Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2016;23(7):17-21
Objective To study the correlation between hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, and syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat with IL-6, PCT, CRP, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells.Methods Ninety patients with HFMD were randomly selected, dividing into lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, and syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat, 30 cases for each syndrome. IL-6, PCT, CRP, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells were detected, and the distribution of above indicators in the three syndromes were analyzed.Results Levels of IL-6, PCT and CRP in syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat were significantly higher than those in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, with statistical significance (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in absolute value counting of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and NK cells among the three syndromes (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in the percentage of CD3+ cells in syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat and lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome (P<0.01) and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat (P<0.05); There was statistical significance in the percentage of CD4+ cells syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat and lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome (P<0.05) and syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat (P<0.01); There was statistical significance in the percentages of CD8+ and NK cells in the three syndromes (P<0.01).Conclusion Proinflammatory cytokines, proinflammatory markers, and T cell sub-group related to HFMD in lung-spleen damp-heat syndrome, syndrome of stagnation and steaming due to damp-heat, syndrome of stirring wind due to toxic-heat are not only correlative with morbidity, but also with the severity of diseases and prognosis, which can relatively effectively evaluate the state of diseases and judge prognosis.

Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2014;34(10):1202-1206
OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of xuebijing Injection (XI) on perioperative coagulation and inflammatory reaction in senile patients receiving total hip arthroplasty (THA).
METHODSTotally eighty patients receiving THA at Luoyang Orthopedics Hospital, 65 to 85 years old, were randomly assigned to the control group (40 cases) and the treatment group (40 cases). All patients received routine perioperative therapies. Those in the treatment group received XI (adding 50 mL XI in 100 mL normal saline, 30 min each time). XI was continually injected after THA, twice daily for 3 successive days. Blood samples were harvested on the morning of the 2nd admission day (TO), immediately after operation (T1), on the morning of the 3rd day after operation (T3), and on the morning of the 5th day after operation (T4) to detect prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), levels of FIB and D-dimer (D-D), changes of white blood cell (WBC), neutrophils (N), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and IL-6. Complications of surgery were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSThere was no statistical difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and blood transfusion between the two groups (P >0.05). Compared with TO in the same group, WBC, N, CRP, ESR, IL-6, PT, TT, and D-D all increased in the control group at T1-T4 (P < 0.05); APTT increased at T1-T2 (P <0.05); FIB increased at T1-T3 (P <0.05). WBC, N, IL-6, PT, and D-D all increased in the treatment group at T1-T3 (P <0.05); CRP and ESR increased at T1-T4 (P < 0.05); TT increased at T1-T2 (P <0.05); APTT and FIB increased at T1 (P <0.05). Compared with the control group at the same time period, WBC, N, CRP, and IL-6 all decreased in the treatment group at T1-T4 (P <0.05), ESR decreased at T3-T4 (P <0.05); PT and TT decreased at T1-T3 (P <0.05); FIB and D-D decreased at T2-T4 (P<0.05). The occurrence of each complication was significantly lower in the treatment groups than in the control group.
CONCLUSIONXI could improve the perioperative high coagulation state of senile THA patients, inhibit inflammatory reactions, and reduce complications.

