摘要:In this article we analyzed the pathogenic characteristics and treatment strategies of COVID-19 infection complicated with underlying diseases in the elderly by introducing 2 proved cases. Elderly patients with COVID-19 are identified with pathogenesis of dampness, heat, toxicity, stasis and deficiency, and the pathogenesis of deficiency and stasis is the most prominent. The deficiency of vital qi exists throughout the disease course. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment principles for elderly patients with COVID-19 include: early intervention, integration of pathogen-eliminating and vital-qi strengthening, and application of treatment methods to guide pathogens out, for instance, the method of dispersing lungs and unblocking bowels, the method of clearing heat and resolving dampness, and the method of supplementing and strengthening vital qi, etc. Additionally, attention should be paid to the treatment of underlying diseases. Treat both the newly contracted infection and persistent diseases, but one need to distinguish the priorities, and treat accordingly and flexibly.

摘要:In this article, Professor Liu Sheng’s experience in treating postoperative lymphedema by focusing on qi, blood and water in breast cancer patients has been introduced and his main idea comes from the theory of “unsmooth blood circulation resulting in water retention”. Pro. Liu believes that “qi-transformation and qi-blood circulation is everywhere inside the body”. Therefore, the dysfunction of qi-transformation and water metabolism is the key to the occurrence of postoperative lymphedema, and the core pathogenesis is “unsmooth blood circulation resulting in water retention”. In terms of treatment, Professor Liu advocates a balance between supporting the vital qi and dispelling the pathogenic qi. Specifically, the methods of tonifying the kidneys, strengthening the spleen, benefiting qi and nourishing the blood are adopted to strengthen the root, while the methods of removing blood stasis with drastic medicinals and expelling blood stasis, inducing diuresis to remove edema are used to dispel the pathogenic factors. One proven case is presented for exemplification.

摘要:The clinical experience of Professor Xue Xiaohong in treating acne mastoid carbuncle (AMC) with the internal administration of traditional Chinese herbal medicines (TCHMs) based on the method of warming yang and dredging collaterals and local minimally invasive surgery is introduced in this article. In the process of diagnosis and treatment, Prof. Xue emphasizes yin-yang based syndrome differentiation and the integration of internal and external treatment. As to the pathogenesis of acne mastoid carbuncle, yang deficiency is the root and phlegm coagulation is the tip. The long-term phlegm accumulation transforms into heat, presenting a syndrome of intermingling of cold and heat. As to the internal treatment, Xue focuses on warming-eliminating, warming-dredging and warming-invigorating; As to the external treatment, Xue emphasizes the importance of timing, advising to stop treatment once the disease in controlled. One proved case is presented.

摘要:Through the reanalysis of the theory of triple energizer and pericardium, it was found that as one of the six fu-organs, the triple energizer had a certain structure and specific physiological functions. It was believed that the triple energizer should be an independent latent space surrounded by the membrane inside the body cavity. Through combing the theory of the pericardium- triple energizer -membrane system, it was proposed that the pericardium should govern membrane, the external and internal relations between the pericardium and the triple energizer, realize the functional interconnection through the membrane and the meridian system, and the pathological mutual influence, therefore guiding the clinical practice.And the treatment and prescription of pericardium- triple energizer -membrane system diseases were been explained.
摘要:Ye Tianshi first put forward the theory of “liver being the congenital dependence of women” in Case Records as Guidance of Clinical Practice and emphasized the importance of liver to women. The theory is an important guidance on the treatment of gynecological diseases in later generations. Liver stores blood, governs conveyance and dispersion, and regulates the circulation of qi and blood in the human body. Liver has a close relationship with women’s physiology, pathology and the occurrence, development and outcome of diseases. This paper explains the important value of the theory of “liver being the congenital dependence of women” in the etiology, pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation and treatment of women’s diseases, from the role of liver in women’s physiological processes and pathological changes based on the theories of liver storing blood and liver governing conveyance and dispersion.

