Progress in research into the mechanism of Radix salviae miltiorrhizae in treatment of acute pancreatitis

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common acute abdomen with high mortality, multiple complications and complicated causes. There is no effective therapy for AP. Radix salviae miltiorrhizae (Danshen), a traditional herbal medicine, has a low price and a wide range of clinical applications. It is effective to promote blood flow, eliminate stagnancy, and relieve pain. It is also found to be effective in treating AP. We reviewed the progress in research into the mechanism of Radix salviae miltiorrhizae in treatment of AP. DATA SOURCES: An english-language literature search was conducted using MEDLINE (1988-2005) on Radix salviae miltiorrhizae (Danshen) and acute pancreatitis. RESULTS: The mechanisms of Danshen in the treatment of AP include improvement of microcirculatory disturbances; elimination of oxygen free radicals; modulation of the metabolism of lipid inflammatory mediator; and blocking of calcium inflow and prevention of calcium overload.CONCLUSION: Danshen can effectively reduce the mortality and complications of AP.

Simultaneous Determination of Four Phenolic Acids in Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae Formula Granules by QAMS

[Objectives]This study aimed to establish a QAMS(quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker)method for simultaneous determination of four phenolic acids,salvianolic acid B,tanshinol,lithospermic acid and rosmarinic acid in Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae by HPLC and conduct methodological investigation.[Methods]Salvianolic acid B,with moderate retention time,good resolution,great response value and easy availability was selected as the internal standard,and the relative retention values and relative correction factors between tanshinol,rosmarinic acid,lithospermic acid and salvianolic acid B were established.The results of QAMS were compared with those of external standard method to verify the accuracy and applicability of QAMS.[Results]There were no significant differences between the calculated values of QAMS and the measured values of external standard method.The relative deviation was less than 3%,and the relative correction factors obtained from the experiment were credible.[Conclusions]QAMS can be used to determine the contents of phenolic acids in Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae formula granules.

Effect of Ultrafine Grinding on Dissolving-out Quantity of Tanshinone IIA from Radix Salvia Miltiorrhiza

In order to improve the bioavailability, Radix salvia miltiorrhiza raw powder mixed with distilled water （5.5wt%） was ultrafinely ground to nanosize particles using HSCS pulverizer, and the dissolving-out quantity of tanshinone IIA in the filtrate that obtained from nanoparticles suspension and raw powder marinated in water for different time was determined by HPLC. The experimental results show that raw powder can be ultrafinely ground to 133.5 nm at 1500 r/min for 50 min and the molecular structure of active ingredients doesnot change, and the dissolving-out quantity of tanshinone IIA obtained from the filtrate is increased greatly from 12.77 μg/g to 54.55 μg/g.

The Inhibitory Effect of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae on Hypoxic Structural Remodeling of Intra－acinarPulmonary Arteries

The inhibitory effect of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (RSM) on hypoxic structural remodeling of intra-acinar pulmonary arteries (IAPA) was observed by light and electron microscopy and morphometry. It was found that RSM can not only dilate IAPA and relieve the hypoxic injuries to endothelia cells,but also inhibit the active muscularization of IAPA in the hypoxic animals, suggesting that RSM plays a very important role in inhibiting structural remodeling of IAPA and pulmonary hypertension.

EFFECT OF RADIX SALVIAE MILTIORRHIZAE ON GROWTH OF ISOLATED CELLS FROM EMBRYONIC CHICKEN FRONTAL BONE CULTURED IN VITRO (A HISTOCHEMICAL STUDY) Ⅱ.THE DEVELOPMENT AND MATURATION OF OSTEOBLAST-LIKE CELLS

The isolated osteoblast-like cells from embryonic chicken frontal bone werecultured in vitro and histochemical methods adopted to observe the effect of RadixSalviac Miltiorrhizae (RSM) on proliferation, differentiation, and osteogenic capacity ofthese cells. It was found that: 1. The mitosis and proliferation of the osteoblast-like cellscould be accelerated by RSM, resulting in increased density of the cells in RSM groupas compared with the control. 2. After 48 h, the pseudopodia stretched out and drew backactively in osteoblast-like cells in RSM group. Small particles produced in the cells weresecreted through exocytosis to the extracellular medium. However, in the control group,the capacity to form and secrete these particles was limited. These particles showed posi-tive Alcian blue staining in Alcian blue-Sirius red reaction, so they were acidmucopolysaccharide particles. 3. The osteoblast-like cells could secrete vesicular particles 3micra in diameter. These vesicular particles could be stained with Alcian blue in earlystage, then they could be stained with Sirius red, and finally by Alizarin red S. Thesevesicular particles could aggregate and fuse around the cell colonies, forming bonenodules and bone flakes. The quantity and volume of the bone nodules and flakes inRSM group were larger than in the control group. 4. The bone nodules and flakes couldbe labeled vitally with tetracycline, and show strong yellow fluorescence under thefluorescence microscope. Therefore, these substances were the newly formed bone sub-stances.

