摘要:This paper tries to discuss the syndrome and treatment of plague by Wu Youke from specific diseases. Wu Youke’s treatment of plague focuses on the dredging and dispersing of qi movement. Sweating therapy should be applied according to the condition,and be sure to keep the gastrointestinal tract unobstructed. Dahuang(Rhei Radix et Rhizoma)is preferred to dredge and disperse,rather than Huanglian(Coptidis Rhizoma). It is considered that the bitter-flavour and cold-natured drugs could only treat the manifestations but not root cause. After sweating,the symptoms are relieved,the pathogen is removed and the vital qi is restored. The therapy of dredging promotes the pathogen into the surface and then the therapy of dispersing expels the pathogen out. Wenyi Lun(Treatise on Plague)was complemented and extended by Dai Tianzhang and Yang Lishan,and Wu Jutong also discussed the prescriptions,and Chongding Guang Wenre Lun was made by He Lianchen,which enlarged the syndrome and treatment of epidemic febrile disease.

摘要:This paper mainly discusses the causes, mechanism, syndromes and treatments of allotriogeusia and abnormal tongue perception due to depression syndrome. Allotriogeusia includes bitter taste, sweet taste, sour taste, salty taste,pungent taste in the mouth. Abnormal tongue perception includes glossalgia, numb tongue, dry tongue, stiff tongue, swollen tongue and burning sensation of tongue. Allotriogeusia and abnormal tongue perception due to depression syndrome are caused by emotional factors. In addition to emotional manifestations, a series of complicated somatic symptoms can be observed simultaneously. The disease location mainly involves the liver-gallbladder, heart-kidney and spleen-stomach. And the pathogenesis and syndromes mainly involve depressed lesser yang, liver qi depression, liver fire, dampness-heat of liver-gallbladder, deficiency of heart-gallbladder, disturbance of heart spirit, heart fire, hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency, disharmony between heart and kidney and accumulated heat in spleen and stomach. As for the treatment, relieving depression according to different syndromes should be flexibly used. If necessary, it also should resolve phlegm and remove blood stasis. In modern medicine, psychological trauma, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety disorder, hysteria, neurasthenia, and menopausal syndrome, burning mouth syndrome and other diseases related to emotional factors may result in allotriogeusia and abnormal tongue perception due to depression syndrome.

摘要:This paper introduces Professor Jiang Zhiyan’s clinical experience in the treatment of adenoidal hypertrophy in children. It is considered that the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease are invasion of pathogenic toxin,lung-heat stagnated in nose,accumulation of phlegm dampness,phlegm obstruction due to spleen deficiency. The treatment is based on dissipating phlegm and resolving masses. When the disease presents acute onset and lung-heat stagnated in nose,therapy of clearing lung-heat for eliminating phlegm should be applied. When the disease presents chronic progress and phlegm obstruction due to spleen deficiency,it should strength the therapy of activating spleen-energy and opening orifice,with combination of oral administration of Chinese medicine and acupoint massage. Two proven cases are presented.

摘要:Objective:To discuss the mechanism of Gutongling Decoction in the treatment of pain due to bone metastasis based on the regulation of MAPK signaling pathway. MethodsThe mouse model of bone metastasis was established,and 40 mice were randomly divided into the sham operation group, model group, Chinese medicine group and control group. Except the sham operation group, the mouse model of bone metastasis was established in the other groups. From 7th day of modeling, the Chinese medicine group was treated with Gutongling Decoction and the control group was treated with tramadol. The mechanical pain threshold was detected by VonFrey fiber to evaluate the analgesic efficacy. The pathology of liver, kidney and heart were observed to evaluate the drug safety. The protein expressions of p-JNK, p-p38 and p-ERK in MAPK signaling pathway in spinal cord were detected by Western blot. Results:①On the 14th day after modeling, compared with the model group, the mechanical pain threshold was increased in both control group and Chinese medicine group (P<0.05). On the 21st day after modeling, compared with the model group and control group, the mechanical pain threshold was increased in the Chinese medicine group (P<0.05). ②There were no significant changes on the pathology of liver, kidney and heart. ③Compared with the sham operation group, the expressions of p-JNK, p-p38 and p-ERK in spinal cord were increased in the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expressions of p-JNK, p-p38 and p-ERK were significantly decreased in the control group and Chinese medicine group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences on the expressions of p-JNK, p-p38 and p-ERK between the Chinese medicine group and control group (P>0.05). Conclusion:Gutongling Decoction shows good efficacy in the treatment of pain due to bone metastasis, with no obvious adverse effects on heart, liver and kidney.

