Shuangdan oral liquid (SDO) containing radix Salviae miltiorrhizae (Chinese name Danshen) and cortex moutan (Chinese name Mudanpi) is a traditional Chinese medicine using for treating vascular diseases. Danshensu (DSS) is a main effective monomer composition derived from radix Salviae miltiorrhizae and paeonol (Pae) from cortex moutan. Although the two herbs are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, the pharmacological functions of their active compositions were not reported. Therefore, the research of DSS and Pae in mechanisms and pharmacodynamics interaction can provide scientific evidence to support clinical application. The diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats which were induced by streptozotocin (STZ) were treated with SDO, DSS, Pae, and DSS+Pae for eight weeks. The positive effects on DN animal models were investigated by detection of physiological and biochemical indexes and oxidative stress markers, within five treatments: SDO, DSS, Pae, DSS+Pae and insulin group. Compared with the model group, the DSS+Pae group improved the renal function, blood lipid metabolism and blood viscosity, increased the vitality of T-SOD or T-AOC and decreased the level of MDA or NO after the treatment. The study was successfully showed that the DSS+Pae group could delay the process of DN, especially in the renal injury part of histopathology changes. Our results suggest that the co-administration of DSS and Pae significantly may play a protective role in DN rats through decreasing the oxidative stress and improving the blood lipid metabolism mechanisms.

목적 : 이전 연구에서 단삼 추출액이 강력한 항산화 작용이 있음을 확인한 바 있어 단삼 추출액이 신장세뇨관 세포에서 oxidant에 의한 세포사망 및 DNA 손상을 방지하는 지를 조사하고 이러한 효과가 지질의 과산화를 억제하는 효과에 기인하는 지를 시험하였다. 방법 : 신장 근위세뇨관 세포 유래 세포주인 opossum kidney (OK)세포를 이용하여 세포 사망은 frypan blue exclusion방법을 이용하여 평가하였고, DNA손상 정도는 double stranded DNA의 파괴를 측정하여 평가하였다. Oxidant 약물 모델로는 $H_2O_2$를 사용하였다. 결과 : $H_2O_2$는 적용시 간과 농도에 비례하여 세포 사망을 유도하였다. 단삼 추출액은 0.05% 농도에서 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포사망 및 DNA 손상을 방지하였다. 이러한 방지효과는 $H_2O_2$ 제거 효소인 catalase와 철 착염제인 deferoxamine에 의해서도 나타났다. 그러나 강력한 항산화제인 DPPD는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망이나 DNA손상을 방지하지 못하였다. $H_2O_2$는 세포내 ATP 농도를 감소시켰으며. 이러한 감소는 poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase억제제인 3-aminobenzamide에 의해 방지되었으나 단삼 추출액에 의해서는 영향을 받지 않았다. 3-aminobenzamide는 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망을 방지하였다. $H_2O_2$는 지질의 과산화를 증가시켰으며, 이러한 변화는 단삼 추출액과 DPPD에 의해 방지되었다 결론 : OK 세포에서 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포사망과 DNA 손상에는 지질의 과산화가 중요한 역할을 하지 않으며, 단삼 추출액의 $H_2O_2$에 의한 세포 사망과 DNA 손상 방지 효과는 항산화 작용이 아닌 다른 기전에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

Dansam, the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza BGE. (Labiatae), has a bitter and a slightly 'cold' property. and is nontoxic. It has been used for the treatment of diseases such as tumors, bruises, gynecologic diseases, menoxenia, anemia and so forth. As an oriental medicine pathway, anal therapy has many kinds of treatments, Retention enema is one the most useful, advantageous methods of anal therapy. This experiment was performed in order to study the effect of an aqueous extract of Salviae radix root(SRRAE) on Immediate type allergic reaction by Retention enema. The results were obtained as follows, 1. SRRAE inhibited compound 48/80-induced Immediate type allergic reaction 100% with the dose of 0.1g/kg by anal treatment. However, SRRAE showed no significant inhibitory effect on the same reaction by oral treatment. When mice were pretreated with SRRAE at a concentration ranging from 0.001 to 1.0g/kg, by intra-anal treatment, the serum histamine levels were reduced in a dose-dependent manner. 2. SRRAE also inhibited by 79.8% local cutaneous allergic reaction activated by anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE. 3. SRRAE close-dependently inhibited the histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells(RPMC) by anti-DNP IgE., but SRRAE not inhibited compound 48/80-induced histamine release. 4. SRRAE dose-dependently inhibited tumor necrosis $factor-\;{\alpha}$ $(TNF-\;{\alpha}$) production from RPMC by anti-DNP IgE. Moreover, the level of cAMP in RPMC, when SRRAE was added, significantly increased compared with that of a normal control. According to the above results, anal therapy(Retention enema) of SRRAE may be beneficial in the treatment of systemic and local Immediate type allergic reactions.

Objectives: We investigated the effects of Clean-DM4 (C-DM4), a polyherbal extract consisting of Coptidis Rhizoma, Salviae Miltiorrhiza Radix, and Cinnamomi Cortex on high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and diabetes in mice. Methods: The C57BL/6 mice (6 weeks) were fed a HFD for 8 weeks and then administrated with C-DM4 extract at 500 mg/kg (p.o.) once daily for 4 weeks. The changes of body weights, calorie intakes, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels were measured in mice. The serum levels of glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured in mice by enzyme-based assay. It was also observed the histological changes of pancreas, liver, and fat tissues with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Results: The increase of calorie intakes and FBG levels in HFD-induced obesity mice was significantly decreased by oral administration of C-DM4 extract. C-DM4 extract administration was significantly reduced the increased levels of glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, AST, and ALT in obesity mice. In addition, C-DM4 extract inhibited lipid droplet accumulation in liver tissues of obesity mice, hyperplasia of pancreatic islets, and enlargement of adipocytes in adipose tissues. Conclusions: Our study indicates that C-DM4 extract could help improve obesity and to prevent diabetes progression.
