Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 1993;0(04):-
Objective To study the characteristics of heart rate variabili ty (HRV) in states of calm supine position, supine position and counting, and ca lm upstanding position, and the relationship with TCM syndromes of cold-h eat and deficiency-excess. Methods Totally 233 patient s diagnosed by TCM & western medicine with different syndromes were divided into five groups. B y comparing the general changes of frequency domain of HRV under three kinds of condition s, the variation of HRV indexes was measured in the excess heat syndrome group ( 64 cases), deficiency cold syndrome group (16 cases), cold-heat complex syndrom e group (38 cases), yin deficiency with fire syndrome group (67 cases), and defic iency of both yin and yang syndrome group (48 cases). Results The low frequenc y (LF) and low frequency normalized unit (LFNU) manifested sympathetic nervous a ctivity were augmented and were related with the yang syndrome and heat syndrome obvi ously. The high frequency (HF) and high frequency normalized unit (HFNU) manifes ted parasympathetic nervous activity were augmented and were related with the yi n syn drome and cold syndrome. The increased LF/HF reflected the yang syndrome and hea t syndrome. The decreased LF/HF reflected yin syndrome and cold syndrome. The co ndition of counting had a weighing influence on the diagnosis of yang syndrome a nd heat syndrome. And the condition of upstanding played a weighing role in defi ciency syndrome and cold syndrome. Conclusion The law o f changes of HRV under three kinds of condition is helpful in syndrome differentiation of cold-heat an d deficiency-excess.

Objective:To investigate cognitive function changes and their influential factors in patients with ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis.Methods:A total of 500 patients with ischemic stroke who received treatment in Yiwu Central Hospital from January 2018 to October 2019 were included in this study. They were divided into simple ischemic stroke group ( n = 200) and ischemic stroke complicated by leukoaraiosis group (combination group, n = 300). The infarct location and the degree of leukoaraiosis in the combination group were analyzed. An additional 150 volunteers who concurrently underwent the Cognitive Function Test in the same hospital were selected as controls. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Patients in the combination group were divided into cognitive impairment group (MoCA score ≥ 26 points) and non-cognitive impairment group (MoCA score < 26 points) according to MoCA score. The risk factors of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis were analyzed. Results:The scores of the MMSE, MoCA, Clock Drawing Test (CDT), Verbal Fluency Test (VFT), and Digit Span Test (DST) in the control group were (28.93 ± 2.70) points, (28.35 ± 2.74) points, (4.69 ± 1.14) points, (4.94 ± 0.42) points, and (14.33 ± 1.66) points respectively. They were (26.92 ± 2.18) points, (25.02 ± 3.52) points, (3.61 ± 1.60) points, (4.77 ± 0.46) points, and (11.73 ± 1.16) points, respectively in the simple ischemic stroke group and (24.91 ± 2.79) points, (20.70 ± 3.06) points, (2.87 ± 1.23) points, (4.07 ± 0.85) points, and (10.82 ± 0.93) points respectively in the combination group. There were significant differences in the scores of the MMSE, MoCA, CDT, VFT, and DST among the three groups ( F = 124.50, 318.50, 93.43, 112.60, 428.60, all P < 0.001). Significant differences in the scores of the MMSE, MoCA, CDT, VFT, and DST were observed between patients with different degrees of leukoaraiosis ( F = 69.09, 102.40, 20.98, 60.90, 57.00, all P < 0.001). Spearman correlation analysis results showed that the scores of the MMSE, MoCA, CDT, VFT, and DST were negatively correlated with the degree of leukoaraiosis ( r = -0.61, -0.69, -0.43, -0.56, -0.44, all P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis results showed that age, history of smoking and drinking, history of diabetes, history of stroke, and infarct location were the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis. Education level was a protective factor against ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis. Conclusion:The degree of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke and leukoaraiosis is related to the degree of leukoaraiosis. Age, history of smoking and drinking, history of diabetes, history of stroke, infarction location, and education level are the influential factors of cognitive impairment.

OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the effect of borneol on cutaneous toxicity of gilteritinib and to explore possible compounds that can intervene with the cutaneous toxicity.
METHODS:
C57BL/6J male mice were given gilteritinib by continuous gavage for 28 d and the damage to keratinocytes in the skin tissues was observed with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, TUNEL assay and immunohistochemistry. Human keratinocytes HaCaT were treated with gilteritinib, and cell death and morphological changes were examined by SRB staining and microscopy; apoptosis of HaCaT cells was examined by Western blotting, flow cytometry with propidium iodide/AnnexinⅤ double staining and immunofluorescence; the accumulation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was examined by flow cytometry with DCFH-DA. Compounds that can effectively intervene the cutaneous toxicity of gilteritinib were screened from a natural compound library using SRB method, and the intervention effect of borneol on gilteritinib cutaneous toxicity was further investigated in HaCaT cells and C57BL/6J male mice.
RESULTS:
In vivo studies showed pathological changes in the skin with apoptosis of keratinocytes in the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum in the modeling group. Invitro studies showed apoptosis of HaCaT cells, significant up-regulation of cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (c-PARP) and gamma-H2A histone family member X (γ-H2AX) levels, and increased accumulation of ROS in gilteritinib-modeled skin keratinocytes compared with controls. Screening of the natural compound library revealed that borneol showed excellent intervention effects on the death of HaCaT cells. In vitro, cell apoptosis was significantly reduced in the borneol+gilteritinib group compared to the gilteritinib control group. The levels of c-PARP, γ-H2AX and ROS in cells were significantly decreased. In vivo, borneol alleviated gilteritinib-induced skin pathological changes and skin cell apoptosis in mice.
CONCLUSIONS
Gilteritinib induces keratinocytes apoptosis by causing intracellular ROS accumulation, resulting in cutaneous toxicity. Borneol can ameliorate the cutaneous toxicity of gilteritinib by reducing the accumulation of ROS and apoptosis of keratinocytes in the skin tissue.
