Description


TECHNIQUE FIELD

[0001] This invention relates to a kind of medicine and its preparation, which is used to treat CRF.



BACKGROUND TECHNIQUE

[0002] CRF (chronic renal failure) is many primary and secondary nephropathys' end pathologic stage, which is caused by the nephron's necrobiosis and charactered by the kidney related abnormity of the excretory function, instability of the internal environment and endocrine disorder. It is a serous and refractory disease in the clinic and is one of the common diseases which affect the human's health and cause people to die. According to the statistic data of north America, west European and Australia, about 100˜50 persons one year in a million people develop to the stage of renal failure, what's more the number of the people who have developed to the stage of uremia is on a upward trend. The recent investigation in the America shows that in the past 10 yeas, the annul growth rate of the nephropathy patients in the final stage is reaching 9%, the incidence of the disease is beyond 200 person every one million, and this investigation forecasted that the total number of the uremia patients would exceed 250000 person. The related epidemiologic data of China indicated that the death rate of the CRF is 67.6 people every one million, and it is 10% of the total death rate. Though the dialysis and the renal transplantation are both the effective method, they can't prevent and cure the disease in the early and middle stage. What's more the expensive cost is a heavy duty to both the country and the family. In the world, there are only about 20% area owning the instrument of dialysis, and in China no more than 1.0% of the final-stage-nephropathy patients can receive the therapy of dialysis, and even less people have the chance to do the renal transplantation. According to this reality, it is a focus to study the non-dialysis therapy and medicine of the CRF in the field of the nephropathy therapeutired peony root.


[0003] In the recently years, the researcher of the whole world have finished a lot of studies on the mechanism of the rest nephron's necrobiosis. In the field of the non-dialysis therapy, they developed some medicines with clearly chemical structure and simple components, such as Ketosteril (some essential amino acid and keto acid), ACEI, active Vit D, EPO and etc. But all these medicines are hard to be widely used in China, because they are expensive and can only release some of the symptoms. ACEI can inhibit the remaining nephrons's fibrosis, but the individual variation is very big and there are many side-effection. The Chinese materia medica preparation “Mao shen kang pian” which reported effective to treat CRF in Chinese journals is individual component. Rhubarb is the principal drug in the “niao du qing chong ji”, and this Chinese patent medicine's main effect is eliminating the evil factors. The inventor believes that the mechanism of the CRF is the declination of “the primordial qi of the kidney” and the stasis of the mucous toxin. The declination of the “primordial qi of the kidney” means the declination of kidney-qi, kidney-yin and kidney-yang; the stasis of mucous toxin means that the metabolism waste produced by the body can't be discharged because of the declination of “the primordial qi of the kidney”. The declination of “the primordial qi of the kidney” is the principal reason the CRF, while the stasis of the mucous toxin is the main manifestation of the disease. Because of this mechanism, this disease's excessive manifestation is caused by the deficiency of the organs, and the deficiency-in-origin-and-excess-in-superficiality syndrome is usual seen. But by so far, there is not a drug that can protect the primordial of the kidney, balance the kidney-yin and kidney-yang, reinforce and reduce normally, strengthen the body resistance and discharge the mucous evil at the same time.


[0004] In a word, CRF is a serious and refractory clinical disease. Its incidence is on an upward trend and the related mortality has reached 10% of the total people's death rate. Because the cost of the dialysis and the transplantation is expensive while the kidney is difficult to get and the transplantation has so many complicating syndrome, dialysis and transplantation is difficult to be popularized. So that, developing the effective Chinese patent medicine on treating CRF is a worthy direction to be studied.


[0005] Technology Content


[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medicine which can treat CRF and its preparation.


[0007] The purpose of this invention comes to the reality by the technical proposal as following:


[0008] The basic materials of the invented medicine are that:
1Fleece-flower root100-600 part-by-weightdodder100-600 part-by-weightPseudostellaria root100-600 part-by-weightatractylodes rhizome100-600 part-by-weightWolfberry fruit100-600 part-by-weightAchyranthes root100-600 part-by-weight


[0009] The following herbs can be added into the basic materials:
2Lycopus herb100-600 part-by-weightred peony root100-600 part-by-weightIndian bread100-600 part-by-weightalisma rhizome100-600 part-by-weightPsyllium seed100-600 part-by-weightrhubarb100-600 part-by-weight


[0010] The invented medicine can be prepared as following:


[0011] Take the prepared fleece flower root and the prepared rhubarb then crush them in to raw flour. According to the percolation recorded in the entry about fluidextract and extract, use 60%-90% alcohol as the dissolvent, soakage the raw flour then do the percolation, collect the percolate then retrieve the alcohol, condense to get the fluidextract; take atractylodes rhizome and crush it into raw flour, put the raw flour into the water 2-8 times of it for 2-8 hours, then distill the mixture to get the volatile oil from the vapor, keep the gruffs and the solution alone; dissolve the volatile oil into 60-90% alcohol then on the method of colloid mill grind the mixture to package the volatile oil. The ratio of volatile oil solution to β-dextrin is 1:4-10 and the ratio of β-dextrin and water is 1:1-3. After the grind, the mash is made, dehydrate the mash then crush it into powder. The powder is the volatile oil's clathrate; Cook the wolfberry fruit and indian bread in the water for 1-3 times and every time is 1-3 hours, the amount of the water is 6-10 times weight of the two herbs. Combine all the cooked water together then concentrate it, do the centrifugation to get the centrifugate; put the atractylodes rhizome's gruffs, solution and the rest of the herbs together, cook the mixture in the water for 1-3 times, each time is 1-2 hours and the water is 6-10 times weight of the mixture. Mingle all the cooked water and filtrate it. Concentrate the filtrated water then cool it down to the room temperature. Add alcohol to this solution until the alcohol's concentration up to 50-70%, standing the mixture to get the supernate solution. Retrieve the alcohol from the supernate solution and put the rest of it with the fluid extract (rhubarb, fleece-flower root) and the centrifuged extract (wolfberry fruit and fl), concentrate the mixture and dehydrate it in a low pressure, then crush the dry extract into fine powder. Mingle the fine powder, the volatile oil clathrate and the adjuvant together. The mixture can be made into many dosage forms needed in the clinic.


