自拟中药对CCl4诱导的肝纤维化大鼠肝组织Smad3表达的影响

目的研究自拟中药对CCl4诱导的大鼠肝纤维化肝脏Smad3表达的影响，探讨其抗纤维化的作用机制。方法Wistar大鼠40只，随机分成正常对照组、模型组、自拟中药组、鳖甲软肝片组，采用CCl4背部皮下注射构建肝纤维化模型，行HE和VG染色，光镜下观察肝组织肝纤维化程度。同时免疫组化SABC方法检测各组Smad3的表达。结果与正常对照组比，模型组Smad3表达明显增强，自拟中药组大鼠肝脏Smad3的表达（0．279±0．085对0．885±0．904，P〈0．05）显著下调。另外，自拟中药组大鼠肝脏肝纤维化病理变化显著改善。结论自拟中药对CCl4诱导的大鼠肝纤维化模型肝脏Smad3表达有明显的下调作用，可能是其抗肝纤维化的主要作用机制之一。

Prevalence of use and reported side effects of herbal medicine among adults in Saudi Arabia

ObjectiveDespite the availability of well characterized and scientifically proven medicines, many people prefer the use of the less known herbal therapies that have no-scientific or evidence-based values as their first line of treatment. While this represents a growing worldwide issue, it is commonly practiced in developing countries including Saudi Arabia. Hence, the aim of the present study is to assess the prevalence of herbal medicine use, the most reported side effects and influencing factors in Saudi Arabia.DesignA community based cross sectional survey study.SettingsParticipants were recruited by convenience sampling method from local malls and family recreation sites.Main outcome measuresPrevalence of herbal medicine use and the associated risks.ResultsOut of the 1300 surveyed individuals, 1226 respondents (94 %) used herbal medicines for therapeutic purposes with the majority of the respondents using them based on traditional beliefs 699 (57 %) or family recommendations 417 (34 %). Young respondents <35 year olds who live in urban cities, showed a significantly better knowledge about herbal medicines use and the associated risks than their counterparts (p < 0.001). Despite the high percentage of reported side effects (46 %), more than half of the respondents 702 (54 %) use herbal medicines as their first line of therapy. However, the most reported reasons for the use of herbal medicine are the belief that they are safer, more effective and cheaper to buy than the standard medicines.ConclusionThere is a high prevalence use of non-scientifically proven herbal medicine and a low level of knowledge about their risks amongst participants.     

Western herbal medicines in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of Western herbal medicines in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).DesignA computer-based search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, AMED, GreenFILE, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, and the Cochrane Library was conducted. A hand-search of the bibliographies of relevant papers and previous meta-analyses and reviews was also undertaken. Trials were included in the review if they were double-blind and placebo-controlled investigating the effects of Western herbal medicines on IBS-related symptoms or quality of life. There were no language restrictions. Eligibility assessment and data extraction were performed by two independent researchers. For herbal medicines where there was more than 1 trial of similar design, data were synthesised using relative risk of symptoms improving using the random effects model.ResultsThirty-three trials were identified that met all eligibility criteria. Seventeen of these evaluated peppermint essential oil, fifteen other Western herbal medicines, and one trial evaluated peppermint oil in one arm and aniseed essential oil in the other arm. Eighteen different herbal preparations were evaluated in these trials. Data suggests that a number of Western herbal medicines may provide relief of IBS symptoms. Meta-analyses suggest that peppermint essential oil is both efficacious and well-tolerated in the short-term management of IBS. Aloe vera and asafoetida also demonstrated efficacy in reducing global IBS symptoms in meta-analyses. The herbal formulas STW 5, STW 5-II and Carmint, along with Ferula assa-foetida, Pimpenella anisum oil, the combination of Curcumin and Foeniculum vulgare oil, and the blend of Schinopsis lorentzii, Aesculus hippocastanum, and peppermint essential oil also demonstrated efficacy in rigorously-designed clinical trials.ConclusionA number of Western herbal medicines show promise in the treatment of IBS. With the exception of peppermint essential oil, Aloe vera, and asafoetida, however, none of the positive trials have been replicated. This lack of replication limits the capacity to make definitive statements of efficacy for these herbal medicines.
