This study aims to elucidate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of Jingfang Granules on acute lung injury, and to investigate the regulatory effect of Jingfang Granules on the metabolic disorders of endogenous metabolites in feces and the homeostasis of intestinal microbiota in acute lung injury, mice were randomly divided into a sham group, a model group, and a Jingfang Granules group. After modeling, the mice were continuously administered for 6 days. Using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole/electrostatic field orbital trap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UHPLC-HESI-QE-Orbitrap-MS/MS) metabolomics technology and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology, changes in endogenous small molecule substances and gut microbiota in mouse intestines were determined, and potential biomarkers were identified.

The mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, and Jingfang Mixture group, and modeling and administration continued for 21 d. The changes in endogenous small molecules in rat serum were determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-Q Exactive-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry(UHPLC-ESI-QE-Orbitrap-MS) metabolomics technology.

Materials And Methods: Thirteen healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups: normal control group, burned control group, sodium hydrogen sulfide group, glibenclamide group, and sodium hydrogen sulfide + glibenclamide group. The burned rats were made into a deep II° 5% total body surface area flame burn injury model.
Although () has diverse bioactivities, such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, immunoregulatory and neuroprotective activities, its pharmacokinetics have not been systematically evaluated. The purpose of this work was to identify the pharmacokinetic properties of AG via various experiments and . In this research, rats and beagle dogs were used to investigate the PK (pharmacokinetics, PK) profiles of AG with different drug-delivery manners, including intravenous (i.

Objective: To investigate the changes in renin angiotensin system (RAS) in hypertrophied myocardium of spontaneous hypertensive rat (SHR), and the effect of Banxia Baizhu Tianma Decoction (BBTD) on the changes in haemodynamic parameters and mRNA of signaling molecules of RAS at different periods.
Methods: Fifty-four male SHRs of 6 weeks old were randomly and equally divided into three groups: the untreated control group, the test group, and the positive control group, and they were treated respectively with distilled water, BBTD and captopril by dissolving in equal volume of water administrated via gavage for 18 weeks. Besides, 18 age matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats treated with distilled water were allocated in a normal control group.
Objective: To investigate the effects of total saponins from rhizomes and flowers of Panax notoginseng on tumor cell induced platelet aggregation (TCIPA).
Methods: MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma was applied as inductor and the platelet aggregation were investigated by Born's method in vitro and in vivo.
Results: Saponins from the flowers of Panax notoginseng inhibited TCIPA at the dose of 120, 240, 480 mg/L respectively in vitro and in vivo.
