Through the map analysis of various metabolites in rat's urine, the biomarkers in syndrome suitable for Small Qing-Long Decoction (SQLD) were found out, which provided objective basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment. Based on the rat's urine nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrum detection of the blank control group, the model group and the SQLD group, the data come from the map by MestRenova pretreatment and integration were analyzed using SIMCA-P+ by (PLS-DA). Then, the corresponding scatter diagram and diagram of loading were re-ceived and the differences of metabolites were found out by the comparison . The results showed that compared with the blank control group, contents of creatinine, guanidinoacetic acid, trimethylamine, taurine, allantoin metabolites in the model group had elevated. And the contents of succinic acid, 2-OG, lactic acid, glycine, methyl nicotine metabolite had decreased. After medication, contents of creatinine, trimethylamine, allantoin, taurine of SQLD group were still higher than the blank control group. However, the contents were reduced compared with the model group. The content of lactic acid was lower than the blank control group, but higher than the model group. There was no statistical significance on changes of guanidinoacetic acid, 2-OG, N-nornicotine. It was concluded that substances found were mainly related to energy metabolism, inflammation and immune resistance, which was especially related to energy metabolism change obviously.

Objective To determine the endogenous metabolites in blood of rats with Xiaoqinglong Decoction Syndrome by using GC-MS;To provide evidence for researches on the essence of Xiaoqinglong Decoction Syndrome. Methods Totally 36 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank control group (10 rats), model group (13 rats), and Xiaoqinglong Decoction group (13 rats). Model group and Xiaoqinglong Decoction group were used to make the models of exogenous cold and internal fluid syndrome (Xiaoqinglong Decoction Syndrome). Rats in Xiaoqinglong Decoction group received gavage with Xiaoqinglong Decoction, while rats in blank control group received nothing. Blood of rats in the three groups was taken from the abdominal aorta and detected by GC-MS 15 days later, and analyzed by multivariate statistical analysis with PLS-DA. Results 13 kinds of biomarkers were found:lactic acid, 3-hydroxy-butyric acid, glycine, serine, lysine, dextrose, arachidonic acid and other metabolites. Conclusion Expressions of biomarkers, such as lactic acid and glycine, are energy metabolism, immune function, and inflammation, which provide material basis for researches on the essence of Xiaoqinglong Decoction Syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and clinical value of endoscopic decompression with metal stent and colorectal tube for acute malignant colorectal obstruction. Methods With the aid of fluoroscopy, 26 cases with acute malignant colorectal obstruction were treated. Their obstructive sites consisted of rectum(n=14), sigmoid colon(n=8), descending colon(n=2) and transverse colon(n=1). Results In 18 of 26 patients, metal stents were successfully inserted (18/20, 90%), in 6 cases colorectal tube were successfully inserted(6/6, 100%), the total technical success rate was 92. 3% (24/26). Thereafter, 1 patient has no effect, 23 patients showed relief of obstructive symptoms within 1-2 days, the clinical success rate was 88.5% (23/26). Permanent metal stent placements were performed in 13 cases for palliative treatment, 10 underwent subsequent elective surgical resection after 7 ~ 10 days, without complications, such as anastomotic leakage and intraperitoneal infection. One case was failed in recurrent rectal carcinoma after resection, one case with widespread metastatic sigmoid colon carcinoma occurred colon perforation and received immediate Hartmann operation. Recurrent obstruction was detected in one patient with distal stent migration within 6 weeks, and second stent were placed to solve the problems. Stent occlusion from stool impaction was found in one patient 1 month after stent insertion, and was solved by endoscpic interventions. Conclusion Endoscopic decompression with metal stent and colorectal tube can alleviate the acute malignant colorectal obstructive sympotoms with high success rate. It is a simple, safe, effective and well tolerated method, and can obviate colostomy, prominently reduce trauma and agony, and increase the living quality of patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of soothing liver and activating blood Chinese medicine on myocardial cell apoptosis and related gene expression of BMSCs transplanting on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of rats;To discuss its mechanism of protecting myocardium. Methods Model of myocardial IRI was established in rats. BMSCs were isolated, cultivated, and transplanted in IRI rats. SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, IRI group, BMSCs group, and combined group. Rats in combined group received gavage with soothing liver and activating blood Chinese medicine, while rats in other groups received gavage with the same dose of normal saline.

Objective:To explore the effect of Gubi Decoction on serum related inflammatory factors and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in osteoarthritis model rats. Methods:Seventy SPF rats were randomly divided into the blank group, sham operation group, Glucosamine sulfate group, and the low, medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups. Except the blank group and sham operation group, knee osteoarthritis animal models were prepared by the modified Hulth method in each group. On the 28th day after successful model preparation, the high, medium and low dose Gubi Decoction groups were given Gubi Decoction 24, 12 and 6 g/kg by gavage respectively; glucosamine sulfate group was given glucosamine sulfate tablet suspension 3 g/L by gavage, once a day for 28 days. The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum were detected by ELISA. The gene expressions of PI3K, Akt and mTOR in cartilage tissue were detected by Real-PCR. The protein expressions of PI3K, Akt, p-PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR were detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with the model group, the knee joint diameter[(11.17 ± 1.81) mm, (11.60 ± 1.38) mm, (10.80 ± 1.17) mm vs. (12.57 ± 0.98) mm] of the rats in the glucosamine sulfate group and the medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The content of TNF-α [(111.43 ± 21.98) ng/L, (53.42 ± 13.25) ng/L vs. (157.89 ± 23.60) ng/L], IL-1β [(67.50 ± 18.44) ng/L, (48.22 ± 9.63) ng/L vs. (96.11 ± 14.85) ng/L] in the medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the expression of PI3K (1.87 ± 0.17, 1.24 ± 0.49 vs. 2.19 ± 0.47), Akt (1.50 ± 0.51, 1.10 ± 0.32 vs. 2.68 ± 0.63), and mTOR (1.32 ± 0.54, 1.10 ± 0.33 vs. 2.94 ± 0.55) mRNA in the medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The expression of PI3K, Akt, p-PI3K, p-Akt in the low, medium and high dose Gubi Decoction groups significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the expression of mTOR in the medium dose Gubi Decoction group significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Gubi Decoction can significantly reduce the level of inflammatory factors in the serum of osteoarthritis model rats, and its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects may be related to PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
