摘要:Seasonal influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease that is easy to spread among people. Seasonal influenza virus can spread all over the world and can infect people of any age group. The epidemic of seasonal influenza has brought a huge disease burden and economic burden to the world. The thought of “Preventive treatment of disease” in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has important guiding significance for the prevention of infectious diseases represented by seasonal influenza. In order to standardize TCM prevention method of seasonal influenza and to form a local expert consensus, this research conducted three rounds of expert surveys as well as enquiries anonymously through Delphi method, optimizing and enriching the questionnaire items gradually. Finally, consensus was reached on 26 items of prevention and treatment of seasonal influenza in two parts, namely community residents and medical institutions, and the “TCM prevention scheme for seasonal influenza (Shanghai)” was initially formed.

摘要:Focusing on the important issues of the discipline of “disease syndrome correlation, formula syndrome correspondence”, the research idea of “disease-syndrome-effect” was once proposed. Nearly two decades of research practice shows that this should be one of the effective ways to realize the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine. Making full use of the research results of modern medicine and life science, studying the correlation between syndrome pathogenesis and “disease and formula”, and clarifying the pathological basis of disease formula and syndrome are the key scientific issues in syndrome research. Based on the results of previous studies, the authors analyzed the anti-liver fibrosis effects of Yiqi Buxu Huangqi Decoction, which are characterized by inhibiting the transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs)into myofibroblasts, and hepatic progenitor cells(HPCs)into bile duct epithelial cells, as well as regulating the abnormal metabolism of bile acids. The key pathological basis of Qi deficiency pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis deduced from the effect basis of effective formulas may be related to the abnormal transdifferentiation of HSCs and HPCs (changes of cell shape and function) and abnormal bile acid metabolism. It provides a development idea for the combination of “disease-formula (effect)-syndrome” to explore the pathobiological basis of the pathogenesis of traditional Chinese medicine formulas and syndromes, and to discover the new uses of classical formulas.

摘要:Objective: The changes of moisture and texture characteristics in the moistening process of Moutan Cortex were quantitatively characterized, so as to explore the scientific connotation of the traditional experience of Moutan Cortex moistening.MethodsThe dynamic change of water absorption during the moistening process of Moutan Cortex was evaluated by the water absorption kinetics curve. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance technology was used to analyze the changes of water phase and distribution state during the moistening process of Moutan Cortex. The changes of texture characteristics of Moutan Cortex during moisturizing were measured by texture analyzer. HPLC was used to determine the content changes of active ingredients in the moisturizing process of Moutan Cortex.ResultsThe water absorption rate was increased with the increment of the moistening temperature, and was decreased with the increasing grade of the medicinal material. The water absorption kinetic model of different grades of Moutan Cortex at 10~30 ℃ was established to predict the water absorption rate of different moisturizing time at different temperatures. During the moistening process, the proportion of bound water and free water changed continuously, within 5 h, the proportion of bound water in high-grade Moutan Cortex was decreased from 92.8% to 14.3%, and the proportion of free water was increased from 7.2% to 85.7%, after 7 h, all was transformed into free water. Low field nuclear magnetic resonance imaging showed that water had evenly infiltrated inside the Moutan Cortex after moistening for 5 h and there was no dry core inside at this time. The analysis of texture characteristics showed that the hardness and compression work were decreased with the increase of moistening time, the hardness was decreased from 3612 g to 444 g and the compression work were decreased from 208 mJ to 23 mJ within 5 h, at which time the hardness of the medicinal material was moderate, and the texture characteristics tended to be stable after 5 h. The contents of paeonol and paeoniflorin were decreased gradually with the extension of moistening time, indicating that the longer moistening time, the more loss of medicinal substances.ConclusionWater absorption kinetics combined with modern technologies such as low-field nuclear magnetic resonance and texture analyzer can quantitatively characterize the moistening process of Moutan Cortex, which can provide data support for the judgment of the end point of Moutan Cortex moistening and process optimization.
摘要:Objective: To investigate the role of delta-opioid receptor (DOR) in electroacupuncture (EA) against retinal cell necroptosis caused by retinal ischemia-reperfusion induced by high intraocular pressure (HIOP).MethodsFifty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: blank control group, HIOP 6 h group, HIOP 12 h group, HIOP 24 h group and HIOP 72 h group. PI staining was used to detect the number of necroptotic cells in rats’ retina at the above timings, and Western blot was used to detect the expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3. Another fifty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: blank control group, HIOP group, EA+HIOP group, sham EA+HIOP group, and DOR antagonist+HIOP+EA group. Except for the blank control group, HIOP was used in the other groups to induce retinal ischemia-reperfusion in rats, and the ischemia lasted for 1 h, then reperfused for 24 h. DOR antagonist+HIOP+EA group received intravitreal injection of DOR antagonist Naltrindole 1 h before ischemia. At the beginning of reperfusion and 12 h after reperfusion, EA was performed at acupoints “Shuigou” and “Jingming” twice, 30 min each time. 24 h after reperfusion, the number of necroptotic cells in retina was detected by PI staining, and the expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3 were detected by Western blot.ResultAfter HIOP for 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 72 h, the number of retinal necroptotic cells was increased significantly, and reached a peak at 12 h. The protein expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3 in the retina were also significantly increased, and the peak of p-Rip1 expression appeared at 12 h and the expression of p-Rip3 was the highest at 24 h. After 24 h of reperfusion, the number of necroptotic cells and the protein expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3 in the EA+HIOP group were all significantly lower than those in the HIOP group. Compared with the HIOP group, there was no significant difference in the number of necroptotic cells or the protein expressions of p-Rip1 and p-Rip3 in the sham EA+HIOP group and the DOR antagonist+HIOP+EA group.ConclusionIn retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by HIOP, EA at acupoints “Shuigou” and “Jingming” can significantly reduce retinal cell necroptosis and protect the retina, and the anti-retinal cell necroptosis effect of EA may be closely related to DOR.