EFFECT OF RADIX SALVIAE MILTIORRHIZAE ON THE PROCOAGULANT AND FIBRINOLYTIC ACTIVITIES INDUCED BY ENDOTOXIN-TREATED BOVINE ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

Effect of endotoxin, and endotoxin plus Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae （RSM） on bovine aortic endothelial cells （BAECs） for the production of tissue factor （TF）, plasminogen activator （PA） and plasminogen activator inhibitor （PAI） activities as well as prostacyclin （PGI2） content were studied. Stimulation of BAECs with endotoxin （1 μg/ ml） increased the expression of cell surface TF activity, the secretions of PAI activity and PGI2 content. However, PA activity in endotoxin-treated groups didn’t change significantly in comparison with that of the control. RSM could stimulate the secretion of PA activity and prevent the increase in TF and PAI activities from endotoxin-treated BAECs. However, there was no significant difference in PGI2 production between endotoxin-and endotoxin+RSM-treated BAECs. These results indicated that increased procoagulant function and decreased fibrinolytic activity of endothelial cells （ECs） might be one of the mechanisms of DIC in gram-negative septicemia and RSM would be a very important thug in the prevention and the treatment of DIC in gram-negative sepsis.

THE EFFECT OF RADIX SALVIAE MILTIORRHIZAE ON THE INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS TO THE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATORS SECRETED BY ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

Cultured porcine endothelial cells (EC) produce and secrete plasminogenactivators (PA). If the serum free media incubated by vascular smooth muscle cells(SMC-CM) were mixed with the same media incubated by endothelial cells (EC-CM),the PA activities of the latter decreased significantly. Cocultivation of EC with SMC alsoresulted in a significant decrease (70.7%) of PA activities produced by EC. Sodiumdodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis of SMC-CMfollowed by reverse fibrin autography demonstrated that the PA inhibitor had a molecularweight of 49000-62000. In this study we also investigated the effect of a Chinese herbalmedicine-Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (RSM) on the inhibitory activity of SMC. The re-sults showed that RSM significantly decreased the inhibitory activity of SMC against thePA secreted by EC.

Protective effect of ultrashortwave versus radix salviae miltiorrhizae on brains of rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury

BACKGROUND： HOW to control the effect of oxygen-derived free radicals on development of cerebral injury and cerebral edema is a key factor for treating cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. OBJECTIVE： To observe and compare the protective effects, synergistic action and mechanisms of ultrashortwave （USW） and radix salviae miltiorrhizae （RSM） on the focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries in rats. DESIGN： Randomized controlled animal study SEI-FING： Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, First Hospital affiliated to China Medical University MATERIALS： A total of 160 healthy Wistar rats of both genders and aged 18-20 weeks weighing 250-300 g of clean grade were selected in this study. 5 mL/ampoule RSM injection fluid was produced by the First Pharmaceutical Corporation of Shanghai （batch number： 011019, 0.01 mug）. The USW therapeutic device was produced by Shanghai Electronic Device Factory with the frequency of 40.68 MHz and the maximal export power of 40 W. The first channel of power after modulation was 11 W. METHODS： The experiment was carried out in the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of the First Hospital affiliated to China Medical University from May 2002 to January 2003. Focal ischemia-reperfusion model was established in rats by reversible right middle cerebral artery occlusion with filament. Right cerebral ischemia was for 2 hours and then with 24 hours reperfusion. The scores of neurological deficits were evaluated by 0 to 4 scales. After surgery, 64 successful rats models were divided into four groups according to digital table： control group, USW group, RSM group and RSM ＋ USW group with 16 cases in each group. Rats in control group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of saline （0.1 mL/g）; rats in USW group were given small dosage of USW on head for 10 minutes at 6 hours after reperfusion; rats in RSM group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.01 mL/g RSM solution at 30 minutes before reperfusion; rats in RSM ＋ USW group were intraperitoneally injected with 0.01 mL/g RSM parenteral solution at 30 minutes before reperfusion and given small dosage of USW on head for 10 minutes once at 6 hours after reperfusion; sixteen rats in sham operation group did not receive any treatment. All 80 rats were taken brains at 24 hours after reperfusion to measure wet and dry weights to calculate water content： Cerebral water content （%） = （1-dry/wet weight） × 100%. Superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity was measured by hydroxylamine method and malondialdehyde （MDA） content was measured by TBA photometric method. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES ： Cerebral water content, SOD activity and MDA content RESULTS： All 160 rats except 80 failing in modeling were involved in the final analysis. （① The cerebral water content of left hemisphere made no significant difference （P 〉 0.05）. The cerebral water content of right hemisphere in the control group and the three treatment groups was obviously higher than that of the sham operation group [（81.26±0.77）%, （79.74±0.68）%, （79.76±0.81）%, （79.61±0.79）%, （77.43±0.61）%, P 〈 0.05]. The cerebral water content of right hemisphere in the three treatment groups was obviously lower than that of the control group （P〈 0.05）. There was no significant difference among the three treatment groups （P 〉 0.05）. ② Compared with the control group, SOD activity （right） of the control group decreased obviously （P 〈 0.05）, while MDA content increased obviously （P 〈 0.05）. SOD activity in the three therapeutic groups increased obviously, while MDA content decreased obviously （P 〈 0.05）; there was no significant difference among the three treatment groups （P 〉 0.05）. CONCLUSION： ① USW and RSM therapy have neuroprotective effects against focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries by means of decreasing cerebral water content and MDA and increasing the activity of SOD. ② Synergistic action was not observed between these two therapeutic methods.

