Histological Changes in Breast Tissue via the Expression of Her2, Cox-2 and Caspase 3 after the Administration of Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC and Moringa oleifera Leaves

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Breast tissue may experience structural alterations due to variables including infection, illness, inflammation, or exposure to deleterious compounds, with 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) being a prevalent carcinogen utilized in cancer research. <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> DC and <i>Moringa oleifera</i> leaves possess anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects. This study aimed to determine the expression of Her2, Cox-2 and Caspase 3 as markers of breast carcinoma after administration of <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> DC and <i>Moringa oleifera</i> leaves. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> This study used 36 rats with 6 groups, namely C0: Normal mice, C: Only DMBA injection, C⁺: DMBA-injected rats+Doxorubicin, P1: DMBA-injected rats+<i>Z. acanthopodium</i> fruit, P2: DMBA-injected rats+100 mg/kg b.wt., of <i>Moringa oleifera</i> leaves and DMBA-injected rats+50 mg/kg b.wt., of <i>Moringa oleifera</i> leaves and 50 mg/kg b.wt., of <i>Z. acanthopodium</i> fruit orally for 30 days then dissected and breast tissue was taken for immunohistochemistry procedures. The non-parametric data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests with a significance level of p<0.05. <b>Results:</b> The DMBA injection into the mammary tissue increases Her2 expression, infiltrates the surrounding tissue, including the stroma and forms a solid tumor mass with ambiguous boundaries. <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> and <i>Moringa oleifera</i> alone reduced damaged tissue, however, their combined action boosted breast tissue Her2 expression but did not lower Cox-2 or Caspase 3 scores. The expression of Cox-2 in group C differed significantly from P1 (p<0.05, p = 0.001). <b>Conclusion:</b> <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> and <i>Moringa oleifera</i> enhanced Caspase 3, which promotes apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Nevertheless, each plant individually diminished Her2 and Cox-2 expression more effectively than the combination.

Histological Alterations of Cervical Cancer Following Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC Therapy in Relation to E7, pRb, EGFR and p16 Expression

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in Indonesia, where traditional herbal treatments like <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> (andaliman) are culturally used. Investigating protein biomarkers such as E7, pRb, EGFR and p16 can help assess the efficacy of these treatments. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> There were 5 groups in this study: 2 control groups (C- and C+) and 3 treatment groups (each receiving one of three doses). Oral administration of andaliman was performed for 30 days in cancer model rats, after which the cervix was dissected, cervical tissue was taken and immunohistochemistry repair was performed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis test with a p<0.05. <b>Results:</b> As <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> DC dose rose, cervical tissue E7, EGFR and p16 expression decreased. However, greater doses of this plant increased cervical tissue pRb protein. Cervical cancer histology exhibited increased nuclear size, irregular cellular structure, atypical cell shape, higher nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio and various nuclear shape variants. This herb induced tissue to show well-organized non-hyperchromatic cells that resembled normal clusters. <b>Conclusion:</b> <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> DC improved cervical tissue and balanced cervical cancer biomarker proteins such E7, EGFR, pRB and p16.

Prospects of compounds of herbal plants as anticancer agents: a comprehensive review from molecular pathways

Cancer refers to the proliferation and multiplication of aberrant cells inside the human body, characterized by their capacity to proliferate and infiltrate various anatomical regions. Numerous biochemical pathways and signaling molecules have an impact on the cancer auto biogenesis process. The regulation of crucial cellular processes necessary for cell survival and proliferation, which are triggered by phytochemicals, is significantly influenced by signaling pathways. These pathways or components are regulated by phytochemicals. Medicinal plants are a significant reservoir of diverse anticancer medications employed in chemotherapy. The anticancer effects of phytochemicals are mediated by several methods, including induction of apoptosis, cessation of the cell cycle, inhibition of kinases, and prevention of carcinogenic substances. This paper analyzes the phytochemistry of seven prominent plant constituents, namely, alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, steroids, terpenoids, and saponins, focusing on the involvement of the MAPK/ERK pathway, TNF signaling, death receptors, p53, p38, and actin dynamics. Hence, this review has examined a range of phytochemicals, encompassing their structural characteristics and potential anticancer mechanisms. It has underscored the significance of plant-derived bioactive compounds in the prevention of cancer, utilizing diverse molecular pathways. In addition, this endeavor also seeks to incentivize scientists to carry out clinical trials on anticancer medications derived from plants.

