OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the synergistic effect of Naoxintong Capsule (NXTC, ) and Guhong Injection (GHI, ) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.@*METHODS@#Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 6 groups: control group, oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) group, nimodipine group (9.375 mg/kg), NXTC group (0.5 g/kg), GHI group (5 mL/kg) and NXTC+GHI group (0.5 g/kg NXTC+5 mL/kg GHI), after the onset of reperfusion and once per day for the following 7 days. Blood was collected 1 h after final administration, and the sera were collected. Cultured primary rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (rBMECs) were subjected to OGD to establish a cell injury model. Untreated rBMECs were used as blank control. The cell counting kit-8 assay was used to assess cell viability using the sera. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Apoptosis was evaluated after Hoechst33342 staining using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. JC-1 staining was performed to assess changes in mitochondrial membrane potential.@*RESULTS@#Statistical analysis indicated that more than 95% of the cells were rBMECs. Compared with the OGD group, the cellular morphology of the all drug delivery groups improved. In particular, the combined drug group had the most significant effect. Compared with the OGD group, all drug intervention groups induced a decrease in the apoptotic rate of rBMECs, increased the SOD levels, and decreased the MDA levels (all P<0.01). Compared with the mono-therapy groups, the NXTC+GHI group exhibited a significant improvement in the number of apoptotic rBMECs (P<0.01). All drug intervention groups showed different degrees of increase in membrane potential, and the NXTC+GHI group was higher than the NXTC or GHI group (P<0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#The combinationa application of NXTC and GHI on cerebral I/R injury clearly resulted in protective benefits.

The animal model of hyperlipidemia in rats was established to investigate the lipid-lowering effect and mechanism of Danhong Injection on hyperlipidemic rats. SD rats were selected as the research object. The rats in normal group were fed with basic diet, and the rats in other groups were fed with high-fat diet to establish hyperlipidemia model. The successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, Danhong Injection low, medium, high dose(1.0, 2.0, 4.0 mL·kg~(-1)) groups, and simvastatin(2.0 mg·kg~(-1)) group. Danhong Injection groups received intraperitoneal administration, and simvastatin group received intragastrical administration, once a day for 4 weeks. At the first, second, third, and fourth weekends after administration, blood was collected from the orbital vein to detect the levels of total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), and then the atherosclerosis index(AI) was calculated. After 4 weeks of administration, the animals were sacrificed, and their heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and adipose tissue were extracted and weighed respectively to calculate the organ index of each group. The expressions of acyl-coaoxidase 1(Acox1), adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase alpha(AMPK-α), bile salt export pump(BSEP), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma(PPAR-γ), catalase(CAT) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) mRNA in liver tissues were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR; the content of cholesteryl ester transfer protein(CETP) and lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase(LCAT) in serum was detected by ELISA. The results showed that as compared with the normal group, the levels of serum TC, TG and LDL-C in the model group were significantly increased, and the level of HDL-C was significantly decreased, indicating that the hyperlipidemia rat model was successfully constructed. As compared with the model group, Danhong Injection could decrease the contents of TC, TG, LDL-C and increase the content of HDL-C in hyperlipidemia rats; reduce the body weight of hyperlipidemia rats, and reduce the liver weight, liver index, fat weight and fat index; it had no significant effect on the main organ indexes such as heart, spleen, lung and kidney; but it could increase the expressions of Acox1, AMPK-α, BSEP, PPAR-γ, CAT and SOD mRNA in liver tissues of rats; it could also reduce the level of CETP and increase the level of LCAT in serum; and the regulatory effect of Danhong Injection groups all showed a dose-dependent effect. It can be concluded that Danhong Injection can regulate the blood lipid contents, reduce the blood lipid levels and alleviate the accumulation of body fat in rats with hyperlipidemia. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting lipid metabolism disorder and oxidative stress induced by high-fat diet feeding, and improving the imbalance of lipid transport system.

Aim To discuss the effect of Danhong in-jection(DHI) on hyperlipidemia in rats and its possible mechanism. Methods The hyperlipidemia model of rats were induced by high fat diet. The protein expres-sion of adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase(AMPK), p-AMPK, cholesterol-binding ele-ment binding protein (SREBP-1), adenylate-activated protein kinase carboxylasecetyl-CoA(ACC) and p-ACC in liver were detected using Western blot. Results The protein expression levels of AMPK, SREBP-1 and ACC significantly decreased (P<0.05), but the pro-tein expression levels of p-ACC and p-AMPK signifi-cantly increased (P<0.05). Conclusions Danhong injection can reduce the activity of SREBP-1 and ACC by enhancing the activation of AMPK, and effectively reduce the blood lipid level of hyperlipidemic rats by promoting fatty acid oxidation and reducing lipid depo-sition.

To investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of active constituents of Guhong injection in rats with cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established in our studies, and then all the rats received iv administration of Guhong injection (2.1 mL·kg⁻¹). The blood concentrations of aceglutamide and hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method at different time points. The concentration-time curves were drawn and pharmacokinetic data were obtained by DAS 3.2.6 software. The results showed that aceglutamide and HSYA showed good linear relationship within the ranges of 1.5-500 mg·L⁻¹ (R²=0.997 5) and 0.33-40 mg·L⁻¹ (R²=0.998 9) respectively. This quantitative method showed a high recovery rate, good precision and stability. The main pharmacokinetics parameters of t1/2α, t1/2β, CL₁, CL₂, AUC0-t, AUC0-∞, Vd1, and Vd2 were (0.139±0.007) and (0.155±0.017) h, (0.803±0.046) and (2.233±0.410) h, (0.016±0) and (0.149±0.018) L·h⁻¹·kg⁻¹, (0.015±0.001) and (0.446±0.016) L·h⁻¹·kg⁻¹, (133.335±3.844) and (9.298±0.179) mg·h·L⁻¹, (143.851±3.595) and (14.464±1.451) mg·h·L⁻¹, (0.009±0.001) and (0.223±0.007) L·kg⁻¹, (0.006±0.001) and (0.212±0.032) L·kg⁻¹, respectively. The results showed that the established HPLC method was highly specific, and could be used for the simultaneous detection of aceglutamide and HSYA of Guhong injection in MCAO rats, which was conducive to pharmacokinetic studies. Pharmacokinetic data and parameters could provide reference for continuous administration and interval administration of the drug.

This paper aimed to investigate the effect of Yinhua Pinggan granule and San-ao decoction on the immunologic mechanisms of influenza viral pneumonia mice , in order to study the activity of the combined administration of different formulas on influenza A/H1N1 virus. The model of pneumonia was established in mice through nasal dropping influenza virus, and then divided randomly into five groups: normal control group, influenza virus model group, oseltamivir control group, Yinhua Pinggan granule group, and San-ao decoction group. The animals were put to death at the 5th day after gavage administration with the corresponding drugs. The contents in mice serum of TNF-α, IL-6 and IFN-γ were respectively measured by ELISA. The mRNA expressions of TLR3/7, MyD88, JNK, p38MAPK and NF-κB p65 in lung tissues were respectively detected by RT-PCR. The protein expressions of JNK, p38MAPK and NF-κB p65 in lung tissues were determined by immunohistochemical analysis, respectively. According to the results, Yinhua Pinggan granule and San-ao decoction could significantly decrease the levels of TNF-α and IL-6, increase the level of IFN-γ in mice serum of lung tissues, significantly reduce the gene expressions of TLR3/7, MyD88, JNK, p38MAPK and NF-κB p65 in influenza virus-infected mice lung tissues, and significantly reduce the protein expressions of JNK, p38MAPK and NF-κB p65 in lung tissues. Furthermore, the regulatory effect of Yinhua Pinggan granule was superior to that of San-ao decoction. In conclusion, Yinhua Pingan granule and San-ao decoction have the therapeutic effect on pneumonia mice infected by H1N1 virus . The anti-influenza mechanisms of Yinhua Pinggan granule and San-ao decoction may be the results of interactions by regulating the immunologic function of influenza virus-infected mice and TLR3/7 signaling pathway with multiple links of the gene and protein expressions. Moreover, the combined administration of warm-natured and cold-natured Yinhua Pinggan granule with the effects of detoxification and exhalation has a better effect than the single administration of warm-natured San-ao decoction.

