ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the effects of bama nectar in kidney-yang deficienct mice and on the mating ability and sperm counts of normal mice. Methods:The weight, body temperature, locomotor activity, cold-resistant,genital organ coefficient and lipid peroxidation of the hydrocortisone-induced kidney-yang deficient mice were detected. The genital organ ccoefficient, immune organ co-efficient and erectile function of the ovariectomized mice were detected. The mating ability and the sperm counts of normal mice were measured. Results:Compared with the model group, bama nectar obviously increased the weight, body temperature and locomotor ac-tivity of the hydrocortisone-induced kidney-yang deficient mice, and improved the locomotor activity, the organ coefficient of seminal vesicle, prostate gland, preputial gland and epididymis. Furthermore, bama nectar significantly increased the SOD activity in serum and reduced the level of MDA in serum when compared with the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, bama nectar could increase the organ coefficient of foreskin and thymus gland in the ovariectomized mice, and shorten the erec-tile latency (P<0. 05). Compared with the normal group, bama nectar improved the mating ability and the sperm counts of the male mice (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:Bama nectar has beneficial effects on invigorating kidney and strengthening yang.

ABSTRACT
Objective To examine the therapeutic effect of Kummerowia striata (KS) on IgA nephropathy (IgAN) rats.Methods Sixty SD rats were equally randomized into 6 groups after adaptive feeding for 3 days:blank control group,model control group,tripterygium glycosides (TG) group (in the dose of 0.0165 g/kg),and high-,middle-and low-dose KS groups (in the dose of 16.0,8.0,4.0 g/kg respectively).IgAN rat model was established with bovine serum albumin (BSA),lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and carbon tetrachloride.After modeling,rats except those in blank control group received gastric gavage of corresponding drugs for 10 continuous weeks.Levels of 24-hour proteinuria and hematuria in each group were measured,serum levels of total protein (TP),serum albumin (ALB),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were tested.The pathological changes of renal tissue were observed under light microscope by HE staining.Results Water decoction of KS could significantly decrease the proteinuria and hematuria levels,and reduce renal pathological changes of IgAN model rats.However,water decoction had no effect on indicators of liver function such as TP,ALB,AST,and ALT in IgAN rats.Conclusion KS has certain therapeutic effect on IgAN model rats.
ABSTRACT
Shenfukang is an effective formula for glomerulonephritis applied in the first affiliated hospital of Guangzhou University of TCM. It is composed of Radix Folium seu Flos Tripterygii wilfordii, Radix Astragali seu Hedysari, Radix Notoginseng, Herba Leonuri, etc.. Glomerulonephritis rat model was induced by cationized bovine serum albumin (C-BSA) according to Border's method and was used to observe the pharmacological action of Shenfukang. The results showed that Shenfukang can eliminate urine protein, increase the levels of serum protein, albumin (A), globulin (G) and A/G ratio, and decrease the contents of serum cholesterol, creatinine and urea nitrogen. It can also counteract the increase of plasma TXB 2 and the decrease of plasma 6-keto-PGF 1? . LD 50 of Shenfukang for mice is 174.34?36.74?g/kg which is much larger than that of Tripterygium wilfordii (29.73?6.46?g/kg for female mice and 101.74?10.93?g/kg for male mice). It is indicated that Shenfukang exerts a protective effect on renal function and reduces toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii.
