OBJECTIVETo study the pharmacological changes of Atractylodes lancea before and after processing and the processing mechanism on the basis of the pharmacological changes.
METHODThe model of dampness retention in the middle-jiao rats was established to determine small intestine peristalsis rate, GAS level, urine volume and AQP2 content from urine in different groups.
RESULTAll treatment groups showed increase in small intestinal peristalsis rate and GAS level. The bran-processed group showed significant difference from the negative group. The high dose A. lancea group showed increase in urine volume and decrease in urine AQP2 content in model rats, which were different from the negative group.
CONCLUSIONWater extracts from bran-processed A. lancea can obviously increase small intestinal peristalsis and GAS level, indicating that A. lancea has the effect for strengthening spleen and stomach after stir-baking with bran. Its impact on urine and urine AQP2 content in model rats demonstrates that its dryness of A. lancea is alleviated after stir-baking with bran.

Objective:To identify the risk factors of cognitive dysfunction in patients with atrial fibrillation and to establish a risk prediction model.Methods:The convenience sampling method was used to evaluate 260 patients with atrial fibrillation who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from January to December 2020. The cognitive function of the patients was evaluated with the Montreal Cognitive Function Assessment Scale (MoCA). Univariate analysis was used to screen the independent variables that had influence on the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction, and the statistically significant variables were included in the multivariate Logistic regression model. According to the regression coefficients of statistically significant variables, a line map was drawn to construct the risk prediction model of cognitive dysfunction in patients with atrial fibrillation.Results:There were 209 cases with cognitive impairment and 51 cases without cognitive impairment. Univariate analysis showed that sex, age, smoking history, drinking history, education level, free thyroxine, hemoglobin, D-dimer and BMI ( χ2 values were 4.08-18.83, t values were -6.04-2.94, Z=-2.76) were significantly different between the patients with or without cognitive dysfunction. The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR values were 1.13), education level ( OR=0.01-0.05), quit smoking history ( OR=0.36), drinking history ( OR=0.35) and free thyroxine( OR=1.14) had significantly statistical significance ( P<0.05). The area under ROC curve (AUC) = 0.878 and AUC>0.8, this model had good clinical prediction ability. Conclusions:The construction of cognitive dysfunction risk prediction model for patients with atrial fibrillation can prevent or intervene high risk factors in advance, facilitate clinical use, and provide data support for the improvement of cognitive function in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Objective:To investigate the role of neurite outgrowth inhibitor (Nogo)-oligodendrocyte myelin glycoprotein (Omgp)/Ras homologous (Rho)-Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase (Rock) signaling pathway in acute brain injury of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning rats and treatment feasibility with Rho kinase inhibitor hydrochloride fasudil.Methods:According to random number table method, 135 healthy male SD rats were divided into three groups: a normal control group, a CO poisoning group and a fasudil treatment group ( n=45). Rat models of acute severe CO poisoning were established in the CO poisoning group and fasudil treatment group by inhalation method in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. All rats received hyperbaric oxygen therapy for two weeks. Rats in the farsudil treatment group were intraperitoneally injected with hydrochloride farsudil for intervention (15 mg/[kg·d], once a d for 2 weeks), while those in the CO poisoning and normal control groups received the same volume of normal saline. The ultrastructures of rat brain tissues were observed by transmission electron microscopy one week after modeling. Staining intensities of Nogo- and OMgp-positive cells were detected by immunohistochemistry, and those of Rock-positive cells were analyzed by immunofluorescence one d, one week, one month and two months after modeling. The protein expressions of Nogo, OMgp and Rock in brain tissues were detected by Western blotting one d, one week, one month and two months after modeling. Results:In the CO poisoning group, the ultrastructures of brain tissues and blood-brain barrier were damaged obviously, and the changes in nucleus, mitochondria and synaptic structure were obvious; while fasudil treatment could effectively maintain the integrity of ultrastructures and functions of brain tissues, and reduce brain edema. One d, one week, one month and two months after modeling, the staining intensities of Nogo, OMgp and Rock positive cells and protein expression levels of Nogo, OMgp and Rock in the CO poisoning group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group at the same time point ( P<0.05); the staining intensities of Nogo, OMgp and Rock positive cells and protein expression levels of Nogo, OMgp and Rock in the fasudil treatment group were significantly lower than those in the CO poisoning group at the same time point ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The activation of Nogo-OMgp/Rho-Rock signaling pathway related molecules (Nogo, OMgp and Rock) is closely related to acute brain injury caused by CO poisoning; hydrochloride fasudil can effectively down-regulate the protein expressions of Nogo, OMgp and Rock, therefore obviously alleviate brain injury after CO poisoning.

Data analysis models may assist the transmission of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) experience and clinical diagnosis and treatment, and the possibility of constructing a “data-knowledge” dual-drive model was explored by taking gastric precancerous state as an example. Data-driven is to make clinical decisions around data analysis, and its syndrome-differentiation decision-making research relies on hidden structural models and partially observable Markov decision-making processes to identify the etiology of diseases, syndrome elements, evolution of pathogenesis, and syndrome differentiation protocols; knowledge-driven is to make use of data and information to promote decision-making and action processes, and its syndrome-differentiation decision-making research relies on convolutional neural networks to improve the accuracy of local disease identification and syndrome differentiation. The “data-knowledge” dual-driven model can make up for the shortcomings of single-drive numerical simulation accuracy, and achieve a balance between local disease identification and macroscopic syndrome differentiation. On the basis of previous research, we explored the construction method of diagnostic assisted decision-making platform for gastric precancerous state, and believed that the diagnostic and decision-making ability of doctors can be extended through the assistance of machines and algorithms. Meanwhile, the related research methods were integrated and the core features of gastric precancerous state based on TCM syndrome differentiation and endoscopic pathology diagnosis and prediction were obtained, and the elements of endoscopic pathology recognition based on TCM syndrome differentiation were explored, so as to provide ideas for the in-depth research and innovative application of cutting-edge data analysis technology in the field of intelligent TCM syndrome differentiation.
