Effect of Largehead Atractylodes Rhizome on Serum Albumin Level and Intestinal Mucosa Morphology in Rats with Cerebral Hemorrhage

Objective To evaluate the effect and mechanism of largehead atractylodes rhizome on the serum albumin level and jejunal mucosa morphology in rats with cerebral hemorrhage. Methods The cerebral hemorrhage rat model was established by using a simple grouping experimental design method to detect the serum albumin level and the morphological parameter of the jejunal mucosa in the treatment and control groups on Day 1, 7 and 14 after cerebral hemorrhage. Results Compared with the control group, the serum albumin was increased in the treatment group on Day 1 and 7 after the operation (P<0.05), the small intestinal villus height and mucosal thickness were significantly decreased on Day 1, and the small intestinal villus height, villus area and mucosal thickness were all significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion Largehead atractylodes rhizome can increase the serum albumin level of rats, and can aggravate the injury of the small intestinal mucosa in the early stage, but relieve in the late stage.     

Comparative Evaluation of Rice Bran Wax as an Ointment Base with Standard Base

Waxes have been used in many cosmetic preparations and pharmaceuticals as formulation aids. Rice bran wax is a byproduct of rice bran oil industry. Present investigation has been aimed to explore the possible utility of rice bran wax as ointment base compared to standard base. The rice bran wax obtained, purified and its physicochemical characteristics were determined. Ointment base acts as a carrier for medicaments. The ointment base composition determines not only the extent of penetration but also controls the transfer of medicaments from the base to the body tissues. Rice bran wax base was compared with standard base for appearance, spreadability, water number, wash ability and diffusibility. The results show that rice bran wax acts as an ointment base as far as its pharmaceutical properties are concerned and it could effectively replace comparatively costlier available ointment bases.

目的:建立肉豆蔻、麸煨肉豆蔻中总木脂素的含量方法.方法:采用紫外分光光度法,以去氢二异丁香酚为对照品,测定波长275 nm.结果:去氢二异丁香酚质量浓度在1.5～9.0 mg·L-1与吸光度呈良好线性关系,r=0.999 8,平均回收率97.6％(n=6),RSD 1.2％.结论:建立的方法简便、快速、重复性好.     

麸炒白术“减酮减燥,增酯增效”炮制理论的再印证

课题组在前期研究中提出麸炒白术"减酮减燥,增酯增效"的炮制理论,并进行了初步探索,为进一步证明该理论的科学合理性,该研究通过测定白术麸炒前后白术内酯Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ及苍术酮含量变化;比较测定白术生品、麸炒品对大鼠饮水量及尿量的影响;同时考察了白术生品、麸炒品影响脾虚大鼠4种胃肠激素、2种神经递质在血清中含量,试图印证麸炒白术"减酮减燥,增酯增效"炮制理论的科学合理性。

影响中药免煎颗粒疗效的因素分析

为了使中药免煎颗粒最大限度地发挥疗效和扩大使用范围,本文从中药免煎颗粒的分煎与合煎、煎煮"去毒"、品种、包装规格、服用方法几个方面分析了影响中药免煎颗粒疗效的原因,提出了尽量消除影响中药免煎颗粒疗效因素的建议。     

麸炒苍术辅料麦麸对小鼠消化功能影响

目的:研究麸炒苍术辅料麦麸对小鼠消化功能的影响.方法:小鼠随机分组,分别为生麦麸水煎液高低剂量组、麸炒苍术麦麸高低剂量组、炒麦麸高低剂量组,阴性对照组,阳性对照组.测定给药7d后各组小鼠小肠推进率、血清胃泌素水平、总胃酸含量以及脾脏指数.结果:生麦麸水煎液高剂量组各指标较阴性对照组均有显著差异(P＜0.05),麸炒苍术麦麸水煎液高剂量组较阴性对照组小肠推进率有显著差异(P＜0.05),炒麦麸水煎液高剂量组较生麦麸水煎液高剂量组各指标均有显著差异(P＜0.05).结论:高剂量生麦麸水煎液能显著促进小鼠消化功能,而低剂量无此作用.麦麸经炒制后促进消化功能作用消失.麸炒苍术麦麸水煎液在高剂量时能促进小鼠小肠运动,但对其他指标无明显作用.     

Cereal bran and wholegrain as a source of dietary fibre: technological and health aspects

Interest in cereal bran as a source of dietary fibre (DF) and functional components has increased in recent years. Current studies actively focus on DF definition, analysis, formulation in consumer-friendly food products, processing and beneficial health effects. Although bran composition and its benefits to human physiology have been investigated, its technological role as an ingredient is still under study for a variety of cereal foodstuffs. This review provides an overview of cereal bran characterization, functional properties and technological features concerning the bread-making process. In addition, we review the evidence from recent studies indicating that cereal bran may be used as a functional ingredient to improve consumer perception.
