Experimental research into the effect of Qingzao Jiufei decoction on rats infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae WU Zhen qi, LIU Guang hua, YUE Zhi jun 2013, 5 (1):  1-4.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-3865.2013.01.001 Abstract ( 763 )   PDF (488KB) ( 201 )   Save Objective：To observe the effect and the mechanism of Qingzao Jiufei decoction on pathological inflammation of lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in rats infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP).Methods：Totally 90 rats were randomized into 6 groups, namely, normal group (group A), model group (group B), Qingzao Jiufei high-dose group (group C), Qingzao Jiufei medium-dose group (group D), Qingzao Jiufei low-dose group (group E) and roxithromycin group (group F) ,with 15 rats in each. The rats of the last five groups were made into MP infection models. The same volume of drugs or normal saline was given to each group by introgastric administration respectively. The pathological inflammation score of lung tissue, MP and MPDNA of BALF was detected after 7, 10 and 14 days of MP infection. MP of BALF was tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, and MPDNA content was tested by fluorescent quantitative PCR (Real-time FQ PCR).Results：Seven days after MP infection models were made, the pathological changes, the positive rate and the content of MPDNA in B group were obviously higher than those in group A, which showed that MP infection models were made successfully. In group C and group F pulmonary inflammation had obvious improvement; group D achieved effective results after 10 and 14 days of infection; group E did not achieve obvious effect. Group C, D and F had significantly more effect than other groups in reducing MPDNA in BALF; the effect of group E was not obvious at 7th and 10th day, but had an advantage at 14th day.Conclusions：It shows that Qingzao Jiufei decoction is effective in anti-MP, and the efficacy might be correlated with dose and time of administration and infection.

Apart from the normal group, the mice in the rest of each group were made into lung-Qi deficiency syndrome models by adopting improved smoked method; tested drugs were given by intragastric administration for five weeks; XTT method was taken to assay the proliferation of splenic lymphocyte stimulated by the LSP or ConA.Results：After lung-Qi deficiency modeling，the function of the splenic B and T lymphocyte proliferation was significantly lower than the normal control group (P<0.001)；after the tested drugs were given by intragastric administration, the function of splenic B and T lymphocyte proliferation was significantly increased; compared  with the model group, the splenic lymphocyte proliferation function of control group, of Yupingfeng powder group, of Yiqi Guben capsule high-dose group and middle-dose group was significantly increased(P<0.05)，and the increase of Yiqi Guben capsule high-dose group was the most significant.Conclusions：Yiqi Guben capsule can improve the lymphocyte proliferation activity of lung-Qi deficiency mice，thereby regulate the immune function.

Xiaoban Yushen compound and telmisartan were given at the eighth week of the experiment for gavage, once daily for five consecutive weeks; at the end of the 12th week, blood was taken to detect immune complexes content, and kidney tissue was taken to detect IL-13 expression.Results：Compared with the model group, IL-13 expression and serum concentration of CIC in Xiaoban Yushen compound group decreased (P<0.01); compared with telmisartan group, IL-13 expression and serum CIC concentration in Xiaoban Yushen compound group decreased (P<0.05); both differences had statistic significance.Conclusions：Xiaoban Yushen compound plays a role in regulating IL-13 expression in renal tissue and serum CIC concentration of IgA nephropathy.

Experimental research into the influence of Yiqi Guben capsule on the spleen lymphocyte proliferation function and organ index in the kidney Yang deficiency asthma model mice. CHEN Yue yuan, SUN Li ping. 2013, 5 (1):  12-16.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-3865.2013.01.004 Abstract ( 569 )   PDF (566KB) ( 1163 )   Save Objective：To observe the influence of Yiqi Guben capsule on the spleen lymphocyte proliferation function and organ index in the kidney-Yang deficiency asthma model mice and to explore its clinical significance.Methods:Totally 96 mice were randomly divided into seven groups: normal control group, asthma group, the kidney-Yang deficiency asthma group, kidney-qi-tonifying pill group, the Yiqi Guben capsule low-dose group, middle-dose group, high-dose group. Apart from the asthma group consisting of 12 mice, the remaining groups each consisted of 14 mice(male and female in half). kidney-Yang deficiency asthma groups were treated with Yiqi Guben capsule. Recorded changes in the general condition of the mice in each group during modeling and the period of administration, such as, body weight, body temperature and activity, hair color, diet, breathing frequency, etc. After the experiment, took the spleen and examined the lymphocyte proliferation function; took the kidney, spleen and thymus, and weighed them and calculated the organ coefficient.Resluts:In the Yiq Guben capsule group and kidney-qi-tonifying pill group, the mice weight and thymus weight were significantly higher than the kidney-Yang deficiency asthma group; in the Yiqi Guben capsule middle-dose group, the high-dose group and kidney-qi-tonifying pill group, the spleen lymphocyte proliferation by LPS stimulation was significantly higher than the kidney-Yang deficiency asthma group.Conclusion:Yiqi Guben capsule can significantly improve the general state of the kidney-Yang deficiency asthma mice, restore immune organ weights, and improve the function of the spleen lymphocyte proliferation.
