(Ru-biaceae) is a medicinal herbwidely distributed in northeast Asian countries. In traditional Chinese medicine, it has the effectof 'clearing away heat and toxic material, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis'.It is a well known Chinese folk-medicine used for the treatment of appendicitis, sore throat, mumps,acne, sebo-rheic dermatitis and various kinds of tumors, such as tumors of digestive tract,carcinoma of liver. It was reported that the MeOH extract of H. diffusa demonstrated a significantantitumor activity and ursolic acid succeeded in being isolated from the MeOH extract as an activecomponent . Shan BN, et al suggested that the direct aqueous extract of H. diffusa hadimmuno-modulating activity and antitumor activity in vitro through stimulating the immune system tokill or engulf tumor cells. But regarding anti-tumor activity in vivo of water soluble extracts fromH. diffusa, no detail was reported. Therefore, we prepared water soluble extracts (H_1 and H_2)from H. diffusa and evaluated their anti-tumor property in vivo experiments as well as protectiveeffect on chemo-therapeutic damage.展开更多

In our study, we aim to examine the anti-tumor effect of alcoholic extract of AE in mice implanted with sarcoma S180 cells （SBT mice）. We also compared the immune system function and the life span of SBT mice with that of control mice. We found that AE displayed a significant inhibitory effect on solid tumor growth, as well as increased the life span. At the dose of 10 mg/kg body weight, both tumor weight and volume were decreased significantly. We also measured several immune fimction markers, inlcuding spleen index （SI）, thymus index （TI） and parameters of hematological. We observed no reduce in these markers, indicatine that AE could inhibit tumor ~rowth without affectino immune function in SBT ,nice.展开更多

The effect of the changes of some physiological and biochemical indices related with the virus-resistance in tobacco leaves on tobacco quality ware determined. The resuits showed that H. diffusae extract could remarkably increase the total phenol content in tobacco leaves ,strength the activity of phenylalanine ammonialyase （ PAL） , improve the membrane permeability and tobacco quality. Prevention treatment was better than therapy treatment. In conclusion, H. diffusae extract could induce plants to produce disease resistance and strength tha antiviral capability of tobacco against TMV.展开更多
