2014, 30(2): 101-104.
Abstract:
Tumor differentiation and treatment by TCM is discussed in this paper and the academic thought of "cancerous toxin" has been raised based on the clinical practice of determining etiologic factors based on differentiation and treating tumor by ways of dispelling poison, detoxifying and counteracting toxic substances. Tumor is considered to be the result of the disorder of qi transformation of zang-fu organs, with phlegm and toxicity stasis as the core of the pathogenesis. Thus, syndrome and disease differentiation should be complementary and the development of evil qi and vital qi, the connection between tumor and the diseases should be fully considered. Detoxifying and counteracting toxic substances should be adapted to the patients' situation and the pathological features should be judged by the site of the tumor. Compound methods and complex prescription are proposed as the vital method to treat tumor and the key points of using medicines are mentioned in this paper. For example, relieving symptoms are of great importance and the recurrence and metastasis of tumor should be stopped and the most important thing is to nourish the vital qi.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of pricking blood therapy on local symptoms of the acute gouty arthritis rat model, morphological changes and ultra-structure, and to explore the effective mechanism of pricking blood therapy. METHODS Forty SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, drug group and pricking blood group. The acute gouty arthritis model was set by injecting uric acid into the right ankle joint cavity of the rats. The drug group received 120 mg/kg gastric perfusion of ibuprofen; the pricking blood group pricked the right Kunlun points. The diameter of the injected right ankle joint of the forty rats were measured and recorded before modeling, and 6 h, 24 h, and 48 h after the rats were modeled. The morphological changes were observed under light microscope and ultra-structure was under electron microscope. RESULTS For modeling after 24 hours, there were significant statistical differences between pricking blood group and drug group, and between pricking blood group and model group (P<0.05), while there was no significant statistical difference for modeling after 48 h (P>0.05). From light microscope, sodium urate crystal deposition had been found in model group with dense inflammation infiltration; there were also some sodium urate crystal and inflammation infiltration in drug group; small amount of pink crumby deposition and inflammation infiltration were found in pricking blood group. As shown in electron microscope, for model group, a few of articular cartilage cell membrane was damaged. Inflammation infiltration occurred and cell process endopasmic reticulum expansion turned up with the same occasion for drug group and arrangement of collagen fibers was disordered and dense. For drug group, mitochondria decreased and arrangement of collagen fibers was disordered. For pricking blood group, there was slight disorder in collagen fibers and cell structure was normal. CONCLUSION Pricking blood therapy may reduce the deposition of uric acid sodium in articular cavity, lessen infiltration of the inflammatory cells, and improve the ultra-structure of arthrodial cartilage rapidly and effectively. Compared with conventional therapy, pricking blood therapy has a better effect, and works quickly with less side-effect.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the antidepressant effect six tranquilizing medicines, namely Acorus tatarinowii, Ziziphus jujuba, Zinnober, Thinleaf Milkwort Root-bark, Poria cum Radix, and Silktree Albizziae Flower. METHODS The effects of six medicines on spontaneous activity of mice were evaluated by field test and the effects on immobility time of mice were evaluated by forced swimming test and tail suspension test. The expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein was detected by western blot. RESULTS Compared with control group, no significant difference was found in total animal activities path in field test for each group (P>0.05). However, in the forced swimming test and tail suspension test, the immobility time of mice of Acorus tatarinowii, Zinnober, Thinleaf Milkwort Root-bark, Poria cum Radix, and Silktree Albizziae Flower group was both significantly reduced (P<0.05~0.01). There was no significant difference in expression of GFAP protein for each group (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Acorus tatarinowii, Zinnober, Thinleaf Milkwort Root-bark and Poria cum Radix have antidepressant effect.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develop a HPLC method for the determination of astragaloside Ⅳ and calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside in Qishen oral liquid. METHODS The astragaloside Ⅳ was determinated by ELSD with C18 column. Acetonitrile-water (ratio-32∶68) was set as the mobile phase, the temperature of drift tube was 102 ℃ and the gas flow rate was 2.7 L/min. DAD was used to detect calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, and the mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and 0.2% formic acid aqueous for gradient elution with the detecting wave length of 260 nm. RESULTS The linear ranges of astragaloside Ⅳ and calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside were 1.1~16.5 μg and 0.038~0.382 μg respectively. The average recoveries of two ingredients were 96.73% (RSD=2.08%) and 100.70% (RSD=3.12%). CONCLUSION The analytic results determined by HPLC were accurate, which can be used as reference for quality control in astragalus preparation.
