Objective To observe the effects of Qingfei Chengqi decoction on lung tissue cell apoptosis and its associated protein,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)of lung tissues in rats with severe intra-peritoneal infection(SII). Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham operation group,model group and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)group(each n=10). Simulating clinical pathophysiological process of digestive tract perforation,the rat model of SII was reproduced by injecting E. coli intraperitoneally. The TCM group was treated by gavage with Qingfei Chengqi decoction one day in advance of the study,3 times per day,once 2 mL. The same amount of nutrient broth which contained 10%barium sulfate(BaSO4) to replace the bacteria solution was injected into the sham operation group. Six hours after model establishment,all rats were killed and lung tissues were harvested for pathohistological evaluation and for the determination of apoptosis rate with TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling(TUNEL)method,of Bax,Bcl-2 protein expression with Western Blot method,and of the level of TNF-α,IL-6 with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method,and the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed under the light and electron microscopes. Results Compared with sham operation group,the apoptosis rate〔(12.7±5.4)%vs. 0〕,the expression of Bax protein〔absorbance(A)value:8 416.89±875.16 vs. 6 654.09±1 130.18〕,the level of TNF-α(ng/L:3 132.56±457.96 vs. 1 948.55±269.32), the level of IL-6(ng/L:75.14±1.63 vs. 31.17±0.81)of lung tissues were significantly increased(all P<0.05), meanwhile Bcl-2 protein expression decreased observably(A value:7 490.59±200.34 vs. 12 289.02±535.93,P<0.05)in model group induced by SII. After treatment with TCM,apoptosis rate〔(7.9±0.3)%〕,the expression of Bax protein(A value:7 619.50±999.30),the level of TNF-α(ng/L:3 114.34±454.32)and IL-6(ng/L:52.46±0.96) of lung tissues were decreased and Bcl-2 protein expression(A value:11 155.07±1 018.87)increased(all P<0.05) compared with model group. General observation:the color of lung tissues was uniform in sham operation group;the lung tissues of model group swelled obviously,and parts of lung tissues had patches of ecchymosis and hemorrhage. The light microscope showed:the pulmonary vessels,the alveolar interstitium,alveolar epithelium and lobular interstitium of sham operation group were all normal,while in the model group,the pulmonary interstitium was edematous and hemorrhagic,and in the alveolar cavities there was infiltration of inflammatory cells. Under the electron microscope, the lung tissue type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells of model group were increased,and they had morphological changes in various degrees,such as cell shrinkage and change becoming round,and cell nucleus presenting irregular in shape. After treatment with TCM,the above pathological changes were all alleviated compared with those in the model group. Conclusions Qingfei Chengqi decoction can ameliorate the SII leading to acute lung injury,and reduce the cell apoptosis rate of lung tissues in SII rats. Its mechanism may be related to the intervention of above TCM which can lower the levels of inflammatory media and elevate the protein expression of Bcl-2.

Objective:To assess the quality of life (QOL) and cognition function in patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSAHS), and to study the relationship between the QOL and severity of OSAHS, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS),cognition disorders. Methods:Sixty-two patients with OSAHS and 32 non-OSAHS patients (control group) which all diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) were chosen from The First Hospital of Lanzhou University, and they were assessed by QOL using the Short-Form 36 Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36), by EDS using the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), and for cognition disorders by mini-mental state examination (MMSE).The associations between the total score on the SF-36 and the baseline characteristics, PSG parameters, such as ESS score, and MMSE score were examined by simple regression analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis.Results:The scores of SF-36 and MMSE in OSAHS group were significantly lower than the control group (63.9?14.7/78.8?4.5, 24.6?2.0/27.1?1.3,P

Objective To investigate the changes of the serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase- 2 (MMP-2) and peripheral blood leukocytes content and its relationship with the severity of cerebral infarction in acute cerebral in-farction(ACI)patients at different altitudes (high, middle and low). Methods One hundred thirty-nine cases and 150 healthy controls were included in the present study. Enzyme linked immunosorbent method was used to detect MMP-2 and WBC levels. Results MMP-2 levels increased as the altitude increased in controls. The MMP-2 in a descending or-der was 1.41±0.39 in Haixi (high altitude), 1.37±0.27 in Xining (middle altitude) and 1.28±0.21 in Sichuan (low altitude) (P<0.05). The serum levels of MMP-2 were significantly increased at 7 d at different altitudes (5.75±1.19, 5.23±1.12 and 4.15 ± 0.97 in low, middle and high altitudes, respectively). The WBC were significantly increased at different alti-tudes (12.93±2.11, 12.11±1.74 and 11.15±1.68 in low, middle and high altitudes, respectively) within 48 h in severe ACI group (P<0.05). MMP-2 levels in different altitudes were positively associated with the infarction size and the degree of neurological deficit, while were negatively correlated with the prognosis. The WBC in large infarction group were positive-ly correlated with the infarct size. Conclusions The levels of MMP-2 and WBC in different altitudes may be helpful in determining the ACI lesion size and the severity of the illness as well as estimating the prognosis.

Integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy for pancreatitis has been used since the 1960s.According to the clinical manifestations and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation of pancreatitis,pancreatitis was named true heart pain with cold limbs caused by spleen disease.Syndrome differentiation of acute pancreatitis and treatment with modified Dachaihu decoction achieved good clinical effects.After the 1990s,the research focus of pancreatitis research was shifted to severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).The clinical course of SAP was divided into three phases,and different therapeutic regimens were given.Clinical studies achieved good therapeutic effects in terms of cure rate and fatality rate.After 2000,integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy for chronic pancreatitis has been promoted systemically,and the cooperation between traditional Chinese medicine,endoscopic techniques,and operative treatment helps to significantly improve pain control,nutritional status,and incidence of complications.