[0012] The fleece-flower root mentioned above can be exchanged by the prepared fleece-flower root. The atractylodes rhizome mentioned above can be exchanged by prepared atractylodes rhizome and the rhubarb can be exchanged by prepared rhubarb.


[0013] The identification method for quality control of the invented medicine (take the tablet for example) is that: crush 5 tablets into fine powder then dissolve the powder in the 30 ml chloroform and extract in the circumfluence for 1 hour. Filtrate the mixture. Distil the residue to dryness then dissolve it in 40 ml alcohol. Extract the solution in circumfluence for 1 hour, filtrate the solution and distil the filtrate to dryness. The residue dissolved to 1 ml in the alcohol is served as the solution for test. 1 g fleece-flower root is made into the control solution on the same way. Test the solutions by the thin layer chromatography. Imbibe 5 μl of the two kinds solutions and drop the solutions on the same silica gel G thin layer separately. Use aceticether-methanol-water (100:17:13) mixture as the developing agent and expand the two points at the stretch of 10 cm. Take the thin layer out and dry it in the air. Check the dehydrated lay under the 365 nm ultraviolet light and there should be the same fluorescent spot in the test chromatogram at same place of the control chromatogram; Take 4 piece of tablets and crush them into fine powder, then add 30 ml alcohol to the powder and distill the mixture in the circumfluence for 30 minutes. Filtrate the mixture to get the filtrated liquid and add 2 ml muriatic acid. After 1 hour abstraction in the circumfluence, concentrate the solution to 2 ml, then add 5 ml water and extract the new solution in 15 ml chloroform for 2 times. Distill the 30 ml chloroform to dry then get the dried extract. Add chloroform to solute the extract to 2 ml then get the test solution. Dissolve oleanolic acid into the methanol at the concentration of 1 mg/ml to get the control solution. According to the method of thin layer chromatography, imbibe the two solutions each 5 μl then drop them to the same silica gel G thin layer separately. Using chloroform-acetone (1:1) as the developing agent, expand the two points then take out the thin layer to dry in the air. Spray the 10% vitriolic-acid-alcohol solution to the thin layer, and then blow the thin layer with the hot air until the two points become clear. There should be the same color spot in the test solution's chromatogram at the same place of the control chromatogram; Dissolve 5 tablets in 30 ml methanol and extract in the circumfluent for 30 minutes. Filtrate the mixture and distill the filtrated liquid to dry. Collect the residue then dissolve it in 15 ml water. Extract the solution in the saturated n-butyl alcohol for 2 times on the condition of jerking. Each time the n-butyl alcohol is 15 ml. Mingle the two pieces of extracted liquid then distill the mixed liquid to dry. Dissolve the residue got in 1 ml to get the test solution. Prepare the paeoniflorin-mechanol solution at the concentration of 1 mg/ml as the control solution. According to the method of thin layer chromatography, imbibe the two solutions each 5 μl then drop them to the same silica gel G thin layer separately. Using chloroform-ethylacetate-methanol-methanoic acid (40:5:10:0.2) as the developing agent, expand the two points then take out the thin layer to dry in the air. Spray the 10% vitriolic-acid-alcohol solution to the thin layer, and then blow the thin layer with the hot air until the two points become clear. There should be the same color spot in the test solution's chromatogram at the same place of the control chromatogram.


[0014] The content test method for quality control of the invented medicine is that: remove 10 tablets' clothing sheet, then weight them with accuracy. Crush these tablets to fine powder and weight out 1 g of the powder accurately. Put the powder into a 250 ml roundbottomed flask, then add 25 ml 2.5 mol/L sulfuric acid and 40 ml chloroform. After 4 hours of circumfluence, separate the chloroform flayer. Add 40 ml chloroform to the rest solution and extract in the condition of circumfluence and waterbath for another 3 hours. Separate the chloroform layer and extract the rest solution with 10 ml chloroform for 3 times. Combinate all the chloroform then wash it to neutrality. Retrieve the chloroform and dissolve the residue into the methanol. Adjust this solution to 5 ml accurately to serve as the test solution. Prepare the emodin-methanol solution at the concentration of 0.1 mg/ml as the control solution. According to the method of thin layer chromatography (China pharmacopoeia version 1995 the No. 1 part supplement VIB), imbibe the test solutions 5 μl, the control solution 2 μl and 8 μl, then drop them to the same silica gel G thin layer separately. Using benzene-ethyl acetate-methanol-methanoic acid (3:1:0.2:0.05:0.5) as the developing agent, expand the 3 points at the stretch of 10 cm, then take out the thin layer to dry in the air. According to scan method of the thin layer chromatography (China pharmacopoeia version 1995 the No. 1 part supplement VIB), scan the chromatography at the wavelength: λS=435 nm, λR=600 nm. Measure and calculate the absorbance quantity of the test solution, then contrast it with the control solution and calculate to get the content of the test solution.


[0015] Each tablet must own no less than 0.07 mg emodin. Oral administration, 4 pieces of tablets one time, 3 times a day.

The total number of the patients was 68; the treatment group had 52 patients while the control group had 16 patients.


