Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effect of comprehensive geriatric assessment(CGA) in elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF) complicated with sarcopenia, and to provide a theoretical reference for clinical application.Methods:This study was a prospective randomized controlled study. 110 elderly CHF patients with myopenia admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Hefei from January 2019 to February 2022 were selected. Using the random number table method, 56 cases were divided into an observation group and 54 cases into a control group. Before treatment, the control group of patients underwent a selective single assessment based on the hospital's requirements and the patient's actual situation, including a fall risk assessment, nutritional risk screening checklist assessment, and routine medication to improve cardiac function and prognosis; Before treatment, the patients in the observation group were assessed with CGA, including the assessment of physical function, mental and psychological status, multiple drug management, pain, Sleep disorder, and social environment. According to the assessment results, individual diagnosis and treatment plans were formulated, implemented, and dynamically adjusted. The two groups were treated for 12 weeks. The general information, treatment compliance, B-type brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, left ventricular Ejection fraction (LVEF), 6 min walking distance (6MWD), arm strength of upper limbs and 6 m walking speed, clinical efficacy and prognosis of the two groups were compared before and after treatment. The measurement data is represented by xˉ± s, group t-tests are used for inter group comparison, and paired t-tests are used for intra group comparison before and after treatment; Counting data is represented as an example (%), and inter group comparisons are made using χ 2 test, non parametric rank sum test was used for inter group comparison of hierarchical data. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, course of CHF, smoking, alcohol consumption, number of comorbidities, cardiac function grading, and treatment compliance between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05), indicating comparability. Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in plasma BNP, LVEF, 6MWD, upper limb grip strength, and 6-meter walking speed between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05); After treatment, the BNP of both groups of patients was lower than before treatment and the observation group was lower than the control group. LVEF, 6MWD, upper limb grip strength, and 6-meter walking speed were all higher than before treatment and the observation group was higher than the control group [(343.45±34.95) ng/L vs (387.09±46.96) ng/L, (49.61±7.11)% vs (42.94±5.72)%, (348.92±37.73) m vs (297.74±43.48) m, (22.64±3.82) kg vs (19.48±3.88) kg, (0.97±0.10) m/s vs (0.83±0.12) m/s], The differences were statistically significant ( t-values were 5.51, -5.40, -6.60, -4.31, -6.60, all P<0.001). After 12 weeks of treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in clinical efficacy between the two groups of patients ( P=0.216), but the overall poor prognosis rate in the follow-up observation group was lower than that in the control group [7.14%(4/56) vs 22.22% (12/54)], and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=5.03, P=0.025). Conclusions:Developing, implementing, and dynamically adjusting the individualized treatment plan involving CGA can improve the prognosis of elderly CHF patients with sarcopenia, help improve cardiac function, increase grip strength and somatic function, and reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events ,all-cause mortality in elderly patients with CHF combined with sarcopeni and has certain clinical application value.

ObjectiveTo investigate the synergistic mechanism of vinegar-processed Olibanum on ulcerative colitis(UC) via the bile acids regulating "gut-liver" crosstalk. MethodRats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, Olibanum group and vinegar-processed Olibanum group. UC model of rats was induced by intracolonic instillation of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid(TNBS). Ultra high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry(UPLC-QQQ-MS) was used to perform the qualitative analysis of 30 bile acids in the colon of rats. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) and Western blot were used to detect changes in the expression of farnesoid X receptor(FXR), fibroblast growth factor 15(FGF15) and FGF receptor 4(FGFR4) in "gut-liver" crosstalk at mRNA and protein levels. And with the help of HcoEpiC cell model intervened by conjugated bile acids, simulating the UC state, and according to the different modes of intervention, they were divided into the blank group, conjugated bile acid group, Olibanum group, vinegar-processed Olibanum group and 3-O-acetyl-9,11-dehydro-β-boswellic acid(ADHBA) group. The effect of Olibanum before and after processing with vinegar and the main differential component ADHBA on the mRNA expression of FXR and FGF19 were explored by Real-time PCR. ResultCompared with the normal group, the levels of conjugated bile acids in the model group increased significantly(P<0.01), and the mRNA and protein expressions of "gut-liver" crosstalk factors FXR, FGF15 and FGFR4 decreased significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the content of conjugated bile acids in the Olibanum group and vinegar-processed Olibanum group was significantly decreased(P<0.01), the mRNA and protein expressions of FXR, FGF15 and FGFR4 were significantly elevated(P<0.05, P<0.01), and vinegar-processed Olibanum exhibited superior effects than Olibanum. In cellular experiments, a significant decrease in mRNA expression of FXR and FGF19 was observed in the conjugated bile acid group when compared with the blank group(P<0.01). Compared with the conjugated bile acid group, the mRNA expressions of FXR and FGF19 were significantly higher in the Olibanum, vinegar-processed Olibanum and ADHBA groups(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the effect of vinegar-processed Olibanum was more favorable. ConclusionVinegar-processed Olibanum may enhance the ameliorating effect on UC by enhancing the down-regulation of conjugated bile acids in the colon and the up-regulation of FXR-FGF15/19-FGFR4 "gut-liver" crosstalk pathway, and ADHBA may be the main material basis for the synergy.