Effectiveness of Gel from Andaliman Fruit (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) Extract on Wound Inflammation

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Pain is caused by damaged tissue on the outside or inside of an organ and it is regulated by chemicals. Synthetic drugs are used to ease pain because they are analgesics in the field of medicine. Traditional medicine is known to help people all over the world, in both rich and developing nations. The Andaliman fruit, or <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> DC., comes from a spice plant that grows naturally in Toba Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. This study aims to determine the formulation of the nanoherbal analgesic spray gel preparation of Andaliman fruit (<i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> DC.) in terms of its effectiveness as a pain reliever. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> There were three amounts of spray gel made, namely 5, 10 and 15% and tests were done to see how well they worked. <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> bacteria were used in the bacterial blocking test. To test how well painkillers worked, five groups of mice were used. Using a hot iron, tests for anti-inflammatory activity and wound healing were done. The tissue was then watched for 14 days and analysed using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stains. <b>Results:</b> The 15% concentration reduces pain and the time it takes for the body to respond to it. The clear zone size is the same as (K⁺) and it can lower the number of inflammatory cells and help wounds heal by adding fibroblast and collagen cells. These findings are supported by significant data results (p<0.05, p = 0.018). <b>Conclusion:</b> Finally, analgesic gel spray made from the Andaliman fruit at a 15% concentration can help with pain and also be antibacterial, reduce inflammation and help wounds heal.</p>.

Rhodomyrtus tomentosa as a new anticancer molecular strategy in breast histology via Her2, IL33, EGFR, and MUC1

The prevalence of breast cancer among patients in Indonesia is significant. Indonesian individuals maintain the belief that cancer cannot be cured alone by pharmaceuticals and treatment; herbal remedies must be used in conjunction. Rhodomyrtus tomentosa, also known as Haramonting, is an indigenous Indonesian medicinal plant renowned for its copious antioxidant properties. The objective of study was to assess the impact of haramonting on breast cancer by examining the expression of various biomarker proteins associated with breast cancer. Haramonting was administered to breast cancer model mice at different doses over a period of 30 days. Subsequently, blood and breast samples were obtained for immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). Authors have discovered that there has been a notable rise in the proliferation of epithelial cells in the duct lobes, resulting in the formation of ducts and lobules. Additionally, the researchers discovered that the breasts exhibited distinct clinical and histological alterations. Haramonting possesses the capacity to restore the concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) to normal levels in the blood serum of rats afflicted with cancer. The histopathological analysis of the breast tissue revealed elevated levels of Her2, IL33, EGFR, and MUC1. The authors also discovered a notable increase in the growth of epithelial cells, with two or more layers of cells reaching towards the centre of the duct. The size of the epithelial cells exhibits variability; however, this state ameliorates with the administration of a dosage of 300 mg/kgBW of this botanical specimen. This study proposes that Haramonting may be effective in treating breast cancer.

Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk. (haramonting) protects against allethrin-exposed pulmo damage in rats: mechanistic interleukins

Inhaling Allethrin (C19H26O3) may induce oxidative stress in lung cells by causing the formation of free radi-cals. Interleukins (IL) are a group of secreted cytokines or proteins and signaling molecules initially produced as an immune response by leukocytes. Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk. (haramonting) contains antioxidants that may prevent lung damage induced by allethrin-containing electric mosquito repellents. In this study, six groups of rats were exposed to allethrin via an electric mosquito repellent, including positive, negative, and comparison control groups and three groups were administered Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk at 100 mg/kg BW, 200 mg/kg BW, and 300 mg/kg BW. After 30 days, the pulmonary tissue and the blood were taken for immunohisto-chemical and ELISA analysis. The accumulation of inflammatory cells causes the thickening of the alveolar wall structures. Injuries were more prevalent in the A+ group than in the other groups. The connection between the alveoli and blood capillaries, which can interfere with alveolar gas exchange, is not regulated, and the lu-minal morphology is aberrant, causing damage to the alveolar epithelial cells. Exposure to electric mosquito coils containing allethrin can increase the expression of interleukin-1, interleukin-8, interleukin-9, and interleu-kin-18 in blood serum and tissues while decreasing the expression of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10. Like the Vitamin C group, Rhodomyrtus tomentosa can increase alveolar histological alterations by decreasing the ex-pression of IL-1β, IL-8, IL-9, and IL-18 while increasing IL-6 and IL-10. So that this plant can be developed in the future as a drug to prevent lung harm from exposure.

The benefits of EVOO and ACE oil stem from their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties. They also have potential as prebiotic compounds. In this update, we synthesise and illustrate the various characteristics and beneficial effects of olive oils from different varieties of olive trees, with special emphasis on Olea oleaster, also known as Olea europaea, L. var. sylvestris.