[0021] There was no significant difference about the gender structure between the two groups (P>0.1). (see table 1)


[0022] There was significant difference about the age structure between the two groups (P>0.01). There were more old patients in the treatment group. (see table 2)


[0023] There was no significant difference about the course of the disease between the two groups (P>0.1). (see table 1)


[0024] There was no significant difference about the symptom score between the two groups (P>0.01). (see table 1)


[0025] There was significant difference about the disease stage between the two groups (P<0.01). The constituent ratio of the patients who were on the stage of azotemia or uremia is higher in the treatment group; than that in the control group. (see table 3)


[0026] 1.2 The Diagnostic Criteria


[0027] 1.2.1 The Diagnostic Criteria of the Modern Medicine:


[0028] (1) The patient had the history of chronic renal disease.


[0029] (2) There were CRF related clinical symptom and metabolic disorder.


[0030] (3) The concentration of the serum creatinine (Scr) was beyond 133 μmol/L. The CRF can be divided into 3 stages, the criteria is as following.


[0031] Stage 1 (the compensatory phase of the renal incompetence): the GFR 50-80 ml/minute; Scr 133-177 μmol/L.


[0032] Stage 2 (the decompensatory phase of the renal incompetence): the GFR 20-50 ml/minute; Scr 178-442 μmol/L.


[0033] Stage 3 (the renal failure phase): the GFR 10-20 ml/minute; Scr 443-707 μmol/L.


[0034] Stage 4 (the uremia phase): the GFR <10 ml/minute; Scr 707 μmol/L.

The difference was remarkable (P<0.01)


[0038] 1.2.2 The Criteria to Differentiate the Syndromes in TCM.


[0039] The criteria referred to the symptom—“deficiency of both qi and yin with internal accumulation of damp turbidity” in the “TCM criteria for the differentiation of syndromes in CRF”, which was approved in the Chinese national TCM academy's third nephropathy academic conference of TCM, and “the clinical research criteria of the new Chinese drug to treat the uremia”.


[0040] The Symptom of “the Spleen and Kidney's Deficiency of Both qi and yin”:


[0041] The patient's face seems short of luster; he feels short of energy and easy to be tired; it is lassitude at the waist and knee; the skin is dry; he feels dry in the mouth and lip, but doesn't want drink much water; he may feel hot in the palm of the hands and the underside of the foot; the stool may be dry or watery; the urine's quantity reduces and its color turns yellow, while somebody has great deal of tint color urine especially at night; the patient's tongue is pale and with indented margin; the pulse is deep and thready.


[0042] The Symptom of “the Internal Accumulation of Damp Turbidity”:


[0043] The patient has the symptom as following: nausea and vomit, anorexia and abdominal distention, heaviness sensation in the limbs and sleepy, thick and greasy fur.


[0044] 1.3 The Selection Criteria


[0045] 1.3.1 The patient has been diagnosed as the CRF according to the criteria.

[0051] 1.4.2 The patient is in the period of pregnancy or lactation.


[0052] 1.4.3 The patient is suffering from other serious diseases such as the angiocardiopathy, the hepatopathy and the hematopathy etc.


[0053] 1.4.4 The patient can't administrate on the research's require so that the curative effect can't be estimated. Or the patient doesn't have the integrated material so that the security and the curative effect can't be estimated.


[0054] 1.5 The Elimination Criteria


[0055] 1.5.1 The patient has to stop the treatment because of the unexpected reasons but the untoward reactions.


[0056] 1.5.2 The patient has to stop the treatment because of the untoward reactions. This kind of cases must be calculated separately and be studied to look for the reasons.


[0057] 1.6 The Research Method


[0058] 1.6.1 Grouping, Administration and the Course of the Treatment


[0059] There are 52 patients in the treatment group. They were treated by the invented medicine made from prepared fleece-flower root, dodder pseudostellaria root, Achyranthes root, atractylodes rhizome, wolfberry fruit, etc (supplied by Lianyun'gang kangyuan Pharmaceutical Co Ltd. Batch number 9808127) on the administration of 4 pieces of tablet one time, 3 times a day, per os. 2 months was one course of treating. There were 16 patients in the control group and the matching medicine was “shenkangning pian” which was made from astragalus root, aconite root, qinseng, indian bread, alisma rhizome, chinese yam, leonurus heterophyllus etc. The effect of “shenkangning pian” is “nourishing qi and warming the kidney; activating the blood and excreting the dampness”. It can be used to treat the chronic nephritis, chronic renal incompetence. (produced by Hangzhou zhengda qingchunbao Pharmaceutical Co Ltd. The Ministry of Health medicine criteria 1992 WS-B-1153-92) The administration was 5 pieces of tablet one time and 3 times a day, per os. 2 month was one course of treating.


[0060] The two kinds of medicines both have the effect of supporting healthy energy and eliminating evils. Because their effects and indications are similar, the two medicines are comparable.


[0061] 1.6.2 The Main Indexes


[0062] (1) Observe the symptoms of “deficiency of both qi and yin with internal accumulation of damp turbidity” and evaluate 6,4,2,0 according to the severity: severeness, moderate, gentleness and none. Record the symptom score once a week.

[0094] 2.3 The Observation of the Security.


[0095] None of the patients had abnormal symptom or physical sign in the two groups, and the security indexes such as ECG, the hepatic function examination and the X-ray check didn't express any abnormal sign.


[0096] 3. Discussion and the Clinical Research Result


[0097] The invented medicine had a total effective ratio of 78.8%, remarkably effective ratio 26.9% in treating the CRF. While the control medicine's total effective ratio was 25%, remarkably effective ratio was 6.25%. Both the total effective ratio and the remarkably effective ratio were higher than that of the control group, and the difference was significant by the statistired peony root analysis (P<0.01).


