Objective To investigate the effects of Huanglong decoction on mRNA and protein expression levels of intestinal epithelial tight junction protein Claudin-1 and Occludin in rat with sepsis. Methods Fifty-five Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=10), model group (n=15), western medicine treatment group (15 rats) and combined traditional Chinese and western medicine group (n=15). In sepsis model group, cecal ligation with puncture (CLP) was reproduced. In the sham operation group, the steps of operation performed were similar to those in the model group, but without CLP. Normal saline 2 mL was given to sham operation group and model group by gavage;meropenem 50 mg was given to the western medicine treatment group by intra-peritoneal injection; in the combined traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group, besides meropenem 50 mg was injected intra-peritoneally, 2 mL Huanglong decoction (containing raw herbal medicine 0.68 g/mL) was administered by gavage [ingredients of the decoction: rhubarb 15 g (put into water the latest), Glauber salt 10 g, fructus aurantii immaturus 15 g, mangnoliae officinalis 10 g, ginseng 10 g, Angelica sinensis 20 g, Scutellaria baicalensis 15 g, Radix Glycyrrhizae 10 g, concentrated to a decoction 150 mL], in the four groups, the respective drugs or normal saline were given twice a day. After 4 days, the rats were sacrificed, and a partial ileal tissue close to the ileocecal region about 10 cm in length was taken; and mRNA expression levels of Claudin-1 and Occludin were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and protein expression levels of Claudin-1 and Occludin were detected by Western Blot. Results Compared with the sham operation group, the expression levels of Claudin-1 and Occludin mRNA [integrated absorbance (IA) ratio] and protein (gray value ratio) were significantly lowered in model group, western medicine group and combined therapy group (Claudin-1 mRNA: 0.327±0.029, 0.387±0.035, 0.420±0.053 vs. 0.561±0.035, Occludin mRNA: 0.364±0.058, 0.422±0.033, 0.442±0.048 vs. 0.616±0.036, Claudin-1 protein: 0.307±0.015, 0.337±0.017, 0.355±0.027 vs. 0.426±0.017, Occludin protein: 0.326±0.028, 0.355±0.017, 0.366±0.025 vs. 0.455±0.018, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression levels of Claudin-1 and Occludin mRNA and protein in western medicine group and combined therapy group were significantly higher (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01); the up-regulation was more marked in combined therapy group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The protective effect of Huanglong decoction on intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with sepsis is possibly related to the up-regulation of expression levels of Claudin-1 and Occludin mRNA and protein.

Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of combination of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine for treatment for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Sixty patients with ACS were randomly divided into 2 groups: the treatment group and the control group. The combined treatment group was treated with conventional therapy (anti-platelet, anticoagulation, therapies for lowering blood-lipids and blood pressure, dilatation of coronary artery and protection of vascular endothelial function) and TCM complex prescription named Suxinkang granules (复方苏欣康颗粒), the control group was treated with conventional therapy and drop pills of salvia miltiorrhiza (复方丹参滴丸). Two weeks of treatment constituted one therapeutic course, and after one therapeutic course, the clinical symptoms, manifestations of electrocardiogram (ECG) and dynamic ECG changes in 24 hours were recorded. Results The total effective rate of combined treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group90.0%(27/30) vs. 83.3%(25/30), P0.05). Conclusion The TCM complex prescription Suxinkang has a certain curative effect on ACS and it is an effective method in combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine for treatment of ACS.

Objective To study the effect of the serum contained Radix Astragali, Hirudo or their compound on the growth cycle and apoptosis of rat mesangial cells (MC).Methods The serum contained the extract of high-concentration of Hirudo, the serum contained the extract of high-concentration of Radix Astragali, and the serum contained the extract of high-concentration of Hirudo and the extract of low-concentration of Radix Astragali were prepared. The cultured MC were measured by flow cytometer to observe the changes in their growth cycle and apoptosis. The morphological changes of apoptotic cells were observed.Results The medicinal serums can keep the most MC in the stage of G0/G1, and the significant difference was existing in comparison with that of the control group (P

To apply more precise upper airway modeling and computer fluid dynamic technology, and simulate the upper airways of the fluid velocity, flow field distribution and pressure changes on 1 case of OSAHS patients before and after surgery. At home and abroad, computer fluid dynamic has been applied to research on human airway and predict curative effect before and after operation, but the study of the whole upper airway fluid physics parameter is less within normal people and sick people, more the lack of large sample research. The application of this technology can lay the foundation to establish normal people and sick people upper airways database, formulate normative operation and research process, the quantitative domestic normal population and pathological airway blocking criteria of each plane, develop a handling the precision of simulation software and the curative effect of surgical or medical treatment evaluation system, and open up the new train of thought of OSAHS patients diagnosis and treatment.
