  • History and Present Situation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Made of Dendrobium

    Qingsheng SHUN;Gang WEI;Yajun WANG;

    This paper aimed to review the origin and status of the traditional medicinal plants of Dendrobium called " Shihu" in Chinese. The medicinal herb named " Shihu" has developed from a single source to multiple sources when there are thirty to forty plant species of Dendrobium that were granted as " Shihu" in traditional Chinese medicinal concept which makes the material market very complicated. After reviewing the historical records of these medicinal plants by many researchers and sorting out relevant studies for nearly 30 years,majority of the original species of this medicinal herb is learned,and the achievements can be reached in each version of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Newly added content in2005 Chinese Pharmacopoeia described as " and its allied species" in " Shihu" section was debatable. The chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Guchui Shihu( from D. chrysotoxum) were vastly different from the other Dendrobium species listed as " Shihu",so it should be listed as an independent item. Meanwhile,the study of quality standard of Huoshan Shihu( mainly from D. huoshanense) should be drawn seriously attention to,and the results should be included in Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

  • Potential Application of TCM Sophoridine in Regulating Intensity of Autophagy to Treat PKD

    Guangqiang MA;Yan LIN;Hanfeng CUI;Qinglong SHU;Hongjiao WAN;

    Nearly all cells have primary cilia( PC) composed of microtubules,primary cilia mainly functioning as sensing various signals of the environment and coordinating intracellular signaling pathways. Autophagy is an adaptive response of cells to environmental stress such as starvation/inflammation and infection. Many ciliopathies may induce autophagy. Polycystic kidney disease( PKD) is the most common ciliopathy,with the incidence of 1/500 to 1/1 000 in the world. A typical symptom of the PKD is the chronic development of multiple renal cysts that may eventually develop into advanced kidney disease. Sophoridine is an alkaloid extracted from the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Sophora alopecuroides L. It is a new antitumor drug which has the function of inducing cell autophagy. This paper mainly discussed the possibility of treating PKD through sophoridine inducing autophagy.

    [Objectives]To observe the protective effect of Cordyceps cicadae polysaccharides on acute liver injury induced by D-galactosamine( D-GlaN) in mice,and to explore its mechanism. [Methods] Seventy-five male Kunming mice were randomly and evenly divided into 5 groups according to the digital table method: normal group( CK)( injected intraperitoneally with saline solution),model group( injected intraperitoneally with D-GlaN),low-dose C. cicadae polysaccharides group( administered with 0. 5 g/kg of C. cicadae polysaccharides solution by gavage),middle-dose C. cicadae polysaccharides group( administered with 1. 0 g/kg of C. cicadae polysaccharides solution by gavage) and high-dose C. cicadae polysaccharides group( administered with 2. 0 g/kg of C. cicadae polysaccharides solution by gavage). After 12 d of administration,the liver histopathological score,liver homogenate indexes( superoxide dismutase,SOD; malondialdehyde,MDA; glutathione peroxidase,GSH-Px; nitric oxide,NO) and serum markers( aspartate transaminase,AST; alanine transaminase,ALT; alkaline phosphatase,ALP; cholinesterase,CHE) of mice in each group were detected. The expression levels of nuclear factor-κB( NF-κB) and tumor necrosis factor-α( TNF-α) in liver tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. [Results]The liver histopathological score and the MDA,NO,AST,ALT,ALP,NF-κB and TNF-α levels were significantly higher( P < 0. 05) and the SOD,GSH-Px and CHE levels were significantly lower( P <0. 05) in the model group compared with the normal group. Compared with those in the model group,the liver tissue histopathological scores in the low-,middle-and high-dose C. cicadae polysaccharides groups were all significantly reduced( P < 0. 05). With the increase of treatment dose,the liver tissue histopathological scores showed a significant decrease( P < 0. 05). Compared with the model group,the levels of MDA,NO,AST,ALT,ALP,NF-κB and TNF-α were significantly lower( P < 0. 05),and the levels of SOD,GSH-Px and CHE were significantly higher( P < 0. 05) in the low-,middle-and high-dose C. cicadae polysaccharides groups. With the increase of treatment dose,the levels of MDA,NO,AST,ALT,ALP,NF-κB and TNF-α declined significantly( P < 0. 05),while the levels of SOD,GSH-Px and CHE rose significantly( P < 0. 05). [Conclusions] C. cicadae polysaccharides have a significant protective effect on D-GlaN-induced acute liver injury in mice in a dose-dependent manner,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway.
