This study was designed to investigate the effect of salidroside on Sjogren's syndrome in mice and its mechanism.Mice in negative control group and model group were given normal saline intragastric administration,mice in 3 salidroside groups were given salidroside intragastric administration(doses of 20,40 and 80 mg/kg),and mice in positive control group were given hydroxychloroquine sulfate(100 mg/kg)intragastric administration once a day.After continuous intragastric administration for 8 weeks,water intake and saliva flow rate were detected,infiltrated submandibular gland lymphocytes were evaluated,the levels of IL-17,IL-10,NF-κB P65 and IκBα and the ratio of Th17/Treg cells were detected.In the model group,the acinus atrophied with unclear margin and decreasing in number,and the lymphocyte infiltration were observed and lymphocyte focus was formed.After the intervention with salidroside and hydroxychloroquine sulfate,the degree of acinus lesions was relieved to a certain extent,and the lymphocyte infiltration was reduced.Compared with negative control group,water intake,salivary flow rate,submandibular gland index,IL-10 and IκBα levels were decreased in other groups,while lymphocyte infiltration,the levels of IL-17,IL-17/IL-10,NF-κB P65 and NF-κB P65/IκBα were increased(P<0.05).Compared with model group,water intake,salivary flow rate,submandibular gland index,IL-10 and IκBα levels were increased in each salidroside dose group,while submandibular gland lymphocyte infiltration,the levels of IL-17,IL-17/IL-10,NF-κB P65 and NF-κB P65/IκBα decreased in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05).Compared with the negative control group,the proportion of Th17 cells in the serum of model group was increased,and the proportion of Treg cells was decreased,while salidroside in all doses could reverse these changes(P<0.05).Taken together,salidroside alleviates submandibular gland inflammatory responses by mediating Th17/Treg immune balance and inhibiting NF-κB P65/IκBα,thus playing a therapeutic role in SS treatment.

Sepsis brings great burden to the industry of health care and national economy, and antibiotics used in anti-infective treatment will cause the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, adverse reactions, and reduce the efficacy and quality of life. However, with the deepening of the study of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of sepsis, in reducing the production of drug-resistant bacteria, changing the drug resistance of drug-resistant bacteria, preventing multiple infection, response to inflammatory response and immune damage, treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction and coagulation disorders, TCM is gradually exerting its advantages. In recent years, with the continuous development of clinical research, the curative effect of traditional Chinese medical way is widely recognized, especially Xuebijing injection. In addition, the clinical research of Chinese medicine, acupuncture, acupoint sticking is more and more. Its play an important role to reduce the mortality of patients with sepsis, reduce inflammatory indexes, blood coagulation index. However, the pathophysiology of sepsis is not clear, the illness progress rapidly and the problem of drug-resistant bacteria resistant, our task is still arduous. Looking forward to the emergence of higher quality research, and looking forward to more individualized and refined treatment programs.
