Objective:To study the anti-inflammatory effect of immune milk. Method:Twenty four strains of pathogenic bacteria (including 12 strains of pathogenic E.coli, 8 strains of Salmonella, 3 strains of Shigella and 1 strain of Yersinia enterocolitica) originated from human intestinal tract were selected as antigens, and dairy cows were immunized. Results:Vaccination could not increase the concentration of IgG in the immune milk, but significantly highten the specificity of milk antibodies. The antibody titers against 24 pathogenic bacteria in immune milk was 128, 64 folds of control regular milk. Conclusion:Feeding of immune milk could inhibit edema of rat footpad induced by carrageenin and formaldehyde and the formation of acestoma of mice caused by cotton embedded hypophloedally. Meanwhile, the PGE2 level in inflammatory footpad of rat fed with immune milk was remarkably lower than that of rat fed with regular milk. These results indicate that immune milk has anti-inflammatory property.

Objective:To explore the relationship between abnormal ECG J wave and in‐hospital prognosis in patients with acute ST -segment elevation myocardial infarction (ASTEMI) .Methods :ECG and related clinical data of 204 ASTEMI patients ,who received emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in our hospital from Jan 2007 to Dec 2012 ,were retrospectively analyzed .According to the presence of abnormal J wave or not ,patients were di‐vided into abnormal J wave group (n= 82 ,occupied 40.2% ,82/204) and no abnormal J wave group (n= 122 , 59.8% ,122/204) .Single‐and multiple‐factor Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze risk factors of in -hospital death .Results:During hospitalization ,incidence rate of sustained ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation in pa‐tients with abnormal ECG J waves was significantly higher than those without abnormal J waves (9.8% vs .1.6% , P=0.008) , but among the 12 cases (5.9% ) of cardiac deaths ,only six cases had abnormal J waves .Logistic regres‐sion analysis indicated that abnormal ECG J wave cannot predict in‐hospital death of ASTEMI patients (OR=0.99 , 95% CI :0.34~ 2.90 , P= 0.987) ,while age can be regarded as an independent predictor factor for in‐hospital prognosis of these patients (OR = 1.08 ,95% CI :1.01 ~ 1.15 , P= 0.02) .Conclusion:For ASTEMI patients , though the incidence rate of sustained ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation in abnormal J wave group is significantly higher than those of without abnormal J waves group during hospitalization ,but abnormal ECG J waves cannot pre‐dict short-term prognosis of these patients .

Objective:To explore the predictive value of abnormal ECG J waves for arrhythmias occurred during short term in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (ASTEMI ) .Methods :ECG and echocardio‐graphic monitoring recordings of 204 ASTEMI patients who received emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in our hospital from Jan 2007 to Dec 2012 were retrospectively analyzed .Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the influencing factors of arrhythmias within one week after myocar‐dial infarction .Results:Abnormal J waves detected by ECG were found in 82 cases (40.2% ) among the 204 pa‐tients ,most of which were distributed on inferior leads of ECG .Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that abnormal J waves (OR=14.05 , P=0.01 ,95% CI 1.70~116.40) ,J waves distributed across ≥ two locations (OR=13.38 ,P=0.01 ,95% CI 1.53~38.68) and J wave amplitude≥0.2 mV (OR=4.28 ,P=0.02 ,95% CI 1.82~16.72) were independent predictors for sustained ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) ,but they cannot be used as predictors for occurrence of all ventricular arrhythmias ,including non‐sustained VT ,sustained VT and VF (P>0.05 all) ,nor the occurrence of atrial arrhythmias , P>0.05 all .Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that diabetes mellitus was an independent predictor for occurrence of ≥30s atrial tachycardia/fibrillation in ASTEMI patients (OR=2.29 ,P=0.047 ,95% CI 1.01~5.18) .Conclusion:Abnormal ECG J wave is an inde‐pendent predictor for occurrence of sustained ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation during short term after ASTEMI .

45 strains of Lactobacillus were isolated from 17 samples of traditional fermented milk in Gobi region of Mongolia. Based on morphological, physiological, biochemistry test and 16S rDNA sequencing analysis, identified as 31 strains of Lactobacillus fermentum(L. fermentum), 12 strains of L. helveticus, one strain of L. plantarum and one strain of L. casei. Survival rate of IMAU20085 is 81.44% in the screening experiment of resistance to the artificial gastric juice (pH 3.0). The isolation and identification of these strains and the screening of high acid-tolerant strains have important meaning to the preservation and exploitation of probiotic resource.

The treatment rules of point selection and treatment principles for treating chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) can be divided into three categories: regulating and replenishing, invigorating original yang and regulating zang-fu organs. The mechanism of moxibustion includes improving gut microbiota imbalance, regulating immune cell imbalance and correcting endocrine dysfunction. The moxibustion methods include ginger-partitioned moxibustion, thunder-fire moxibustion, warm acupuncture, and governor moxibustion. Acupuncture points such as Shenque (RN8), Guanyuan (RN4), Qihai (RN6), Zusanli (ST36), Baihui (DU20), Yongquan (KI1) and back-shu points are often selected to exert anti-chronic fatigue effects.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutical effects of visfatin and metformin on insulin resistance and reproductive endocrine disorder in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

METHODSForty female Wistar rats were divided into 4 equal groups, and in groups A, B and C, the rats were injected subcutaneously with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) for PCOS modeling, with group D as the blank control injected with soybean oil. Vaginal smears and serological testing were taken to assess the modeling. After the modeling, the rats in group A received 10 µg reorganized visfatin injection and those in group B were treated with metformin (14 mg/100 g) on a daily basis for 15 days. Serum levels of T, LH, FSH, FINS and blood glucose levels during OGTT were measured before and after the treatments, and HOMA-IR and LH to FSH ratio were calculated. The ovaries were then dissected for pathological examination.

