Objective To evaluate the effect of gabapentin for treatment of neuropathic pain induced by bilateral sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (bCCI) of rats.Methods Forty-eight female SPF Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 180-200 g,aged 7-9 weeks,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:control group (C group),sham operation group (S group),bCCI group,and bCCI + gabapentin group (G group).Gabapentin 100 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected once at 15 min before operation and twice a day during 7-13 days after operation for 7 consecutive days.The bilateral mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT),thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) and number of cold-stimulated paw withdrawal were measured before operation (baseline) and at 1,3,6,8,10,14 days after operation.Results Compared with C group,the bilateral MWT was significantly decreased,and the bilateral TWL was shortened in bCCI and G groups,and no significant change was found in MWT and TWL in S group.Compared with bCCI group,the bilateral MWT was significantly increased,the bilateral TWL was prolonged,and no significant change was found in the number of cold-stimulated paw withdrawal in G group.Conclusion Gabapentin can relieve thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia induced by bCCI,however,it exerts no effect on cold allodynia in rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer by reserving the left colon artery and root lymph node accurately according to different types of inferior mesenteric artery.Methods In this study,80 cases of rectal cancer patients diagnosed and treated from January 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the research objects.According to the envelope random grouping method,the above patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 40 cases in each group.According to the intestinal mesenteric classification of patients,the observation group carried out precise low ligation operation,while the control group adopted traditional high ligation operation.The perioperative indexes,complications,gastrointestinal function,gastrin and motilin were compared between the two groups.Result There was no significant difference in operation time,intraoperative blood loss,exhaust time and lymph node positive rate between the two groups(P＞0.05),and the number of lymph node dissection in the observation group(24.27±5.92)was significantly higher than that in the control group(16.12±5.99),there was significant difference(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in dysuria,anastomotic bleeding and anastomotic leakage between the two groups(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference between the recovery time of bowel sounds and the time of eating(P＞0.05).After operation,the gastrin and motilin water in the two groups decreased significantly,but the gastrin[(133.33±16.14)pg/ml]and motilin(318.33±24.11)pg/ml]in the observation group were significantly higher than that of the control group[(114.78±15.97)pg/ml,(287.44±23.09)pg/ml],the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical resection of rectal cancer according to the different types of inferior mesenteric artery accurately retain the left colon artery and root lymph node dissection,postoperative gastrointestinal function and lymph node dissection significantly improved,for the prognosis of patients with positive significance.

Objective:To investigate the serum levels of myonectin, corticostatin and Delta like ligand 4 (DLL4) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) diabetes retinopathy (DR) and their clinical significance.Methods:A prospective selection of 341 T2DM patients admitted to Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Huairou Hospital from May 2020 to March 2022 was conducted. The patients underwent fundus examination and were divided into a non DR group ( n=85 cases) and a DR group ( n=256 cases) based on DR diagnostic criteria. The DR group was divided into non proliferative and proliferative types according to the staging criteria in China′s DR clinical diagnosis and treatment guidelines, with 142 cases and 114 cases, respectively; 190 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum sarconectin, corticostatin, and DLL4 in three groups, collect patient data, and detect biochemical indicators. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of DR, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between serum sarconectin, corticostatin, DLL4, glucose and lipid metabolism, and insulin resistance; Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of DR, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between serum sarconectin, corticostatin, DLL4, glucose and lipid metabolism, and insulin resistance; The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of serum sarconectin, corticostatin, and DLL4 in DR. Results:The levels of serum sarconectin and DLL4 in the DR group and non DR group were higher than those in the control group, while the levels of corticostatin were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05); The levels of sarconectin and DLL4 in the DR group were higher than those in the non DR group, while the levels of corticostatin were lower than those in the non DR group (all P<0.05). The serum levels of sarconectin and DLL4 in proliferative DR patients were higher than those in non proliferative DR patients, while the levels of corticostatin were lower than those in non proliferative DR patients (all P<0.05). The duration of T2DM in the DR group was longer than that in the non DR group, with smoking and alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, triglyceride and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were higher than those in non DR group (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of T2DM, systolic blood pressure, smoking and alcohol consumption, glycated hemoglobin, triglycerides, myonectin, corticostatin and DLL4 were the influencing factors of DR (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis results showed that serum sarconectin, DLL4, and fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR were positively correlated (all P<0.05), while cortisol was negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and HOMA-IR (all P<0.05). The ROC analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for the diagnosis of DR was 0.691, 0.745, 0.749, and 0.861 for sarconectin, corticostatin, and DLL4 alone and in combination, respectively. The combined application had higher diagnostic value. Conclusions:Patients with T2DM complicated with DR have elevated levels of serum sarconectin and DLL4, while decreased levels of corticostatin, which are closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism and insulin resistance, and are influencing factors for the occurrence of DR. Combined detection of the three can improve the value of predicting DR.