[0098] This invented medicine has a gentle function. Its characters are that: nourishing qi but not stagnating qi; nourish kidney but not stagnating; warming the yang but not causing dry; eliminating the evil but not hurting the vital qi; even reinforcing and reducing. So that this invented medicine can postpone the course of the CRF by the even treating. At the same time, because there are no untoward reactions such as: bellyache, diarrhea and inappetence etc, the invented medicine can be admitted for a long period safely. As mentioned before, the remarkably effective ratio of this medicine at the second month is 26.9%. the total effective ratio is 78.8% and the stable ratio is 5.7%, it is worth a further research.



EXPERIMENT EXAMPLE 2


(1) The Experimental Research of the Invented Medicine's Effect on the CRF Rat Caused by Adenine Intake

[0099] 1. The Model Building


[0100] The male SD rats were fed 1 week for the adaptability. Then the rats were fed 2% adenine by gastrogavage on the dose of 250 mg/kg/d once a day. Chose 10 rats of the same batch as the control group which were fed distilled water by gastrogavage on the dose of 250 mg/kg/d once a day. After 4 weeks of feeding, the rats fed adenine were weighted and collected blood from the orbital cavity. The BUN and Scr were measured to select the rats whose BUN were between 20.00-32.00 mmol and Cr were between 86.00˜136.00 μmol/L. Based on the BUN and Scr level the total 60 rats selected were divided into 5 groups at random and receive the treatment.


[0101] 2. The Group and the Dosage


[0102] (1) The normal control group: 10 SD male rats were fed distilled water on 10 ml/kg once a day by gastrogavage.


[0103] (2) The model control group: 12 SD male rats were fed distilled water on 20 ml/kg once a day by gastrogavage.


[0104] (3) The treatment group with the invented medicine on the high dosage (H group for short): 12 SD male rats were fed the invented medicine on the dosage of 43.3 g/kg/d (42 times of the human's dosage) by gastrogavage twice a day. The concentration of the medicine suspending liquid was 10.8 g/ml.


[0105] (4) The treatment group with the invented medicine on the middle dosage (M group for short): 12 SD male rats were fed the invented medicine on the dosage of 21.65 g/kg/d (21 times of the human's dosage) by gastrogavage once a day. The concentration of the medicine suspending liquid was 10.8g/ml.


[0106] (5) The treatment group with the invented medicine on the low dosage (L group for short): 12 SD male rats were fed the invented medicine on the dosage of 10.83 g/kg/d (10.5 times of the human's dosage) once a day by gastrogavage. The concentration of the medicine suspending liquid was 5.4 g/ml.


[0107] (6) The positive medicine control group (shenkangning group for short). 12 SD male rats were fed “shenkangning” on the dosage of 10.38 g/kg/d (22.4 times of the human's dosage) by gastrogavage once a day. The concentration of the medicine suspending liquid was 5.19 g/ml.


[0108] The dosages of the invented medicine used in the 3 groups were on the rate of 1:2:4.


[0109] 3. The Course of the Treatment


[0110] The medicine was administrated for 6 weeks.


[0111] 4. The Indexes


[0112] (1) The body weights were measured every week before and after the treating.


[0113] (2) The bloods were collected from the orbital cavity before the treating, 3 weeks and 6 weeks after the treating. The BUN, SCr, TP, ALB and Hb etc were measured


[0114] (3) The rats were killed when the treatment was over. The kidneys were observed with the eye and measured of the weight. The kidney index (the weight of one kidney mg/body weight g)was calculated;


[0115] (4) 4 rats were selected every group from the lightest to the heaviest to get the nephridial tissue. The tissues from the kidneys were dyed on the methods of HE, PAS and Masson then observed under the optical microscope.


[0116] (5) 2 pieces of sample kidneys were selected every group to make the ultrathin section. The sections were observed under the electronic microscope.


[0117] The histopathology inspection was undertaken by the PLA nephropathy research institute of Nanjing military district chief hospital.


[0118] (II) The Experimental Research of the Invented Medicine's Effect on the CRF Rat Caused by ⅚ Nephrectomy.


[0119] 1. The model building


[0120] 80 SD male rats were fed and observed for 1 week. 70 rats were selected to receive the ⅚ nephrectomy. The operation was divided into 2 steps. After anesthetized with 2% pentobarbital, the rats were disinfected of the skin. Expose the left kidney from the flank, and then strip the renal anadesma. Exsect the two poles of the left kidney quickly. The exsected part must reach the ⅔ of the left kidney. Remove the right kidney one week after the first operation. Protect the adrenals carefully and put gelfoam over the incisions. Perform the hemostasis by compression after the operation. All the operation was done by one person. Strengthen the idea of the aseptic manipulation. All the rats received the operation were injected penicillin for 4 days. The other 10 rats were set as the control group. 4 weeks after the last operation, all the rats were weighted and collected blood from the orbital cavity. After the BUN and Cr were measured, all the rats were divided into 5 groups on the level of the BUN and Cr.


[0121] 2. The group and the dosage: same to (1) 2


[0122] 3. The course of the treatment: 4 weeks after the last operation, the rats which were made to model successfully received the treatment for 6 weeks.


[0123] 4. The indexes: same to (1) 4.


[0124] The histopathology inspection was undertaken by the pathology laboratory of Nanjing Medical University.

[0128] After fed of adenine, the rats' body weight increased slowly; some rats' body weight even decreased. The foodentake of the rats decreased and the rats' fur appeared less of luster. The rats were out of spirits. Their ears and tails looked pale. The symptoms were found in both the treatment group and the control group but in the treatment group the symptoms were less serious. The growth of the treatment group was faster than that of the model control group, especially in the H group. The growth of the body weight in the H group and the M group was remarkably higher than that of the model control group (P<0.01; P<0.05). The growth in the shenkangning group was slower than that of the group treated with the invented group.


