Objective To observe the clinical effect ofTongfu-Xiefei decoction for the patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with phlegm-heat syndrome.Methods A total of 78 AECOPD patients were selected from June 2015 to December 2016 in the respiratory department of our hospital, and the patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the random number table method, 39 patients in each group. The control group was treated with convertional western medicine and placebo decoction. Treatment group was treated with convertional western medicine and true decoction. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks and fellowed up for 4 weeks. The symptoms score, SGRQ scores, blood gas analysis were observed and analyzed. The clinical curative effect and adverse evevts were observed.Results After treatment, the symptom cough (2.34 ± 1.11vs. 2.67±1.05,t=2.277), expectoration (1.91 ± 1.41vs. 2.35 ± 1.83, t=2.106), asthmoid (1.73 ± 1.15vs. 2.04 ± 1.53,t=2.214) scores in the treatment group were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). The SGRQ scores (42.47 ± 17.24vs. 59.95 ± 17.58,t=2.112) in the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate in the treatment group was 91.9% (34/37) and 84.4% in the control group (27/32). The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.578,P=0.040).Conclusions TheTongfu-Xiefei decoction can effectively alleviate the symptoms and signs, improve the blood gas analysis index, and the long-term curative effect for AECOPD patients with phlegm-heat syndrome.

Objective To study the interventional effect of Yangyin Yiqi Heji (Yin-nourishing Qireplenishing Mixture) to alveolus epithelial-mesenchymal transition in rats with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.Methods Wistar rats in SPF class (n=120) were randomly divided into normal group, model group, prednisone group and low-dose, mid-dose and high-dose Yangyin Yiqi Heji groups.The rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was copied by using intratracheal instillation of bleomycin, and all groups were orally given corresponding medicinals for 28 d after modeling for 1 d.The rats were executed respectively on the 14th d and 28th d to collect lung samples for detection of left lung pathological changes by using HE and Masson staining.The mRNA expressions ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) , E-cadherin, collagen I (Col I) and laminin (LN) were detected in rigth lung by using real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results The mRNA expressions ofα-SMA, Col I and LN increased, and E-cadherin expressions decreased in model group compared with normal group (P<0.05).After treatment, the mRNA expressions ofα-SMA, Col I and LN decreased, and mRNA expression of E-cadherin increased in all treatment groups (P<0.05).On the 28 th d, mRNA expression of E-cadherin increased in high-dose Yangyin Yiqi Heji group compared with prednisone groups (P<0.05) , and mRNA expression of LN deecresed in high-dose, mid-dose and low-dose Yangyin Yiqi Heji groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Yangyin Yiqi Heji can inhibit the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in rats with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and the mechanism may be related to down-regulation of genes ofα-SMA, Col I and LN and up-regulation of E-cadherin gene.

Objective: To study the relaxant effect and underlying mechanisms of evodiamine on isolated myometrium of rats. Methods:Prostaglandin F2α( PGF2α) was used to induce isolated myometrium contraction. The relaxant effect of evodiamine and the influence of capsazepine (an antagonist of transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1, TRPV1), U73122 (an antagonist of phospholipase Cβ,PLCβ) and W-7 ( an antagonist of camodulin, CaM) on the relaxant effect of evodiamine on myometri-um were observed respectively by biological function experiments. The median effective concentration ( EC50 ) was analyzed by non-line-ar various slope regressions using Prism-5. 01 software. Results:Evodiamine showed concentration-dependent relaxant effect on PGF2α-induced myometrium contraction with the EC50of 9.56 ×10 -9mol·L-1. Incubation with capsazepine (6.30 ×10 -11 mol·L-1), U73122 (2. 57 × 10 -11 mol·L-1 ) and W-7 (5. 65 × 10 -13 mol·L-1 ) markedly increased the relaxant effect of evodiamine, the EC50 of evodiamine decreased and dose-effect curves left shifted. The order of EC50 was as follows: W-7- evodiamine (8. 88 × 10 -15 mol· L-1) < capsazepine-evodiamine (7.35 ×10 -13 mol·L-1) < U73122-evodiamine (1.95 ×10 -12mol·L-1). Conclusion: Evodia-mine can inhibit myometrium contraction induced by PGF2αobviously, and the mechanisms are probably related to TRPV1, PLCβand CaM.
