Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR and western blot assay were applied to detect mRNA and protein expression of intelectin-2 and nuclear factor-kappa B in the viral encephalitis and control groups. Nuclear factor-kappa B and intelectin-2 mRNA and protein expression were significantly increased in mice with viral encephalitis. After intraperitoneal injection of Shuanghuanglian at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg for 5 successive days, intelectin-2 and nuclear factor-kappa B protein and mRNA expression were significantly decreased. To elucidate the relationship between intelectin-2 and nuclear factor-kappa B, mice with viral encephalitis were administered an intracerebral injection of 107 pfu recombinant lentivirus expressing intelectin shRNA. Both protein and mRNA levels of intelectin and nuclear factor-kappa B in brain tissue of mice were significantly decreased. Experimental findings suggest that Shuanghuanglian injection may downregulate nuclear factor-kappa B production via suppression of intelectin production, thus inhibiting inflammation associated with viral encephalitis.展开更多

The aim of this study was to evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety for chronic pharyngitis. Methods: From the Cochrane Library, Pubmed, EMbase, Wanfang Datebase, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), VIP (Chinese Scientifc Journals Database), CBM (Chinese Biomedicine Database), We got the qualified randomized controlled trials(RCTs) and adopted RevMan5.3 software and the risk of bias tool according to the Cochrane to perform a metaanalysis. Results: Ten RCTs, a total of 950 cases (involving 472 cases in SHL group and 478 in control group) were included. The results showed that the clinical efficacy in SHL group was superior to control group [Chi2=5.61, 95%CI (4.29, 11.43), P<0.05], and four literatures reported no obvious adverse reactions in SHL group. Conclusion: Application of atomized inhalation of SHL may have a potential advantage in treating chronic pharyngitis. However, due to the limitation of the quality and sample size of those studies, the accuracy of the result should be treated with caution, higher standardized researches are required to justify the conclusion.展开更多

TCMs are different from chemical drugs in that their chemical compositions are complicated. The measurement method based on chemical approach alone is incomplete. In order to solve this problem, in this study a bioassay-based dissolution test was developed. Microcalorimetry was used to obtain growth power-time curves and biothermodynamic parameters of Staphylococcus aureus inhibited by the solution of ShuangHuangLian (SHL) tablet, which was dissolved in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) for different times. The results of the bioassay-based dissolution test of SHL tablet demonstrated that the bioassay method might be a promising alternative for its quality control.展开更多

Combined with optical microscopy, both anaphylactoid experiments and confirmatory assay were displayed in Rat basophil leukemia cells(RBL-2H3) to obtain the histamine release inducing by SHLI. The content of histamine was tested by Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent As-say method. Partial least squares regression(PLSR)method and HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSntechnology were conducted to analyze constituents in SHLI involving anaphylactoid reaction.RESULTS: The results of spectrum and effect relationships showed that the eight constituents were positively correlated with anaphylactoid reaction.Among which, nearly 90% of them were identified as baicalin and rutin with PLSR and HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn. This result was in accordance with confirmatory assay on RBL-2H3 cells.CONCLUSION: Baicalin and rutin from SHLI were the main constituents involving anaphylactoid reaction.展开更多

As the capsule’s main active component, chlorogenic acid comes from the extraction of Chinese herb medicine Flos Lonicerae. The chlorogenic acid in capsule was ultrasonically extracted at room temperature using pure water as solvent. The extracting solution was enriched and cleaned using HC-C18 SPE cartridge. The effect of ultrasonic extraction, sample pretreatment conditions via SPE and q NMR experimental conditions were investigated. The q NMR experiment conditions were selected using deuterated DMSO as solvent, calibrated 1,4-phthalaldehyde as internal standard, and P1(pulse width) = 14.4 μs, d1(pulse delay time) = 1 s, NS(number of scan) = 512. The 1 H NMR peaks of δ 6.138–6.182(H-8’, d, 1 H) of chlorogenic acid was chosen as the quantitative peaks. Method validation was performed, including precision(the intra-day RSD = 1.2% and the inter-day RSD = 1.5%), linearity(correlation coefficient r>0.9999), LOD(0.0017 mg/g) and LOQ(0.079 mg/g). The recovery of the SPE-q NMR was within the range of 100.2%–103.2%. The result showed that the method was stable, accurate and reliabile. Determined by the method, the chlorogenic acid in a real Shuanghuanglian capsule was within the range of 9.68–10.35 mg/g.展开更多