摘要:Objective:To discuss the synergistic effects and mechanism of channel ushering drug Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) on tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in rats with pancreatic fibrosis. Methods50 SD rats were randomly divided into the model group, sham operation group, Chaihu group, Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma)-Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) group and Chaihu-Dahuang-Danshen group. In sham operation group, the rats were performed laparotomy and then the abdominal cavities was closed without any operation, while in the model group and three drug treatment groups, the rat model of pancreatic fibrosis was established by pancreatic duct ligation combined with cerulein by intraperitoneal injection. Before and after operation, three drug treatment groups were treated with Chaihu, Dahuang-Danshen and Chaihu-Dahuang-Danshen by intragastric administration at doses of 1.38g·kg-1d-1, 3.04 g·kg-1d-1 and 4.11 g·kg-1d-1, respectively, with a course of 3 days. Rats were sacrificed and the samples were collected on the 4th day after operation. The expression of serum TIMP-1 was measured by ELISA and the expression of TGF-β1 in pancreas was measured by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expression levels of TGF-β1 in pancreas were detected by Real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively. Results:Compared with the model group, the level of serum TIMP-1 was decreased in three drug treatment groups (P<0.01). Compared with Chaihu group, the level of TIMP-1 was decreased in Chaihu-Danhuang-Dansheng group (P<0.01). Compared with Dahuang-Danshen group, the level of TIMP-1 was decreased in Chaihu-Danhuang-Dansheng group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 were decreased in three drug treatment groups (P<0.01). Compared with Chaihu group, the mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 were decreased in Chaihu-Dahuang-Danshen group (P<0.01), and the protein expression of TGF-β1 was decreased in Dahuang-Danshen group (P<0.01). The protein expression of TGF-β1 was decreased in Chaihu-Dahuang-Danshen group compared with Dahuang-Danshen group (P<0.01). Conclusion:“Down-regulating TGF-β1 expression- inhibiting PSC activation-reducing ECM synthesis” and “down-regulating TGF-β1 expression- inhibiting TIMP secretion-promoting ECM degradation” may be two main lines in anti-pancreatic fibrosis effects of Chaihu, Dahuang-Danshen and Chaihu-Dahuang-Danshen. The regulation effects of these three drugs on TGF-β1 play a dual role in ECM synthesis and degradation. Chaihu shows some synergism on the anti-pancreatic fibrosis effects of Dahuang-Danshen, which mainly displays in inhibiting TIMP-1 secretion and down-regulating protein expression of TGF-β1.

摘要:Objective:To observe the expressions of NALP3 inflammasome and IL-1β in rats with acute gouty arthritis, and discuss the effects and possible mechanism of fire needle on acute gouty arthritis. Methods75 Wistar rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, fire needle group, acupuncture group and colchicine group, 15 rats in each group. Except the normal group, the rat model was established by oteracil potassium combined with Coderre in the other groups. Each group was treated with the corresponding intervention. The samples were collected and recorded on the 1st, 4th and 7th day of treatment. The serum levels of NALP3 and IL-1β were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assays. The levels of NALP3 and IL-1β in synovium of joint were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results:①On the 1st day of treatment, compared with the normal group, the levels of NALP3 inflammasome and IL-1β in synovium of joint in the model group, fire needle group, acupuncture group and colchicine group were increased, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).②On the 4th day of treatment, compared with the normal group, the serum levels of NALP3 inflammasome in the model group and acupuncture group were significantly increased, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01); and the serum IL-1β level was increased in the model group and acupuncture group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the serum expressions of IL-1β and NALP3 in the fire needle group and colchicine group were inhibited, with statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expressions of IL-1β and NALP3 in synovium of joint in the fire needle group, acupuncture group and colchicine group were inhibited, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).③On the 7th day of treatment, compared with the normal group, the serum IL-1β level in the model group was still at a high level, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the serum IL-1β level was obviously decreased in the colchicine group with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The level of NALP3 inflammasome in all groups returned to normal level and no statistically significant differences were observed among groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:The molecular mechanisms of fire needle in the treatment of acute gouty arthritis may be related to the inhibiting effects of fire needle on the activation of serum NALP3 inflammasome and the maturation and secretion of IL-1β.

Results:The linear curve of gallic acid fitted well in the range of 0.015 g/L-0.245 g/L (r=1). The average recovery was 95.46%. Bacteriostasis tests in vitro showed good bacteriostatic activity of Xiakucao-Wubeizi lotion against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Conclusion:Determination of gallic acid in the lotion by HPLC is reliable for quality control. Bacteriostasis tests on common gynecological bacteria in vitro indicate that Xiakucao-Wubeizi lotion is an effective pudenda bacteriostasis agent.
