摘要:This paper discusses the reason and symptom of toxic and side effects, safe dosage, source of medicinal materials, processing methods and quality control of Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma, through searching the ancient and modern literatures of traditional Chinese medicine and the related researches about the toxic and side effects of Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma from journal databases in recent 30 years.Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma can induce the toxic and side effects, such as allergic reaction, vomiting, diarrhea, arrhythmia and renal toxicity, even result in shock and death.When Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma is used for long period or in excess, or compatibility with Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparaia, or mixed with wine or vinegar, it is more likely to induce the toxic and side effects.In order to avoid the toxic and side effects, it is suggested to use it from the small dose according to Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China.The components that induce the toxic and side effects might be anemonin, protoanemonin, volatile oil, saponins and so on, or mixed aristolochic acid due to contamination by other herbal medicines.In addition, investigation on the processing methods and local medicinal materials of Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma is of great significance for further study of its toxic and side effects, safe use and expansion of drug source.

摘要:Objective:To explore the effects of Kushenol F on oxidative stress and autophagy in melanocytes.Methods:PIG1 cell line was used as the research object.The cells were divided into the control group, model group, positive control(berberine, 5 μmol/L) group and Kushenol F groups with low-(26 μmol/L), middle-(52 μmol/L) and high-(78 μmol/L) dose.Except the control group, the other groups were treated with 1.0 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) for 24 hours to induce oxidative stress injury.After H2O2 stimulation, each drug group was treated with the corresponding drug for 24 hours.The cell viability was detected by CCK8 assay.The levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS), malondialdehyde(MDA) and glutathione(GSH) were detected by ELISA.The autophagosomes were observed by transmission electron microscope.The expression of E-cadherin was detected by immunofluorescence.The expressions of oxidative stress and autophagy related proteins were detected by Western blot, including Beclin-1, P62, microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3(LC3) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2) .Results:①Compared with the model group, the cell viability of Kushenol F groups with different doses was significantly increased(P<0.01), and the cell viability of high-dose group was significantly higher than that of low-dose group and positive control group(P<0.05) .②Compared with the model group, the levels of ROS and MDA were significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01) and the level of GSH was significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01) in the Kushenol F groups with different doses.The levels of ROS and MDA in the high-dose group were lower than those in the low-dose group and positive control group((P<0.05, P<0.01), and the level of GSH in the high-dose group was higher than that in the low-dose group(P<0.05) .③Compared with the model group, the number of autophagosomes in the Kushenol F groups with different doses was significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01) ; and the number of autophagosomes in the middle-and high-dose groups was significantly more than that in the low-dose group(P<0.05, P<0.01) .④The expression of E-cadherin in the Kushenol F groups with middle-and high-dose was significantly higher than that in the model group(P<0.05, P<0.01), and was significantly higher than that in the low-dose group(P<0.05, P<0.01) .⑤Compared with the model group, after treatment with Kushenol F at different doses, the protein expression levels of Beclin-1, LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ, Nrf2 and P62 were significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01) .Conclusion:Kushenol F may up-regulate Nrf2-P62 signaling pathway, promote melanocyte autophagy, and thus resist oxidative stress injury.
摘要:Objective:To observe the effects of Huayu Bushen Formula on fracture healing and oxidative stress in ovariectomized mice.Methods:Three months old female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the sham operation group, model group and Huayu Bushen Formula group, 10 mice in each group.Bilateral ovariectomy(OVX) was performed in the model group and Huayu Bushen Formula group, while only part of the adipose tissue around the ovary was removed in the sham operation group.Three months after operation, the model of left tibial fracture combined with intramedullary fixation was established in all groups.After modeling, mice in the Huayu Bushen Formula group were treated with decoction of Huayu Bushen Formula at dose of 7.33 g/kg by intragastric administration for 14 days, while mice in the sham operation group and model group were treated with 0.9% NaCl solution at equal volume.After last administration, blood was taken and tibia tissue was separated.The fracture healing was observed by X-ray and Micro-CT scanning.After alcian blue/orange G staining, the histomorphological changes of callus were observed under microscope.The serum levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) were measured by kits.The expression of CollagenⅠ in callus was detected by immunohistochemistry.The expressions of Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2) and SOD in callus were detected by immunofluorescence.The content of MDA in callus was detected by kit.The cell apoptosis in callus was detected by TUNEL assay.Results:①X-ray and Micro-CT examination of tibia showed that, the calluses were few and scattered and the fracture line was clear in the model group, while the calluses were dense and the fracture line was slightly blurred in the Huayu Bushen Formula group.②Alcian blue/orange G staining showed that, there were more cartilage matrix and less bone trabecula in callus of the model group, but less cartilage matrix and dense bone trabecular were observed in callus of the Huayu Bushen Formula group.③The expressions of Runx2 and CollagenⅠ in callus of the model group were significantly lower than those of the sham operation group(P<0.01), and the expressions of Runx2 and CollagenⅠ in callus of the Huayu Bushen Formula group were significantly higher than those of the model group(P<0.05) .④The cell apoptosis of callus tissue in the Huayu Bushen Formula group was significantly decreased compared with that in the model group(P<0.01) .⑤Compared with the sham operation group, the SOD level in serum and callus tissue of the model group was significantly decreased(P<0.01), and the MDA content was significantly increased(P<0.01) .Compared with the model group, the SOD level in serum and callus tissue of the Huayu Bushen Formula group was significantly increased(P<0.05), and the MDA content was significantly decreased(P<0.01) .Conclusion:Huayu Bushen Formula can promote the fracture healing in ovariectomized mice, and its mechanisms may be related to increasing the levels of antioxidant enzymes in serum and local callus, alleviating oxidative stress and inhibiting cell apoptosis.

摘要:Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor in clinic.At present, the treatment methods mainly include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy.With the clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors, the therapy for colorectal cancer has entered the era of immunotherapy.As a part of comprehensive treatment on cancer, traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in the treatment of colorectal cancer.The regulation of traditional Chinese medicine on the immune microenvironment of colorectal cancer is one of the main ways to play its therapeutic role, which mainly manifests in the regulation of adaptive immunity mediated by T cells and immune response mediated by innate immune cells.This paper reviews the influence of immune microenvironment on the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer, as well as the regulation of traditional Chinese medicine on the immune microenvironment of colorectal cancer, so as to provide ideas for the research of tumor immunotherapy with traditional Chinese medicine.
