Objective To study the action of Shuganwan(SHGW) on experimental gastric ulcer in mice. Methods The anti-ga stric ulcer action of SHGW was observed on the gastric ulcer induced by water im mersion stress, reserpine and absolute ethyl alcohol. The effect on gastric secr etion in rats was studied by pyloric ligation. The effect on gastrointestinal mo tility was observed by gastric emptying in mice. The analgesic effect was tested by the hot-plate test and writhing method. Results SHGW m arkedly inhibited gastric ulcer induced by water immersion stress, reserpine and absolute ethyl alcohol. SHGW significantly inhibited the secretion of gastric a cid and pepsin and promoted the secretion of gastric mucus. SHGW markedly delaye d gastric emptying in normal mice and when gastric emptying was stimulated by ne ostigmine. SHGW mildly strengthend the effect of atropine on gastric emptying. S HGW enhanced hot pain threshold and decreased the number of twisting body in mic e. Conclusion Shuganwan may have anti-gastric ulcer ac tion. The mechanism of the action might be associated with its inhibition of the secretion of gastric juice, promotion of the secretion of gastric mucus,inhibit ion of activity of gastric smooth muscle and analgetic effect.

Objective To study the protective action of Shuganwan on liver injury and its cholagogue action. Methods Acute liver injury was induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats. The biochemical indexes and pathological changes were used for evaluation. The cholagogue action was studied by biliary drainage method. Results Compared with those of the CCl 4 control group, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and bilirubin levels of Shuganwan group declined significantly, and albumin/ globulin (A/G) inversion was obviously improved. The pathological changes revealed that liver injury was relieved. There was no change in bile secretion after administration of Shuganwan. Conclusion Shuganwan has protective action on acute liver injury by carbon tetrachloride, but no promotive action on bile secretion.

AIM: To study the action of Shugan Pills (SHGP) (Fructus Toosendan, Rhizoma corydalis, Radix Paloniae Albe, Radix Aucklandiae, Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis, Fructus Aurantii, etc.) on treatment of epigastralgia. METHODS: The analgesic effect was tested by the hot plate test and writhing method. The anti gastric ulcer action of SHGP was observed on the gastric ulcer induced by water immersion stress, reserpine and absolute ethyl alcohol. The effect on gastric secretion in rats was studied with pylorus ligation. The effect on gastrointestinal motility was observed by determination of gastric emptying and small intestinal propulsion ability in mouse. RESULTS: SHGP enhanced hot pain threhshold and decreased the number of twisting body in mouse. SHGP markedly inhibited gastric ulcer induced by water immersion stress, reserpine and absolute ethyl alcohol. SHGP significantly inhibited the secretion of gastric acid and pepsin and promoted the secretion of gastric mucus. SHGP markedly delayed gastric emptying in normal mouse and when gastric emptying and small intestinal propulsion was stimulated by neostigmine. SHGP faintly strengthed the effect of atropine on inhibition of gastrointestinal motility. CONCLUSION: Shugan Pills could have analgesic effect, anti gastric ulcer action, it inhibited the secrection of gastric juice and the activity of gastric smooth muscle. These effects might be the pharmacological mechanisms of SHGP on treatment of epigastralgia.

Objective To inquiry the changes of serum miRNAs expression in pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis patients.Methods The study subjects (all subjects are male) were divided into three groups:I stage pneumoconiosis (38 cases)、Pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis (12 cases) and healthy control (40cases).The first two groups come from Tianjin worker's sanatorium and healthy control group came from a Hospital Health Screening Center.RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of miR-21,miR-200c,miR-16,miR-204,miR-206,miR-155,let-7g,miR-30b,miR-192,miR-29a in serum.Results Compared with the healthy control group,the expression levels of miR-204,miR-206,miR-21,miR-16,miR-29a,miR-155,miR-200c in other two groups are different (P＜0.05);Compared with the I stage pneumoconiosis,the expression levels of miR-155 is significantly higher (P＜0.05) and miR-29a is significantly lower (P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with the I stage pneumoconiosis,the expression levels of miR-155 and miR-29a are significantly different,suggesting that these two miRNAs may play a important role in the process of pneumoconiosis complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis

AIM:To investigate the effects of the γ-aminobutyric acid(GABAergic)neural pathway from the anterior cingulate cortex(ACC)to the nucleus accumbens(NAc)on the regulation of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)and its underlying mechanisms in mice.METHODS:(1)A C57BL/6J mice model of IBS was established by using chronic acute combing stress(CACS).The mice were divided into a normal group and an IBS group(n=8).The presence of IBS-like symptoms was determined through behavioural tests,an intestinal motility test and abdominal withdrawal reflex scores.(2)Fluorescence gold(FG)retrograde tracing and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate the ACC-NAc GABAergic neural pathway and to examine the activation of GABA in the ACC in IBS mice(n=8).(3)A total of 1.5 μL of normal saline(NS),GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline(BIC)or agonist isoguvacine hydrochloride(Isog)was ad-ministered via a preburied catheter into the NAc of mice in IBS and normal groups.The mice were randomly divided into three groups(n=8):NS group,BIC group and Isog group.IBS-like symptoms were assessed.(4)The mice were prein-jected with AAV2/9-mDlx-iCre-WPRE-pA in the ACC and AAV2/2Retro Plus-hSyn-DIO-hM3D(Gq)-eGFP-WPRE-pA in the NAc and subsequently divided into four groups(n=8):NS(intraperitoneal injection)+NS(NAc microinjection)group,NS+BIC group,clozapine N-oxide(CNO)+NS group and CNO+BIC group.The mice who received AAV2/2Retro-hSyn-DIO-hM4D(Gi)-EGFP-WPRE-pA in the NAc were randomly divided into three groups(n=8):NS+NS group,NS+BIC group and CNO+NS group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was employed to estimate the expression levels of histamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)in colon tissue,and the effects of GABAergic neural pathways from ACC to NAc on IBS were studied.RESULTS:CACS induced IBS-like symptoms in mice.The results of FG retrograde tracing combined with fluorescence immunohistochemistry showed that GABA neurons of ACC could project to NAc.The injection of BIC in the NAc was found to significantly reduce anxiety-like behaviours,diarrheal symptoms and visceral hy-persensitivity in the IBS mice(P<0.05).Chemogenetic inhibition of the ACC-NAc GABAergic neurons ameliorated IBS-like symptoms in mice(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The GABAergic pathway of ACC-NAc might be involved in the regu-lation of IBS in mice,which may be related to the release of histamine and 5-HT in colon tissue.

[摘 要] 目的：探讨溶瘤新城疫病毒（NDV）对IL-6诱导的人胶质母细胞瘤U87MG细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的作用及其可能的机制。方法：将U87MG细胞分为对照组、IL-6组、NDV组、NDV+IL-6组，其中IL-6组与NDV+IL-6组用75 ng/mL IL-6预处理1 h，其余组用DMEM预处理1 h，后分别用DMEM、75 ng/mL IL-6、1 HU NDV、1 HU NDV+75 ng/mL IL-6处理24 h。MTT法、细胞划痕实验和Transwell侵袭实验分别检测IL-6、NDV对U87MG细胞增殖、迁移和侵袭的影响，WB法检测各组细胞JAK2、p-JAK2、STAT3、p-STAT3和MMP2蛋白的表达水平。结果：与对照组相比，IL-6组细胞迁移率显著升高（P<0.05），侵袭细胞数目显著增多（P<0.01）；与IL-6组相比，NDV+IL-6组U87MG细胞增殖率显著降低（P<0.05），细胞迁移率和侵袭细胞数目均显著降低（均P<0.01）。WB实验结果显示，与对照组相比，IL-6组p-STAT3/STAT3比值显著升高（P<0.01），NDV组p-JAK2/JAK2、p-STAT3/STAT3比值显著降低（P<0.05，P<0.01），MMP-2蛋白表达量显著降低（P<0.01）；与IL-6组相比，NDV+IL-6组p-STAT3/STAT3比值、MMP-2蛋白表达量均显著降低（均P<0.05）。结论：NDV能抑制IL-6对人脑胶质瘤U87MG细胞迁移和侵袭的诱导作用，其机制可能与JAK2/STAT3信号通路的参与调控有关。