Objective: Network pharmacology combines drug and disease targets with biological information networks based on the integrity and systematicness of the interactions between drugs and disease targets. This study aims to explore the molecular basis of Hanshi Zufei formula for treatment of COVID-19 based on network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques. Methods: Using TCMSP, the chemical constituents and molecular targets of Atractylodis Rhizoma, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, Pogostemonis Herba, Tsaoko Fructus, Ephedrae Herba, Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix, Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, and Arecae Semen were investigated. The predicted targets of novel coronavirus were screened using the NCBI and GeneCards databases. To further screen the drug-disease core targets network, the corresponding target proteins were queried using multiple databases (Biogrid, DIP, and HPRD), a protein interaction network graph was constructed, and the network topology was analyzed. The molecular docking studies were also performed between the network's top 15 compounds and the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) 3CL hydrolytic enzyme and angiotensin conversion enzyme II (ACE2). Results: The herb-active ingredient-target network contained nine drugs, 86 compounds, and 49 drug-disease targets. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis resulted in 1566 GO items (P < 0.05), among which 1438 were biological process items, 35 were cell composition items, and 93 were molecular function items. Fourteen signal pathways were obtained by enrichment screening of the KEGG pathway database (P < 0.05). The molecular docking results showed that the affinity of the core active compounds with the SARS-CoV-2 3CL hydrolase was better than for the other compounds. Conclusion: Several core compounds can regulate multiple signaling pathways by binding with 3CL hydrolase and ACE2, which might contribute to the treatment of COVID-19.

METHODS ：HPLC method and HPLC-ELSD method were adopted. The determination was performed on Thermo BDS Hypersil C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile- 0.2％ acetic acid at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃，and the detection wavelength was set at 258 nm. The sample size was 10 μL. The determination was performed on XDB-C 18 columnwith mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1％ acetic acid （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 0.9 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃ . The temperature of atomizer was 40 ℃ and the flow rare of N 2 was 1.6 mL/min. The sample size was 10 μL. Using mangiferin and timosaponin B Ⅱ as reference ，Fingerprint Similarity Eva- com luation System of TCM Chromatogram （2004A edition ）was adopted to draw the fingerprint of ethanol extract and acetoneextract from 20 batches of A. asphodeloides and its different processed products to confirm common peaks. Using scave nging rate of 1，1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine（DPPH）radical as index，antioxidant activities of ethanol extract and acetone extract from 20 batches of A. asphodeloides and its processed products were investigated. Using scavenging rate of DPPH radical as dependent variable ，common peak area as independent variable ，PLSR was used to analyze the spectrum-effect relationship of ethanol extract and acetone extract from A. asphodeloides with antioxidantion activity. RESULTS ：Eight peaks （M1-M8）were identified in the fingerprints of ethanol extracts from 20 batches of processed A. asphodeloides . Mangiferin （chromatogram peak M 7）was identified with similarity of 0.389-1.000；seven comon peaks （S1-S7）and timosaponin B Ⅱ（peak S 5）were identified in the fingerprint of acetone extract ，and the similarity was 0.044-0.999. DPPH radical scavenging rate of ethanol extract from 20 batches of A. asphodeloides and its processed products was 21.23％- 81.39％，and A. asphodeloides was significantly lower than salt-processed A. asphodeloides with salt wine-processed A. asphodeloides （P＜0.001）；and that of acetone extract was 49.73％-83.78％，and A. asphodeloides was significantly higher than stir-baked A. asphodeloides with salt ，wine or fire （P＜0.001）. The standardized regression coefficients of peaks M 2-M7 in the spectrum of ethanol extract from A. asphodeloides were all greater than 0，which was positively correlated with antioxidant activity. Only the variable importance projection （VIP）value of peak M 7 was greater than 1，which had an important contribution. The standardized regression coefficients of peaks S 4-S7 in the acetone extract spectrum of A. asphodeloides were greater than 0，and were positively correlated with antioxidant activity. The order of VIP values was peak S 5＞S6＞S4，and the VIP values were all greater than 1. CONCLUSIONS：The fingerprint of the different processed products A. asphodeloides and its antioxidant activity spectral effect relationship were successfully established ；mangiferin（peak M 7）may be the main antioxidant substance of ethanol extract from A. asphodeloides . Timosaponin B Ⅱ（peak S 5），peak S 6 and peak S 4 may be the main antioxidant substance in acetone extract from A. asphodeloides .