ObjectiveTo explore the improving effects and its synergistic mechanism of Olibanum before and after processing with vinegar on glycodesoxycholic acid(GDCA) intervention in mice with ulcerative colitis(UC) based on the perspective of intestinal flora. MethodC57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, GDCA group, Olibanum group(1.5 g·kg-1) and vinegar-processed Olibanum(1.5 g·kg-1) group, with 6 mice in each group. Mice in the normal group drank water freely, and mice in the other groups were given 2% dextran sulfate sodium(DSS) periodically to establish a UC mouse model. During the modeling, GDCA group, Olibanum group and vinegar-processed Olibanum group were intervened by intraperitoneally injection of GDCA(0.05 g·kg-1). From the 13th day after modeling, Olibanum group and vinegar-processed Olibanum group were given the corresponding doses of drugs by gavage, once a day, for 36 d. During this period, the body mass of mice was recorded and the disease activity index(DAI) was assessed. On day 48, faeces were collected for 16S rRNA and metagenomic sequencing to analyse changes in intestinal flora. On the 49th day, hematoxylin-eosion(HE) staining was used to observe the colon histological lesions, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to determine serum levels of tumour necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-6, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between differential bacterial species and inflammatory factor levels. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed a significant decrease in body weight(P<0.01), a significant increase in DAI(P<0.05), and a significant increase in TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 levels(P<0.01), and there was partial infiltration of inflammatory cells in the colon. Compared with the model group, mice in the GDCA group showed a significant decrease in body weight, a significant increase in DAI and levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6(P<0.01), and severe disruption of colonic crypt structure, extensive infiltration of inflammatory cells, and a significant decrease in goblet cells. Compared with the GDCA group, both the Olibanum and vinegar-processed Olibanum groups showed a significant recovery in body weight, a significant decrease in DAI and levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the modulating effect of vinegar-processed Olibanum was significantly better than that of Olibanum. Alpha diversity showed that Chao1 index of UC mice significantly increased(P<0.01) and Shannon index decreased significantly(P<0.05) in UC mice after GDCA intervention. Beta diversity showed that the microbial community structure of the 5 groups had significant changes, Olibanum and vinegar-processed Olibanum could modulate the changes in the structure of the intestinal flora in UC mice after GDCA intervention. Microbial sequencing results indicated that, compared with the normal group, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in the model group was significantly higher(P<0.05), and the relative abundance of 3 genera and 5 species of flora changed significantly(P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in the GDCA group was significantly higher(P<0.05), the relative abundance of 7 pathogenic bacterial genera and four species was significantly increased(P<0.05, P<0.01), and the relative abundance of three beneficial bacterial genera and Bacteroides_intestinalis was significantly decreased(P<0.05, P<0.01). Olibanum group and vinegar-processed Olibanum group could modulate the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, the relative abundance of pathogenic bacteria and beneficial bacteria, and the vinegar-processed Olibanum group was significantly superior to Olibanum group in terms of modulating the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, the relative abundance of the three genera and five species of bacteria(P<0.01, P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the relative abundance of Bacteroides_intestinalis was negatively correlated with the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, the relative abundance of Prevotella_sp_CAG873, Bacteroides_sp_CAG927, Bacteroidales_bacterium_52_46 and Bacteroidales_bacterium was positively correlated with TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β levels. ConclusionGDCA can exacerbate UC colonic inflammation, and Olibanum and vinegar-processed Olibanum have an ameliorative effect on GDCA-mediated UC, with the vinegar-processed Olibanum showing a stronger ameliorative effect, the mechanism may be related to the regulation the abundance and structure of intestinal beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, and the reduction of inflammatory factor levels.
