Objective: To observe the efficacy of acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointment in the treatment of functional dyspepsia due to liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency and its effect on serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and ghrelin contents. Methods: One hundred patients with functional dyspepsia due to liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency were divided into a treatment group and a control group by the random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. The treatment group received acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointment and the control group was treated with mosapride citrate orally. Patients were treated for 4 weeks as a course. The therapeutic efficacy was compared after one-course treatment and the differences in gastric emptying rate, and serum 5-HT and ghrelin contents between groups were compared before and after treatment. Results: The total effective rate was 79.6％ in the control group and 89.4％ in the treatment group, showing significantly different between groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the gastric emptying rate and serum ghrelin content of the two groups increased significantly, and the serum 5-HT content decreased significantly, the intra-group differences were significant (all P<0.01). After treatment, the gastric emptying rate and serum ghrelin content were significantly higher in the treatment group than those in the control group, while the serum 5-HT was significant lower in the treatment group, the inter-group differences were significant (all P<0.05). A negative correlation (r=-0.59) was observed between serum 5-HT content and gastric emptying rate, and a positive correlation (r=0.64) was observed between serum ghrelin content and gastric emptying rate, showing statistical significance (all P<0.01). Conclusion: Acupoint sticking with Jianpi Tongjing Zhitong ointment has a remarkable clinical efficacy in treating patients with functional dyspepsia due to liver-qi stagnation and spleen deficiency and is able to influence the secretion of serum 5-HT and ghrelin. Improving the gastrointestinal motility through the regulation of related brain-gut peptides is suggested as an underlying mechanism for this therapy.

Gelatin-siloxane nanoparticles (GS NPs) have been considered to be good gene carrier candidate in vitro, since they have several advantages such as low toxicity, easy preparation and surface modification. In this study, the Tat-PEG-GS NPs were synthesized by the gelatin-siloxane, surface-modified with the polyethylene glycol (H2 N-PEG-COOH) and Tat peptide (KYGRRRQRRKKRGC) and thus constructed a delivery system which can cross BBB (Blood-brain barrier). The morphology, diameter, and zeta potential of Tat-PEG-GS NPs carrier system were characterized with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Nano-ZS zetasizer dynamic light scattering Detector. The organ distribution and dynamic evolution localized in the brain parenchyma of Tat-PEG-GS NPs in vivo was investigated with Cri in vivo imaging system and TEM. The obtained Tat-PEG-GS NPs were approximately spherical in shape with average particle size of 150-200 nm and zeta potentials of (32.27 +/- 2.47) mV. In vivo imaging results showed that the accumulation of Tat-PEG-GS NPs was higher in the brain than the accumulation of PEG-GS NPs, but the accumulation of Tat-PEG-GS NPs was lower in the liver than the accumulation of PEG-GS NPs. These differences are statistically significant. The nanocomplex could cross the BBB and reach the neural tissues tested with TEM. The Tat-PEG-GS NPs could cross the BBB and escape the arrest of the reticuloendothelial system (RES), and it would be potential nano-carrier systems for central delivery.
