Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the de-alcoholic and hepatoprotective function of Flos puerariae-Semen hoveniae (2∶1) compatibility and determine the optimal dosage regimen. METHODS Chronic alcoholic liver injury animal models were established by gavages of 56° Red Star Erguotou in rats. Experimental animals were given different doses (3, 6, 12 g/kg) of Flos puerariae-Semen hoveniae (2∶1) extracts within different medication courses (4, 8, 12 weeks). The liver index, ALT, AST, TP, ALB and ALP in serum were detected. The liver pathological morphologies were also observed. RESULTS Chronic alcoholic liver injury models were successfully replicated. Flos puerariae-Semen hoveniae (2∶1) compatibility group of each dose displayed no therapeutic effect within four weeks. The level of ALT in Flos puerariae-Semen hoveniae (2∶1) compatibility group of each dose significantly decreased (P<0.05~0.01) after eight weeks administration. After 12 weeks, Flos puerariae-Semen hoveniae (2∶1) compatibility groups showed significantly decreased AST and increased ALB (P<0.05). Low and high dose groups displayed reduced ALT (P<0.05) while the low dose group showed increased TP (P<0.01). The changes in liver pathological morphology were fairly consistent with relevant indicators of liver function. CONCLUSION Flos puerariae-Semen hoveniae (2∶1) compatibility group of each dose shows promising de-alcoholic and hepatoprotective effects after eight weeks of administration. The relevant indicators of liver function improve to varying degrees as the therapy time prolongs. Among them, low dose group performs better than medium and high dose groups.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the neuroprotective effect and the mechanism of Yueju alcohol extract (YJ-E) on chromaffin cells (PC12) injury in rats induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine ion (MPP+). METHODS PC12 cells were given 1 mmol MPP+ to establish Parkinson's disease (PD) model in vitro. The protective effects of YJ-E on PC12 cells were measured by MTT assay and Hoechst staining. The expression of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) and the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) and cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) were determined by Western blotting. RESULTS YJ-E (1.0, 2.0, 4.0 mg/mL) improved the survival of MPP+-injured PC12 cells significantly (P<0.01), and displayed no significant effect on normal PC12 cells (P>0.05). Meanwhile, YJ-E up-regulated the expression of PACAP and the phosphorylation of ERK and CREB significantly (P<0.01) of MPP+-injured PC12 cells. CONCLUSION YJ-E shows promising neuroprotective effects on PC12 cells in MPP+-induced Parkinson's disease model, and the mechanism may be associated with the up-regulation of the expression of PACAP and the phosphorylation of downstream ERK and CREB.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effects of total flavonoids from bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) leaves (BLE) on UVB- irradiated oxidative damage in HaCaT keratinocytes. METHODS The HaCaT cells were pretreated with BLE for 24 h and then exposed to UVB (20 mJ/cm2) for 2 h. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were measured. mRNA transcription levels of these antioxidant enzymes were determined by RT-PCR assay. In addition, the production of TNF-α and IL-6 were detected by ELISA assay. RESULTS BLE significantly reduced the UVB-induced HaCaT cell damage and improved the cell survival rates (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, BLE decreased the levels of ROS and lipid peroxidation, and increased the activities and mRNA transcription levels of endogenous antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT and GSH-Px) in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. In addition, BLE also inhibited the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells. CONCLUSION BLE can exhibit cytoprotective activities against UVB-induced oxidative damage in HaCaT cells through the reduction of ROS, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and regulation of antioxidant enzymes activities. In addition, BLE can also decrease the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells.

Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software. RESULTS 1 318 patients and 13 researches about moxibustion therapy for coronary artery disease were collected. The Meta analysis showed that compared with the control group, the western medicine group[RR=1.22,95%CI(1.11,1.33)]and the acupuncture group[RR=1.5,95%CI(1.23,1.83)], the moxibustion group showed great improvement in relieving angina pectorisis and good effects were shown in the ECG[RR=1.23,95%CI(1.14,1.33)]. In terms of blood liquids, the moxibustion group showed good effects in regulating triglyceride[SMD=-0.81,95%CI(-1.57,-0.06)], low density lipoprotein cholesterin[SMD =-0.55,95%CI(-1.04,-0.06)], and high density lipoprotein cholesterol[SMD=0.43,95%CI(0.2,0.65)] and the changes were of statistical significance. Compared with the Chinese medicine group, the improvement in angina pectorisis of the moxibustion group showed no statistical significance[RR=1.15,95%CI(0.99,1.35)]. The difference between the changes of total cholesterol in the treatment group and the control group had no statistical significance[SMD=-0.74,95%CI(-1.75,0.27)]. CONCLUSION Moxibustion is a unique TCM therapy in treating angina pectorisis and can be applied in clinical practices. Meanwhile, the outcome of this system was not perfect. And more high quality of randomized controlled trials are needed to verify the effect of the therapy.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical effects of integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in treating senile diabetes and explore proper community management for diabetes in our country and improve the therapeutic effect of diabetes treatment. METHODS All cases were randomly divided into 2 groups (control group and experiment group) after intervention. The control group (46 cases) were treated by comprehensive western treatment, while experiment group (44 cases) were given both comprehensive western treatment and Chinese patent. Changes of blood pressure, blood glucose, glycocylated hemoglobin and life quality score were observed in two groups. RESULTS After intervention, levels of fasting blood glucose in two groups both decreased compared to that of pre-intervention (P<0.05). Decreased levels of fasting blood glucose showed statistical difference between them (P<0.01). There was no difference in levels of postprandial blood glucose before and after treatment (P>0.05); both levels of glycocylated hemoglobin in two groups decreased (P<0.05), and the experiment group were much more obvious than that of control group (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance between two groups in differences of systolic and diastolic pressures before and after treatment (P>0.05). When it comes to life quality, vitality (VT), mental health (MH) scores, the experiment group got improvement (P<0.05) and the psychological evaluation score was higher after treatment (P<0.05). In control group, general health (GH), vitality (VT), mental health (MH), and psychological evaluation got improvement after treatment, which is significant statistically (P<0.05). While the difference between two groups didn't show any statistical significance (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Comprehensive intervention is successful in dealing with chronic diseases like diabetes and integration of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine is effective in treating senile diabetes.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical effects of needling in the abdominal acupoints and diet only in treating simple obese patients with heat and dampness in the stomach. METHODS random number table method was adopted to divide 86 obese patients with heat and dampness in the stomach into two groups. There were 44 patients in the treatment group with 3 being uncounted later and the treating method was needling in the abdominal acupoints and certain acupoints in the body. There were 42 patients in the control group with 2 being uncounted later and they were treated with diet only. The certain indexes related to obesity, lipid levels, and nuclear magnetic resonance scanning results were recorded and compared before and after the treatment. CONCLUSIONS The certain indexes related to obesity, lipid levels, and nuclear magnetic resonance scanning results of both groups were lower compared with before(P<0.05~0.01).And the results of the treatment group were lower than the control group(P<0.05). The total effective rate of the treatment group after two periods of treating was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The clinical effect of needling in the abdominal acupoints is better than diet only in loosing weight and is worth of being widely used.