To study the protective mechanism of Danhong injection on brain microvascular endothelial cells (rBMECs) injured by hypoxic. In the experiment, primary suckling mouse's rBMECs cells were collected and identified with factor VIII to establish the 4 h injury model. Meanwhile, rBMECs were given Danhong injection (25, 50, 100 mL . L-1), and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and the malonyldialdehyde (MDA) level were detected by the biochemical method. Cell MMP-9, ICAM-1 and P53 mRNA expression levels were detected by RT-PCR method. Changes in cells' microscopic structure were observed by transmission electron microscope. According to the results, primary rBMECs were notably injured by hypoxia. Compared with model group, Danhong injection (50, 100 mL . L-1) could remarkably resist the injury induced by hypoxic, increase intracellular SOD activity, decrease MDA level and significantly down-regulate ICAM-1, MMP-9 and P53 mRNA expressions. Danhong injection (100 mL . L-1) could protect the cells' normal morphology and microscopic structure, maintain the close intercellular junction, and inhibit the hypoxia-induced cell apoptosis. The results showed that Danhong injection plays a significant role in protecting rBMECs injured by hypoxia. Its mechanism may be related to the enhancement of cells' antioxidant capacity, the inhibition of inflammatory response and the cell apoptosis.

To explore the effect and mechanism of Guhong injection against cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, SD rats were randomly divided into the sham-operated group, the model group, the nimodipine group, and high, medium and low-dose Guhong injection groups, with 10 rats in each group. The middle cerebral artery embolization (MCAO) model was established to observe neurological deficit symptoms, infarct volume, SOD activity, MDA content, GSH-Px and CAT activity in rats, as well as the contents of t-PA, PAI, TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α in serum. The results showed that Guhong injection could obviously promote the recovery of neurological deficit symptoms, narrow the brain infarct volume in rats after surgery, significantlyincrease the activities of SOD, GSH-Px and CAT and decrease the content of MDA. Meanwhile, it also could obviously increase the contents of t-PA and 6-keto-PGF1α and decrease the contents of PAI and TXB2 in serum, indicating that Guhong injection have better antioxidant and antithrombus effects, as well as a significant protective effect against cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.

To study the protective effect of combined administration of active ingredients of Danhong on cultured primary mice's brain microvascular endothelial cells (rBMECs) injured by hypoxia. Primary mice's brain micro-vascular endothelial cells were cultured to establish the 4 h hypoxia model. Meanwhile, active ingredients (protocatechuic aldehyde, salvianolic acid B, hydroxysafflor yellow A and tanshinol) of Danhong were administered in rBMECs. The non-toxic dosage was determined by MTT. The leakage of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), cell superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and MDA level were detected by the colorimetric method. The expressions of ICAM-1, MMP-9, P53 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR method. Changes in rBMECs cell cycle and early apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Danhong's active ingredients and prescriptions 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 could be combined to significantly restrain LDH in hypoxic cells supernatant. Prescriptions 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 could significantly enhance SOD activity in anoxic cells; Prescriptions 1, 2, 3, 8, 9 could significantly decrease the MDA level; Prescriptions 1, 2, 6, 7, 9 could significantly inhibit the early rB-MECs apoptosis induced by hypoxia. After hypoxia, the up-regulated P53 mRNA expression could cause retardation in G, phase and promote cell apoptosis. This proved that the regulatory function of P53 gene lay in monitoring of calibration points in G, phase. Prescriptions 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 could significantly down-regulate the P53 mRNA expression; Prescriptions 1, 4, 7, 8, 9 could significantly down-regulate the ICAM-1 mRNA expression; Prescriptions 1, 3, 6, 9 could significantly down-regulate the MMP-9 mRNA expression. The combined administration of Danhong's active ingredients showed a significant protective effect on primary cultured rBMECs injury induced by hypoxia Its mechanism may be related to the enhancement of cellular antioxidant capacity and the inhibition of inflammatory response and cell apoptosis. This study could provide ideas for researching prescription compatibility, and guide the clinical medication.

