Bile reflux gastritis is a common and frequently occurring disease of the digestive system,and the pathology is diverse.Professor Zhou Xinyou emphasized that the disease primarily affects the gallbladder,liver and stomach,advocating for a comprehensive differentiation of its etiology and pathogenesis across three distinct stages.In the early stage,the gallbladder is dysfunctional,which then affects the stomach;In the intermediate stage,there is congestion in the liver and gallbladder,leading to excessive wood element suppressing the earth element;in the late stage,gastric collaterals damage,with qi deficiency and blood stasis.Professor Zhou Xinyou follows the diagnosis and treatment ideas of"multiple compound methods,comprehensive application,and overall adjustment".For typical clinical symptoms,he has formulated the treatment principles and treatment methods of pain separation,general use,oral bitterness and upset,purging heat and stomach,treating gallbladder and stomach,regulating qi and resolving depression,so as to achieve both symptoms and root causes of treatment,gallbladder and stomach regulation.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of glucocorticoid (GC) to cortisol-binding globulin (CBG) expression in rats and the correlation between the changes of CBG levels and the osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) in rats after GC treatment.
Methods:
A total of 72 healthy adult SD rats were randomly divided into low-dose group and high-dose group by computer random grouping.Thirty-six rats of low-dose group were injected dexamethasone at a dose of 1.5 mg·kg-1·d-1.Thirty-six rats of high-dose group were injected dexamethasone at a dose of 3.0 mg·kg-1·d-1.The blood samples were regularly collected, CBG levels in blood samples were detected by Western-blotting.Rats were killed in batches, femoral head was collected and observed under light microscope after HE staining.The bone lacuna of each group was compared and the ratio of empty lacuna was calculated.Finally, the correlation between the change of CBG level and ONFH was evaluated.
Results:
On the first day after administration, the CBG level of the two groups decreased, and reached the lowest level on the seventh day of administration, and then gradually increased.The reduction of CBG level in the high dose group was greater.With the increase of time after treatment, the number and rate of bone lacuna void in the two groups increased gradually.28 days after treatment, the number of empty bone lacunae and the rate of empty bone lacunae in the low dose group were (6.75±0.42) and (13.98±2.19)%, respectively, which were lower than those in the high dose group[(11.03±0.62) and (21.99±3.17)%,