In these cases, the majority were virus infection and 64% of them wascaused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) . The virostatic and bacteriostatic test were done in vitro bythe cell culture method and it was shown that SHL could inhibit the RSV, para-influenza virus I - IV and 23kinds of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus etc. The bacteriostatic effect was positively cor-related to the SHL concentration. Experimental study showed that SHL could enhance the NK cell activity,promote the production of a-interferon and raise the rate of lymphocyte transformation. The controlled obser-vation on SHL preparation with various dosage-forms revealed that the SHL aerosol in treating early ARlshowed better results than that of injections and oral liquid symptomatologically ( P < 0 . 05 ) . The total effec-tive rate was 96% .展开更多

Methods: The 62 patients of viral myocarditis were divided into two groups randomly, the SHLP group (n=32) treated with conventional therapy plus SHLP and the conventional treatment group (n=30) with conventional therapy alone. Their serum antibody of Coxsackie virus group B (COXB-IgM), T-lymphocyte subsets including CD+3, CD+4, CD+8 and CD+4/CD+8 were determined with ELISA and indirect immunofluorescent assay. Results: COXB-IgM was positive in 39 of the 62 patients, which was significantly different with those of normal controls (P<0.001). Patients' serum level of CD+4 cells and CD+4/CD+8 ratio decreased while CD+8 increased. After treatment, the recovery of symptoms, signs and immune function in patients of the SHLP group were significantly better than those in patients treated with conventional treatment alone (P<0.01). Conclusion: Immunoregulatory disturbance is involved in children with viral myocarditis and SHLP is an effective drug in the treatment of children viral myocarditis展开更多

文摘A mouse model of viral encephalitis was induced by intracranial injection of a Coxsackie virus B3 suspension. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR and western blot assay were applied to detect mRNA and protein expression of intelectin-2 and nuclear factor-kappa B in the viral encephalitis and control groups. Nuclear factor-kappa B and intelectin-2 mRNA and protein expression were significantly increased in mice with viral encephalitis. After intraperitoneal injection of Shuanghuanglian at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg for 5 successive days, intelectin-2 and nuclear factor-kappa B protein and mRNA expression were significantly decreased. To elucidate the relationship between intelectin-2 and nuclear factor-kappa B, mice with viral encephalitis were administered an intracerebral injection of 107 pfu recombinant lentivirus expressing intelectin shRNA. Both protein and mRNA levels of intelectin and nuclear factor-kappa B in brain tissue of mice were significantly decreased. Experimental findings suggest that Shuanghuanglian injection may downregulate nuclear factor-kappa B production via suppression of intelectin production, thus inhibiting inflammation associated with viral encephalitis.

文摘Objective: As a Chinese drugs preparation to clear heat and remove toxicity, Shuanghuanglian (SHL) has been widely used, but the clinical efficacy and safety of SHL on chronic pharyngitis remain unclear, especially the application of atomized inhalation of SHL need to be verified. The aim of this study was to evaluate its clinical efficacy and safety for chronic pharyngitis. Methods: From the Cochrane Library, Pubmed, EMbase, Wanfang Datebase, CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), VIP (Chinese Scientifc Journals Database), CBM (Chinese Biomedicine Database), We got the qualified randomized controlled trials(RCTs) and adopted RevMan5.3 software and the risk of bias tool according to the Cochrane to perform a metaanalysis. Results: Ten RCTs, a total of 950 cases (involving 472 cases in SHL group and 478 in control group) were included. The results showed that the clinical efficacy in SHL group was superior to control group [Chi2=5.61, 95%CI (4.29, 11.43), P<0.05], and four literatures reported no obvious adverse reactions in SHL group. Conclusion: Application of atomized inhalation of SHL may have a potential advantage in treating chronic pharyngitis. However, due to the limitation of the quality and sample size of those studies, the accuracy of the result should be treated with caution, higher standardized researches are required to justify the conclusion.

文摘It has been difficult to perform dissolution test on solid preparations of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). TCMs are different from chemical drugs in that their chemical compositions are complicated. The measurement method based on chemical approach alone is incomplete. In order to solve this problem, in this study a bioassay-based dissolution test was developed. Microcalorimetry was used to obtain growth power-time curves and biothermodynamic parameters of Staphylococcus aureus inhibited by the solution of ShuangHuangLian (SHL) tablet, which was dissolved in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) for different times. The results of the bioassay-based dissolution test of SHL tablet demonstrated that the bioassay method might be a promising alternative for its quality control.

