P. Li, Pan, G. P., Jia, M., Wang, Q. Q., Guo, Z. G., Zhao, F. R., Lei, G. L., Wan, G. R., and Wan, G. M., Effect of Xin Mai Jia on atherosclerosis in rats, vol. 14, pp. 6018-6027, 2015.

We investigated the therapeutic effect of Xin Mai Jia (XMJ) on atherosclerosis (AS) in rats. Rat models of AS were estab­lished by peritoneally injecting vitamin D, feeding a high-fat diet, and inducing balloon injuries in rats. The stomachs of the rats were irrigated continuously for 10 weeks with XMJ. Blood lipid- and hemorheology-related indices of blood samples were detected. Pathological changes in the right common carotid arterial tissues were also determined.

Comparative study between Ephedra sinica Stapf and Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis on ET-1 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α in rats with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

H. Q. Zhai, Hhang, J. R., Gao, M. C., Liu, Y., Zhang, S. F., Wang, X. H., Meng, F. Y., and Wang, Y. P., Comparative study between Ephedra sinica Stapf and Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis on ET-1 and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α in rats with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, vol. 13, pp. 3761-3771, 2014.

The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in the effects of Ephedra sinica Stapf and Fructus Schisandrae Chinensis on angiogenesis in the treatment of bleomycin-induced rat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The rat models were created using bleomycin. The animals were divided into six groups: model, control, Ephedra alone, Schisandrae alone, combination of Ephedra and Schisandrae, and hydrocortisone alone. The treatments were administered for 28 days.
