Objective:To predict the mechanism of Panacis Quinquefolii Radix- Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma (PQ-AT) in the treatment of diabetes encephalopathy (DE) using network pharmacology combined with molecular docking; To conduct experimental verification.Methods:The active components and targets of PQ and AT were screened by TCMSP database. The GeneCards and Disgenet were used to collect DE related target genes. String database and Cytoscape software were used to structure PPI network and perform visualization analysis. The common targets were imported into Metascape platform for GO annotation and KEGG enrichment analysis. Molecular docking was used to verify the binding ability of active components to core targets. Rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, and a low-dose group of PQ-AT (1.08 g/kg), a high-dose group of PQ-AT (2.16 g/kg), and a metformin group (0.18 g/kg) using a random number table. To establish the rat model of diabetes encephalopathy, intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin was used in addition to the blank group. After a 12-week drug intervention, TNF-α and Cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2) protein expression in the cerebral cortex of rats was detected using Western blot.Results:A total of 26 active components in PQ-AT and 107 related targets of DE were obtained, mainly including TNF, JUN, and PTSG2, which were mainly concentrated in TNF signaling pathway, cancer and other signal pathways. Molecular docking showed that the main active components of PQ-AT had relatively stable binding activity with TNF-α and PTGS2. Western blot results shows that compared with the model group, the expressions of PTGS2 and TNF-α significantly decreased in each administration group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:PQ-AT can act on TNF, CASP3, JUN, STAT3, PTGS2 and other core targets to regulate signal pathways such as TNF, and inhibit inflammatory reaction to achieve the effect of treating DE.

Objective To understand the situation of knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) of sheep farmers and field veterinarians towards brucellosis prevention,and find out the potentially influential factors.Methods From March to September in 2017,1 067 sheep farmers and 401 field veterinarians were selected as participates,and questionnaire survey was carried out.Percentage rate was used to describe the situation of KAP.Nonparametric test was used to compare the KAP score difference.Results The overall awareness in sheep farmers and field veterinarians was 64.2％ and 80.1％,respectively.In addition,there were 17.3％ (185/1067) sheep farmers and 12.2％ (49/401) field veterinarians had never heard of brucellosis.The knowledge awareness in sheep farmers and field veterinarians was 62.6％ and 79.0％,respectively,75.8％ and 83.8％ of them had positive attitude to brucellosis prevention,54.1％ and 77.6％ of them had good practice habit.They hoped in the future,more information could be received through TVs,and then was internet or broadcasting.Sheep farmers who from first class region,age less than 45 years,education higher than junior high school,feeding time less than 5 years and sheep ever infected with brucellosis (U =4.85,3.08,3.29,2.20,6.62,P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01),had higher KAP scores than others.Field veterinarians,who had lower education,had lower KAP scores (U =4.29,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The awareness of sheep farmers and field veterinarians still need to improve and strengthen.Some suggestions are put forward:improve intervention pattern,optimize content and method,pay attention to use new media.
