To summarize the clinical experience of Professor WANG Meng-yong in the treatment of uric acid nephropathy. Professor WANG believes that the disease is mainly caused by spleen and kidney deficiency, disorder of function of Sanjiao, and pathological products, such as phlegm dampness and blood stasis and other metabolic disorders. Therefore, the treatment should distinguish symptoms and essence. Starting from pathogenesis and pathological features of spleen and kidney deficiency and phlegm dampness and blood stasis, the treatment should flexibly apply the methods of nourishing spleen and kidney, reducing phlegm and dispelling humidity, and activating blood and using diuretic of hydragogue to alleviate water retention, which can greatly reduce side effects caused by the long-term use of Western medicine and the onset of gout, and then to help disease recovery.

Objective Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Heqi San combined with metformin in the treatment of obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods A total of 60 patients with obese polycystic ovary syndrome who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into 2 groups, 30 patients in each group. The control group was treated with metformin, and the treatment group was treated with Heqi San on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 3 months. The FPG was determined by glucose oxidase method, and fasting insulin (FINS), TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C level were measured by radio immunoassay, and the insulin resistance index (IR) was measured by the method of HOMA-IR. The luteotropic hormone (LH), pro follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone (T) were detected by the automatic electrochemical light detector, and the ratio of LH/FSH was calculated. The ovarian volume and body mass index changes and clinical effect were evaluated. Results After treatment, the BMI (20.09 ± 3.12 kg/cm2 vs. 23.39 ± 1.43 kg/cm2, t=6.889), FPG (4.44 ± 0.17 mmol/L vs. 4.74 ± 0.16 mmol/L, t=6.945), FINS (10.69 ± 2.41 IU/L vs. 16.29 ± 5.95 IU/L, t=4.778), TC (3.91 ± 0.50 mmol/L vs. 4.20 ± 0.39 mmol/L, t=2.505), LDL-C (2.64 ± 0.63 mmol/L vs. 3.18 ± 0.62 mmol/L, t=3.346), LH (8.70 ± 2.44 U/L vs. 10.27 ± 2.69 U/L, t=2.934), the ratio of LH/FSH (1.33 ± 0.58 vs. 2.18 ± 0.56, t=5.775), T (1.73 ± 0.74 nmol/L vs. 2.95 ± 1.10 nmol/L, t=5.040) and ovarian volume (12.61 ± 2.29 mm3 vs. 14.26 ± 2.52 mm3, t=6.982) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The FSH (7.33 ± 2.28 U/L vs. 5.95 ± 1.20 U/L, t=2.934) in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate in the treatment group was 83.3% (25/30) and 63.3% (19/30) in the control group. The difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant (χ2=3.068, P=0.050). Conclusions The Heqi San combined with metformin can effectively improve the body mass index, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism index and sex hormone level, and reduce the volume of ovary in patients with PCOS, and the curative effect is better than that of oral metformin alone.

Objective To investigate the effects of rehabilitation exercise on exercise tolerance and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with non-acute coronary syndrome (non-ACS) after interventional therapy. Methods A total of 102 patients with coronary heart disease and non-ACS in our hospital from December 2018 to June 2019 were selected and randomly divided into a control group (n=51, 30 males and 21 females with an average age of 56.1±4.8 years) and a trial group (n=51, 34 males and 17 females with an average age of 55.1±4.9 years). The control group received routine treatment, while the trial group received regular supervised rehabilitation exercise on the basis of routine treatment. Patients were followed up for 6 months to compare the differences in cardiovascular risk factors (blood pressure, blood lipid, fasting blood glucose), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), adverse lifestyle changes and treatment compliance between the two groups after treatment. Results The difference of 6MWD between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). In the trial group, 6MWD increased after intervention compared with that before intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Comparison of total cholesterol (TC), high density liptein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density liptein cholesterol (LDL-C) and fasting blood glucose in the trial group before and after intervention showed statistically significant differences (P<0.05). The differences in TC, HDL-C and LDL-C in the control group before and after intervention were statistically significant (P<0.05). It was statistically significant in dietary compliance rate, smoking cessation rate and alcohol cessation rate between the two groups (P<0.05); the differences in the dietary compliance and drug compliance of the trial group before and after intervention were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Regular supervised rehabilitation exercise can significantly improve the exercise tolerance and cardiovascular risk factors of non-ACS patients after coronary intervention treatment, so as to improve the quality of life and long-term prognosis of non-ACS patients, which is worthy of clinical application.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Qingfei Huatan Zhuyu decoction on the lung and intestinal function of rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and explore the deep-seated mechanism of its embodiment of lung and intestinal co-treatment. MethodA total of 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups, with 10 rats in each group, and the groups were control group, model group, acute syrup group (10 g·kg-1·d-1), and low, medium, and high-dose groups (10, 15, 20 g·kg-1·d-1) of Qingfei Huatan Zhuyu decoction. The COPD rat model was established by lipopolysaccharide tracheal drip combined with the smoke inhalation method, and the acute syrup group and the Qingfei Huatan Zhuyu decoction group were administered by gavage with corresponding dose concentrations respectively, while the rest groups were controlled by saline gavage, and the lung function and blood gas indexes of rats were monitored after the last administration. The histopathological changes in the lung and intestine were observed microscopically. The expression of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) in colon tissue were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The biochemical indexes such as serum diamine oxidase (DAO), D-lactic acid, and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of tight junction protein (Occludin) in rat colon tissue. The expression of F4/80 positive alveolar macrophages in rat lung tissue, and the expression of α-actin (α-SMA) and colonic atresia small band protein-1 (ZO-1) were determined by immunofluorescence. The protein expression of p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65, p-p38 MAPK, and p-p38 MAPK and the expression of Occludin and ZO-1 in colon tissue were detected in rat lung tissue by Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group had pulmonary dysfunction, reduced forced vital capacity (FVC), arterial partial oxygen pressure (PaO2), arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) (P<0.01), and the pathological changes in the lung and intestine were obvious. The expressions of IL-6, TNF-α, DAO, D-lactic acid, and MDA in serum were increased (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the protein expression ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK in lung tissue was increased. The expression of F4/80 positive macrophages in lung tissue was enhanced. The expression of IgA, Occludin, and ZO-1 in colon tissue decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the pulmonary function of the rats in the acute syrup group and groups of Qingfei Huatan Zhuyu decoction was significantly improved, and the FVC, PaO2, SaO2, and Cdyn were increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The pathological changes in the lung and intestine were significant. The expressions of IL-6, TNF-α, DAO, D-lactic acid, and MDA in serum were decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the expressions of F4/80 positive macrophages in lung tissue were decreased (P<0.01). The protein expression ratio of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK in lung tissue decreased (P<0.01), and the expression of IgA, Occludin, and ZO-1 in colon tissue increased (P<0.01). ConclusionQingfei Huatan Zhuyu decoction can effectively reduce the symptoms of COPD rats, and its mechanism of action is related to inhibiting the inflammatory response of lung tissue and improving the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa.