[0129] During the experiment, 4 rats died in the shengkangning group, 4 rats died in the model control group, and 2 rats died in the M group. One of the rats in the M group died for the incidence during the gastrogavage, the other rats died were not found with any abnormal organs except the large white kidney.

[0134] Table 14 and table 15 shows that according to the increasing of the BUN, Scr, the model rats had reached the stage of CRF, after being fed adenine for 4 weeks. Treated for 6 weeks, the BUN and Scr of the treatment group were lower than that of the model group and shenkangning group. The difference was significant (P<0.01). The result indicates that this invented medicine can improve the renal function of the CRF rat.

The result indicates the invented medicine can improve the Rb of the CRF rat.


[0137] 5. The Pathology Change


[0138] (1) The General Pathology Change


[0139] a. The Gross Change of the Kidney


[0140] The kidney of the model group looks greenish yellow, cloudy swelling.


[0141] The surface is smooth and granular. The section looks greenish yellow too.


[0142] There are many nonuniform microvoids in the section. The cortex is a little thick and the color is pale. The border of the cortex and the medulla is not clear. The kidneys of the treatment group are smaller than the model group. The kidney color of the treatment group is tawny.


[0143] b. The Microscopical Change of the Kidney Under the Optical Microscope


[0144] The Normal Control Group:


[0145] The renal glomerule capillary loops are open. There are no proliferation of the mesangial cell and matrix. No necrosis and fibrosis was found in the renal tubules and the renal mesenchyme. The interstitial cells distributes uniformly. The renal glomerule, tubules and the interstitial cells seem normal.


[0146] The Model Control Group:


[0147] The renal glomerule capillary loops are not fully open. The renal capsules are thicker than usual. The fibrosis out of the renal capsule is obvious. Serious degeneration can be found among the renal tubules and mesenchyme. Most of the epithelial cells are flat. Little of the renal tubules are regenerating. Some of the tubules are lack of the membrane and dilate as bursiform. There are cellular cast in the enlarged tubules and some places have calcified. The mesenchyme has broadened with seriously fibrosis. The cells infiltrate in the mesenchyme diffusely. The walls of the arteries are thicker than usual.


[0148] H Group:


[0149] The degeneration among the tubules is lighter than the control group. There are a little of proteic casts and vacuolar degeneration of the tubules at the border of the cortex-medulla. The interstitial fibrosis and the cellular infiltration are light. Few of foam cells disperse. There is no significant change of the renal glomerulus. In short, the pathological change is light than the model control group and the shengkangning group.


[0150] M Group:


[0151] The renal glomerule's capillary loops open well. There is no proliferation of the renal mesentery. Very few epithelial cells on the parietal layer have proliferated. The pathological change in the renal tubules and matrix is light. Though there are interstitial fibrosis and cellular filtration, the pathological change is remarkable lighter than the model control group and the shengkangning group.


[0152] L Group:


[0153] There is segmental proliferation of the renal mesentery in few of the renal glomenrules. Some of the glomerular capsules have thickened with the fibrosis out of the capsule. The epithelial cells of the renal tubule are flat. Some of the tubules are lack of the epithelial cells. Some of the tubules are filled with cellular cast. The matrix has broadened with the fibrosis and light cellular filtration. The pathological change is remarkably lighter than the control group and the shengkangning group.


[0154] Shengkangning Group:


[0155] There is segmental proliferation of the renal mesentery in the renal glomenrules. Many renal glomenrular capsules have thickened with remarkable fibrosis out of the capsules. There is middle to heavy level interstitial fibrosis and there are many cells filtrating in the tissue. The matrix has broadened. The pathological change of the renal tubules and the matrix is serious. The epithelial cells of the renal tubule are flat. Few of the renal tubules are filled with cellular cast. The wall of the artery has thickened.


[0156] (2) The Change of the Kidney's Ultrastructure


[0157] Normal Control Group:


[0158] The capillary vessel of glomerule is open, there is a few of red blood cells in the blood vessel and the vessel wall is lining with fenestra type endothelial cell, without swelling and hyperplasia. The basement membrane is even and without deposition of the compact complex. The thickness of the basement membrane is 110-60 nm (normal). The epithelial cells are also without swelling and vacuolar degeneration, whose foot processes are sharp. The mesentery is without enlargement. No cell hyperplasia, groundsubstance multiply or compact complex deposition is found. The epithelial cells of the renal tubule are of no obvious change and belong to the normal nephridial tissue.


[0159] Model Control Group:


[0160] The epithelial cells of the renal tubule are swelling and there are lots of lysosomes in the cytoplasm. There are also many crystal like small bodies in the tubules and plenty of crystals in the epithelial cells and mesenchyme. The mesenchyme was infiltrated by lymphocytes. The fibrous cells and collagen fibril have proliferated obviously. Few basementmembrane of the renal tubule is thinner than normal or even ruptured. The lumens of some capillary vessel of glomerule are narrow or even blocked. The related epithelial cells have proliferated and the basementmembrane has shrunk, mesentery cells and groundsubstance are of no obviously hyperplasia.


[0161] The H Group:


[0162] There are plenty of lysosomes and unequal vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the renal tubule epithelial cells. A little few of the epithelial cells are with cytoplasm crystals. Microvilli are swelling and the mesenchyme was infiltrated with lymphocytes. The mesenchyme crystals and fibrous cell hyperplasia are obviously lighter than that of the model control group. The capillary vessels of glomerule are open; there is no obviously hyperplasia of the epithelial cells, the endothelial cells and the basementmembrane. The mesentery cells and the groundsubstance are not multiplied.


