This paper summarizes researches from 2000 to 2010 on Chinese medicine materials that promote digestion. It categorizes them as tonics,digestives,Qi-regulating drugs,aromatic drugs for dispelling dampness,astringents,drugs for warming the interior and drugs for inducing diuresis and excreting dampness,and elaborates their gastrointestinal mucosal protective effects respectively. The mechanism of drugs protecting gastrointestinal mucosa lies in improving gastrointestinal immunity,and regulating intestinal flora and gastrointestinal hormone level. At present,chemical medicines promoting gastrointestinal motility,such as Motihium and Cisapride,have limited effects along with obvious side effects. Hence,the development of Chinese medicine promoting digestion has a bright prospect.

By reviewing and analyzing the researches about the effects of Luteoloside on the respiratory system,the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system and its anti-pyretic and anti-inflammatory effects,antiviral and anti-cancer effects,the paper presented that Luteoloside had strong effects on sterilization,antiphlogosis,antipyresis and analgesia. And it also played a good role in antiviral and anticancer. At present,many researches focused on the extraction and separation of natural product,but little was known about the theory of medicinal property. And the absorption,distribution,biotransformation and metabolic process in vivo were ambiguous. Its mechanism of action is still needed to be studied. In the future,studies about these aspects could benefit the therapeutic action and avoid adverse reactions.

[Objective]To investigate the effects of saikosaponin a(SSa) of RADIX BUPLEURI on the proliferation of human normal liver cell L-02 and its mechanism,and to provide theoretical basis for clinical application of RADIX BUPLEURI. [Methods]Morphological changes were observed and MTT assay was performed to research the toxicity effects of SSa on human liver cell L-02 in different time periods and doses. DNA ladder analysis and Annexin V /PI double staining were both used to detect if cell apoptosis was induced. The contents of SOD,MDA and LDH in supernatant were detected to further research the mechanism of hepatotoxicity induced by SSa. [Results] SSa of different concentrations were all dose dependent to cytotoxicity,but had no relationship with administration time. IC50 values of SSa after administration for 24 and 48 h were 5. 47 and 5. 22 μmol /L,respectively. Annexin V /PI double staining could not detect the early apoptotic cells. Detection results of cell culture liquid showed that SOD activity reduced,while MDA and LDH contents enhanced. [Conclusions] The mechanism of hepatotoxicity in vitro of SSa was not apoptosis induction,but oxidative injury of human liver cell. SSa reduced the activity of SOD,which resulted in cellular membrane injury and finally caused cytotoxicity.

[Objective]To study the effect of the Chinese traditional medicine arbutin on brain cells after ischemia-reperfusion injury and provide a theoretical foundation for its clinical application. [Methods]Forty Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups,namely the blank group,the ischemia-reperfusion group,the chemoprophylaxis group and the medication group. The cerebral ischemia-reprefusion model,made according to the principle of brain damage caused by ischemia,was stained with TTC and HE to observe cells' morphological changes.SOD activity,MDA content and GSH-Px activity in brain tissues were tested. [Results]Compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group,necrosis of ischemia areas stained by TTC in the chemoprophylaxis group and the medication group was less obvious. HE staining showed the alleviation of cells damage. The enhancement of SOD activity and that of GSH-Px activity showed significant differences. MDA content was reduced(P <0.05 for both). [Conclusions]Arbutin had antioxidant properties which can effectively prevent and protect brain cells from damage.

[Objective]To observe effects of ethanol extraction of Cassiae Semen on blood lipid,blood glucose,inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-α in hyperlipidemia rats and explore the mechanism of Cassiae Semen in regulating lipid when used to treat hyperlipidemia rats.[Methods]The hyperlipidemia rat model was established by feeding high calorie-diet and10% alcohol. After modeling,the selected rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: model group,positive control group(Xuezhikang,0. 15 g /kg),low dose group,medium dose group and high dose group(4,8 and 16 g /kg). All groups were applied by intragastric administration by 10 mL /kg for 4 weeks. Except rats in normal control group,the remains were fed with high calorie-diet and 10% alcohol during the period of administration. After the last delivery,blood was sampled and the serum content of total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein- cholesterol(HDL-C) and glucose(Glu) were detected by automated chemistry analyzer. And the content of IL-6 and TNF-α were determined by ELISA. [Results]Compared with model group,the content of TC,TG,LDL-C and Glu in rats treated with ethanol extraction of Cassiae Semen at medium and high dose significantly decreased,and the content of HDL-C increased significantly(P < 0. 01). At the same time,the content of IL-6 and TNF-α in hyperlipidemia rats increased remarkably. And the content of IL-6 and TNF-α significantly decreased in rats of medium dose group and high dose group(P < 0. 01). [Conclusions]Ethanol extraction of Cassiae Semen could effectively improve the serum content of blood glucose and blood lipid in hyperlipidemia model rats,it also could decrease the serum content of inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-α. As a result,it might be benefit to the stabilization of atherosclerotic plaque.

[Obejective]To observe the antipyretic effect of total organic acid in Thladiantha Dubia fruit(TOATDF),and explore its mechanism. [Methods]The rat fever models were established by the injection to SD rats with LPS 100 μg /kg of their body weights. The model rats were randomly divided into TOATDF 300,150 and 75 mg /kg dosage groups,aspirin 150 mg /kg control group and model group,and another10 rats were taken as normal control. Body temperature was measured once every one hour after the medicine,and for six times in a row.ELISAE method was used to determine the expression level of PGE2,TNF-α and IL-β in serum and that of PGE2 in cerebrospinal fluid. [Results]The average body temperature of rats at any point of time in TOATDF 300 and 150 mg /kg dose group of rats was lower than that of rats in the model control group(P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01); temperature of rats in the 75 mg /kg group 2- 5 h after the drug was significantly lower than that of rats in the control group(P < 0. 05); temperature of rats after 1- 5 h in aspirin group after drug was obviously lower than that of rats in the control group. The expression level of TNF-α,PGE2,IL-β in serum and that of PGE2 in cerebrospinal fluid in each dosage group were significantly lower than that in model control group( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01),but higher than that in the normal control group( P <0. 05). [Conclusions]TOATRF has significant antipyretic effect with dose-dependent. Its the antipyretic effect is related to the inhibition of the increase of PGE2,TNF-α and IL-β induced by pyrogen.
