OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the mechanism of the pulmonary injury in rats caused by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) and to investigate the intervention effect of Edaravone.
METHOD:
Ninety-six male Wistar rats were divided into four groups randomly: the control group (NC), chronic intermittent hypoxia group (CIH), chronic intermittent hypoxia normal saline matched group (NS), chronic intermittent hypoxia edaravone treatment group (NE). The four groups were also divided into 1, 2, 3, 4 W time subgroups, and each time subgroup had 6 rats. After the experiment, sections of pulmonary were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and the level of SOD, MDA, PO2 and Ang II mRNA in rat homogenate pulmonary were measured.
RESULT:
Pulmonary histology revealed that the CIH group showed high levels of interstitial edema, alveolar atelectasis, inflammatory cell infiltration of alveolar epithelial cell, pulmonary injury were serious in 1, 2, 3, 4 W. But the pulmonary histology of the UC group and the NS group was normal. Compared with the NS group, pulmonary injury of NE group 1, 2, 3, 4 W, significantly decreased. Compared with the NC group, the levels of PO2 in the CIH group were decreased; while the compared with the NS group, the levels of PO2 in the NE group were increased. Compared with the UC group and NS group, the levels of Ang II mRNA in each time point in CIH group were increased gradually (P < 0.05), the content of MDA were increased in 1, 2, 3, 4 W (P < 0.05), they had reached the peak all at 4 W; while the SOD in each time point in CIH group were decreased gradually (P < 0.05) compared with that in UC group and NS group; The Ang II mRNA levels of CIH in pulmonary showed positive correlation with MDA [r = 0.782,P < 0.01]; while the Ang II mRNA levels of CIH in pulmonary showed negative correlation with SOD [r = - 0.904, P < 0.01].
CONCLUSION
CIH can cause pulmonary injury through oxidative stress and activating Ang II, and Edaravone could prevent pulmonary injury induced by CIH through scavenging oxygen free radicals.

Objective:To explore the effect of dialectical diet on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score of cirrhotic ascites patients based on "Gu Ben Kai Qu" theory.Methods:From March 2019 to January 2020, 84 patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites admitted to Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of TCM were randomly divided into two groups according to the different dialectical types of the subjects, 14 cases in each group. Three non-syndrome differentiation diet groups were given routine nursing care of liver cirrhosis ascites. On the basis of routine nursing, the corresponding medicinal diet was selected according to syndrome differentiation based on "Gu Ben Kai Qu" theory. Patients with spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome selected Shenqi lean meat decoction. Patients with Yin deficiency of liver and kidney selected Wolfberry and ophiopogon spareribs decoction. Patients with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome selected Danggui Sanqi spareribs decoction. The TCM syndrome score scale for liver disease and the curative effect evaluation of cirrhosis ascites were used to evaluate the effect.Results:Eighty effective cases were included. On the first day of admission, the 14th day and the second week after discharge, the TCM syndrome scores of liver disease were as follows: the group (a1b1) with the spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome was 46.38±8.56, 34.20±8.42, 31.40±4.22, respectively. The group (a1b2) with the liver kidney yin deficiency syndrome was 41.50±8.71, 31.35±8.63, 31.12±4.94. The group(a1b3) with the qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome was 45.92±7.86, 35.17±7.57, 30.83±7.32, respectively. The non-syndrome differentiation diet group (a2b1) with the spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome was 46.29±8.38, 39.79±7.65, 36.64±6.83, respectively. The non-syndrome differentiation diet group (a2b2) with the liver and kidney yin deficiency syndrome was 40.50±8.12, 38.10±8.93, 35.38±8.24, respectively. The non-syndrome differentiation diet group (a2b3) with the qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome was 45.62±7.99, 41.83±7.31, 38.83±7.96, respectively. The comparison of TCM syndrome scores of liver disease at three time points was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 63.998, P<0.05), and the comparison between groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 20.993, P<0.05). On the 14th day and the second week after discharge, there were significant differences between the groups with the syndrome differentiation diet and another three groups with non-syndrome differentiation diet ( F values were 3.244, 3.489, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Based on the theory of "strengthening the foundation and opening channels", the syndrome differentiation group can effectively reduce the TCM syndrome score of patients with cirrhosis ascites, improve the symptoms and enhance the curative effect. With the development of time, the score of TCM syndrome in patients with liver disease become lower. On the 14th day of admission, patients with Yin deficiency of liver and kidney given medicated diets had significant effect; patients with spleen kidney yang deficiency syndrome or qi stagnation and blood stasis had significant effect in 2 weeks after discharge; which can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients with cirrhosis ascites to worthy of clinical application.
