China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2015;40(6):1203-1206
To analyze the composition and medication regularities of prescriptions treating hypochondriac pain in Chinese journal full-text database (CNKI) based on the traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support system, in order to provide a reference for further research and development for new traditional Chinese medicines treating hypochondriac pain. The traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support platform software V2. 0 was used to build a prescription database of Chinese medicines treating hypochondriac pain. The software integration data mining method was used to distribute prescriptions according to "four odors", "five flavors" and "meridians" in the database and achieve frequency statistics, syndrome distribution, prescription regularity and new prescription analysis. An analysis were made for 192 prescriptions treating hypochondriac pain to determine the frequencies of medicines in prescriptions, commonly used medicine pairs and combinations and summarize 15 new prescriptions. This study indicated that the prescriptions treating hypochondriac pain in Chinese journal full-text database are mostly those for soothing liver-qi stagnation, promoting qi and activating blood, clearing heat and promoting dampness, and invigorating spleen and removing phlem, with a cold property and bitter taste, and reflect the principles of "distinguish deficiency and excess and relieving pain by smoothening meridians" in treating hypochondriac pain.

Objective To explore the impact of the variable number of tandem repeats of monoamine oxidase A gene (MAOA-uVNTR) on the concentration of gray matter in patients with major depressive disorders.Methods 56 cases of depression, as well as 37 healthy controls who were matched in gender, age and years of education were divided into low-activity genotype (3R or 3R/4R), and high-activity genotype (4R) with the methods of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis separation. 93 cases all were performaned structural magnetic resonance imaging scanning. Results ① The difference of genotype and allele frequency between the depression group and the healthy group was not statistically significant(P>0.05 ). ②Compared with the healthy,the concentration of gray matter( GMC ) of bilateral caudate nucleus (K = 11/68, Z =3.76/4.76 ), bilateral thalamus ( K = 21/181, Z = 3.26/3.63 ) and right hypothalamus ( K = 38/12, Z = 4.20/3.60) reduced significantly in depressed patients. ③ In patients with depression, cases with the high-activity genotype showed reduced GMC bilateral caudate nucleus (K = 17/33, Z = 3.23/4.36 ), left putamen ( K = 16, Z =3.42 ) and right hypothalamus( K = 12, Z = 3.62 ) in comparision with patients with low-activity genotype. In highactivity genotype group,compared with the healthy,patients with depression had reduced GMC in left caudate nucleus ( K = 11, Z = 4.13 ), bilateral thalamus ( K = 13/14, Z = 3.53/3.23 ) and left parahippocampal gyrus ( K = 13,Z = 4.04). Conclusion High-activity genotype may be an important factor contributing to the structural abnormalitily of the limbic-striatum-globus pallidus-thalamus loop.

To analyze the prescription and medication regularities of traditional Chinese medicines in the treatment of melancholia in the Chinese journal full text database (CNKI), Wanfang Data knowledge service platform, VIP, Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM) in based on the traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support platform software, in order to provide reference for further mining traditional Chinese medicines for the treatment of melancholia and new drug development. The traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support platform software V2.0 was used to establish the prescription database of traditional Chinese medicines for treating melancholia. The software integrated data mining method was adopted to analyze four Qis, five flavors, meridian distribution, frequency statistics, syndrome distribution, composition regularity and new prescriptions. Totally 358 prescriptions for treating melancholia were analyzed to determine the frequency of prescription drugs, commonly used drug pairs and combinations and develop 22 new prescriptions. According to this study, prescriptions for treating depression collected in modern literature databases mainly have the effects in soothing liver and resolving melancholia, strengthening spleen and eliminating phlegm, activating and replenishing blood, regulating liver qi, tonifying spleen qi, clearing heat and purging heat, soothing the mind, nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, with neutral drug property and sweet or bitter flavor, and follow the melancholia treatment principle of "regulating qi and opening the mind, regulating qi and empathy".

Objective To examine the white matter micro structural changes of hippocampus in the mid-die-aged major depression, and hypothesis that the hippocampal neurogenesis during the effective antidepressants can be found by diffusion tensor imaging(DTI) technology. Methods Middle-aged patients with major depression were enrolled, twenty patients received open but controlled with SSRIs for 10 weeks,twenty age, gender, education-matched healthy controls were involved as control group. All the subjects were scanned by DTI,using both whole-brain,voxel-based analysis(VBA) and Regions of interests (ROIs) methods to analyze the data. Results The VBA analysis found the post treatment patients made significant improvement in the fight inferior frontal lobe, left cingulate gyms of iimbic lobe and the right sub-gyral of occipital,but no significant difference in the hippocampus were found between any groups (all P<0.01, cluster>20). For the hippocampal relative FA of ROIs analysis,there were no significant difference between the patients before and after treatment, even no difference between the prior-treatment patients and healthy control,the remitted patients and the healthy controls(P<0.05). Conclusions Micro structural white matter changes in the frontal gyms, temporal and cingulated gyms are associated with mid-die-aged depression,no changes were found in the hippocampus. These findings do not support the hypothesis that the hippocampal neurogenesis can be found by DTI technology.

Objective: To investigate the effect of potassium channel opener nicorandil on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) in isolated rat's heart. Methods: Langendorff system was established for isolated heart reperfusion. A total of 44 rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Normal control group, Ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) group, Adenosine/I-R (A/I-R) group, the I-R heart was treated by adenosine 100 μmo/L and Nicorandil/I-R (N/I-R) group, the I-R heart was treated by nicorandil 200 μmo/L.n=11 in each group. Left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), the maximal rise/fall rate of left ventricular pressure (±dp/dtmax), reperfusion arrhythmia (RA) and myocardial infarction (MI) size were recorded; the expressions of left ventricular tissue acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), Bcl-2 and Bax were examined and compared among different groups. Results:①Compared with I-R and A/I-R groups, N/I-R group had increased LVDP at 30 min and 45 min reperfusion, allP<0.05.②Compared with N/I-R and A/I-R groups, I-R group showed reduced ±dp/dtmax at 30 min and 45 min reperfusion, allP<0.05; while ±dp/dtmax in N/I-R group was higher than A/I-R group at 30 min and 45 min reperfusion, all P<0.05.③Compared with I-R group, both N/I-R and A/I-R groups presented reduced RA score, allP<0.01, RA score was similar between N/I-R group and A/I-R group,P=0.771.④compared with I-R group, both N/I-R and A/I-R groups had the smaller MI size,P<0.01 and N/I-R group showed the smaller MI size,P<0.05.⑤Compared with Normal control group, I-R group had decreased mitochondrial ALDH2 expression and increased Bcl-2, Bax expression; ALDH2 level was elevated in N/I-R group had reduced in A/I-R group; Bcl-2 and Bax levels were increased in both N/I-R and A/I-R groups. Compared with I-R group, both N/I-R and A/I-R groups had increased ratio of Bcl-2/Bax,P<0.05; the anti-apoptosis effect was similar between N/I-R group and A/I-R group,P>0.05. Conclusion: Nicorandil may reduce MIRI and protect myocardium in isolated rat's heart, the overall effect is better than adenosine. Nicorandil can up-regulate the expressions of mitochondrial ALDH2, Bcl-2 and down-regulate the expression of Bax.
