摘要:Through the review of ancient Chinese medicine books and modern medical literatures, this paper summarizes and sorts out the dorsal manifestations related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and analyzes their pathogenesis. The dorsal manifestations of GERD include pain, cold or heat sensation and distension between the scapulae, as well as the tenderness, skin temperature and morphological changes at the acupoints of Governor Channel and (or) bladder meridian in this area. The pathogenesis can be interpreted based on the regulation of visceral and somatosensory innervation in the western medicine and the related theory of meridians and zang-fu viscera in traditional Chinese medicine. The study of dorsal manifestations of GERD would help to improve the understanding of clinical practitioners on GERD, so as to reduce misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

摘要:ObjectiveTo analyze the tongue image features of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and explore the relationship between the tongue images and the colonoscopic features based on image data processing. MethodsA total of 226 confirmed UC patients and 45 health people were selected as study subjects. The tongue image indexes of all study subjects were collected and analyzed by TDA-1 tongue diagnosis instrument and TDAS 2.0 Chinese medical tongue diagnosis analysis system, the colonoscopy reports of UC patients were also compiled and recorded, and the tongue image characteristics and the correlation between colonoscopic features and tongue images were analyzed.ResultsThe tongue image indexes indicated that UC patients especially those with intestinal lesions had redder, more purplish-red, bluer tongue bodies and more yellowish, greasier tongue coatings than the health people. The UC patients with intestinal lesions showed redder, more purplish-red, bluer tongue bodies and more yellowish, greasier tongue coatings than those without lesions recently, but the differences between different locations of intestinal lesions were not significant. As to the degree of congestion and edema, those with intestinal diffuse hyperaemia had redder, more purplish-red tongue bodies and more yellowish, greasier tongue coatings than patients with other types. As to the degree of mucosal frangibility, pus secretion and spontaneous bleeding, the UC patients with intestinal frangibility-positive, pus-positive and spontaneous bleeding-positive had redder, more purplish-red tongue bodies, more yellowish and greasier tongue coatings than those negative individuals. As to the degree of mucosal ulceration, those with mucosal ulceration had redder, more purplish-red tongue bodies and greasier tongue coatings than those without ulceration, and those with diffuse colonic ulcer had more yellowish and greasier tongue coatings than those with other types of UC. The closer the grade between the degrees of ulceration was, the less significant the differences would be, but the overall trend showed that the more severe the degree of ulceration was, the more reddish, purplish-red the tongue bodies and the more yellowish, greasier the tongue coatings would be. Correlation analysis showed that the more severe the degree of intestinal mucosal hyperaemia, frangibility, ulceration, pus secretion, and spontaneous bleeding was, the more reddish and purplish-red the tongue bodies and the more yellowish and greasier the tongue coatings would be; the more extensive the lesion was, the more reddish and purplish-red the tongue bodies and the greasier the tongue coatings would be.ConclusionsPatients with UC are more likely to have red, purplish-red, blue tongue bodies and yellowish greasy tongue coatings compared to healthy individuals. There is a correlation between tongue images and colonoscopic features in UC patients; the more severe the colonoscopic manifestations are, the more reddish and purplish-red the tongue bodies and the more yellowish greasier the tongue coatings would be.

摘要:ObjectiveTo explore the fecal metabolomic characteristics of children with rotavirus enteritis of damp-heat syndrome from the perspective of metabolomics.MethodsFecal samples were collected from 20 children with rotavirus enteritis (RV damp-heat syndrome group) and 20 healthy children, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-exactive high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q Exactive HRMS) was utilized to collect fecal metabolic fingerprints, and orthogonal-partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) pattern recognition approach was introduced for data analysis to identify differential endogenous metabolites.ResultsOPLS-DA pattern recognition approach can effectively distinguish RV damp-heat syndrome group from healthy group with high reliability. Eleven differential metabolites were screened out and identified, involving 9 metabolic pathways, such as caffeine metabolism, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism, unsaturated fatty acid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, and glycine, serine and threonine metabolism.ConclusionThere are differential metabolites in fecal samples between children with rotavirus enteritis of damp-heat syndrome and healthy children. The abnormal expression of these metabolic compounds may be an important pathogenesis of rotavirus enteritis of damp-heat syndrome, and it can also be a potential intervention target.
摘要:ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between functional bowel disorder (FBD) and anxiety and depressive states in patients with epilepsy and the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes. MethodsA total of 306 patients with epilepsy were divided into the group with FBD (n=172) and the group without FBD (n=134) according to the disease status of FBD. The case data were collected and analyzed to compare the general conditions (gender, age, disease duration, EEG, cognitive function), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores and the distribution of TCM symptoms between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing FBD in epileptic patients.Results①Compared with the conditions in the group without FBD, the age was higher, the disease duration was longer and the EEG abnormality rate was higher in the group with FBD (P<0.001, P<0.05). ②SAS and SDS scores were higher in the group with FBD than the scores in the group without FBD (P<0.001), and the abnormal rates of SAS and SDS scores were higher than those in the group without FBD (P<0.001). ③According to the results of logistic regression analysis, the disease duration, age, and SAS scores were influencing factors of FBD in epileptic patients (P<0.05), and epileptic patients with abnormal SAS scores were 6.104 times more likely to have FBD than those with normal SAS scores [OR=6.104, 95% CI (3.416-10.906), P<0.001]. ④The heart and spleen dual deficiency syndrome was the most common syndrome in the group with FBD (27.91%), and the stasis blocking brain collaterals syndrome was most common syndrome in the group without FBD (41.79%). The distribution of TCM syndromes of phlegm, deficiency and stasis showed that most cases in the group with FBD had deficiency syndomes (44.19%) and most cases in the group without FBD had phlegm syndromes (52.24%).ConclusionCompared with conditions in the group without FBD, epileptic patients with FBD had more severe anxiety and depression. The disease duration, age, and anxiety and depressive states are all influencing factors in the occurrence of FBD in patients with epilepsy. Epileptic patients with FBD are more likely to have deficiency syndromes, and the heart and spleen dual deficiency syndrome has the highest proportion.