Chemical Composition, Antimicrobial, Nitric Oxide Inhibition and Cytotoxic Activity of Essential Oils from Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC. Leaves and Stems from Vietnam

This study was aimed to investigate the chemical composition and biological activities of leaf and stem essential oils of Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC. from Vietnam. Their chemical composition was analyzed by GC/MS. Antimicrobial activities were evaluated by microdilution broth assay. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by the ability to inhibit nitric oxide production in macrophage cells. Cytotoxic activity was evaluated using the sulforhodamine B assay on three human cancer cell lines. Forty-four compounds were identified in the leaf oil, among which dehydroaromadendrane (23.4 %), (E)-carpacin (17.6 %), 2-tridecanone (12.2 %), and 9-methyl-2-decanone (11.8 %) were the most abundant. The stem oil contained fifty-five identified constituents, mainly γ-gurjunene (51.1 %) and butyl acetate (11.8 %). Both oils exhibited inhibitory effects on three bacterial strains, namely S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa and a fungal strain C. albican, while showed insignificant effects on B. subtilis, L. fermentum, and S. enterica. Both oils showed weak NO production inhibition in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, but exhibited potent cytotoxic activity against all three tested cell lines SK-LU-1, MCF-7, and HepG2 with the IC50 values ranging from 16.03±0.77 to 35.60±1.62 μg/mL. This is the first report on the antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities of essential oils from the leaves and stems of Z. acanthopodium.

Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) a herbal medicine from North Sumatera, Indonesia: Phytochemical and pharmacological review

Andaliman (Z. acanthopodium DC) is a kind of flowering plant that belongs to the Rutaceae family. The habitats are found in southwestern China (Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Tibet, and Yunnan), Bangladesh, Bhutan, northern India, and northeastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal), Nepal, Laos, Burma, Vietnam, North Sumatra highlands, Peninsular Malaysia, and northern Thailand. Andaliman is indigenous to North Sumatra, more specifically the Toba Samosir District, North Tapanuli, and the Dairi region. The phytochemical investigation showed some terpenoids as well as other compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, and saponins, but they have not been entirely identified. In Indonesia, the plant is employed both in the culinary industry as an additive for flavoring food and in the traditional medical system for treating various diseases. It was reported to possess antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, nephroprotective, and wound healing properties, alongside other activities related to pregnancy that were tested in vitro and in vivo. The results of the investigation were based on previously published studies. This review serves as information and a summary, thereby making further exploration of Andaliman to be easier.

Effects of Zanthoxylum acanthopodium on MMP-9 and GLUT-1 expression and histology changes in rats with cervical carcinoma

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in Indonesia. It can be treated with molecular therapies targeting Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP-9) and Glucose transporter (GLUT-1), which are enzymes that are involved in tumour cell invasion, metastasis and angiogenesis. Zanthoxylum acanthopodium (andaliman) is an Indonesian herb with anti-cancer properties. This study aimed to investigate the histological changes andaliman treatment caused in MMP-9 and GLUT-1 expression. This study used five groups of rats: control (C-), cancer model (C+), cancer-bearing rats with a 100-mg dose of Zanthoxylum acanthopodium methanol extract (ZAM)/BW (ZAM100), cancer-bearing rats with a 200-mg dose of ZAM /BW (ZAM200) and cancer-bearing rats with a 400-mg dose of ZAM/BW (ZAM400). Immunohistochemical methods were used to stain cervical tissue with MMP-9 and GLUT-1 antibodies, and a TUNEL assay was performed to investigate cell apoptosis. Zanthoxylum acanthopodium methanol extract administration did not affect rat body weight but had a significant effect on cervical cancer growth. There was an increase in MDA levels associated with SOD deficiency in tumour tissue. SOD activity increased due to ZAM administration, allowing cells to be protected from oxidant disruption and oxidative stress. ZAM ameliorated cervical carcinoma tissue damage and reduced the expression of MMP-9, GLUT-1 and apoptosis in serum and tissue (p &lt; 0.01) In short, the higher the ZAM dose, the lower the expression of MMP-9, GLUT-1 and apoptosis, indicating that ZAM is effective to treat cervical cancer.

Histological changes of cervical tumours following Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC treatment, and its impact on cytokine expression

•

ZAM administration had no effect on the bodyweight of cervical cancer rats.

•

Antioxidants found in andaliman can lower levels of MDA and serum NGAL, thereby increasing SOD activity.

