Objective: To study the effect of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block under direct vision with acupoint injection on the rapid recovery of patients after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: Ninety-three patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2023 to December 2023 were selected and divided into control, TAP block under direct vision (TAP-DV), and TAP-DV with acupoint injection (TAP-DVA) groups using a random number table method. Postoperative VAS, Ramsay score, IL-6, CRP, and postoperative rehabilitation indices were compared among the three groups.
Objectives: Dictamnus dasycarpus is a plant of the Rutaceae family, and its root bark is the main part used as a medicine, named 'Bai-Xian-Pi'. It is used to clear away heat, remove dampness, and dispel wind and also used for detoxification. The purpose of this review is to provide a systematic review about the botany, traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology and toxicology of this plant.

Methods: Distilled water(CK), water extracts of rhizosphere soil(50, 100, 200 and 400 mg/mL) were applied to test their effect on early growth and physiological characteristics of Astragalus membranaceus var.
By using the method of philology, 65 Hui prescriptions for treating cough were been collected to compare Arabic and Chinese names of pennisetum, anemarrhenae, honey, pease, white mustard, perilla and towel gourd stem. The Countif function in Microsoft Excel 2007 was used to count frequency of drugs in the prescriptions and summarize eight common Hui medicine for treating cough, namely sugar, honey, almond, fritillaria, liquorice, orange peel, white mulberry root-bark and lily. According to the commonly used drugs, philological studies and theories of Hui medicines, pathology and therapy of Hui medicines for treating cough were preliminarily inferred.

Objective: To screen and optimize the processing technology of Aconitum flavum.
Methods: The acute-toxicity, anti-inflammatory and analgesic experiments were used as indexes. Four processing methods, including decoction, streaming, baking and processing with Chebulae Fructus decoction, were compared to screen the optimum processing method for Aconitum flavum.
Objective: To provide macroscopic and microscopic identification basis for Ligularia przewalskii.
Methods: Macroscopic and microscopic identification of roots, stems and leaves of Ligularia przewalskii were carried out with the methods of paraffin section, leaves epidermal section and powder transdermal section.
Results: The microscopic characteristics included: Open collateral vascular bundles in stem were not in the same size and arranged in two rings; Lots of fiber bundles scattered in the column parts; There were two vascular bundles in principal vein of leaf; Anticlinal wall of upper epidermis cells was thickened like moniliform, lower epidermis were like waves with irregular; The type of stoma was anomocytic; Calcium oxalate acicular crystal could be seen in the powder.
A new periplogenin cardenolide, periplogulcoside (1), together with three known cardenolides, was isolated from the seeds of Antiaris toxicaria. The structure of the new compound was characterized as periplogenin-3-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) by spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR, HR-TOF-MS, and CD spectrometry, and the known compounds were identified by comparison of their NMR and HR-TOF-MS data with those reported in the literature. Compound 1 showed significant cytotoxicity against Hela and HepG-2 cell lines.

Method: The plasma samples were precipitated by acetonitrile to remove the proteins. Separation was carried out on a Shim-pack XR-ODS C,18(2.
Objective: To study the chemical compositions of active site of Aconitum flavum and their pharmacological effects on anti-inflammatory andantalgic.
Methods: Xylene-induced mice ear swollen and egg white-induce toe swollen test were used to assess the anti-inflammatory effect of Aconitum flavum. Acetic acid-induce mice writhing and hot-plate test were used to assess the antalgic effect of Aconitum flavum.
Current Hui prescriptions are mostly recorded in the Arabic language. Their fussy and inconsistent names (Arabic names) result in the restriction in the clinical application of Hui prescriptions. Having collected and screened out 101 Hui prescriptions for stroke, the author further studied some of their names in literatures, in order to facilitate clinical application of these prescriptions (i.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) have been shown to play a variety of immune-modulatory functions which include activation of T and B cells. Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells are now recognized as a subset of helper T cells which regulate the multiple stages of B cell maturation and function. In our current study, we found that LBP were able to activate CXCR5+PD-1+ Tfh cells and induce IL-21 secretion.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To investigate CD molecular recognition technology applied in active constituents extracted and isolated from traditional Chinese medicine--Aconitum pendulum.
Methods: The inclusion constant and form probability of the inclusion complex of Aconitum pendulum with p-CD was calculated by UV spectra method. The active constituents of Aconitum pendulum were extracted and isolated by molecular recognition technology.
Objective: To study the technological parameters of the extraction process of total alkaloids from Radix of Aconitum flavum.
Methods: Using response surface methodology (RSM) of three factors and three levels to optimize ethanol heat reflux applied for alkaloids extraction from Radix of Aconitum flavum.
Results: A quadratic polynomial mathematical model with good correlation was constructed and employed to the optimization.
Objective: To determine whether matrine, a kind of traditional Chinese medicinal alkaloid, can relax the aortic smooth muscles isolated from guinea pigs and to investigate the mechanism of its relaxant effects.
Methods: Phenylephrine or potassium chloride concentration-dependent relaxation response of aortic smooth muscles to matrine was studied in the precontracted guinea pigs.