摘要:Modern doctors treat coronary heart disease mainly by activating blood and resolving stasis or resolving phlegm and unblocking collaterals. However, heart yang also plays an important role in the treatment of heart disease or even in angina pectoris. The pathogenesis of coronary heart disease is closely related to heart yang deficiency syndrome. Zhang Zhongjing put forward the theory of " weak pulse at yang and wiry pulse at yin" in the treatment of angina pectoris and treated it based on the method of warming and unblocking the heart yang as well as the dynamic syndrome differentiation and treatment thought of treating heart-lung, heart-spleen and heart-kidney, which also has certain enlightenment value for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease today.

摘要:ObjectiveTo research the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion with Chinese medicine in regulating the estrogen receptor in endometriosis.MethodsFifty SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, acupuncture and moxibustion group, Chinese medicine group, acupuncture and moxibustion with Chinese medicine group (AC group in brief), 10 rats in each group. Endometriosis rat models were established in advance. The acupuncture and moxibustion group received acupuncture at Xuehai (SP10) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) and moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV4); the Chinese medicine group was treated with 0.9% NaCl suspension of Jiawei Mojie tablet by oral gavage; the AC group was treated by the above two methods simultaneously. The sham operation group and the model group were fixed and given of the same dosage of 0.9% NaCl by oral gavage. After 30 days of treatment, the diameters of ectopic cysts in five groups were measured. Normal endometrial, eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues were taken for immunohistochemical detection and the expressions of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and estrogen receptor β (ERβ) in different tissues were compared.ResultsThe diameter of ectopic cyst in acupuncture and moxibustion group, Chinese medicine group, and AC group was significantly smaller than that in model group (P<0.05). The diameter of ectopic cyst in AC group was significantly smaller than that both in acupuncture and moxibustion group and Chinese medicine group (P<0.05). The ERα expression in ectopic and eutopic endometrium of acupuncture and moxibustion group and AC group was significantly higher than that of model group (P<0.01) and Chinese medicine group (P<0.01). The ERα expression in eutopic endometrium of AC group was higher than that of acupuncture and moxibustion group (P<0.05). The ERβ expression in ectopic and eutopic endometrium of acupuncture and moxibustion group, Chinese medicine group and AC group was lower than that of model group (P<0.01). The ERβ expression in ectopic and eutopic endometrium of AC group was significantly lower than that of Chinese medicine group (P<0.01). ERα/ERβ ratio was lower in the ectopic and eutopic endometrium of EMS rats. ERα/ERβ ratio in the ectopic and eutopic endometrium of AC group was the highest among all the groups.ConclusionThe combination of acupuncture and moxibustion with Chinese medicine may achieve the treatment effect of rats’ endometriosis through up-regulating the expression of ERα protein and down-regulating the expression of ERβ protein in eutopic and ectopic endometrium to the normal level.

摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effect of estrogen receptor antagonist on the neuroprotective effect of Zuoguiwan Decoction, and explore the material basis of the theory of "kidney-brain connection" in traditional Chinese medicine.MethodsA total of 108 female SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: sham operation group (group a), simple cerebral ischemia group (group b), panic injuring kidney group (group c), Chinese medicine kidney-tonifying group (group d), estrogen receptor antagonist group (group e), Naofukang group (group f), with 18 rats in each group. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model of rats was established by thread occlusion in all groups except sham operation group. Rats in group c, group d, group e and group f were threatened by high platform 10 days before MCAO. Rats in group d and group e were administered with Zuoguiwan Decoction 1.62 g/kg by gavage 3 days before MCAO, once a day for 10 consecutive days. Rats in group f were administered with Naofukang suspension 0.324 g/kg by gavage 3 days before MCAO, once a day for 10 consecutive days. Rats in group e were also administered with the estrogen receptor blocker ICI182780 5 mg/kg intraperitoneally 3 days before MCAO, once a day for 10 consecutive days. The motor ability of rats in each group was measured by a horizontal beam method, the memory of rats was measured by a novel cognition method and platform jumping test, and the morphological changes of brain tissue were observed by HE staining method.ResultsCompared with group a, there was a significant decrease of the motor ability and memory of rats in group b (P<0.01); compared with group b, there was a significant decrease of the motor ability and memory of rats in group c (P<0.05); compared with group c, there was a significant improvement of the motor ability and memory of rats in group d (P<0.05); compared with group d, there was a significant decrease of the motor ability and memory of rats in group e (P<0.05); compared with group d, there was no significant difference of the motor ability and memory of rats in group f (P>0.05).ConclusionThe protective effect of Zuoguiwan Decoction on brain can be blocked by estrogen receptor antagonists, suggesting that Zuoguiwan Decoction can affect brain through estrogen and its receptors, and "kidney-estrogen and its receptors-brain" may be one of the key pathways of "kidney communicating with the brain" .

