ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of action of Bushen Huoxue Granules (补肾活血颗粒, BHG) in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) through the Nrf2/NLRP3 inflammasome axis. MethodsA total of 84 male C57/BL 6 mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, Madopar group, dimethyl fumarate group, and low-, medium, and high-dose BHG group, with 12 mice in each group. Except for the blank group, all groups were induced into PD models by intraperitoneal injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) at a concentration of 30 mg/ml for 7 consecutive days. The blank group received an equal volume of saline. After model establishment, the low-, medium, and high-dose BHG groups were treated with 1.5, 3, and 6 g/(kg·d) of the BHG by gavage, respectively. The Madopar group was given 0.113 g/(kg·d) of Madopar tablets by gavage, and the dimethyl fumarate group was given 50 mg/(kg·d) of dimethyl fumarate solution. The blank group and the model group were given 10 ml/(kg·d) of distilled water by gavage. Gavage was administered once daily for 14 days. Behavioral changes were evaluated using the open field test (total distance, central area distance, and average speed), rotarod test (time on the rod), and climbing pole test (climbing time). Serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured by ELISA. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the brain substantia nigra. Immunofluorescence was used to detect α-synuclein (α-syn) expression. Western Blot was used to detect Nrf2, NLRP3, Caspase-1, and α-syn protein levels in the brain substantia nigra. RT-PCR was used to detect mRNA expression levels of Nrf2, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in the brain substantia nigra. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group showed decreased total distance, central area distance, and average speed, reduced time on the rotarod, prolonged climbing time, reduced TH expression, increased α-syn expression, decreased Nrf2 protein and mRNA expression, increased NLRP3 and Caspase-1 protein and mRNA expression, and elevated serum IL-1β, IL-18, and MPO levels (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, all drug interventions significantly improved the above indicators (P<0.05). There was no significant differences in all indicators between the high-dose BHG group and the Madopar group (P>0.05). Compared with the dimethyl fumarate group, the medium and high-dose BHG groups showed increased Nrf2 mRNA expression in the brain substantia nigra (P<0.05). Compared with the high-dose BHG group, the low-dose group showed decreased total distance, central area distance, and average speed, reduced serum IL-18 levels, decreased α-syn, Nrf2, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 protein levels, and lower Nrf2 mRNA expression (P<0.05). ConclusionThe mechanism by which BHG treat PD may involve activating the Nrf2/NLRP3 inflammasome axis in the brain substantia nigra, thereby reducing neuroinflammation and α-syn aggregation. The high-dose group showed the best effects.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effectiveness and safety of Hewei Anshen Formula (和胃安神方) for stress-induced insomnia. MethodsA total of 104 male patients with stress-induced insomnia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 52 cases in each group. The treatment group was given Hewei Anshen Formula once a day, while the control group was given zolpidem tartrate tablets 10 mg per time and once a day, and both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was applied to evaluate sleep quality before and after treatment, Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test (FIRST) was used to evaluate insomnia susceptibility, MOS 36-tem Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) [which includes the domains of Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Health Component Summary (MCS), with the PCS including the General Health (GH), Physical Functioning (PF), Role Physical (RP), and Body Pain (BP), and the MCS including Role Emotional (RE), Social Functioning (SF), Vitality (VT), Mental Health (MH)] was used to evaluate the quality of life, and Fatigue Scale 14 (FS-14) [including somatic fatigue and brain fatigue scores] to evaluate the degree of fatigue, and the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores using a self-developed TCM syndrome survey for insomnia. Clinical effectiveness and TCM syndrome improvement were determined after treatment. The occurrence of adverse events and adverse reactions was recorded during treatment. ResultsThe total effective rate of clinical effectiveness was 90.38% (41/52) in the treatment group and 80.77% (42/52) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The total effective rate of TCM syndrome effectiveness in the treatment group was 80.77% (42/52), which was higher than 44.23% (23/52) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The TCM syndrome score, FIRST score, brain fatigue scores, brain fatigue score and total score of FS-14 score all reduced after treatment in both groups, and all scores were lower in the treatment group than those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). All transformed scores of SF-36 scores were higher in both groups after treatment than before treatment in this group, and they were better than the control group in the four dimensions of PF, RP, VT, and MH (P<0.05). There were no adverse events and adverse reactions in the two groups. ConclusionHewei Anshen Formula can improve patients' sleep quality, effectively relieve clinical symptoms such as fatigue and pain, alleviate TCM syndromes, enhance the quality of life, reduce the susceptibility to insomnia, and shows good safety.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Hewei Anshen Formula (和胃安神方) in the treatment of insomnia. MethodsSixty male SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group, the model group, the eszopiclone group and the low-, medium- and high-dose Hewei Anshen Formula groups. The insomnia model was constructed by intraperitoneal injection of p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) for 2 days in all groups except the normal group. After successful modelling, the eszopiclone group was given 0.33 mg/(kg·d) eszopiclone aqueous solution by gavage, the low-, medium- and high-dose Hewei Anshen Formula groups were given 10 ml/kg of Hewei Anshen Formula with a concentration of 1, 2 and 4 g/ml, respectively, and the rats in the normal group and the model group were given 10 ml/kg of saline by gavage, once a day for 7 consecutive days. The general condition of the rats was observed during the experiment, and the body mass of the rats was measured every day after medication administration. The following day after the last medication administration, pentobarbital sodium co-test was used to observe the sleep condition, and the sleep latency and sleep duration were recorded; immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of hypothalamic clock rhythm regulating protein (CLOCK) and brain and muscle aromatic hydrocarbon receptor nuclear transporter-like protein 1 (BMAL1) in the rats. ResultsThe body mass of rats in the model group was lower than that of rats in the normal group at all time points (P<0.01); compared with the same time in the eszopiclone group, the body mass of rats in the low-dose Hewei Anshen Formula group was elevated on the 5th, 6th and 7th days of medication administration (P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the sleep duration of rats in the model group was shortened (P<0.01); compared with the model group, the sleep duration of rats in each dosage group increased (P<0.01), and the difference between the high-dose Hewei Anshen Formula group and the eszopiclone group showed no statistically significant (P>0.05), while the sleep duration of the low- and medium-dose Hewei Anshen Formula groups were shorterned than the eszopiclone group (P<0.01). The difference in sleep latency showed no statistically significant among each group (P>0.05). The results of both immunohistochemistry and Western blotting showed that the expression of CLOCK and BMAL1 in the hypothalamus of rats in the model group was significantly reduced compared with that in the normal group (P<0.01); the expression of CLOCK and BMAL1 in the hypothalamus of rats in the low- and high-dose Hewei Anshen Formula groups increased than that in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionHewei Anshen Formula can improve insomnia in model rats, and its mechanism of action may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of the hypothalamic biological clock genes CLOCK and BMAL1 protein.