[0163] The M Group:


[0164] A few renal tubule epithelial cells is swelling. Some local microvilli are swelling and drop off. The caryon heterochromatin increases and tends to pycnosis. mesenchyme is infiltrated by lymphocyte and with a few mesenchyme crystal. The capillary vessel of glomerule is open. There is no obviously hyperplasia with epithelial cells. The basementmembrane is no obviously thickening and without compact complex deposition. The epithelial cells are swelling and with hyperplasia in some region. The mesentery is without enlargement, and the mesentery cells and groundsubstance are no obviously hyperplasia.


[0165] The L Group:


[0166] There are medium quantity of lysosomes in the renal tubule epithelial cells. Few caryons of the renal tubule epithelial cell are abnormality. The caryon heterochromatins are obviously multiplied and appear to be like massive, tending to pycnosis. There are unequal vacuoles appearing in the cytoplasm mesenchyme was infiltrated by a few lymphocyte. The capillary vessel of glomerule is open. Some of the epithelial cells are swelling, the basementmembrane is not obviously thickening and without compact complex deposition, epithelial cells are swelling and with hyperplasia in some regions, the feet process there fuse. The mesentery is without enlargement. The mesentery cells and groundsubstance are no obviously proliferation.


[0167] Shenkangning Group:


[0168] The lysosomes in the renal tubule epithelial cells are obviously increased. Some epithelial cells are with crystal deposition and few of them were degrading, necrosis or falling off. The basementmembrane shrinks and many unequal vacuoles can be seen. The mesenchyme was infiltrated by lymphocyte and crystal deposition. The capillary vessel of glomerule is open and few of epithelial cells of capillary vessel have proliferated. The basementmembrane is not obviously thickening and without compact complex deposition. The mesenteric and groundsubstance have no obviously hyperplasia.


[0169] From the results of optical and electronical microscope we know that there is degeneration, necrosis and fiberosis of mesenchyme in the renal tubule after feeding with adenine, while the pathologic change of the glomerule is relatively gently. The results under both optical and electronical microscope show that the pathologic change of the treatment group with the invented medicine was lighter than that of the model control group and the shenkangning group. It proved the invented medicine have the better function to inhibit the dilatation of the renal tubules and the fibrosis of mesenchyme caused by adenine, and improve the recovery of the epithelial cells in the renal tubule and the hyperplasia of mitochondria.

[0172] When the rat was resected ⅚ of the kidney, it gradually appeared the reduce of foodentake. The rat's fur was dry and lack of luster. Its ears and tail looked pale. The syndromes aggravated along the time and the rise of the weight is obviously slower than the normal group. It had been proved that, 4 weeks after the second resection, the CRF rat model was built. After fed with the invented medicine, the rise of weight in the H group is more than the model control group and the positive medicine control group (P<0.05). Put the rat to death after 6 weeks therapy, the remnant kidney was obviously larger than that before the therapy. The kidney indexes of the H group and M group were slightly less than the model control group and the normal control group. But there was no significant difference.


[0173] During the experiment, the model control group, M group and Shenkangning group had 2 rats died each, while H group and L group had 1 rat death each. From the anatomy of all the dead rats, it showed that all the kidneys were obviously swelling, stiff, and appeared brown, without any abnormity of the other organs.

[0180] 5. Observation of Pathomorphology


[0181] (1) General Pathologic Change


[0182] a. The General Change of Kidney


[0183] The shape of the kidney of model groups was irregularity, swelling, gray and yellow colored, stiff, the renal cortex-medulla border on the crosssection was not clear. The swelling levels of the kidneys in all the treatment groups were lighter than that of the control groups more or less. The color in the treatment groups were deepening to tawny.


[0184] b. The Change of the Glomerule


[0185] The pathological changes of the glomerule under, the optical microscope were different, such as: the compensating dilatation of the glomerule, the different degrees hyperplasia of the mesentery cells and the groundsubstance, the obstruction of the lumen of capillary vessel, the fusion of the renal capsule and polymorphic glomerule with vitreous degeneration. According to the histology classification criteria of the illed glomerule provided by Purkerson.et, account the percentage of each grade glomerule of the different group.

[0186] By comparing the pathological changes of glomerule in each group, it was found that the dilatation of glomerule of the model groups was obviously higher than the normal control group (P<0.01), while the dilatation of glomerule in H group and M group was obviously less than the model control group and the shenkangning group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The proportion of above III grade pathological changes of glomerule in model control group is higher than that of the H group and M group, the majority of pathologic change grade in the H group and M group is 0, I and II grade. This condition is remarkably different to the other groups (P<0.05). The pathological change of glomerule of XV grade was on a low percent in all the model groups. Each model group had different degree of increase with the groundsubstance and cells of glomerule's mesentery. Some of the glomerule appeared segmental sclerosis, capsule adhesion or the full glomerule sclerosis. Some capillary vessel of sclerous glomerule with collapse, stenosis or obstruction, the above pathological changes was slightly in the H group and M group, comparing with the other groups. This showed that the invented medicine could relieve the hypertrophy and sclerosis of the kidney.