摘要:ObjectiveTo explore the effect and mechanism of Danshen Yin on lipid metabolism in rats with hyperlipidemia induced by long-term feeding with high-fat diet.MethodsTotally 70 Wistar rats were randomly divided into basic group (n=14 ) and high-fat group (n=56 ). The rats in the basic group were fed with basic diet, and the rats in the high-fat group were fed with high-fat diet. The blood lipid level of the animals was measured in the eighth week. The rats in the basic group met the requirements were taken as the blank group. According to body weight and blood lipid levels, the successful modeling rats in the high-fat group were randomly divided into model group, simvastatin control group (0.004 g/kg ), high-dose Danshen Yin group (3.6 g/kg crude drug ) and low-dose Danshen Yin group (0.9 g/kg crude drug). Four weeks after administration, the blood lipid biochemical indexes (TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C) and the levels of lipid metabolic enzymes (HL, LCAT, PLTP) in plasma were detected and the pathological morphology of liver tissue was observed by HE staining.ResultsCompared with the model group, the plasma contents of TC, TG and LDL-C in high-dose Danshen Yin group were decreased (P<0.05), while the content of HDL-C was increased (P<0.05), and the plasma contents of TC and TG in low-dose Danshen Yin group were decreased (P<0.05). HL content in plasma of rats in high-dose and low-dose Danshen Yin groups was increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The contents of LPL and MTP in liver tissues of rats in the high-dose and low-dose Danshen Yin groups were increased (P<0.05), and the content of HMG-coA reductase was decreased (P<0.05). Both Danshen Yin groups could significantly improve the pathological morphology of liver tissue in hyperlipidemia model rats, and the effect of high-dose Danshen Yin group was more obvious than that of low-dose Danshen Yin group.ConclusionDanshen Yin has significant lipid-lowering effect, and its mechanism may be related to the effect of Danshen Yin on lipid absorption, synthesis, transportation and metabolism.

摘要:ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Jianpi Liqi Decoction in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD) by inhibiting degranulation of duodenal mast cells (MC), improving the expression of duodenal tight junction proteins (TJs) and restoring intestinal barrier function. MethodsTwenty-four 6-week-old SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, traditional Chinese medicine treatment group and CRH antagonist group, 6 rats in each grpup. Except for the control group, the FD model was established by tail clamping stress in other groups. After the establishment of the model, the control group and the model group were given pure water gavage, the traditional Chinese medicine treatment group given Jianpi Liqi Decoction gavage and the CRH antagonist group injected with antagonist intraperitoneally. After the intervention, the duodenum was taken and the expressions of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) major receptor 1 (CRHR1), MC marker protein trypsin (Tryptase), protease activated receptor 2 (PAR-2), myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), and TJs (JAM-A, ZO-1, claudin-1) in the duodenum were determined by Western blot.ResultsCompared with the control group, the expressions of CRHR1, Tryptase, PAR-2, MLCK in the duodenum of the model group were significant increased (P<0.05), while the expressions of TJs (JAM-A, ZO-1, claudin-1) were down-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expressions of CRHR1, Tryptase, PAR-2 and MLCK in the traditional Chinese medicine group and CRH antagonist group were down-regulated, while the expression of TJs (JAM-A, ZO-1, claudin-1) was significantly increased.ConclusionCRH-mediated activation of MC, release of inflammatory mediators and down-regulation of local TJs expression in the duodenum resulting in barrier damage may be one of the pathogenesis of FD, and Jianpi Liqi Decoction may inhibit the injury pathway, restore the function of local duodenal barrier and play a therapeutic role in FD.

摘要:The study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terminology is a fundamental work of research in various disciplines of TCM. This paper reviews research on the various steps of TCM terminology research (data selection, data pre-processing, data analysis, and expert review) in recent years and concludes that the core problems of such research are mainly difficulties in updating standards, inconsistent standards, and obsolete research methods. Meanwhile, in the study of TCM formula-syndrome terminology, this paper proposes a new method for quantitative comparative study of terms in the form of formula clusters through machine learning modeling.
