ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Jianwei Yuyang Granules on the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in the gastric mucosa of gastric ulcer patients. METHODS: Sixty gastric ulcer patients (final diagnosis by gastroscope) were randomly divided into Jianwei Yuyang Granules treated group (JWYY group, n=30) and western medicine treated group (control group, n=30). Ten patients without gastric mucosa lesion were treated as normal control group. The expression of EGFR in the mucosa was tested by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. RESULTS: Expression of EGFR and EGFR mRNA was not observed in patients without gastric mucosa lesion, and slight expression was observed in the edge of ulcer region of the gastric ulcer patients. The expression of EGFR and EGFR mRNA was increased in JWYY group and control group. CONCLUSION: Jianwei Yuyang Granules enhances the expression of EGFR in the mucosa of gastric ulcer patients to prevent peptic ulcer recurrence.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effects of Jianwei Yuyang granule on TGF-? 1 expression in the healing process of rat gastric ulcer induced by acetic acid. Methods Animal model of gastric ulcer in rat was set up with the modified Okabe's method, and the TGF-? 1 expression in the gastric ulcerated tissues was detected by immunohistochemical technique. Results TGF-? 1 expression in gastric ulcerated tissues during the healing process in Jianwei Yuyang group significantly increased compared with the normal, model and famotidine treatment groups. Conclusion TGF-? 1 expression in gastric ulcerated tissues induced by acetic acid during the healing process significantly increased,especially in Jianwei Yuyang group. Jianwei Yuyang granule may accelerate gastric ulcer healing by increasing TGF-? 1 expression in gastric ulcerated tissues.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore relationship between Liver and Spleen of Tradicational Chinse Medicine in T cell activation. Methods The expression of IFN-r and IL-4 of T cells in asthenic spleen qi model and hepatic depression model was detected by RT-PCR. Results IFN-r level of T cells in asthenic spleen qi model significantly decreased, in hepatic depression model significantly increased, in asthenic spleen qi model treated with decoction of four mild drugs rose to normal range, and in hepatic depression model treated with powder of bupleuri dispersing stagnated hepatic qi fell to normal range. The IL-4 level of T cells in asthenic spleen qi model significantly increased, in hepatic depression model significantly decreased, in asthenic spleen qi model treated with decoction of four mild drugs fell to normal range, and in hepatic depression model treated with powder of bupleuri dispersing stagnated hepatic qi rose to normal range. Conclusion Liver and spleen are related to the regulation of THO cells functions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate change of Th 1/Th 2 Cytokines in the rats with spleen deficiency syndrome and effect of decoction of SiJunZi on it. Methods The contents of IL-4 and IFN-? in the T cells of the rats with spleen deficiency syndrome before and after treatment of decoction of SiJunZi and powder of ChaiHuShuGan were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with normal group, the content of IFN-? decreased (P0 05). After treated with powder of ChaiHuShuGan, the levels of IL-4 and IFN-? did not obviously change compared with normal group (P
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect mechanism of anticancer synergic (KangAiZengXiao,KAZX) decoction on gastric cancer in immunologic deficit rats with implanted tumor. Methods Forty rats were divided into normal control group(n=10), model group(n=15) and KAZX treating group(n=15). Model group and KAZX group were subcutaneously injected axillary the left upper limb with 0 5ml gastri cancer cells,MGC-803 cell(1?10 7/ml) after irradiated by 60 Co(dose:10Gy). Then the three groups were treated with KAZX decoction or distilled water every day, respectively. After three weeks, the rats were sacrificed,and blood WBC, the weight of spleen, activity of NK cell and transformation efficiency of lymphocyte were also detected.Results The rate of loaded tumor in KAZX group was significantly lower than in model group(20% vs 66 7%,P
ABSTRACT
To explore the mechanism of Jianpi(splenic tonic) and Shugan(dispersing the stagnated liver-qi) prescription regulating immunity by testing the expression of the differentiation signaling transduction protein,calcineurin.Methods We prepared the Sijunzitang and Chaihushugansan prescription serum,take the Ova as antigen induction and B cell as presenting cell,intervened culturing the CD 4 +T cells for 24 hours, and then examine the expression of calcineurin by RT-PCR,Western-blotting.Results The expression of calcineurin was increased in the stimulated Th cells, and the Sijunzitang and Chaihushugansan prescription serum can reduce it significantly,the Chaihushugansan also improved the expression deficit of calcineurin.Conclusions Jianpi and Shugan prescription can regulate the balance of immunity through affecting the expression of signaling transduction proteins at the Th activation and differentiation stage,The regulating the flow of qi prescription is superiority to supplementing qi one.in treatment of the Th2-mediated autoimmune disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To survey the significance of specific immune response in the relationship between Sagnation the Liver-qi syndrome and the spleen Deficiency syndrome.Methods The rats with the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome and the Spleen Deficiency syndrome were respectively corresponding and crossely treated with Radix Bupleuric dispersing the stagnated Liver-qi powder Decolion of Four Noble Drugs. Their T, B lymphocyte activity and specific immune response indexes changes (such as IgG, IgM in the serum) were respectively observed by lymphocyte transformation test and immunoturbidimetry. Results There were no notable changes about the IgG level among all kinds of groups. The IgM levels in the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome and the Spleen Deficiency syndrome decreased, especially in the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome (P0 05), Decolion of Four Noble Drugs could increase the IgM level of the patients with the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome and the Spleen Deficiency syndrome (P0 05); The T lymphocyte transformation rate of the Spleen Deficiency syndrome obviously decreased, and Decolion of Four Noble Drugs could recover it to the normal level (P0 05). The rate of B lymphocyte transformation the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome's also showed the increasing tenderly (P0 05). Conclusions The relationship between the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome and the Spleen Deficiency syndrome could occur in the phase of antigen presentation, especially in the phase of the T H cell activation stimulated by antigen. Radix Bupleuric dispersing the stagnated Liver-qi powder could enhance T, B lymphocyte activities by reverse the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome,and Decolion of Four Noble Drugs could enhance T lymphocyte by improving the Spleen Deficiency syndrome.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of Jianweiyuyang(JWYY) granule on gastric ulcer of rats and its effective mechanism. Methods The rat model of gastric ulcer was set up by Okeba's method with some modification, and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelets-derived growth factor (PDGF) in the gastric ulcer tissues was examined by immunohistochemical method. Results JWYY granule could elevate the expression of both VEGF and PDGF, obviously decrease the ulcer index, increase the thickness of gastric mucosa, and promote the healing of gastric ulcer. Conclusion The results indicated that Jianweiyuyang granule can increase the expression of VEGF and PDGF, which may be one of the mechanism of its promoting the healing of the gastric ulcer.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate Jianwei Yuyang Granule(Radix Bupleuri,Radix codonopsis,Radix paeoniae alba,Rhizoma corydalis,etc.) the effects of on curative effect and quality of life of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)-positive peptic ulcer(PU) patients. METHODS: 46 Hp-positive PU patients whose differentiation of symptoms and signs of the traditional Chinese medicine was the stagnation of liver-QI with deficiency of the spleen type were divided randomly into Jianwei Yuyang Granule group and western medicine control group(Metronidazole,amoxycillin and ondansetron).Eradicative rate of Hp、curative effect under gastroscope、clinical curative effect in Chinese medicine syndrome were observed and quality of life were evaluated by McMaster questionnaire. RESULTS: Compared with western medicine control group,Hp eradicative rates was lower(P0.05),Jianwei Yuyang Granule gained an advantage against western medicine with regard to effect on traditional Chinese medicine syndrome and quality of life(P