Compared with the model group, Qilongtian each dose group inhibit the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the expansion of alveolar space, and collagen deposition was significantly reduced in pirfenidone group and Qilongtian each dose group (P<0.05, P<0.01). ② Compared with the control group, the content of HYP in the model group increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the content of HYP in pirfenidone group and Qilongtian each dose group decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ③ Compared with the control group, the protein and mRNA expression level of COL-Ⅰ, COL-Ⅲ, α-SMA, TGF-β, TNF-α in the model group increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the protein and mRNA expression levels of COL-Ⅰ, COL-Ⅲ, α-SMA, TGF-β, TNF-α in pirfenidone group and Qilongtian each dose group decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ④Transcriptome sequencing analysis of mice lung tissues in the blank group and model group showed that differential genes were significantly enriched in IL-17/p38MAPK signaling pathway. ⑤Compared with the control group, the expression levels of CCL2, FOSL1, MMP9, CXCL5, AREG mRNA and IL-17R, p-p38MAPK protein increased in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of CCL2, FOSL1, MMP9, CXCL5, AREG mRNA and IL-17R, p-p38MAPK protein decreased in pirfenidone group and Qilongtian each dose group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Meanwhile, the effects of Qilongtian on the above mRNA and protein expression were dose-dependent, and high dose was more effective.ConclusionQilongtian can intervene pulmonary fibrosis by down regulating the expression of inflammation, collagen genes and proteins, alleviate pulmonary inflammatory response, reducing excessive deposition of pulmonary collagen, and its mechanism may be through inhibition of IL-17/p38MAPK signal pathway.

摘要:The concept of Zang-fu in the theory of Zang-xiang in tradional Chinese medicine(TCM), some do not have modern anatomical attributes, while some are related to the physical organs and objective functions, that is, “Xing-zang”. Although the theory of Xing-zang TCM has certain anatomical properties, it is still quite different from modern anatomy. Under the background of the rapid development of modern imaging diagnosis technology, it is of great practicality and necessity to promote the theoretical study of Xing-zang in TCM. We should face up to the widespread anatomical properties of human viscera and organs, and treat the “Shen-zang” with non-anatomical attributes differently; in the understanding of “Xing-zang”, we can learn from modern anatomical achievements, and carry out TCM pathomorphological research, as well as develop TCM empirical medicine theory within feasible scope.

摘要:Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence and qi⁃blood are the basic substances that constitute human body and maintain human life activities. Although Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence and qi⁃blood have been described separately, the relationship between the two is rarely discussed. The syndromes and treatments of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction are analyzed through “medicine group method”, the pathogenesis was proved backward by formula treatment (i.e. “Inferring syndromes with formulas”) according to the related theory of formula and syndrome,then the relationship between Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence and qi⁃blood are discussed. It is considered that Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence are derived from the middle jiao, and the upper jiao is pneumatized after the upper spleen is transfused into the heart and lung, and transformed into qi and blood, i.e. “The middle jiao receives qi, takes the juice and transforms into red liquid called blood”. Therefore, Ying-nutrients and Wei-defence are from the middle jiao, change in the upper jiao, with qi and blood homologous but different quality.

Syndrome is a complex and multi-dimensional concept which is affected by many kinds of factors. It is quite consistent with the theory of complex giant system, so it is suitable to use the theory of complex giant system to study the speculative procedure of syndrome and pathogenesis. This paper conducts a comprehensive and in-depth conception exploration through discussing the theory, method and feasibility of using the complex giant system theory to study the speculative procedure of TCM syndrome differentiation and pathogenesis exploration. Through the investigations on the brief introduction of speculative procedure of TCM syndrome differentiation and pathogenesis exploration, the general situation of using modern scientific methods to study TCM syndrome differentiation, the design of using complex giant system to study the speculative procedure of TCM syndrome differentiation and pathogenesis exploration and its prospects, the rationality of the speculative procedure of syndrome and pathogenesis researched by complex giant system theory is analyzed. Using the theory of complex giant system to study the speculative procedure of TCM syndrome differentiation and pathogenesis exploration has feasibility and practical value for the research of TCM syndrome differentiation and pathogenesis theory.