•

ZAM treatment can suppress the production of IL1β and TGFβ1 which promotes cancer cell growth in rats.

•

ZAM administration can increase IL-10 expression in cervical cancer rats, thereby suppressing the growth of cervical cancer.

•

ZAM decrease VEGFR1 serum expression and improve histology in cervical cancer rats.

Cervical cancer is the second most lethal cancer in Indonesia, behind breast cancer. One of the reasons cancer cells are difficult to treat is that the immune system is sometimes unable to recognise them as foreign. Cytokinin therapy is carried out so that the immune system can strengthen its response to cancer cells, with the aim of slowing or stopping the development of malignant cells. Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC, also known as andaliman, is an Indonesian herb and a member of the Rutaceae family. It is rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. The current study aimed to investigate the histological changes and changes in the expression of cytokines, such as IL-10, IL1β, VEGFR1, and TGFβ1, associated with andaliman treatment. Sample tissues and serums extracted from cervical cancer rat models were used. Rats were divided into five groups: a control group (C−), cancer model group (C+), cancer with a dose of Z. acanthopodium methanolic extract (ZAM) 100 mg/body weight (BW) ZAM (ZAM100), cancer with a dose of ZAM 200 mg/BW ZAM (ZAM200), and cancer with a dose of ZAM 400 mg/BW ZAM (ZAM400). Treatment lasted for 1 month. Blood samples were prepared for ELISA analysis, and cervical tissue was stained for immunohistochemistry using antibodies against IL-10, IL-1β, VEGFR1, and TGFβ1. Administration of ZAM had no significant effect on rat body weight and cervical organs (p > 0.05). However, it impacted haematological parameters in rats with cervical cancer (p < 0.05). Elevated malondialdehyde levels may be linked to superoxide dismutase deficiency in tumour tissue. ZAM significantly decreased the expression of IL1β, TGFβ1, and VEGFR1 (p < 0.01), while it increased the expression of IL-10. Therefore, ZAM may be a potential target for molecular cytokine therapy for cervical cancer.

Analysis of Cytochrome c Expression on Liver Histology of Hepatitis Rats after Administration of Tin and Olive Leaf Ethanol Extract

<b>Background and Objective:</b> Hepatitis is a liver illness caused by a viral infection, autoimmune conditions or the use of certain medicines. In molecular hepatitis treatment, cytochrome c can be used as a potential predictor of the severity of liver impairment. In Asia, particularly in Indonesia, antioxidant-rich plants include <i>Ficus</i> <i>carica</i> and <i>Olea europaea.</i> This study aimed to see what impact cytochrome c in hepatitis after these two botanicals were administered. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> Rats were grouped as follows: Normal rats with no additions or herbs (G₀), the physiological solution group (G₁), the intravenous administration of the quercetin-copper (II) (G₂), Olive leaf extract or OLE (300 mg kg¹ b.wt.) (G₃) and Tin leaf extract or TLE (100 mg kg¹ b.wt.) (G₄). For an animal model of hepatitis, the rats were given thioacetamide 280 mg kg¹ b.wt., 8 days later. The rats were dissected and blood and liver samples were collected for enzyme and immunohistochemistry examination. <b>Results:</b> Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and cytochrome c expression levels differed significantly (p<0.05) across treatment groups in rat's models of hepatitis. Hepatocytes first displayed symptoms of lipid degradation, inflammatory and necrosis cells. When administered quercetin and the two herbs, necrosis and inflammatory cells were reduced, demonstrating that OLE and TLE can enhance liver histology and lower cytochrome c expression in a mouse model of hepatitis. <b>Conclusion:</b> Administration of Olive leaf extract (OLE) and Tin leaf extract (TLE) can improve liver histology in hepatitis model rats while decreasing cytochrome c expression, which is a mechanism for hepatocyte cell death.

Correlation of Myc Expression with Wee1 Expression by Zanthoxylum acanthopodium in Cervical Carcinoma Histology