摘要:The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing year by year and has become one of the major public health issues of global concern in recent years. Depression is the most common psychological disorder in CKD patients, which seriously affects their life and treatment. Timely attention to the state of depression in CKD patients and early intervention are more beneficial to the treatment and prognosis of these psychosomatic diseases. Our research group has proposed to treat CKD with depression by Xiaochaihu Decoction together with acupuncture, which is a new treatment logic developed from the concept of “hybrid therapies” in Huangdi Neijing (The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon), supported by the experience of combining acupuncture with classic formulas to treat psychosomatic diseases in Shang Han Lun (Treaties on Febrile Diseases) and the analysis of related clinical and fundamental research progress.
摘要:ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yiqi Yangyin Jiedu (YQYYJD) regimen of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) plus anlotinib for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsA retrospective study approach was applied to collect information on advanced NSCLC cases treated with the YQYYJD regimen of TCM plus anlotinib from June 2018 to March 2021 through the electronic medical record system. All cases were followed up until November 1, 2021, and general information such as driver gene mutation, previous treatment, and pathological types were recorded to evaluate the outcome of solid tumors, and changes in Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score and the incidence of adverse events were analyzed. Median progression free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox analysis was used to evaluate the significance of factors influencing PFS and OS.Results①A total of 33 cases of advanced NSCLC treated with YQYYJD regimen of TCM plus anlotinib were included in the study, and 12 cases harbored driver gene mutation. All patients had previously received epithelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitors (ALK-TKI), or first- and second-line chemotherapy, and acquired resistance, and 20 patients progressed after at least two lines of chemotherapy. The median line of therapy for anlotinib was three. ②The median progression free survival (PFS) was 7.0 months (95% CI: 2.7-11.3), and the median overall survival (mOS) was 16.0 months (95% CI: 12.4-19.6) in 33 cases. ③In evaluating best outcomes of solid tumors, there were 3 cases of partial response, 29 cases of stable disease, and 1 case of disease progression, with an objective response rate of 9.1% and a disease control rate of 97.0%. ④During the treatment, only 1 case of grade 3 treatment-related adverse effects (renal impairment) and reduced dose of anlotinib was reported. ⑤During the course of treatment 22 cases (66.7%) reported stable performance status. ⑥Cox multifactorial analysis demonstrated that elevated TSH level after treatment was significantly associated with longer PFS (RR=3.971, 95% CI: 1.524 - 10.347, P=0.005), and no independent prognostic factors related to OS was found; The mPFS of patients with elevated TSH after treatment was 12 months, longer than that of patients without elevated TSH ( mPFS was 5 months) (RR=0.197, 95% CI: 0.067 - 0.574, P=0.002 9).ConclusionYQYYJD regimen of TCM may prolong survival of advanced NSCLC patients by reducing adverse effects of anlotinib and stabilizing general performance status.

摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of fistulotomy combined with marsupialization on the treatment of low anal fistula.MethodsEighty patients with low anal fistula were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=40) and a control group (n=40). The control group was treated with fistulotomy alone, and the treatment group was treated with fistulotomy and marsupialization. The clinical effect was observed, the duration of surgery, the area of surgical wound, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score of postoperative pain, the amount of postoperative wound exudation, the time taken for wound healing, the scar area at healing, and the Wexner score of postoperative anal incontinence were compared between the two groups.Results①After treatment, patients in both groups were cured clinically, and there was no statistically significant difference in the clinical effect between the two groups (P>0.05). ②The treatment group took longer time to operate than the control group, the average pain VAS score of the treatment group was lower than that of the control group, the average amount of wound exudation of the treatment group was less than that of the control group, and these differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). ③The surgical wound area and scar area at healing in the treatment group were smaller than those in the control group, the time taken for wound healing was shorter than that in the control group, and these differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). ④The difference in the Wexner score of postoperative anal incontinence between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05).ConclusionFistulotomy combined with marsupialization can effectively and safely treat low anal fistulas with a shorter treatment course and milder postoperative complications than fistulotomy alone, without increasing the risk of anal incontinence.
摘要:ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of Jiawei Mojie Tablets on primary dysmenorrhea of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome.MethodsSeventy-three cases of primary dysmenorrhea of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome were randomly divided into a treatment group (n=35) and a control group (n=38). The control group was administered with ibuprofen, while the treatment group was administered with Jiawei Mojie Tablets. The duration of treatment for both groups was 3 menstrual cycles. We observed the clinical efficacy, and compared the changes of pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, the serum levels of inflammatory factors and β-endorphin, the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) scores and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores before and after intervention.Results①During the trial, there were 3 drop-out cases in the treatment group and 4 drop-out cases in the control group, and 32 cases in the treatment group and 34 cases in the control group finally completed the trial. ②The total effective rate was 78.12% in the treatment group and 55.88% in the control group. The clinical efficacy of the treatment group was better than that of the control group (P<0.05). ③After treatment, the pain VAS scores decreased in both groups (P<0.05); The pain VAS scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). ④After treatment, the sub-dimension scores of abdominal pain, menstrual blood clots, breast distension and pain, anal pendant expansion and total TCM symptom scores decreased in the treatment group (P<0.05), and the sub-dimension scores of abdominal pain and total TCM symptom scores decreased in the control group (P<0.05); After treatment, the sub-dimension scores of abdominal pain, menstrual blood clots, breast distension and pain, anal pendant expansion and total TCM symptom scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). ⑤After treatment, the serum level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) decreased (P<0.05) and the serum levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and β-endorphin increased (P<0.05) in the treatment group,the serum levels of β-endorphin increased (P<0.05) in the control group. After treatment, the differences in serum levels of IL-6, IL-10 and β-endorphin between the two groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). ⑥After treatment, SDS scores decreased in the treatment group (P<0.05), but SAS and SDS scores did not change significantly in the control group (P>0.05). After treatment, SDS scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionsJiawei Mojie Tablets can effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms and improve the depressed emotional state of patients with primary dysmenorrhea of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome. The mechanisms involved may be that Jiawei Mojie Tablets can lower IL-6 level, raise IL-10 level, reduce inflammation, and promote the secretion of endogenous opioid analgesic substance β-endorphin, which in turn lowers pain threshold.

摘要:ObjectiveThe molecular mechanism of timosaponin AⅢinhibiting the proliferation on murine glioblastoma GL261(GL261 cell) was investiated by proteomics.Methods① GL261 cells were divided into blank control group (timosaponin AⅢ 0 μmol/L) and different dose groups of timosaponin AⅢ (1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 μmol/L). And solvent control group [0.05% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)] and positive drug group [taxol(TAX),1 μmol/L] were set up. According to the grouping, the solution was added to DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and then mixed into 96-well plate. After incubation for 72 h, the cell survival rate of each group was detected by MTT method. ② GL261 cells were divided into blank control group and timosaponin AⅢ group (3.5, 7 μ mol/L). According to the grouping, the solution was added to DMEM containing 10%FBS, mixed and then added to 96-well plate for 24 h. The colony formation of the cells was determined by plate cloning, apoptosis detected by flow cytometry, and the potential target proteins and related signal pathways analyzed by proteomics. Western blot was used to verify the key proteins.ResultsCompared with the blank control group, timosaponin AⅢ significantly inhibited the viability and colony formation of GL261 cells and induced apoptosis of GL261 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Proteomic results showed that there were 16 differential proteins in GL261 cells treated with timosaponin AⅢ, of which 5 proteins were up-regulated and 11 proteins were down-regulated. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that the main biological processes, cell composition and molecular functions focused on proliferation regulation, negative growth regulation, organelles, protein binding, protein homodimer activity and so on. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) analysis showed that the main pathways were concentrated in mucin O-glycan biosynthesis, non-small cell lung cancer, bacterial invasion of epidermal cells, osteoclast differentiation, FoxO signal pathway, Wnt signal pathway, tight junction, cell adhesion molecules, proteoglycan in cancer and Ras signal pathway. The results of Western blot showed that compared with the blank control group, timosaponin AⅢ inhibited the expressions of CD276 protein and the key proteins in Wnt signaling pathway, such as β-catenin, proto-oncogene (c-Myc) and cyclin D1 (CyclinD1) in GL261 cells in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05).ConclusionsTimosaponin AⅢ can inhibit the proliferation and colony formation of GL261 cells in vitro and induce apoptosis of GL261 cells. The mechanism may be that it inhibits the expression of CD276 protein and regulates the Wnt signal pathway.

摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma H1975 cells resistant to gefitinib in vitro under the action of Feiyanning Prescription (FYN) and gefitinib, and to explore the possible mechanism of FYN in reversing gefitinib resistance.MethodsLung adenocarcinoma T790M mutation-resistant strain H1975 cells were selected and divided into control group, gefitinib group, FYN group and combination group. CCK-8 assay was used to detect the proliferation rate of cells in each group at different time (0 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h); Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins related to EGFR-PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway.ResultsThe results of CCK-8 showed that FYN inhibited the proliferation of H1975 cells in vitro in a dose-dependent manner, that is, its inhibitory power increased with the increase of drug concentration, and the effect of combination drug on inhibiting cell proliferation in vitro was more obvious than that of single drug. Western blot showed that FYN combined with gefitinib could down-regulate the expression of p-EGFR, p-Akt and p-mTOR.ConclusionFYN combined with gefitinib can inhibit the proliferation of H1975 cells in vitro, and the inhibitory effect in vitro is more significant than that of gefitinib. The mechanism of delaying gefitinib resistance may be related to the down-regulation of EGFR-PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway related protein expression.

摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Tiaoxin Bushen Formula (TXBSF) on the activation of microglia and neuroinflammatory response in prefrontal cortex (PFC) of presenilin 1/2 conditional double knockout (PS cDKO) mice with Alzheimer’s disease.MethodsTotally 60 PS cDKO mice aged 3-3.5 months and their littermates were randomly divided into three groups with 20 in each: wild type group (WT), model group (PS cDKO) and model+TXBSF group (PS cDKO+TXBSF). The mice in the WT and PS cDKO group were fed with standard chow, and the mice in the PS cDKO+TXBSF group were fed with standard chow containing TXBSF (17.918 g/kg) for 90 days. After drug administration, the mice were sacrificed for molecular biology detection. Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the effect of TXBSF on the activation of microglia in PFC of mice in each group. qRT-PCR was used to analyze the effect of TXBSF on mRNA levels of proinflammatory factors in PFC of mice, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Western blot was used to detect the effect of TXBSF on the expressions of COX-2 protein and iNOS protein in PFC of mice in each group, and changes in the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in PFC of mice in each group were measured by ELISA.ResultsImmunohistochemical staining showed that compared with PS cDKO mice, the mice with TXBSF demonstrated lower ratios of amoeboid microglia(P<0.05), more branching numbers (P<0.05), longer average branch length (P<0.05) and longer maximum branch length(P<0.05). The result of qRT-PCR showed that TXBSF significantly inhibited COX-2, iNOS, TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA expression levels(P<0.05). Western blot analysis showed that the protein expression levels of COX-2 and iNOS in PFC of PS cDKO mice treated with TXBSF were significantly lower than those in PS cDKO group (P<0.05). The result of ELISA showed that compared with those of PS cDKO mice, the treatment of TXBSF could significantly reduce the levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β in PFC of PS cDKO mice (P<0.05).ConclusionTXBSF may improve the memory impairment by inhibiting the activation of microglia and neuroinflammatory responses in PFC of mice with Alzheimer’s disease.

Correlation analysis and cluster analysis were used to analyze and evaluate the components of Amomi Fructus samples from 20 batches of different producing areas.ResultsThe method had high precision, repeatability and stability, and met the qualitative and quantitative requirements. The results showed that there was a certain degree of difference in the essential oil content of Amomi Fructus samples from different regions. Twelve common chemical components were identified from 20 batches of essential oil of Amomi Fructus from different origins, of which the main components were bornyl acetate, camphor, limonene and borneol. There were obvious differences among some components from different origins. Correlation analysis showed that α-copaene and (+)-aromandendrene, β-myrcene and D-limonene were positively correlated (correlation coefficient: 0.968, 0.938, P<0.01), respectively. The samples of Amomi Fructus from Guangdong, Yunnan and Guangxi could be accurately classified according to the results of cluster analysis respectively.ConclusionsAmomi Fructus has obvious origin clustering characteristics, and there are certain differences in chemical composition of essential oil of Amomi Fructus from different origins. Different production areas of Amomi Fructus can be distinguished by detecting specific components. The established method and experimental results can provide theoretical basis for the development and quality evaluation of Amomi Fructus resources.

摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the intervention effects of medicated serum of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction on Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osteoprotegerin / nuclear factor-κB receptor activator ligand (OPG/RANKL) in preparietal osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) of mice with oxidative injury induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and to explore its mechanism from the point of view of antioxidation.MethodsThe Liuwei Dihuang Decoction was prepared and given to the adult Wistar rats by intragastric administration,and then the medicated serum of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction was collected. Except for the normal group, the other groups of MC3T3-E1 cells were first pretreated with 1.0 mmol/L H2O2 for 6 h, and then the culture medium of the model group was replaced with normal culture medium, the N-acetylcysteine (NAC) group replaced with 2.5 mmol/L NAC and the medicated serum groups with 10% medicated serum. Each group was treated for 24 hours. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in MC3T3-E1 cells was detected by DCFH-DA fluorescence probe. Catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) and reduced glutathione (GSH) were detected according to the kit instructions. The expressions of Runx2, OPG, RANKL, tumor suppressor protein p53 and phosphorylated p53 protein (p-P53) were detected by Western blot.ResultsCompared with the normal group, ROS in the model group was significantly increased (P<0.05), while CAT, SOD, GSH-PX, and GSH were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). In terms of protein expression, compared with the normal group, the protein expressions of Runx2 and OPG in the model group were significantly decreased (all P<0.05), while the RANKL was significantly increased (P<0.05), and p-P53/P53 was also significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the GSH in the medicated serum group of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction was significantly increased (P<0.05) and the level of ROS was significantly decreased (P<0.05). In terms of protein expression, compared with the model group, the protein expressions of Runx2 and OPG in the medicated serum group of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction were significantly increased (P<0.05), while the expression of RANKL was significantly decreased (P<0.05) , and p-P53/P53 was also significantly decreased (P<0.05).ConclusionsIn H2O2-induced oxidatively damaged MC3T3-E1 cells, the medicated serum of Liuwei Dihuang Decoction could promote the protein expression of Runx2, and it could increase the protein expression of OPG and decrease the protein expression of RANKL. This may be related to the fact that it could increase the content of GSH, inhibit the phosphorylation of P53 protein, and reduce the level of ROS in MC3T3-E1 cells.

摘要:ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Polygoni Multiflori Caulis (PMC) and PMC plus Astragali Radix (AR) on concanavalin A (ConA) induced immunological liver injury (ILI) in model mice.MethodsSeventy healthy ICR mice (SPF grade) were randomly divided into normal group, model group, normal group plus high-dose or low-dose PMC, model group plus high-dose or low-dose PMC, model group plus high-dose PMC and AR, with 10 mice in each group. After 10 consecutive days of intragastric administration, ConA with 10 mg·kg-1 injected intravenously was used to induce the ILI model at the last intragastric administration in all groups except the normal groups. 8 hours later, the mice were sacrificed and samples were collected. The pathological changes of liver were observed by HE staining. Liver function (ALT, AST, MDA, MAO, GST, DBIL, IBIL) and blood lipid (TC, TG, LDL-C) were detected by biochemical method.ResultsCompared with the normal group, liver weight, liver index, ALT, AST, MDA and MAO of the model group were increased (P<0.05), while TG and GST were decreased (P<0.05). Liver HE staining showed a large number of infiltrated inflammatory cells in the model group. After PMC given (high or low doses), ALT, AST, MDA and MAO levels were increased significantly (P<0.05), while GST was decreased (P<0.05). Additionally, HE staining showed more inflammatory cell infiltration with partial necrosis of liver cells in the model group plus high-dose PMC. However, ILI mice administrated with combination of high-dose PMC and AR, the liver weight, liver index, ALT, AST, MDA and MAO were decreased (P<0.05), but GST was increased (P<0.05). Liver HE staining also showed less inflammatory cell infiltration and necrocytosis.ConclusionPMC can further destroy the liver function of ILI mice, while RA can produce certain protective effect.
