OBJECTIVETo investigate the preventive and therapeutic effects of Xiaobanxia Fuling Decoction (XBFD) on cisplatin-induced pica rats and to study its mechanism.
METHODSForty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following 7 groups, i.e., the blank control group, the model group, the high-, middle-, and low-dose XBFD groups (at the daily dose of 30, 15, and 7. 5 g/kg, respectively), the aprepitant (at the daily dose of 13 mg/kg), and pure Chinese medicine group (at the daily dose of XBFD 15 g/kg), 6 in each group. On the 3rd day of this study, 3 mg/kg cisplatin was intraperitoneally injected to rats except the blank control group and the model group to establish the pica rat model. The consumptions of kaolin, food, and the general situation of rats were observed. The protein and mRNA expressions of neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R) in both the medulla oblongata and the gastric antrum were measured by immunohistochemical assay and Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR respectively on the sixth day of this study.
RESULTSOn the third, fourth, and fifth day of this study, the consumption of kaolin of rats significantly increased when compared with the blank control group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the consumption of kaolin significantly decreased in the high-, middle-, and low-dose XBFD groups on the third, fourth, and fifth day of this study (P<0.05). The food intake of rats in the high-dose XBFD groups significantly increased when compared with the model group on the third day of this study (P<0.05). The protein and mRNA expressions of NK, R in the medulla oblongata and the gastric antrum significantly decreased in the high- and middle-dose XBFD groups when compared with the model group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSXBFD could prevent and treat cisplatin-induced pica in rats. Its effect might be correlated with decreasing expressions of NK, R in the medulla oblongata and the gastric antrum.

OBJECTIVETo explore the method for establishing animal models of gouty nephropathy complicated with chronic renal failure.
METHODSSix-eight weeks old male Wistar rats were fed with 10% fodder yeast. The adenine at the daily dose of 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 mg/kg was administrated to them by gastrogavage. The serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), and uric acid (UA) were dynamically monitored. Meanwhile, the pathological changes of rat kidney were observed.
RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, serum BUN, Cr, and UA obviously increased in rats administered with 100 mg/kg for 7 days (P<0.05). Meanwhile, pathological changes as gouty nephropathy occurred. Along with the prolongation of the modeling time, the aforesaid biochemical indices and pathohistological changes of the kidney were more obvious. The blood Cr level just reached the chronic renal failure level on the 26th day of the administration (about the 4th week), and obviously exceeded the renal failure level on the 41st day (about the 6th week). The blood UA level increased to a higher level on the 7th day of modeling, and maintained at a higher level for a long time. It decreased rapidly from the 41st day to the 48th day. The renal pathological examination showed aggravated infiltration of lymphocytes and stromal fibrous proliferation. On the 48th day of modeling, the proliferation of the fibrous tissue and the interstitial fibrosis were obvious on the bases of the aforesaid changes. The serum BUN, Cr, and blood UA obviously increased in the rats administered with 150, 200, 250, and 300 mg/kg when compared with the normal control group, reaching the level of chronic renal failure (P<0.05). These levels obviously decreased 17 days after restoring to normal fodder feeding, and approached the normal levels till the 35th day.
CONCLUSIONIdeal experimental animal models of gouty nephropathy complicated with chronic renal failure could be established in male Wistar rats by feeding with 10% fodder yeast and 100 mg/kg adenine by gastrogavage for 5 weeks.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of genistein (Gen) on MAPK signal pathway in the CIA rat fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS).
METHODSThe rat model of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) was established. The cultured FLS of CIA rats were divided using randomized method. The effects of Gen (at the concentration of 50, 100, and 200 micromol/L, respectively) on the proliferation of FLS in CIA rats using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Effects of Gen (at the concentration of 50, 100, and 200 pmol/L, respectively) on the expressions of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) in the FLS of CIA rats were detected.
RESULTSGen could inhibit the proliferation of FLS in CIA rats. The FLS proliferation in the high dose Gen group at 72 h was only 1.10+/-0.04, significantly lower than that in the model group (2.12+/-0.03, P<0.01). Besides, after Gen's action on FLS, the expression of p-ERK was down-regulated. It was only 0.34+/-0.02 in the high dose Gen group, significantly lower than that in the model group (2.68+/-0.14, P<0.01). There was no change in the expression of ERK (P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONSGen could inhibit the proliferation of FLS in CIA rats. Its mechanism of action was mainly correlated to down-regulating the tyrosine kinase of MAPK signal transduction pathway and inhibiting phosphorylation of ERK.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (SAB) on the proliferation of human embryonic lung fibroblast MRC-5, and the secretion of procollagen I and endogenous transforming growth factor-beta1, (TGF-beta1).
METHODSThe MRC-5 cells were randomly divided into four groups as follows: the control group: cells cultured with DMEM but with no TGF-beta1, or SAB; the TGF-beta1, group: cell cultured with 10 ng/mL TGF-beta1; the SAB1 group: cell cultured with medium with 10 ng/mL TGF-beta1 and 1 pmol/L SAB; the SAB2 group: cell cultured with medium with 10 ng/mL TGF-beta1, and 10 pmol/L SAB. The proliferation of cells was assayed by MTT incorporation. The concentration of amino-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PINP), a marker of collagen synthesis, was measured by radioimmunoassay. The endogenous TGF-beta1, levels were measured using ELISA.
RESULTSThe optical density, procollagen I contents, and endogenous TGF-beta1, levels significantly increased when compared with those of the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the TGF-beta1, group, the optical density was obviously lowered, the procollagen I contents and endogenous TGF-beta1, levels significantly decreased in the SAB1 group and the SAB2 group, and better in the SAB2 group, showing statistical difference (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSSAB could inhibit the proliferation of MRC-5 cells induced by TGF-beta1 and attenuate the roles of secreting collagen and endogenous TGF-beta1. It had the potential of postponing or delaying the progressive developing of pulmonary fibrosis.
