t test and Logistic regression was used to analyze the difference of data of two groups. ResultThe number of parathyroid cell in PHPT group was 1.61 times than that in the contrast group[ (673 ± 151 ) HP,(418 ± 25 ) HP,P ＜0. 01]. The rate of PCNA positive-cell was significantly increased in PHPT group than that in contrast group [(50.52 ± 11.62)％o, (26.70 ± 2. 78 )％, P ＜ 0.01], and so was Bcl-2[ (460. 37 ± 190. 05 )‰, (67. 02 ±:4. 38 )％‰,P ＜0. 05]. The value of BMD was significantly decreased in PHPT group than that in contrast group [ ( 152. 5 ± 34. 3 ), ( 188.6 ± 12. 2 ) g/cm3, P ＜ 0. 05]. There was a negative correlation between BMD and PCNA (r ＝ -0. 749, P ＜ 0. 05 ) and between BMD and Bcl-2 (r ＝-0.800, P ＜ 0. 05 ) in PHPT group. ConclusionThe BMD of PHPT is related to the parathyroid cells proliferation which provide a reliable method for early diagnosis of PHPT.
