This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Baibu Tang on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. After intratracheally giving bleomycin(3. 5 mg/kg), mice were orally administered Baibu Tang once a day for 14 consecutive days, takingnintedanib as a positive control. The anti-fibrotic effects were assessed by the hydroxyproline level and the histopathological changes in H&E or Masson stained lung tissues. The results revealed that the lung coefficient, hydroxyproline content, inflammation and collagen deposition were increased significantly in the lung tissue of the model mice. Both ethanol and water extracts of Baibu Tang significantly improved all the pathological indexes in mice, but the effect of the ethanol extract was better than that of the water extract. Baibu Tang with Baibu(root of Stemona tuberosa)containing different components(neotuberostemonine, tuberostemonine and stemoninine, respectively)could significantly reduce hydroxyproline level and collagen deposition in the lung tissue of bleomycin-induced mice, and there was no significant difference in their activity. This result showed that the changes in the chemical composition of Stemona tuberosa(Baibu, monarch drug for Baibu Tang)have little effect on the anti-fibrosis activity of Baibu Tang, and its mechanism and material basis need further investigation.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2020;43(8):696-701
Objective:To investigate the clinical significance and correlation between blood glucose variability and cognitive impairment in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome.Methods:A total of 80 elderly metabolic syndrome patients and 50 healthy controls in Chinese People′s Armed Police Corps Hospital in Sichuan Province from December 2017 to March 2019 were selected as study group and control group respectively, and the difference of general data and biochemical indicators between two groups were compared. The cognitive function of the metabolic syndrome patients was measured by Montreal cognitive assessment scale (MoCA) at admission. The patients were divided into cognitive dysfunction group and normal cognition group according to MoCA score. The glycemic variability was detected by 72-h dynamic monitoring of blood glucose started within 24 h after admission, and the difference of average blood glucose (Glu Ave), standard deviation of glucose (Glu SD), mean amplitude of glycemic excursions in 24 h (MAGE), glycemic index (GLI), glucose variability (Glu CV) and other indicators between cognitive dysfunction group and normal cognition group were also compared. Results:The levels of body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterin (LDL-C), glycated hemoglobin (HbA 1c) were significantly increased in the study group [(25.48 ± 3.86) kg/m 2 vs. (22.83 ± 4.60) kg/m 2, (139.09 ± 10.17) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (128.12 ± 7.8) mmHg, (73.00 ± 6.65) mmHg vs. (69.90 ± 5.99) mmHg, (9.12 ± 1.54) mmol/L vs. (4.92 ± 0.63) mmol/L, (2.17 ± 0.49) mmol/L vs. (1.70 ± 0.48) mmol/L, (5.32 ± 0.62) mmol/L vs. (4.61 ± 0.45) mmol/L, (3.05 ± 0.79) mmol/L vs. (2.31 ± 0.53) mmol/L, (7.89 ± 1.92)% vs. (5.30 ± 0.56)%], high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were significantly decreased in the study group [(0.98 ± 0.25) mmol/L vs. (1.19 ± 0.43) mmol/L] compared to the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The disease course, HbA 1c, Glu Ave, Glu SD, MAGE, GLI, Glu CV were markedly increased in the cognitive dysfunction group compared to those in the normal cognition group [(7.39 ± 1.87) years vs. (6.50 ± 1.52) years, (8.52 ± 2.21)% vs. (7.32 ± 1.21)%, (11.6 ± 3.35) mmol/L vs. (9.84 ± 2.19) mmol/L, (2.98 ± 0.54) mmol/L vs. (2.17 ± 0.47) mmol/L, (1.19 ± 0.46) mmol/L vs. (0.71 ± 0.28) mmol/L, 95.83 ± 19.77 vs. 86.94 ± 15.22, (27.96 ± 10.38)% vs. (23.02 ± 8.16)%]( P<0.05). Logistic regression model showed that disease course, HbA 1c, Glu Ave, Glu SD, MAGE, GLI, Glu CV were independent risk factors for the cognitive impairment in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome.In addition, there were positive correlation between MoCA score and disease course, HbA 1c, Glu Ave, Glu SD, MAGE, GLI, Glu CV ( P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve demonstrated that GluSD>2.56 mmol/L [area under the curve (AUC)=0.897] or (and) MAGE>1.11 mmol/L (AUC = 0.821) may indicated the occurrence of cognitive impairment. Conclusions:Glu Ave, Glu SD, MAGE, GLI and Glu CV are all correlated with cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome, and Glu SD and MAGE may be considered as a potential maker for prediction of cognitive dysfunction.
