[Effect of Buyang Huanwu decoction and its simple prescription (Naojian tablet) on CDK4/Cyclin D1 expression of rats with cerebral ischemia].

To evaluate the regulating effect of Buyang Huanwu decoction and its simple prescription (Naojian tablet) on CDK4/Cyclin D1 expression in hippocampus tissues of rats with cerebral ischemia, SD rats were divided into the sham-operation group, the model group, the Buyang Huanwu decoction group (ig, 3.15 g · kg⁻¹) and the simple prescription group (ig, 2.41 g · kg⁻¹).

Buyang Huanwu Decoction () reduces infarct volume and enhances estradiol and estradiol receptor concentration in ovariectomized rats after middle cerebral artery occlusion.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (, BYHWD) on estradiol (E2) and estradiol receptor (ER) in serum and brain in ovariectomized rats after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).

Methods: Adult female rats were ovariectomized and focal cerebral ischemic was induced by MCAO. Rats were randomly divided into normal, ovariectomy (OVX), MCAO, OVX+MCAO, OVX+MCAO+E2, and OVX+MCAO+BYHWD group.

[Comparative study on effect of three preparations of xiaoyao formula on soothing liver and strengthening spleen].

Objective: To compare the effect of three preparations of xiaoyao formula (xiaoyao capsule, xiaoyao pill and Xiaoyao decoction) on soothing liver and strengthening spleen.

Method: The liver depression and spleen deficiency rat model were established by forcing swimming, confining movement test and feeding on alternate days. The rats were randomly divided into eight groups, namely the blank group, the model group, the Cisapride group (2.

Simultaneous determination of synephrine, arecoline, and norisoboldine in Chinese patent medicine Si-Mo-Tang oral liquid preparation by strong cation exchange high performance liquid chromatography.

Context: Chinese patent medicine Si-Mo-Tang oral liquid preparation (SMT) is composed of Aucklandia luppa Decne (Compositae), Citrus aurantium Linn (Rutaceae), Lindera aggregata (Sims) Kosterm (Lauraceae), and Areca catechu Linn (Arecaceae). Studies of SMT have been impeded due to the lack of quality control methods.

Objective: This study aimed to simultaneously determine three alkaloids including synephrine, arecoline, and norisoboldine in SMT for the first time.

Simotang enhances gastrointestinal motility, motilin and cholecystokinin expression in chronically stressed mice.

Aim: To investigate the effect of Simotang (Decoction of Four Powered Drugs) on gastrointestinal motility, motilin and cholecystokinin expression in chronically stressed mice.

Methods: Forty mice were randomly divided into control group, stress group (model group), mosapride group and Simotang group, 10 in each group. A variety of unpredictable stimulations were used to induce chronic stress in mice.

[Effect of Buyang Huanwu decoction on interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α expression in rats after cerebral infarction].

Objective: To explore the effect of Buyang Huanwu decoction (BYHWD) on pro-inflammatory cytokines in rats after focal cerebral infarction.

Methods: Adult Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into following groups: normal control, sham, model, BYHWD. The rats in latter three groups were subdivided into subgroups of 1, 3, and 7 days after medication, with 5 rats in each group.

[Effect of ultra-micronized Buyang Huanwu decoction on neurological function, quality of life, and serum vascular endothelial growth factor in patients convalescent from cerebral infarction].

Objective: To study effect of Buyang Huanwu decoction (BYHWD) on neurological function, quality of life, and serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients convalescent from cerebral infarction, and to evaluate the effect of ultra-micronized BYHWD.

Methods: Two hundred and fifty-one patients met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to traditional BYHWD (TB) group (n=83), ultra-micronized BYHWD (UB) group (n=85) and the control group (n=83) according to time of entrance into the study with 1:1:1. All patients received rehabilitation training, but for patients in the TB and UB groups, traditional BYHWD (15 g, twice a day) or ultra-micronized BYHWD (5 g, twice a day) was given respectively, for a course of 12 weeks.

[Chemical contrast research on Buyang Huanwu complex ultramicro powder soak and traditional decoction].

Object: To study the chemical composition of Buyang Huanwu complex ultramicro powder soak and traditional decoction.

Methods: Extractive determination, heavy metal and arsenic determination, TLC and HPLC were used to analysis the chemical composition.

Results: The extract of Buyang Huanwu complex ultramicro powder soak was higher than that of traditional decoction.

Molecular authentication and quality control using a high performance liquid chromatography technique of Fructus Evodiae.

In present paper, the properties of molecular authentication combined with the fingerprints of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were validated by analyzing ten batches of Fructus Evodiae samples (the dried nearly ripe fruit of Evodia rutaecarpa (JUSS.) BENTH., Evodia rutaecarpa (JUSS.