文摘OBJECTIVE: To identify the constituents in Shuanghuanglian injection(SHLI) that correlate with anaphylactoid reaction.METHODS: Chemical fingerprints of 10 batches SHLI samples were determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC), and further investigated by similarity analysis. Combined with optical microscopy, both anaphylactoid experiments and confirmatory assay were displayed in Rat basophil leukemia cells(RBL-2H3) to obtain the histamine release inducing by SHLI. The content of histamine was tested by Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent As-say method. Partial least squares regression(PLSR)method and HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSntechnology were conducted to analyze constituents in SHLI involving anaphylactoid reaction.RESULTS: The results of spectrum and effect relationships showed that the eight constituents were positively correlated with anaphylactoid reaction.Among which, nearly 90% of them were identified as baicalin and rutin with PLSR and HPLC-DAD-ESI-MSn. This result was in accordance with confirmatory assay on RBL-2H3 cells.CONCLUSION: Baicalin and rutin from SHLI were the main constituents involving anaphylactoid reaction.

文摘The determination method of chlorogenic acid in traditional Chinese prescription Shuanghuanglian capsule was established by using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(q NMR) in combination with solid phase extraction(SPE). As the capsule’s main active component, chlorogenic acid comes from the extraction of Chinese herb medicine Flos Lonicerae. The chlorogenic acid in capsule was ultrasonically extracted at room temperature using pure water as solvent. The extracting solution was enriched and cleaned using HC-C18 SPE cartridge. The effect of ultrasonic extraction, sample pretreatment conditions via SPE and q NMR experimental conditions were investigated. The q NMR experiment conditions were selected using deuterated DMSO as solvent, calibrated 1,4-phthalaldehyde as internal standard, and P1(pulse width) = 14.4 μs, d1(pulse delay time) = 1 s, NS(number of scan) = 512. The 1 H NMR peaks of δ 6.138–6.182(H-8’, d, 1 H) of chlorogenic acid was chosen as the quantitative peaks. Method validation was performed, including precision(the intra-day RSD = 1.2% and the inter-day RSD = 1.5%), linearity(correlation coefficient r>0.9999), LOD(0.0017 mg/g) and LOQ(0.079 mg/g). The recovery of the SPE-q NMR was within the range of 100.2%–103.2%. The result showed that the method was stable, accurate and reliabile. Determined by the method, the chlorogenic acid in a real Shuanghuanglian capsule was within the range of 9.68–10.35 mg/g.
文摘Two hundred and two cases of acute respiratory tract infection ( ARI) were treated withShuanghuanglian (SHL) aerosol. In these cases, the majority were virus infection and 64% of them wascaused by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) . The virostatic and bacteriostatic test were done in vitro bythe cell culture method and it was shown that SHL could inhibit the RSV, para-influenza virus I - IV and 23kinds of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus etc. The bacteriostatic effect was positively cor-related to the SHL concentration. Experimental study showed that SHL could enhance the NK cell activity,promote the production of a-interferon and raise the rate of lymphocyte transformation. The controlled obser-vation on SHL preparation with various dosage-forms revealed that the SHL aerosol in treating early ARlshowed better results than that of injections and oral liquid symptomatologically ( P < 0 . 05 ) . The total effec-tive rate was 96% .
文摘Objective: To study immune function of children viral myocarditis and to evaluate the clinical effect of Shuanghuanglian Powder (SHLP) by injection. Methods: The 62 patients of viral myocarditis were divided into two groups randomly, the SHLP group (n=32) treated with conventional therapy plus SHLP and the conventional treatment group (n=30) with conventional therapy alone. Their serum antibody of Coxsackie virus group B (COXB-IgM), T-lymphocyte subsets including CD+3, CD+4, CD+8 and CD+4/CD+8 were determined with ELISA and indirect immunofluorescent assay. Results: COXB-IgM was positive in 39 of the 62 patients, which was significantly different with those of normal controls (P<0.001). Patients' serum level of CD+4 cells and CD+4/CD+8 ratio decreased while CD+8 increased. After treatment, the recovery of symptoms, signs and immune function in patients of the SHLP group were significantly better than those in patients treated with conventional treatment alone (P<0.01). Conclusion: Immunoregulatory disturbance is involved in children with viral myocarditis and SHLP is an effective drug in the treatment of children viral myocarditis