[0187] C. The Changes of Renal Tubules and Mesenchyme


[0188] The renal tubules of each model group had dilatation, the epithelial cells of renal tubular were of atrophia, degeneration, necroses or falling off. There were different degrees of fiberosis and inflammation cell infiltration in the renal mesenchyme. There was different degree relief of the above pathological changes in the treatment groups, the result is in TABLE 22.23

[0190] The fiberosis with the renal mesenchyme of each model group was obviously, there was remarkable difference comparing with the normal control groups (P<0.01); the pathological chances of each group focused in I, II grade, most of the pathological changes of the H group and the M group was I grade. There was predominance difference comparing with the other model control groups (P<0.05)


[0191] (2) The Change of the Kidney's Ultrastructure


[0192] Normal Control Group:


[0193] The capillary vessel of glomerule is open, there is a few of red blood cells in the blood vessel and the vessel wall is lining with fenestra type endothelial cell, without swelling and hyperplasia. The basement membrane is even and without deposition of the compact complex. The thickness of the basement membrane is 110-60 nm (normal). The epithelial cells are also without swelling and vacuolar degeneration, whose foot processes are sharp. The mesentery is without enlargement. No cell hyperplasia, groundsubstance multiply or compact complex deposition is found. The epithelial cells of the renal tubule are of no obvious change and belong to the normal nephridial tissue.


[0194] Model Control Group:


[0195] The lumen of some capillary vessel of glomerule was complete or incomplete obliteration because of the hyperplasia and swelling of endothelial cells. The endothelial cells in the lumen of some capillary vessel of glomerule were swelling and appeared to microvillus shape, the basementmembrane was not obviously thickening and without compact complex deposition. The pathological changes of epithelial cells were obviously, appeared as the vacuolization and swelling, a wide range of feet process were confluens. The lysosomes of cytoplasm were increased. The mesentery had enlarged; mesentery cells and groundsubstance were of obviously hyperplasia and infiltration by foam cells that could phagocytize lipid in some regions. The necrosis of renal tubular was invisible, but the epithelial cell of renal tubular was of swelling, vacuolization. The lysosomes were obviously increased.


[0196] The H Group:


[0197] The capillary vessel of glomerule was open; few endothelial cells were of hyperplasia and swelling. The lumen appeared as stenosis. The basementmembrane was no obviously thickening and without compact complex deposition. Few epithelial cells were of swelling and appeared as vacuolization and slightly microvillus. The mesentery was without enlargement. The mesentery cells and groundsubstance were of no obvious hyperplasia and compact complex deposition. The necrosis of endothelial cell was invisible. The pathological changes of glomerule, renal tubular and mesenchyme in this group was obviously slighter comparing with the model control and the shenkangning group.


[0198] The M Group:


[0199] Some of the capillary vessel of glomerule was open. Few lumens of capillary vessels were of narrowing or incomplete obliteration because of the hyperplasia and swelling of the endothelial cells. Few endothelial cells were with vacuolization, the basementmembrane was of no obviously thickening and without compact complex deposition. The epithelial cells were of vacuolization and swelling. A wide range of feet process fused. The lysosomes in the cytoplasm increased. The Mesentery enlarged and groundsubstance multiplied; Few of mesentery cells were of hyperplasia. The pathological changes of renal tubules were slight. The pathological changes of the M group were slight comparing with the model control and the shenkangning group.


[0200] The L Group:


[0201] The capillary vessels of glomerule were open. Few endothelial cells were of swelling and appeared as vacuolization and microvillus. Most endothelial cells of the capillary vessels were with no obviously change. The basementmembrane was no obviously thickening and without compact complex deposition. Most epithelial cells were of no obviously changes, few of which appeared as swelling, slightly microvillus and a limited range of foot process fusion. Most mesentery with no obviously changes, a few mesentery cells with hyperplasia, there was a few lysosome in the epithelial cells of renal tubules, which was slight comparing with the model control group.


[0202] Shenkangning Group:


[0203] The capillary vessels of glomerule were open. Few lumens of capillary vessel were narrowing because of the swelling of endothelial cells, the neutrophil leucocytes and lymphocytes were common in the lumen of the capillary vessels, the capillary vessels and the basementmembrane were of no obviously thickening and without compact complex deposition. The epithelial cells appeared of swelling, the feet process fused and turned into microvillus like. The lysosomes of cytoplasm increased. Few mesenteries enlarged and the groundsubstance obviously multiplied. The pathological changes of renal tubules were slight and no necrosis was visible.


[0204] The data above proved that the invented medicine especially at the high dose could improve the ultrastructure of the kidney obviously.


[0205] Result:


[0206] In this experiment the CRF rats caused by adenine intake were treated by feeding the invented medicine on high dose, middle dose and low dose for 6 weeks. It proved that the invented medicine could decrease the BUN, Scr obviously. The curative effect was better than the normal control group and the positive medicine control group (shenkangning group) (P<0.01 and P<0.05). What's more, the invented medicine could improve the Hb and the plasma protein content. This invented medicine had a obvious effect to inhibit the dilation of the renal tubules and the interstitial fibrosis, benefit the renal tubules epithelial cells' repairing and the mitochondrion's multiplying. Building the CRF model by ⅚ nephrectomy, the Scr and BUN 4 weeks after the second operation were higher than that of the normal group (P<0.05). The plasma protein and the Hb were lower than the normal group (P<0.05). The general pathological change was the rest kidney enlarging; The renal glomerulus enlarged for compensation and The mesenteries proliferation on the light to middle level were the main changes under the optical microscope. The impairment, the necrosis and the block of the renal tubule could be found. There also was renal interstitial fibrosis; Under the electronic microscope the pathologic changes were that: the narrowing of the renal glomerulus capillary vessels, the swelling and the microvillus-like changing of the endothelial cells, the proliferation of the endothelial cells, the fusion of the feet process, the enlargement of the mesenteries, multiplying of the mesenteries' matrix and the impairment of the renal tubule. All the change belongs to the pathological change of the renal glomerulus cirrhosis.


