Based on the Rat Model of Wind-Cold Superficies Syndrome Model to Explore the Effect of the Ascending and Floating of Ephedrae Herba on the Efficacy of Tongxuan Lifei Prescription
Objective Through the investigation of Tongxuan Lifei prescription and Tongxuan Lifei prescription to reduce Ephedrae Herba on the respiratory system,central system,urinary system,circulatory system and digestive system of model rats with wind-cold superficies symptoms,to explore the effect of the ascending and floating of Ephedrae Herba on the efficacy of Tongxuan Lifei prescription and to provide theoretical basis for clinical prescription.Methods 60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group(CON),model group(M),paracetamol group(Y,0.455 g·kg-1),Ephedrae Herba group(MH,2.340 g·kg-1),Tongxuan Lifei prescription group(TX,4.326 g·kg-1)and Tongxuan Lifei prescription to reduce Ephedrae Herba group(TX-MH,3.920 g·kg-1),10 rats in each group.Except for the CON group,the rats of the groups were modeled with fan blowing and cold stimulation.The model was successful when the rats appeared in a state of crouching or condensed,decreased spontaneous activity,hunched back,sneezing,and elevated body temperature.After successful modeling,the corresponding drugs(10 mL·kg-1)were given respectively,and the rats in the CON and M group were given the same volume of distilled water for 4 consecutive days.The basic state of the rats was observed,ammonia induced cough,phenol red excretion and levels of inflammatory factors(IgE,IL-4,IFN-γ)in BALF,lung histopathological sections and oxidative stress(MDA,SOD and GSH-Px)levels were determined to investigate the effects of TX and TX-MH on the respiratory system.The effects of TX and TX-MH on the central system were investigated by the open field experiment,the sleep time of rats and the levels of inflammatory factors(IgE,IFN-γ,IL-4)in serum.The effects of TX and TX-MH on digestive system were investigated by gastrointestinal motility and levels of motilin(MTL),somatostatin(SST)and gastrin(GT)in plasma.The effects of TX and TX-MH on the urinary system were investigated by the levels of toe sweat secretion,urine volume,serum creatinine(CRE)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN).The effects on the circulatory system were investigated by the rat cardiac function and the levels of serum NO.Results TX could increase the body weight and decrease the body temperature of rats with wind-cold superficies symptoms;TX could stimulate the central system,improve the respiratory system,enhance the urinary-sweat system,and has no obvious effect on the circulatory system and digestive system.The effects of TX-MH on the respiratory system and the central system is obviously weakened,and the circulatory system and the digestive system are basically not affected.In general,the effect of TX is better than that of TX-MH,which indicates that the removal of Ephedrae Herba,the ascending and floating medicine,weakens the effect of TX on"promoting cold"and"xuanfei relieving cough".Conclusion The Ephedrae Herba's ascending and floating medicinal properties play an important role in the efficacy of Tongxuan Lifei prescription's"promoting cold"and"xuanfei relieving cough".
