Clinical observation, pathological therapeutic effects, and changes of enteroscopic sign , serum immunoglobin, complement C3, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) and lipid peroxide (LPO) before and after treatment were observed. Results indicated that in the treatment group, the total effective rate was 93. 80%, the therapeutic effects for enteroscopy and pathology were 81. 30% and 84. 40% respectively, and serum immunoglobin, complement Cs, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and lipid peroxide (LPO) were improved or inhibited, with significant difference compared with the control group (P

Objective To evaluate the influence Qizhu decoction on VEGF and its receptor KDR/flk-1 protein expression in MGC803 cell. Methods Four groups of MGC-803 Cells were established, and intervened with blank control, DMSO control, high dose Qizhu decoction, and low dose Qizhu decoction respectively. VEGF and KDR/flk-1 protein were detected by flow cytometry and western bloting. Results The value of VEGF expression was 120.0±10.8, 116.8±14.7, 95.0±12.5, and 108.4±13.5 respectively in each group. The difference between high dosage Qizhu decoction group and the bland control group was significant. Value of KDR/flk-1 were 10.4±3.5, 9.0±3.4, 6.8±2.3, and 6.8±3.5 in each group respectively. There was no significant difference among these 4 groups. The grayseale values of VEGF expression was 14.45±4.61, 12.32±3.27, 2.58±0.84, and 3.45±1.12 in each group respectively. There was significant difference between the QiZhu groups and the blank control group. Meanwhile grayseale values of KDR/flk-1 expression were 3.87±1.05, 3.55±1.32, 3.62±1.01, and 3.73±0.88 in each group respectively, showing no significant difference among 4 groups. Conclusion Rough extraction of QiZhu decoction down-regulated the protein expression of VEGF, but had no effects on the expression of KDR/flk-1.

[Objective] To investigate professor SHAN Zhaowei's experience of diagnosing and treating bile reflux gastritis(BRG). [Method] The experience of Professor SHAN Zhaowei on recognition of etiology and pathogenesis, treatment principle, characteristics of prescription selection and administration of BRG is summarized and studied. Besides his academic ideas and clinical medication experience are shown with typical cases. [Result] In his view, emotional disorder is the most common etiology, and liver-stomach disharmony is the basic pathogenesis. He puts forward that we should pay attention to dispersing the stagnated liver Qi, regulating the stomach to lower the adverse flow of Qi when we treat it, and emphasizes the combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation. Meanwhile, herbs of protecting gastric mucosa are compatibly used to improve the curative effect. And the case in this article has obtained good treatment results. [Conclusion] Pro. SHAN Zhaowei thinks that emotional regulation to patency for patients is very important. The dispersing the stagnated liver Qi, regulating the stomach and protecting gastric mucosa treatment proposed by SHAN Zhaowei is smart, simple and effective, which embodies the characteristic of his healing and MengHe Medicine.

This study was aimed to observe the therapeutic effect and mechanism ofQi-Zhu Er-Zhu Er-Cao Tang(QZEZECT) in the treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) precancerous lesion. A total of 56 clean grade healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. In the negative control group (NC), model group,Wei-Fu-Chun(WFC) group,Ren-Zhu Jian-Wei Ke-Li(RZJWKL, RZ) group, there were 10 rats in each group. In the high-dose QZEZECT (QZ-H) group and low-dose QZEZECT (QZ-L) group, there were 8 rats in each group. CAG/PLGC model was established by MNNG in the model group, WFC group, RZ group, QZ-H group and QZ-L group. Intragastric administration of corresponding decoctions at the dose of 0.39 g·kg-1, 3.2 g·kg-1, 54.4 g·kg-1, 13.6 g·kg-1 were given to rats in the WFC, RZ, QZ-H and QZ-L groups once a day for 28 consecutive days, respectively. The same volume of normal saline was given to the NC group and the model group. Histomorphological changes of gastric mucous membrane in rats of each group were observed. Expressions of NF-κB/p65 and CyclinE protein were detected. The results showed that compared with the NC group, the degrees of infiltration and dysplasia and expressions of NF-κB/p65 and CyclinE significantly increased in the model group with statistical significance (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of NF-κB/p65 and CyclinE in the WFC group reduced with statistical significance (P < 0.05). The expression of NF-κB/p65 and CyclinE in the RZ and QZ-L group obviously reduced with statistical significance (P < 0.01). The overall effective rates of WFC group, RZ group, QZ-H group and QZ-L group were 50%, 63.3%, 43.3% and 73.3%, respectively. It was concluded that QZEZECT can treat CAG precancerous lesion, which may take effect by improving and inhibiting pathologic changes of the transcription factor of inflammation.

Objective To observe the effect of JLP on transdifferentiation of human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2),and to investigate the role of p38 MAPK signaling pathway in this process.Methods The knock-down plasmids of JLP were constructed.HK-2 cells were randomly divided into four groups:negative control cells (Ctrl-shRNA group),knock-down jlp cells (jlpshRNA group),negative control cells with FGF-2 treatment (FGF-2 group) and knock-down jlp cells with FGF-2 treatment(jlp-shRNA +FGF-2 group).The expressions of JLP,E-cadherin,TGF-β1,α-SMA,p-p38 MAPK protein were detected by Western blotting.After the induction of FGF-2 for 24 hours,the expressions of α-SMA,COL-Ⅰ,FN were detected by immunocytochemistry.Results Compared with Ctrl-shRNA group,the expression of JLP protein was significantly down-regulated in FGF-2 group.Compared with FGF-2 group,the expressions of TGF-β1,α-SMA,p-p38 MAPK protein were significantly up-regulated,while E-cadherin protein was significantly down-regulated (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with FGF-2 group,the expressions of α-SMA,COL-Ⅰ,FN immunostaining increased markedly in jlp-shRNA+FGF-2 group.Conclusion Scaffolding protein JLP is critical in preventing EMT in the course of fibrosis through the inhibition of p-p38 activation in HK-2 cells.

As one of the non-invasive imaging techniques, myocardial perfusion imaging provides a basis for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia in coronary heart disease. Aiming at the bull-eye image in myocardial perfusion imaging, this paper proposed a branching structure, which included multi-layer transposed convolution up-sampling concatenate module and four-channel weighted channels attention module, and the output results of the branch structure were fused with the output results of trunk U-Net, to achieve accurate segmentation of the cardiac ischemia missing degree in myocardial perfusion bull-eye image. The experimental results show that the multi-layer transposed convolution up-sampling concatenate module realizes the fusion of different depth feature maps, and effectively reduces the interference of the severe sparse degree which is similar to the missing degree on the segmentation. Four-channel weighted attention module can further improve the ability to distinguish between the two similar degrees and the ability to learn edge details of the targets, and retain more abundant edge details features. The experimental data came from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin TEDA Hospital, Tianjin First Central Hospital and Third Central Hospital. The Jaccard scores in the self-built dataset was 5.00% higher than that of U-Net. The model presented in this paper is superior to other optimized models based on U-Net, and the subjective evaluation meets the accuracy requirements for clinical diagnosis.