Objective To investigate the effects of rosiglitazone on the proliferation,connective tissue growth factor and Smad expression in cultured cardiac fibroblasts induced by advanced glycosylation end-products (AGEs).Methods After being treated with various amounts of rosiglitazone,the cultured neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts were incubated with AGEs.The status of cardiac fibroblasts proliferation and cell cycle were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethyhhiazol-2-yl) -2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTI) assay and flow cytometry.Furthermore,ELISA technique was applied to identify the level of TGF-β1.The protein expressions of CTGF and Smad in cardiac fibroblasts of neonatal SD rats were detected with Western blotting.Results The exposure of cardiac fibroblasts to AGEs at doses of 0-200 mg/L induced a dose-dependent increase in cell proliferation.At the concentration of rosiglitazooe (0.1,1,and 10 μmol/L),the cell proliferation was reduced compared with 200 mg/L AGEs group by O.823±0.072,0.785±0.060,0.601±0.081 vs 0.981±0.049,respectively (P < 0.05).The increased levels of TGF-β1 in supematants of cultured cardiac fibroblasts stimulated by AGEs were inhibited by rosiglitazone at the concentrations of 0.1,1,10μmol/L by 257.77±9.09,230.29±6.56,200.84±10.26 vs 300.68±8.56,respectively (vs 200 mg/L AGEs,P<0.01).Western blot indicated that pretreatment with rosiglitazone (0.1,1,and 10 μmol/L) inhibited CTGF protein production in a dose-dependent by 0.769±0.108,0.590±0.095,0.534±0.115 vs 1.021±0.113,respectively (vs 200 mg/L AGEs,P<0.01).It was also demonstrated that pretreatment with rosiglitazone (1 and 10 μmol/L) inhibited Smad2 protein production by 0.424±0.059,0.396±O.080 vs 0.572±0.073,respectively (vs 200 mg/L AGEs,P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).Meanwhile pretreatment with rosiglitazone (1 and 10 μmol/L) inhibited Smad4 protein production by 0.580±0.063,0.556±0.051 vs 0.672±0.059,respectively (vs 200 mg/L AGEs,P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).Conclusions The findings suggest that AGEs promote the proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts and stimulate the protein production of Smad and CTGF of cardiac fibroblasts.Rosiglitazone inhibits the above reaction.These results indicate that CTGF/Smad pathway may play an important role in the protective effect of rosiglitazone on myocardial fibrosis.

10.Effect of Dexamethasone on proliferation and expression of fibroblast growth factor mRNA in human embryo lung fibroblasts exposed to hyperoxia
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(14):1099-1101
Objective To explore the effect of Dexamethasone(DEX)on the proliferation and the expression of fibroblast growth factor(FGF)- 1,FGF - 2 and interleukin - 6(IL - 6)mRNA in hyperoxia - exposed human em-bryo lung fibroblasts(MRC - 5). Methods High oxygen volume fraction of 950 mL/ L was used to establish hyperoxia -damaged cell models,then treated with different concentrations of DEX(10 - 4 ,10 - 6 ,10 - 8 ,10 - 9 ,10 - 10 ,10 - 11 ,10 - 12 mol/ L),respectively. The proliferation activity of the cells was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)at 24 h,48 h,72 h,and the optimal hyperoxia - exposed time and concentration of DEX were chosen;then they were divided into air group,hyperoxia group and hyperoxia + DEX group. The mRNA expressions of FGF - 1,FGF - 2 and IL - 6 were detected by quantitative real - time PCR at 48 h. Results Cell proliferation activity of the hyperoxia group was lower than that of the air group and there were significant differences at 48 h and 72 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05). Compared with the hyperoxia group,cell proliferation activity of the hyperoxia + DEX group increased with the concentration of DEX decreasing,reaching the peak at 10 - 9 mol/ L,and then gradually decreased with the concentration of DEX decreasing. Cells were cultured for 48 h,compared with the air group,the level of FGF - 1 mRNA was lower,FGF - 2 and IL - 6 mRNA were higher in the hyperoxia group(P ﹤ 0. 05). Compared with hyperoxia group,the level of FGF - 1 mRNA was higher,FGF - 2 and IL - 6 mRNA were lower in hyperoxia + DEX group(P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusions Exposure to high oxygen volume fraction of 950 mL/ L for 48 h can cultivate optimal hyperoxia - damaged cell models,and DEX can protect the cell from hyperoxia injury and 10 - 9 mol/ L was the optimal concentration. Enhanced the expression of FGF - 1 mRNA and inhibited expression of FGF - 2 mRNA may be one of the mechanism that DEX protects the cells from hyperoxia injury.
