[Metabolomics study on anti-radiation effect of Yiguan Decoction].

The gas chromatography-mass spectrometer(GC-MS) metabolomics method was used to investigate the anti-radiation effect of Yiguan Decoction water extract on mice and explore its related pathways and mechanisms of action. Healthy SPF male mice from Kunming were randomly assigned to six groups: blank group, model group, positive drug group, and high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose groups of Yiguan Decoction, with ten mice in each group. Mice were prophylactically dosed for six days, and ~(60)Co γ ray with 5 Gy was used to establish a radiation mouse model.

Analgesic Activity of Jin Ling Zi Powder and Its Single Herbs: A Serum Metabonomics Study.

Objective: To compare the analgesic effect of Jin Ling Zi Powder (JLZ) and its two single herbs.

Methods: The hot plate method was used to induce pain. Totally 36 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups by a complete random design, including control, model, aspirin (ASP, 0.

[Subacute toxicity metabonomics of Jinlingzi powder based on LC-MS].

To further understand the metabolic characteristics of Jinlingzi powder toxicity effect in rats and explore the effect of Jinlingzi powder on unknown biological pathways in the treatment process. In this experiment, the effect of three doses of Jinlingzi powder decoction on rat liver and kidney was investigated to explore the characteristics and rules of Jinlingzi powder on in vivo metabonomic changes in rats. First, urine and serum samples of the rats were used for LC-MS analysis.

[Anti-inflammation effect of Jinlingzi San in rat metabonomics based on 1H-NMR and LC-MS technology].

To further explore the regulatory effect of Jinlingzi San on in vivo inflammatory mechanism during inflammatory treatment, this study adopted 1H-NMR and LC-MS technology to analyze differences in in vivo metabolites of carrageen-induce rat foot swelling model. Besides, biomarkers related to inflammation models of Jinlingzi San in SD rats were discovered to speculate the regulatory mechanism of Jinlingzi San in resisting carrageen-induce inflammation. Through the analysis of detection spectrum, we found 18 biomarkers of metabolites(citrate, pyruvate, malic acid, succinate, glutamate, lysine, tartrate, 2-oxobutyric acid, glycine, guanosine, 9-cis-retinoic acid, triphosphate, inosine 5'-diphosphate, inosine diphosphate, tripolyphosphate, inorganic triphosphate, glycerophosphocholine, 21-deoxycortisol).

[Nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabonomics for sedative and hypnotic effect of Banxia Houpo decoction].

Insomnia was a common disease, which might be correlated with γ-aminobutyric acid A (GABAA) receptor mechanism, cytokine regulatory mechanism, excitatory amino acid mechanism and hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor mechanism, but the correlations between these independent mechanisms and pathological characterization were still unclear. To further explore the effect of Banxia Houpo decoction on known or unknown biological pathways during treatment of insomnia, the metabonomics method based on ¹H-NMR was developed for detecting the significant changes in metabolomics after the administration with Banxia Houpo decoction in pentobarbital sodium-induced rat sleeping experiment. Serum and urine samples were analyzed by ¹H-NMR.

Meta-analysis of seven randomized control trials to assess the efficacy and toxicity of combining EGFR-TKI with chemotherapy for patients with advanced NSCLC who failed first-line treatment.

Background: Some recent clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate a combination of EGFR- TKI with chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC patients as second-line therapy, but the results on the efficacy of such trials are inconsistent. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination of EGFR-TKI and chemotherapy for patients with advanced NSCLC who failed first-line treatment.

Materials And Methods: We searched relative trials from PubMed, EMBASE, ASCO Abstracts, ESMO Abstracts, Cochrane Library and Clinical Trials.

Efficacy and safety of sorafenib for advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Many clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate sorafenib for the treatment of advanced NSCLC, but the results for efficacy have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in patients with advanced NSCLC in more detail by meta-analysis.

Methods: This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was performed after searching PubMed, EMBASE, ASCO Abstracts, ESMO Abstracts, and the proceedings of major conferences for relevant clinical trials.

(1)H NMR metabolic profiling analysis offers evaluation of Nilestriol treatment in ovariectomised rats.

Nilestriol (NIL) has been applied to treat menopausal dysfunctions, yet its mechanism has remained unknown. To understand the relationship between the changes in homeostatic metabolites and ovarian oestrogen deficiency syndromes after NIL treatment, proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance ((1)H NMR)-based metabonomic technologies were used to analyse a rat model of oestrogen deficiency. An orthogonal partial least-squares regression (OPLS) differentiation model was used on 12-week metabolic analyses of ovariectomised (OVX) rats treated or mock treated with NIL.

[A new triterpenoid fom Radix Pittospori].

To investigate chemical constituents from Radix Pittospori, chloroform extract of the roots was subjected to column chromatography with various chromatographic techniques. The structures were elucidated on the basis of physico-chemical property and spectral analysis. Two triterpenoids were identified as 22-acetyl-21-(2-acetoxy-2-methylbutanoyl)-R1-barrigenol(1) and 3alpha-hydroxyl-20-demethylisoaleuritolic-14(15)-ene-28, 30-dioic acid (2).
