Objective: To study the influence of haliotidis extractive on the oxidative damage in the human lens epithelial cells cultured in vitro.
Methods: Experimental study. Cultured human lens epithelial cells in vitro were intervened with hydrogen peroxide caused oxidative damage model, at the same time added different concentrations of concha haliotidis extractive. With control experiment research cells were divided into the blank control group, positive control group hydrogen peroxide group and hydrogen peroxide and different concentrations of concha haliotidis group, and on the first, third, fifth day the activity of Cultured human lens epithelial cells were detected with Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) , cellular proliferation and morphological changes were observed with interred phase contrast microscope, and then on the third day chemical colorimetric were used to detect the homogenates superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione(GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) level.
Results: (1) At different time points there were variations between the activity of HLEC in each experimental group, Among each experimental group HLEC OD value of the cell vitality at 1 d, 3 d, 5 d , respectively were blank control group: 0.88, 1.28, 1.32; Positive control group: 0.73, 1.02, 1.06; 0.001% concha haliotis extract group: 0.73, 1.03, 1.06; 0.01% concha haliotis extract group: 0.76, 1.10, 1.13; 0.1% concha haliotis extract group: 0.79, 1.22, 1.21; 0.3% concha haliotis extract group: 0.79, 1.21, 1.21; the difference between groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05) (1 d, F = 23 922.42, P < 0.05;3 d, F = 120 605.86, P < 0.05; 5 d, F = 150 939.45, P < 0.05). H2O2 made the vitality of the cells reduce, concha haliotidis enhance its vitality, and in a certain range of time and concentrations there was dependence, with which the third day and 0.1% was the best. (2) After adding H2O2, the SOD and GSH level of HLEC reduced,(SOD 158.05 U/mgprot,GSH 15.05 mg/gprot) but MDA increased to 18.11 nmol/mgprot, concha haliotidis groups made the increase of antioxidant level(SOD 188.64 U/mgprot,GSH 21.05 mg/1000 mgprot)and the decrease of lipid peroxidation in oxidative damaged HLECs(MDA 14.16 nmol/mgprot), change had a statistical significance(P < 0.05) (SOD: F = 983.04, P < 0.05; GSH: F = 444.44, P < 0.05; MDA: F = 830.52, P < 0.05). (3)The chromatin of the positive control group concentrated and aggregated obviously, the aggregation of chromatin in concha haliotidis group lightened.
Conclusion: The concha haliotidis can protect the cultured human lens epithelial cells in vitro which are oxidative injured, increased intracellular antioxidant levels, reduce the generation of hazardous products.

A comparable study were carried out by determination of trace elements on five marine-derived shell traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) (Ostreae Concha, Haliotidis Concha, Margaritifera Concha, Meretricis Concha, and Arcae Concha), which were recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 version). Seven trace elements in 51 batches of this type of shell TCM were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), combined with principal component analysis (PCA) methods. The content of element Se, which exhibited significant differences among different drugs, could be used as a key element to distinguish this type of drugs.

Testacean traditional Chinese medicine (TTCM), derived from the outer shell of sea or freshwater mollusks, is a special and important category of Chinese medicinal materials. To ensure the effective use of TTCM, a comparative identification study was performed on five commonly-used testacean drugs, including Haliotidis Concha, Arcae Concha, Meretricis Concha, Ostreae Concha and Margaritifera Concha (Shijueming, Walengzi, Geqiao, Muli and Zhenzhumu in Chinese, respectively). Typical morphological photographs of the crude drugs were acquired, and the key microscopic characteristics of the derived powders under normal light microscope and polarized light microscope were summarized.

The identification of five marine-derived shell traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia were studied. Using near infrared technology (NIR) combined with principal component analysis (PCA) methods, Ostreae Concha, Haliotidis Concha, and Margaritifera Concha could be efficiently distinguished from Meretricis Concha together with Arcae Concha. In the first principal components, Ostreae Concha exhibited obvious differences with high loadings in 4 236, 5 263, 7 142 cm(-1) concerning to the contents of CaCO3 and H2O in the samples.

Objective: To observe the impact of Shijueming (Concha Haliotidis) on spontaneously hypertensive rats via blood pressure, serum calcium, vascular smooth muscle membrane L-type calcium channel alpha1 C subunit (CaL-alpha1C), plasma membrane calcium-ATPase (PMCA) mRNA expression, and the L-type calcium channel in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Methods: Twelve-week-old male rats with spontaneous hypertension were divided into three groups: a Shijueming (Concha Haliotidis) group (group 1), a nifedipine group (group 2), and a distilled water group (group 3). All were given a four-week treatment.
