Objective To investigate the traditional Chinese medical(TCM)syndromes in acute exacerbation chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Methods Based on literature review,a TCM questionnaire was established.Cross-sectional study was adopted,and demographic information,TCM syndrome data and physiochemical examination results were collected.Results The main TCM syndrome types are:phlegm-stasis blocking lung due to deficiency of lung and spleen Qi(34.3%),phlegm and fluid retention in lung due to deficiency of lung,spleen and kidney(15.2%),phlegm-heat accumulation in lung due to deficiency of lung and spleen Qi(26.3%),and phlegm-heat accumulation in lung due to deficiency of Qi and yin(24.2%).The incidences of complications of pulmonary heart disease and right ventricular failure had statistical significance between the syndrome patterns(P

Objective:To investigate the effects of modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction on intestinal microflora in a rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methods:From April to June 2021, 60 specific pathogen-free Wistar rats were selected for this study. They were randomly divided into blank control, model, traditional Chinese medicine, and western medicine groups with 15 rats per group. Rat models of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with lung and spleen deficiency were established in all groups except the blank control group. Rat models in the traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine groups were administered modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction and synbiotics. Rat models in the model and blank control groups were identically administered 0.9% sodium chloride injection. After 7 days, the feces of rats in each group were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing of intestinal flora. Effective sequences were clustered to obtain operational taxonomic units for principal coordinate analysis, species composition analysis, and alpha diversity analysis. The effects of modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction on the structure, diversity, and abundance changes of intestinal flora were analyzed. Results:The dominant bacteria in the traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine groups were Firmicutes, while the dominant bacteria in the blank control and model groups were Bacteroides. The dominant bacterial groups in each group were mainly Lactobacillus and Bacteroides. Alpha diversity analysis showed that the Shannon index in the community diversity indices of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, and blank control groups was (3.65 ± 0.35), (3.65 ± 0.36), and (3.59 ± 0.20), respectively, which were significantly higher than (3.37 ± 0.26) in the model group ( t = 2.49, 2.44, 2.60, all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the Shannon index among traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, and blank control groups (all P > 0.05). The Sobs index of the traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, and blank control group was (458.67 ± 73.11), (454.80 ± 95.13), and (525.93 ± 101.88), respectively, which were significantly higher than (337.40 ± 37.49) in the model group ( t = 5.72, 4.45, 6.73, all P < 0.05). The Sobs index in the blank control group was higher than that in the western medicine group. There was no significant difference in the Sobs index between blank control and traditional Chinese medicine groups and between western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine groups (both P > 0.05). Principal coordinate analysis revealed that compared with the blank control group, Actinomycetes decreased and Proteobacteria and Desulfurization bacteria increased at the phylum level in the model group, while compared with the blank control group, Bacteroides, Rombutzia,Trichospirillus, and Parabacteroides increased, and Prevotella, Clostridium, Brucella, and Ruminococcus decreased at the genus level. Compared with the western medicine group, Bacillus, Prevotella, Brucella, and Prevotellidae in the traditional Chinese medicine group increased, while Clostridium, Pectinobacter, Christensen, and Trichospirillus decreased in the traditional Chinese medicine group. There was a statistically significant difference in the composition of the bacterial population between groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:There is an imbalance in intestinal microecology in a rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction can regulate the intestinal microecology environment, improve the structure of intestinal flora, and increase the diversity and abundance of intestinal flora.

Objective To analyze the expression of serum carbohydrate antigen 153(CA153) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in the cervical cancer patients. Methods 72 cases of cervix neoplasms patients received from Jun 2010 to July 2013,were divided into the cervical cancer group(36 cases)and cervical benign lesions group(36 cases)according to different pathological results, 36 cases of healthy women undergoing physical examination at the same time were chosen as control group. The level of serum CA153 and HE4 of above research subjects were detected and analyzed. Results The level of serum CA153 of cervical cancer group(79.6±14.8)U/mL was higher than that of cervical benign lesions group (t=5.17, P<0.05) and control group (t=7.31, P<0.05), there was statistically significant differ-ence; the level of serum HE4 of cervical cancer grou (216.3±8.1) pmol/L was higher that of cervical benign lesions group(t=9.71,P<0.05) and control group (t=11.84, P<0.05), there was statistically significant difference; the posi-tive rate of combined detection was higher than that of single detection, there was statistically significant difference(χ2=4.527,P<0.05); The level of serum CA153 and HE4 in III/IV stage were higher than that in I/II stage, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The level of serum CA153 and HE4 of cervical cancer patients increase significantly. The combined detection of CA153 and HE4 can improve the diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and accordance rate of cervical cancer prominently,so it has great reference value in the early diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer.
