    Abstract Background: Yan Hou Qing (YHQ) is a Chinese medicinal formula designed to alleviate sore throat symptoms, but underlying mechanism of YHQ treatment for pharyngitis is poorly defined up to now.
    Methods: In this study, the modulation of YHQ on pharyngitis is investigated in ammonia-induced acute pharyngitis rat models. After treatment with YHQ or dexamethasone respectively for five consecutive days, all rats were sacrificed for biomolecular and histopathologic study. Protein expressions of MAPKs, NF-κB, COX-2 and 5-LOX in pharyngitis tissue were evaluated by western blot analysis and the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, prostaglandin (PG) E
    Results: Compared with normal control group, EB dye exudation, and inflammatory cytokines in the model group were significantly increased, and the pharynx tissue was obviously infiltrated by inflammatory cells. YHQ treatment improved the inflammatory infiltrate in pharyngeal tissue, and reduced EB dye exudation in AP rat models. The up-regulated TNF-α and IL-6 in pharyngeal tissue of AP were significantly reduced by YHQ through inhibition of phosphorylation of p38, Erk and NF-κB. YHQ treatment also reversed the increased level of PGE
    Conclusions: YHQ formula attenuated the pharyngitis related symptoms via suppression of COX-2 and phosphorylation of p38, Erk and NF-κB (p65).

    Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: Yan-Hou-Qing (YHQ), a Chinese medicine formula containing fourteen kinds of materials, has been designed for pharyngitis and cough treatment in Oriental medicine. In the present study, the anti-allergic effects and underlying mechanisms of YHQ in inhibition of airway hyper responsiveness (AHR) was explored in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma mouse model.
    Materials and methods: BALB/c mice were sensitized by OVA and cholera toxin (CT) and challenged with OVA intranasally to induce allergic asthma mouse model. YHQ (200 mg/kg) was orally administered for 3 weeks from week-2 after OVA sensitization. The AHR and histological changes of lung tissues were evaluated by whole-body barometric plethysmography analysis and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, respectively. The serum concentration of OVA-specific IgE and T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines (IL-4 and IL-13) were determined by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Flow cytometry was performed to evaluate the percentage of CD4
    Results: The elevated AHR responses, heavier inflammatory cell infiltration and Th2 cytokines in allergic asthma group indicated Ovalbumin-induced asthmatic mouse models were built successfully. Compared to allergic asthma group, OVA-induced AHR responses and eosinophil infiltration in lung were improved significantly, and the productions of OVA-specific IgE and Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, in the serum were also reduced dramatically after the treatment of YHQ. Moreover, YHQ treatment significantly increased the percentage of CD4
    Conclusions: YHQ improves the allergic asthma related symptoms via promotion of CD4

Protein expressions of MAPKs, NF-κB, COX-2 and 5-LOX in pharyngitis tissue were evaluated by western blot analysis and the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, prostaglandin (PG) E2, leukotrienes (LT)-B4 and LT-D4 in pharyngeal tissue were measured via ELISA assay. Evans blue (EB) dye exudation test was performed parallelly to assess the integrity of pharyngeal tissue. Results Compared with normal control group, EB dye exudation, and inflammatory cytokines in the model group were significantly increased, and the pharynx tissue was obviously infiltrated by inflammatory cells. YHQ treatment improved the inflammatory infiltrate in pharyngeal tissue, and reduced EB dye exudation in AP rat models. The up-regulated TNF-α and IL-6 in pharyngeal tissue of AP were significantly reduced by YHQ through inhibition of phosphorylation of p38, Erk and NF-κB. YHQ treatment also reversed the increased level of PGE2 through down-regulation of COX-2. Conclusions YHQ formula attenuated the pharyngitis related symptoms via suppression of COX-2 and phosphorylation of p38, Erk and NF-κB (p65).

    Abstract Yan-Hou-Qing (YHQ), a Chinese medicine formula containing fourteen kinds of materials, has been designed for pharyngitis and cough treatment in Oriental medicine. In the present study, the anti-allergic effects and underlying mechanisms of YHQ in inhibition of airway hyper responsiveness (AHR) was explored in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma mouse model.BALB/c mice were sensitized by OVA and cholera toxin (CT) and challenged with OVA intranasally to induce allergic asthma mouse model. YHQ (200 mg/kg) was orally administered for 3 weeks from week-2 after OVA sensitization. The AHR and histological changes of lung tissues were evaluated by whole-body barometric plethysmography analysis and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, respectively. The serum concentration of OVA-specific IgE and T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines (IL-4 and IL-13) were determined by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Flow cytometry was performed to evaluate the percentage of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) in the spleen.The elevated AHR responses, heavier inflammatory cell infiltration and Th2 cytokines in allergic asthma group indicated Ovalbumin-induced asthmatic mouse models were built successfully. Compared to allergic asthma group, OVA-induced AHR responses and eosinophil infiltration in lung were improved significantly, and the productions of OVA-specific IgE and Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, in the serum were also reduced dramatically after the treatment of YHQ. Moreover, YHQ treatment significantly increased the percentage of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in OVA-induced allergic asthma mouse model.YHQ improves the allergic asthma related symptoms via promotion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg and suppression of Th2 responses in mouse model, suggesting YHQ can be used as a potent agent to alleviate allergic asthma related symptoms.