EFFECTS OF RADIX SALVIAE MILTIORRHIZAE AND ITS COMPONENT "DANSHENSU" ON THE PRODUCTION OF PA, PAI, PGI_2 AND EXPRESSION OF THROMBOMODULIN BY BOVINE ENDOTHELIAL CELLS IN CULTURE

The effects of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae and its component 'DANSHENSU' on the production of PA, PAI, PGI_2 and expression of thrombomodulin by cultured bovine endothelial cells were studied. 6-Keto-PGF_(1α) was measured with RIA.

AIM: To observe the gastric mucosal injury caused by hemorrhagic shock and reperfusion and to compare the effect between Salvia miltiorrhizae extract F (SEF) and cimetidine (CI) on it. METHODS: A model of hemorrhage/reperfusion injury was produced by Itoh method. Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: 0.9% sodium chloride treatment group (NS group), SEF treatment group (SEF group), and CI treatment group (CI group). Saline, SEF and CI were injected respectively. The index of gastric mucosal lesions (IGML) was expressed as the percentage of lesion area in the gastric mucosa. The degree of gastric mucosal lesions was categorized into grades 0, 1, 2, 3. Atom absorption method was used to measure the intracellular calcium content. Radioimmunoassay was used to measure the concentrations of prostaglandins. RESULTS: IGML (%) and grade 3 (%) were 23.18±6.82, 58.44±9.07 in NS group, 4.42±1.39, 20.32±6.95 in SEF group and 3.74±1.56, 23.12±5.09 in CI group, and the above parameters in SEF group and CI group decreased significantly (IGML: SEF vs NS, t=6.712, P=0.000<0.01; CI vs NS, t=6.943, P=0.000<0.01; grade 3: SEF vs HS, t=8.386, P=0.000; CI vs HS, t=8.411, P= 0.000), but the grade 0 and grade 1 damage in SEF group (22.05±5.96, 34.12±8.12) and CI group (18.54±4.82, 30.15±7.12) were markedly higher than those in NS group (3.01±1.01, 8.35±1.95; grade 0: SEF vs HS, t=8.434, P=0.000<0.01; CI vs NS, t=7.950, P=0.000<0.01; grade 1: SEF vs NS, t =8.422, P=0.000<0.01; CI vs NS, t=8.448, P=0.000<0.01). The intracellular calcium content (μg/mg) in SEF group (0.104±0.015) and CI group (0.102±0.010) was markedly lower than that in NS group (0.131±0.019, SEF vs NS, t=2.463, P=0.038<0.05; CI vs HS, t=3.056, P=0.017<0.05). The levels (pg/mg) of PGE_2, 6-keto-PGF_(1α) and 6-keto-PGF_(1α)/TXB_2 were 540±183, 714±124,17.38±5.93 in NS group and 581±168, 737±102, 19.04±8.03 in CI group, 760±192,1 248±158, 33.42±9.24 in SEF group, and the above parameters in SEF group markedly raised (PGE_2: SEF vs NS, t=2.282, P=0.046<0.05; SEF vs CI, t=2.265, P=0.047<0.05; 6-keto-PGF_(1α): SEF vs NS, t=6.583, P=0.000<0.000; SEF vs CI, t=6.708, P=0.000<0.01; 6-keto-PGF_(1α)/TXB_2: SEF vs NS, t=3.963, P=0.003<0.001; SEF vs Cl, t=3.243, P=0.009<0.01), whereas TXB_2 level in SEF group (45.37±7.54) was obviously lower than that in NS group (58.28±6.74, t=3.086, P=0.014<0.05) and CI group (54.32±6.89, t=2.265, P=0.047<0.05). No significant difference was shown between NS group and CI group (PGE_2: t=0.414, P=0.688>0.05; 6-keto-PGF_(1α): t=0.310, P=0.763>0.05; TXB_2: t=1.099, P=0.298>0.05; 6-keto-PGF_(1α)/TXB_2: t=0.372, P=0.718>0.05). CONCLUSION: Both SEF and CI could inhibit reperfusioninduced injury in gastric mucosa, but with different mechanisms. SEF could not only enhance the protective effect of gastric mucosa, but also abate the injury factors, while CI can only abate the injury factors.
