Objective: To explore psoriasis vulgaris efficacy of the narrow band UVB therapy combined with compound glycyrrhizin. Methods: The study made it clear diagnosis for patients admitted to our hospital 45 patients with psoriasis vulgaris were randomly divided into experimental group with 25 cases(narrow band UVB therapy combined with compound glycyrrhizin) and control group with 20 cases(only narrow-band UVB irradiation), in order to compare and analyze the treatment effect, the incidence of adverse reactions and symptoms before and after treatment PASI score recorded. Results: The difference was not statistically significant about PASI score of patients in the experimental group and the control group before treatment(t=0.153, P>0.05). But the difference of PASI score was statistically significant between two groups of patients after treatment(t=4.675, P<0.05). The effective rate of treatment in patients of the experimental group was 92%and 75%in the control group. The adverse symptoms in the experimental group and control group were 20% and 60% respectively. The differences were statistically significant (x2=47.908, P<0.05). Conclusion: Narrow band UVB combined with compound glycyrrhizin treatment of psoriasis with respect to only a narrow band ultraviolet therapy have significant therapeutic effect, and it can effectively reduce the incidence of adverse symptoms. It is worth popularizing in clinical.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of psoriasis treated with avermectin A and astragalus and detect the changes of TNF-a in serum. Preliminarily study the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory mechanism of avermectin A and astragalus in the treatment of psoriasis. Methods 20 patients were randomly recruited into a control group (9 cases) and a treatment group (11 cases). Another 20 healthy people were recruited for comparison. The control group was administrated with avermectin A orally, 0.2±0.6 mg/kg·d, with the symptoms turning better, reduced the dosage till the recovery, the treatment group was injected with astragalus injection on the therapeutic basis of the control group. Detect and compare the levels of TNF-α in the serum of the patients with psoriasis before and after the treatment in both groups, then make a contrast to the healthy people. Results 20 patients got clinical cure. The level of TNF-α in the serum of healthy persons is 11.7± 6.7 ng/L, and the level of TNF-α in the serum of psoriasis patients before treatment is (45.4±12.4) ng/L and (46.4±16.9) ng/L in the treatment group and the control group respectively. Compared with healthy control group, the difference is significant. After treatment, is the TNF-αlevels dropped to (13.8± 5.4) ng/L and (20.9±6.3) ng/L in the treatment group and the control group respectively, showing no significant difference compared with healthy control group. The difference between the two group is also significant. Conclusion The efficacy of treating psoriasis with avermectin A and astragalus is better than using avermectin A exclusively. The mechanism may lie in its inhibiting the formation of TNF-α and so thus exerting the anti-inflammatory and immune regulatory functions.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D), by observing the effects of moxibustion at Tianshu (ST25) and Shangjuxu (ST37) on microRNA-133b (miRNA-133b), pituitary homeobox family factor 3 (Pitx3)/tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), and neurotransmitters in the brain tissue of IBS-D rats. Methods: Healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a moxibustion group, and a Western medicine group, with 12 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the IBS-D rat model was established by mother-offspring separation and acetic acid enema combined with restraint stress stimulation in all the other groups. No intervention was performed in the normal and model groups. Mild moxibustion was applied to both Tianshu (ST25) and Shangjuxu (ST37) in the moxibustion group. Rifaximin was given by gavage in the Western medicine group. The physical status of rats in each group was observed at different periods. After the intervention, hematoxylin- eosin staining was performed to observe the histopathological morphology of rat colon; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the levels of dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NE), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in plasma, colon, and midbrain tissue of rats; the relative expression levels of miRNA-133b, Pitx3 mRNA, and TH mRNA in the midbrain tissue were measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and the relative expression levels of Pitx3 and TH proteins in the midbrain tissue were measured by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Results: The body weights of rats among groups and at different time points were statistically different (P<0.01). The body weight of the normal group was higher than that of the other groups over time (P<0.01). After modeling, the minimum volume threshold of abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) was significantly lower (P<0.01) and the loose stool rate was significantly higher (P<0.01) in the model, moxibustion, and Western medicine groups compared with the normal group; the miRNA-133b expression in the midbrain tissue was significantly lower (P<0.01), the expression levels of Pitx3 and TH in the midbrain tissue were significantly higher (P<0.01), and the levels of DA, NE, and 5-HT in plasma, colon and midbrain tissue were significantly higher (P<0.01). After the intervention, the minimum volume threshold of AWR was significantly higher (P<0.01), the loose stool rate was significantly lower (P<0.01), the miRNA-133b expression was significantly increased (P<0.01 or P<0.05) and the expression levels of Pitx3 and TH were significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the midbrain tissue, the levels of DA, NE, and 5-HT in plasma, colon, and midbrain tissue were significantly reduced (P<0.01) in the moxibustion and Western medicine groups compared with the model group; the levels of 5-HT in the colon and midbrain tissue of the moxibustion group were significantly lower than those in the Western medicine group (P<0.05), and there was no statistical difference compared with the remaining groups (P>0.05). Linear correlation analysis showed that miRNA-133b was negatively correlated with Pitx3 (r<0, P<0.01); Pitx3 with TH, TH with DA, and NE with 5-HT were positively correlated (r>0, P<0.01).Conclusion: Moxibustion at Tianshu (ST25) and Shangjuxu (ST37) improves diarrhea symptoms and visceral hypersensitivity in IBS-D rats. The mechanism may be related to up-regulating miRNA-133b, inhibiting Pitx3/TH, and reducing neurotransmitter expression levels in the midbrain tissue.