To study the pharmacokinetic process of Danshensu in cerebal ischemia injury model rats and the correlation with its anti-cerebral ischemia effect. In this study, the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established, in which all of the rats were intravenously injected of Danshensu at a single dose of 40 mg x kg(-1). The HPLC-DAD method was applied to determine the plasma concentration of Danshensu at different time points and draw the drug-time curve. Meanwhile, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were determined to draw the time-effect curve. The DAS 3.2. 6 software was used to process the data, analyze their correlation, compare the pharmacokinetic difference between model and normal rats after the administration of the same doses of Danshensu and the changes in pharmacodynamic indicators of model rats after the administration, and evaluate the effect of Danshensu in treating the cerebral ischemia disease. According to the results, the pharmacokinetic processes of Danshensu in the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and normal rats were consistent to the two-compartment model. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were: t1/2alpha were (0.267 +/- 0.026), (0.148 +/- 0.020) h;t1/2beta were (1.226 +/- 0.032), (1.182 +/- 0.082) h; AUC0-infinity were (42.168 +/- 4.007), (26.881 +/- 1.625) mg x L(-1) x h. After the cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, the activity of SOD decreased and the activity of LDH increased. Danshensu could inhibit the decrease in the SOD activity and the increase in the LDH activity within a certain period of time. This indicated that Danshensu could stay longer in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats than in normal rats and eliminated more slowly, which reflected the rationality of Danshensu in the clinical treatment of cerebral ischemia diseases. Danshensu's effect against the cerebral ischemic injury may be related with its level in vivo. Its plasma concentration is positively related to the SOD activity and negatively related to the LDH activity.

To observe the effect and mechanism of Yiqi Tongluo Jiedu capsule aganist cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, the SD rats were randomly divided into following groups: sham-operated group, model group, the group of low, medium and high dose of Yiqi Tongluo Jiedu capsule, and nimodipine group. Using focal middle cerebral artery embolization (MCAO) model, following items were observed: symptoms of neurological deficit score; infarct volume; activity of SOD, content of MDA and NO, activity of NOS of ischemic brain tissue; Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression; content of IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFalpha in serum; IL-1beta mRNA expression of ischemic brain tissue. Results showed that Yiqi Tongluo Jiedu capsule could significantly reduce the symptoms of neurological deficits, promote the recovery symptoms of neurological deficits; narrow infarct volume of brain tissue obviously, reduce the percentage of infarct volume; raise activity of SOD, reduce content of MDA and NO, reduce activity of NOS; increase Bcl-2 protein, reduce Bax expression; reduce content of IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFa in serum; reduce IL-1beta mRNA expression of ischemic brain tissue. Yiqi Tongluo Jiedu capsule has significant protective effects against ischemic brain injury, it has significant anti-apoptotic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the absorption characteristics and transportation mechanism Yangyin Tongnao granules in main effective fractions in Caco-2 cell model.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The safety concentrations of Yangyin Tongnao granules in main effective fractions in Caco-2 cells. A Caco-2 cell model was established to study the transport situations after the compatibility of Yangyin Tongnao granules in main effective fractions, and the content was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).</p><p><b>RESULT</b>P(app) of puerarin, ligustrazine and astragaloside were less than 1.0 x 10(-6) cm x s(-1), and their P(app) were hard to be close to atenolol. The oral absorption in descending order is shown as the following: puerarin, ligustrazine, astragaloside. After the compatibility between saponins and flavonoids, P(app) of astragaloside was improved obviously, which promoted the transport from apical (AP) to basolateral (BL); the compatibility of puerarin, ligustrazine and astragaloside showed a significant effect in the efflux of astragaloside and no change in the absorption transport of ligustrazine and puerarin at the same time. There is a great difference in bidirectional transport of representative component of each effective fraction, and P(app)(B --> A) was significantly greater than Papp(A --> B), which suggested that the efflux transport from BL side to AP side had an advantage in the three representative components of the three effective fractions in Caco-2 cell monolayer model.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Astragaloside, ligustrazine and puerarin may be malabsorptive compounds, and the three compounds may be discharged by the transport protein in small intestine membrane.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the changes of MDA, SOD, LDH of cultured hippocampal neurons injury induced by amyloid-beta protein (Abeta 25-35) and the protective effect of puerarin and ligustrazine.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Primary hippocampal neurons were cultured and induced by Abeta 25-35. The concentrations of MDA, SOD and LDH in cultured hippocampal neurons were measured after exposed to Abeta 25-35, puerarin and ligustrazine.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The Alzheimer disease (AD) model was successfully established in cultured hippocampal neurons. AD group has remarkably increased MDA and LDH level, and decreased SOD level, Piracetan group and combined application group of have remarkably decreased MDA and LDH level and increased SOD level, compared with AD group (P < 0.01). Ligustrazine together with puerarin group has remarkably decreased MDA and LDH level and increased SOD level, compared with ligustrazine group and puerarin group (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Abeta 25-35 can induce cultured hippocampal neurons injury, combined application of ligustrazine, and puerarin can alleviate the injury.</p>