[0207] The pathologic change proved that the animal model was fit for the CRF behavior. After feeding the CRF rats with the invented medicine for 6 weeks on the high dose and the middle dose, the therapy decreased the BUN and Scr remarkably. The effect was better than the model control group and the shenkangning group, BUN: there was remarkable difference between the H group, M groups and the model control group, shenkangning group. Scr: there was remarkable difference between the H group and the model control group and shenkangning group. This medicine could improve the Hb (P<0.05). The pathologic observe indicated that the invented medicine could inhibit the over hypertrophy of the renal glomerulus, the proliferation of the mesenteries cells, mesenteries matrix, the cirrhosis of the renal glomerulus, and the interstitial fibrosis of the renal tissue.


[0208] In short, by the pharmacodynamics experiment on the two types of CRF rats, the result indicated that the invented medicine could lower the Scr, BUN, improve the Hb, TP. According the indexes, M group had the best synthetic curative effect and the H group was better than the L group. The mechanism was related to the medicine's functions on relieving the impairment on renal glomerulus, inhibiting the cirrhosis of the renal glomerulus, repairing and improve the renal interstitial impairment.

The detection method for the tablet made from the medicine combination according to Right demand 1, the character is the method: Remove 10 tablets' clothing sheet, then weight them with accuracy. Crush these tablets to fine powder and weight out 1 g of the powder accurately. Put the powder into a 250 ml roundbottomed flask, then add 25 ml 2.5 mol/L sulfuric acid and 40 ml chloroform. After 4 hours of circumfluence, separate the chloroform flayer. Add 40 ml chloroform to the rest solution and extract in the condition of circumfluence and waterbath for another 3 hours. Separate the chloroform layer and extract the rest solution with 10 ml chloroform for 3 times. Combinate all the chloroform then wash it to neutrality. Retrieve the chloroform and dissolve the residue into the methanol. Adjust this solution to 5 ml accurately to serve as the test solution. Prepare the emodin-methanol solution at the concentration of 0.1 mg/ml as the control solution. According to the method of thin layer chromatography (China pharmacopoeia version 1995 the No. 1 part supplement VIB), imbibe the test solutions 5 μl, the control solution 2 μl and 8 μl, then drop them to the same silica gel G thin layer separately. Using benzene-ethyacetate-methanol-methanoic acid (3:1:0.2:0.05:0.5) as the developing agent, expand the 3 points at the stretch of 10 cm, then take out the thin layer to dry in the air. According to scan method of the thin layer chromatography (China pharmacopoeia version 1995 the No. 1 part supplement VIB), scan the chromatography at the wavelength: λS-435 nm, λR=600 nm. Measure and calculate the absorbance quantity of the test solution, then contrast it with the control solution and calculate to get the content of the test solution. Each tablet must own no less than 0.07 mg emodin.
  • 12. The identification method for the tablet made from the medicine combination according to Right demand 1, the character is the method: The identification method for quality control of the invented medicine (take the tablet for example) is that: crush 5 tablets into fine powder then dissolve the powder in the 30 ml chloroform and extract in the circumfluence for 1 hour. Filtrate the mixture. Distil the residue to dryness then dissolve it in 40 ml alcohol. Extract the solution in circumfluence for 1 hour, filtrate the solution and distil the filtrate to dryness. The residue dissolved to 1 ml in the alcohol is served as the solution for test. 1 g fleece-flower root is made into the control solution on the same way. Test the solutions by the thin layer chromatography. Imbibe 5 μl of the two kinds solutions and drop the solutions on the same silica gel G thin layer separately. Use aceticether-methanol-water (100:17:13) mixture as the developing agent and expand the two points at the stretch of 10 cm. Take the thin layer out and dry it in the air. Check the dehydrated lay under the 365 nm ultraviolet light and there should be the same fluorescent spot in the test chromatogram at same place of the control chromatogram; Take 4 piece of tablets and crush them into fine powder, then add 30 ml alcohol to the powder and distill the mixture in the circumfluence for 30 minutes. Filtrate the mixture to get the filtrated liquid and add 2 ml muriatic acid. After 1 hour abstraction in the circumfluence, concentrate the solution to 2 ml, then add 5 ml water and extract the new solution in 15 ml chloroform for 2 times. Distill the 30 ml chloroform to dry then get the dried extract. Add chloroform to solute the extract to 2 ml then get the test solution. Dissolve oleanolic acid into the methanol at the concentration of 1 mg/ml to get the control solution. According to the method of thin layer chromatography, imbibe the two solutions each 5 μl then drop them to the same silica gel G thin layer separately. Using chloroform-acetone (1:1) as the developing agent, expand the two points then take out the thin layer to dry in the air. Spray the 10% vitriolic-acid-alcohol solution to the thin layer, and then blow the thin layer with the hot air until the two points become clear. There should be the same color spot in the test solution's chromatogram at the same place of the control chromatogram; Dissolve 5 tablets in 30 ml methanol and extract in the circumfluent for 30 minutes. Filtrate the mixture and distill the filtrated liquid to dry. Collect the residue then dissolve it in 15 ml water. Extract the solution in the saturated n-butyl alcohol for 2 times on the condition of jerking. Each time the n-butyl alcohol is 15 ml. Mingle the two pieces of extracted liquid then distill the mixed liquid to dry. Dissolve the residue got in 1 ml to get the test solution. Prepare the paeoniflorin-mechanol solution at the concentration of 1 mg/ml as the control solution. According to the method of thin layer chromatography, imbibe the two solutions each 5 μl then drop them to the same silica gel G thin layer separately. Using chloroform-ethylacetate-methanol-methanoic acid (40:5:10:0.2) as the developing agent, expand the two points then take out the thin layer to dry in the air. Spray the 10% vitriolic-acid-alcohol solution to the thin layer, and then blow the thin layer with the hot air until the two points become clear. There should be the same color spot in the test solution's chromatogram at the same place of the control chromatogram.
