  1. Abstract The New York State Averages about 306.1patients who have CHF per year, a number which is rapidly increasing. CHF is an illness wherein the heart cannot possibly pump the much-needed blood throughout the body. Heart failure usually starts when the heart becomes overworked in pumping blood. Since CHF is caused by the heart being overworked certain Chinese medicines try and counter this effect by calming the heart. Daphnia magna were chosen as models for their large and visible hearts. Daphnia were kept at optimal breeding conditions and observed under a light microscope. Ginger and ginseng extract protocols were suggested by Kwonet al in 2003. Each group was exposed to Ginger, American Ginseng, or Chinese Ginseng without caffeine and three more groups were created of these three variables with caffeine. After allowing for one minute exposure time videos were then taken and heart rate was counted. In the comparison of the means in the Non-Caffeinated the heart rate ranges from 234 beats/min in the negative control to 445 beats/min in the Ginseng group. In the means of all Caffeinated groups the heart rate ranges from 234 beats/min. in the negative control to 445 beats/min. in the Ginseng group. Comparison of Heart rates between the Caffeinated and Uncaffeinated groups shows the difference ranges from 317 to 354 beats/min. with a difference of 37 beats/min. in the American Ginseng groups and 234 and 408 beats/min. in the negative and positive control groups with a difference of 174 beats/min. Need Figure 1: Congestive Heart Failure in NY Knowledge Base http://www.nationwidechildrens.org/gd/applications/AdvancingQuality/images/AdultCongenital/Left/adult_clinic_patients_chart.gif Literature Review Vaidya et al. 2009 Mean heart rate (bpm) with standard error in for D.magna administered distilled water (controls), 3.62 μM and 7.24 μM dilutions of curcumin, 4.28 mMdiphenhydramine (DPHM) and co-administered 4.28 mM DPHM and both curcumin concentrations. Li et al., in 2010 Qualitative data collection occurred through immunochemical staining at 0, 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours of exposure. Activity of the Nrf2 transcriptional factor was analyzed through ARE-luciferace reporter assay. Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to asses different Chinese medicine’s effectively at combating stress in daphnia magna Hypothesis H(0): The null hypothesis states that Chinese medicine will have no effect on stressed Daphnia magna heart rate. H(A): The alternate hypothesis states that Chinese medicine will have a beneficial effect on stressed Daphnia magna.

  2. N=10 Graph 1: Comparing the means of central tendency of the Non-Caffeinated groups. The heart rate ranges from 234 beats/min. in the negative control to 445 beats/min. in the Ginseng group. The largest standard deviation was 42 beats/min. in the Ginger group.

The heart rate ranges from 234 beats/min. in the negative control to 445 beats/min. in the Ginseng group. The largest standard deviation was 42 beats/min. in the Ginger group. Statistical analysis using SPSS and ANOVA (p˂.05) Graph 3: Comparison of Heart rates between Caffeinated and Uncaffeinated groups. The difference ranges from 317 to 354 beats/min. with a difference of 37 beats/min. and 234 and 408 beats/min. in the negative and positive control groups with a difference of 174 beats/min. N=10 Statistical analysis using ANOVA  followed by a Scheffe post-Hoc test at p<.05 revealed significant differences between each caffeinated group and their respective controls. The largest significant p-value was 6 x 10-5 between the two American Ginseng groups. The caffeinated Chinese and American Ginseng groups showed a significant decrease in average heart rate compared to the caffeine control, and the caffeinated Chinese Ginseng grouped even showed a significant decrease in heart rate with its uncaffeinated group.

Daphnia magna under 250x magnification Photos taken by authors • The purpose of this experiment was to observe the effect of Chinese herbal medicine (Panaxquinquefolius, Panax ginseng, and, Zingiberofficinale) on the cardiovascular stress of Daphnia magna • The alternate hypothesis was supported in heart rate comparisons between each of the non-caffeinated variables and the negative control as well as between the caffeinated groups and the caffeine control with the exception of the Ginger groups • Results were comparable to Chang et al. 2001 and Vaidya et al. 2009. • Chinese and American Ginseng extracts can decrease heart rate of Daphnia magna under cardiovascular stress induced through caffeine. • Limitation was the large sample size Future Studies • Using chemical compounds found in ginger and ginseng • Long term effects of extracts • Testing on higher mammals with systems relating more directly to humans Conclusion • Aside from the control the Chinese Ginseng group had the largest significant difference between its caffeinated and uncaffeinated group and the American Ginseng group had less of a significant difference between groups. • Chinese Ginseng, and American Ginseng extracts significantly lower the heart rate of Daphnia magna under cardiovascular stressin both caffeinated and uncaffeinated conditions.
