Technical Field
The invention relates to a new application of dendrobium, in particular to a new application of dendrobium in preparing products for preventing, treating and preventing and treating vascular calcification diseases, and belongs to the technical field of medicines and special medical foods.
Background
Vascular calcification is common in aging, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, valvular heart disease, chronic kidney disease and other people, and is caused by ectopic deposition of hydroxyapatite on the vascular wall; vascular calcification increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, atherosclerotic plaque rupture, and is an important risk factor for increasing morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease; therefore, vascular calcification is receiving increasing attention worldwide. Initially, researchers thought that vascular calcification was the result of a passive degenerative process, indicative of vascular aging; however, more and more research has shown that vascular calcification is an active process initiated and regulated by a variety of molecular signaling pathways, with a high degree of similarity to bone formation; the main theories for explaining the mechanism of the vascular calcification molecules at present are the osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells, the deletion of calcification inhibitors, abnormal calcium and phosphate homeostasis, oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, autophagy, matrix remodeling, miRNA regulation and the like.
However, the traditional medicine has poor effect in the treatment aspect of effectively preventing or reversing vascular calcification, the dendrobium is a plant in the dendrobium genus of orchidaceae, and more varieties of dendrobium officinale, dendrobium huoshanense, dendrobium nobile, dendrobium fimbriatum and the like are common in medicinal plants and are usually used as nourishing medicinal herbs and health foods, and the Chinese pharmacopoeia records that the main functional indications are as follows: benefiting stomach, promoting fluid production, nourishing yin and clearing heat; can be used for treating fever, body fluid consumption, xerostomia, polydipsia, stomach yin deficiency, anorexia, retching, asthenia heat after illness, hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency, bone steaming, fatigue, dim eyesight, flaccidity of bones and muscles, and herba Dendrobii is not used in product for preventing and treating vascular calcification.

In use, female L D L R-/-mice at 6-8 weeks of age were purchased from Nanjing university model animal institute at 20-25g, and data presented as mean + -SEM were generated from at least three independent experiments using Dunnett's multiple comparison test and analysis of variance, where P <0.05 is statistically significant.
Example 1 Dendrobium huoshanense inhibits vascular calcification in L D L R knockout mice
1, L D L R-/-preparation of mouse vascular calcification model
The method comprises the following steps of carrying out adaptive feeding on L D L R-/-mice with the age of about 6 weeks and the weight of 17 males, wherein the mice weigh about 22g and are randomly divided into 2 groups after 1 week, carrying out control group (Ctrl group), feeding 8 mice with high-fat food, carrying out dendrobium huoshanense treatment group (DH group), carrying out 9 mice, feeding all the mice with freely-fed drinking water after crushing fresh dendrobium huoshanense with the weight of 5g/kg mice per day and uniformly mixing the crushed fresh dendrobium huoshanense with the high-fat food according to Chinese pharmacopoeia (first part), feeding the mice with the fresh dendrobium huoshanense, feeding the mice with the water, carrying out euthanasia after 18 weeks, and carrying out related research on related tissues and organs such as aorta and the like.
2. Alizarin red S staining of aortic root
After trimming the aortic root, the aorta was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde general tissue fixative for 48h and then dehydrated in 30% sucrose solution for 24 h. The dehydrated tissue was embedded in OCT, and sectioned with a microtome at a thickness of 5 μm. The frozen section of the aortic root is dried at room temperature, soaked in PBS for 5min, stained with 1% alizarin red S staining solution for 30min, rinsed twice with acidic PBS (pH 4.1-4.3) to remove loose color, observed under a microscope for photographing, and the calcium deposition condition in the sample is statistically analyzed.
3. Experimental results;
the results show (figure 1) that the calcified area of the aortic root in Ctrl group is 1.34%, while the calcified area of the aortic root in DH group is 0.88%, which is reduced by about 34%, which shows that dendrobium huoshanense has very significant inhibition effect on the development of L D L R-/-mouse vascular calcification.
Example 2 Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo inhibits vascular calcification in L D L R knockout mice
1, L D L R-/-preparation of mouse vascular calcification model
L D L R-/-mice with the age of about 6 weeks, which weigh about 22g, are adaptively fed for 1 week and are randomly divided into 2 groups, a control group (Ctrl group) comprises 10 mice fed with high-fat food, and a dendrobium officinale treatment group (DO group) comprises 10 mice, according to the recommendation of Chinese pharmacopoeia (first division), the dosage of fresh dendrobium officinale products is 10 times larger, namely, fresh dendrobium officinale products with the weight of 5g/kg of the mice per day are crushed and uniformly mixed with high-fat food to feed the fresh dendrobium officinale, all the mice freely eat water, the mice are fed with the water, the mice are euthanized after 18 weeks, and relevant tissues and organs such as aorta and the like are taken for relevant research.
2. Alizarin red S staining of aortic root, same as example 1
3. Experimental results;
we stained aortic root sections of mice with alizarin red S staining solution. The results show (fig. 2) that the area of calcified root of aorta in Ctrl group is 1.21%, while the area of calcified root of aorta in DO group is 1.07%, and dendrobium officinale has significant effect in inhibiting the development of calcification in mice.
