Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the hyperproliferation of the stromal and the epithelial cells within the prostatic transition zone. In recent years, phytotherapy have been studied with the concern for increasing quality of life, improving lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) as well as reducing prostate volume and the frequency of adverse events was similar to that of placebo. Linh Phu Khang Tue Tinh (LPKTT) capsules are formulated from 4 herbs widely used in traditional Vietnamese medicine - Panax notoginseng (Burkill) F.H.Chen - Tam thất (radix), Crinum asiaticum L. - Náng hoa trắng or giant crinum lily, Polygonum cuspidatum Willd. ex Spreng. (= Reynoutria japonica Houtt) - Cốt củ khí or Japanese knotweed (radix), Oldenlandia herbacea (L.) Roxb. (formerly known as Hedyotis diffusa Spreng.) - Bạch hoa xà thiẹ^t thảo or slender oldenlandia (herb). The preparation has been used in traditional Vietnamese medicine to treat nocturia, weak urine stream, urinary tract infection. According to modern studies, these herbs have anti-inflammation, antitumor, and antioxidant activities. AIMS OF THE STUDY Evaluating the effects of LPKTT capsules on the development of BPH using a rat model of BPH induced by testosterone propionate (TP). MATERIALS AND METHODS 60 male Wistar rats, 10-12 weeks of age, weight 200-250 g were separated into six groups: (G1) a normal control group that was taken orally phosphate-buffered saline (p.o.; PBS.) with corn oil (subcutaneous injection- Sc); (G2) a BPH model group that received PBS (p.o) with TP (Sc); (G3) a positive control group that received dutasteride (25 μg/kg BW/24 h, p.o.) with TP (Sc); (G4) a positive control group that received alfuzosin HCl (1.8 mg/kg BW/24 h, p.o.) with TP (s.c.) and (G5 and G6) LPKTT groups that received LPKTT at 289.8 or 869.4 mg/kg(p.o.) respectively, with TP (s.c.). BPH model was induced by Sc of TP, 3 mg/kg for 4 weeks. After that, rats were received NaCl/Dutasteride/Alfuzosin/LPKTT for the next 28 days. On the 56th day, assessed the results were through the indicators: micturition frequency, voided volume, total voided volume, the prostate and body weights, the ratio of prostate weight to body weight, prostate histology. RESULTS LPKTT reduced micturition frequency and increased the voided volume when compared to the control group (p < 0.01). The results were equivalent to those of the alfuzosin ones (G4). LPKTT lowered prostate weight and the ratio of prostate weight to body weight when compared to the control group (p < 0.01). These reductions were the same in the dutasteride ones. Histomorphology in G5 and G6 also showed that LPKTT inhibited TP induced prostatic hyperplasia. The results were similar to that in the dutasteride group. Microscopic images of prostate in G5 and G6 were almost similar to that of G1. CONCLUSION LPKTT capsules work to inhibit prostate proliferation in rats induced BPH by TP.

Abstract
Objectives:
To evaluate the effects of “XGTQ” in the treatment of cirrhosis induced by
Carbon tetrachloride (CCL4) in combination with alcohol and a high-fat diet on Wistar rats.
Materials and methods:
Cirrhosis on white rats was induced by subcutaneously injecting CC14 at
an initial dose of 5,0ml/kg, followed by 1,2ml/kg once a week in 10 weeks. Then, fed with synthetic
food, added 20% fat, and 0.05% cholesterol and iron oxalate. Rats were administered every day
with plain water and 1 day with water mixed with 30% ethanol. The rats were randomly divided into
5 groups and given distilled water (group 1 and 2 or control group), silymarin (group 3 or reference
group) or the “XGTQ” drug extract (group 4, 5) for 4 weeks. Collected blood for biochemical
test and liver were dissected to evaluate weight, morphology, and quantified 4-hydroxyproline to
evaluate fibrosis and collagen accumulation.
Results:
n cirrhotic Wistar rats, “XGTQ” drug at 19.6 g/kg/24h and 58.8 g/kg/24h showed the ability
toreduce the activity of enzymes AST, ALT in the blood (p<0.01), increasing plasma albumin
and decreasing prothrombin time (p<0.05); improving physical condition, macroscopic and microscopic
images of H&E-stained liver; decreasing the concentration of hydroxyproline in the liver and
reducing the level of cirrhosis on the Masson-stained templates. The effects of “XGTQ” increased
with the dose and was equivalent to silymarin at the dose of 70 mg/kg/24h.
Conclusion:
The extract of “XGTQ” drug is effective in treating cirrhosis in Wistar rats.