RESULTSIn groups A and B, FINS, FPG, T, HOMA-IR and blood glucose levels during OGTT were significantly decreased after the treatments (P<0.05), which resulted in recovery of regular menses in 8 (80%) rats in group A and 7 (77.8%) rats in group B with the development of normal follicles. Visfatin and metformin produced equivalent therapeutic effects in improving the insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in PCOS rats.

CONCLUSIONVisfatin and metformin have equivalent therapeutic effects in improving insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism and in promoting the recovery of regular menses and development of normal follicles in PCOS rats.

Objective:To explore the curative efficacy of Dingke Decoction in the treatment of post infectious cough based on the the real-world clinical data.Methods:Retrospective cohort study was conducted. 245 patients with cough after infection in the hospital of Jingan Chinese Medical Hospital from July 2021 to July 2022 were set as study objects. The fact that whether the patients with Dingke Decoction or not were divided into control group (90 cases, without Dingke Decoction) and treatment group (155 cases, with Dingke Decoction). By using propensity nearest neighbor 1:1 matching to balance the confounding factors before treatment, 56 cases were successfully matched in both groups. The control group was treated symptomatically according to the actual clinical situation, while the treatment group was treated with modified Dingke Decoction on the basis of symptomatic treatment in the control group. The treatment for both groups lasted for 2 weeks. TCM symptom scores and cough severity score were evaluated using the Leicester Cough Quality of Life Questionnaire (LCQ) before and after treatment. Levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected through ELISA; adverse reactions during the treatment were recorded, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate of the treatment group was 91.07% (51/56), while that of the control group was 76.79% (43/56), with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.24, P=0.040). The daytime cough symptom score (1.03 ± 0.67 vs. 1.20 ± 0.66, t=7.40) and nighttime cough symptom score (0.74 ± 0.62 vs. 1.26 ± 0.54, t=6.27) in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group after treatment ( P<0.001). After treatment, the LCQ physiological (5.30 ± 0.79 vs. 4.78 ± 1.09, t=-2.44), psychological (5.33 ± 0.92 vs. 4.70 ± 1.12, t=-2.39), and social (5.23 ± 0.94 vs. 4.60 ± 0.81, t=-2.86) scores in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, he treatment group serum IL-6 [(14.29 ± 3.94) ng/L vs. (19.99 ± 5.17) ng/L, t=4.80] and TNF-α [(36.23 ± 7.83) ng/L vs. (42.44 ± 7.63) ng/L, t=3.11] were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions in the control group was 8.92% (5/56) and 5.36% (3/56), respectively, without statistical significance ( χ2=0.54, P=0.716). Conclusion:Based on the real-world research method, medicine Dingke Decoction can improve the clinical efficacy and the quality life of post infectious cough patients, and the mechanism may be related to reducing airway inflammation response.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) external therapy for sleep disorder of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has good anti-fatigue effect and can improve sleep quality of patients. The treatment for sleep disorders of CFS with TCM external treatment mainly adopts acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, TCM bath, transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation and auricular point sticking, etc., or alone, or comprehensive application, or combined with oral Chinese materia medica. The appropriate treatment method can be selected according to the patients' condition and compliance, which reflects the unique advantages of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment and the treatment according to people and time. The existing research still needs to further form a standardized and recognized diagnosis and treatment system, so as to better guide clinical popularization and application.

Oligozoospermia and asthenospermia are common causes of clinical male infertility. The number of patients increases year by year and shows a younger trend. Its etiology is complex， the mechanism and unclear pathogenesis and rely on empirical therapy. Therefore， it is necessary for exploring the pathogenesis and developing corresponding drugs to establish reasonable animal models. By comparing different animal model making methods， this paper provides ideas for constructing a more standardized animal model of oligoasthenospermia. At the moment， a lot of molding methods for oligoasthenospermia are available. Combined with the animal experimental articles of oligoasthenospermia in recent years， this study described the modeling with adenine， ornidazole， tripterygium glycoside， hydrocortisone， cyclophosphamide， busulfan， paclitaxel， heat stress， ionizing radiation， high-fat diet， and gene knockout， respectively， and compared the modeling methods in terms of the time， indexes， animal line， and model evaluation. Thereby， the advantages and disadvantages of different models of oligoasthenospermia were summarized， and finds that the existing animal models of oligoasthenospermia still have many shortcomings that need to be further improved. The selection， standardization and innovation of animal models need to be solved urgently， and the coincidence between animal models and clinical patients' traditional Chinese medicine syndromes is not coincident. In view of the existing problems， we should further explore how to build a modeling method in line with clinical characteristics and syndrome types， select the compound model method of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine， copy the model closer to the law of disease development and in line with traditional Chinese medicine syndrome， and provide animal experimental support for exploring the mechanism of disease， developing characteristic drugs and guiding clinical medication.