&lt;b&gt;Background and Objective:&lt;/b&gt; Natural herbs and molecular therapy can be used to treat cervical cancer. The Myc and Wee1 control tumour cell fate and microenvironmental changes like angiogenesis activation and host immune response suppression. The study aims to know about the correlation of Myc and Wee1 expressions as a molecular therapy given by &lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/b&gt; There are five rat groups: Group K&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; is the untreated group, Group K&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; is the rats injected with benzopyrene, Group P&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt; is the administration of &lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt; 100 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt., Group P&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; is the administration of &lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt; 200 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt. and Group P&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; is the administration of &lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt; 400 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt. The rats are dissected 30 days after receiving &lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt;. To stain the cervical tissues, immunohistochemistry is performed. &lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt; administration caused epithelial thickening and decreased Myc expression in previously uncontrolled carcinomas from untreated malignancies, which now slowed and stopped growing into the normal epithelium. Wee1 expression revealed that this herb could repair tissue by drastically reducing Wee1 expression at a dose of 100-400 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt. Similarly, at the highest dose, cervical carcinoma stops growing and the nucleus begins to form normally (p<0.01). &lt;b&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/b&gt; The higher Myc expression on andaliman administration in cervical carcinoma decreases Wee1 expression in cervical carcinoma so these two proteins have a strong and significant correlation. &lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt; can be administered at various dosages to lower the number of positive indexes of Myc and Wee1 expression in cervical carcinoma.

Suppression of Wnt Expression by Increasing PI3K in Rats Cervical Carcinoma by Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium)

&lt;b&gt;Background and Objective:&lt;/b&gt; Cervical cancer is the leading cause of death for women in the world and Indonesia. This disease originates from a malignant tumour of squamous epithelial cells caused by infection with the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Antioxidants can reduce oxidative stress in and there are plants from Indonesia that have high antioxidants, namely andaliman (&lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt;). This study aimed to analyze the role of andaliman on PI3K and Wnt signalling in cervical cancer histology. &lt;b&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/b&gt; The study includes 5 treatments. The control group (K-), rats cancer model (K+), rats cancer model+the dose is 100 mg/b.wt. of ZAM (P&lt;sub&gt;1&lt;/sub&gt;), rats cancer model+the dose is 200 mg/b.wt. of ZAM (P&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;) and rats cancer model+the dosage is 400 mg/b.wt. ZAM (P&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;). On the 30th day after ZAM administration, the rats were dissected for the paraffin block and Wnt and PI3K immunohistochemical staining was prepared. &lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; There was a significant difference between all groups (p<0.001) in Wnt and PI3K expression. The real role of ZAM in cervical cancer tissue was seen at the highest ZAM dose (P&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;). Irregular mucosal folds and stretched interstitial connective tissue in the K+ group can return to regularity and improve at the P&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt; dose. The administration of ZAM showed a significant difference in cervical tissue after benzopyrene injection. &lt;b&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/b&gt; Andaliman (&lt;i&gt;Zanthoxylum acanthopodium&lt;/i&gt;) extract increases PI3K expression through suppression of Wnt expression. It can be developed therapy molecularly to prevent cell growth into cancer.

Analysis of Apoptotic Cells and Lung Inflammation after Given by Vitis gracilis

&lt;b&gt;Background and Objective:&lt;/b&gt; Herbs have the potential to be used in molecular therapy to treat inflammation and apoptosis. It has been demonstrated that the Indonesian native &lt;i&gt;Vitris gracilis&lt;/i&gt; inhibits cytochrome c as a precursor to apoptosis. When body tissues are injured, infected with bacteria, exposed to toxins or exposed to heat that causes cell death, inflammation occurs. The current study aimed to look for the effect of &lt;i&gt;Vitis gracilis&lt;/i&gt; extract in the lung histology of mice. &lt;b&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/b&gt; Five treatment groups were used for the experiments, which were conducted inside the study. The T1 is the negative control, T2 is swimming mice with 0.2 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt., of vitamin C, T3 is swimming mice with 50 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt., of &lt;i&gt;Vitis gracilis&lt;/i&gt;, T4 is swimming mice with 75 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt., of &lt;i&gt;Vitis gracilis&lt;/i&gt; and T5 is swimming mice with 100 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt., of &lt;i&gt;Vitis gracilis&lt;/i&gt;. The dislocation procedure was used to dissect mice, ketamine was administered before dissection and the lungs were removed for TUNEL assay examination. &lt;b&gt;Results:&lt;/b&gt; There were no significant differences in inflammatory cells or index-positive apoptotic cells between the T1, T2 and T5 groups (p>0.05). The T3 group had the highest value, while the T1 group had the lowest. The highest dose of &lt;i&gt;Vitis gracilis&lt;/i&gt; reduced lung cell inflammation while also improving histological structure, resulting in intact, nucleated and complete alveolar membranes with proportional endothelial cells. &lt;b&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Vitis gracilis&lt;/i&gt; 100 mg kg&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; b.wt., can repair and reduce inflammation in lung tissue. As a result, the higher the dose of &lt;i&gt;Vitis gracilis&lt;/i&gt;, the less cell apoptosis occurs in the lungs.
