Objective To explore the molecule mechanisms of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang related proteins. Methods Animal model of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang was established through electrical trigeminal ganglion stimulation,and by administering orally with Fuzi decoction. The total proteins of splenic lymphocytes in the rats were separated by immobilized pH gradient-based two-dimensional gel electrophoresis.

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and database were used to identify the differential proteins. Result Ten differential spots protein were identified,and they were chloride intracellular channel 1,thioredoxin peroxidase Ⅰ,thioredoxin peroxidase Ⅱ,sequence 7 from patent WO9709348,Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI) alpha,actin related protein 2/3 complex neurofilament light polypeptide,proteasome subunit beta type and heat shock protein-27,annexin A1. Conclusion These protein may be involved in the development of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang. These data provide useful clues for elucidating the mechanisms of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the pathogenic mechanism of liver-yang hyperactivity type of hypertension and to observe the effects of Pinggan Qianyang Formula (PGQYF), a compound of traditional Chinese herbals for calming the liver and suppressing yang, so as to provide experimental evidence for new marker proteins of drug therapy. METHODS: A rat model of liver-yang hyperactivity was prepared with spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHRs) by administration of Aconiti Praeparatae Decoction. Adrenal proteins were separated by 2D gel electrophoresis (2-DE). The differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and database analysis. RESULTS: The rat model of liver-yang hyperactivity was successfully reproduced, and the PGQYF could decrease the grades of irritability, conjunctival congestion and systolic blood pressure of the rats (P<0.05, P<0.01). After analysis, twelve obviously differentially expressed proteins were found, eight of which were identified. The expression levels of isocitrate dehydrogenase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the untreated group were up-regulated as compared with those in the normal control group, and down-regulated in the treatment group. The expression levels of ferritin light chain, elongation factor Tu, Rho GDP disassociation inhibitor 1, flavin reductase and basic transcription factor 3 in the untreated group were down-regulated as compared with those in the normal control group, and up-regulated in the treatment group. CONCLUSION: Differentially expressed adrenal proteins in SHRs with live-yang hyperactivity are successfully identified. This approach may lay a foundation for the further investigation of pathogenic mechanisms in hypertension with liver-yang hyperactivity and the mechanisms of PGQYF treatment.

Objective:To establish criteria of commonly-seen TCM syndromes of depression.Methods:Consultation of specialists,clinical epidemiological survey,scores of syndrome degree rating and statistical analysis of multiple factors were adopted to establish the criteria for main syndrome differentiation of 5 commonly-seen TCM syndromes of depression.Results:Of 1977 cases of depression,1731 cases were stagnation of the liver-Qi,stagnation of the liver-Qi and deficiency of the spleen,stagnation of the liver-Qi and phlegm,deficiency of both the heart and spleen,and Yin-deficiency of both the liver and kidney.And according to statistical analysis,the criteria for main syndrome differentiation of the 5 syndromes were established.Conclusion:Commonly-seen syndromes of depression have common cause of disease and pathogenesis.Stagnation of the liver-Qi is basic syndrome,and in clinical manifestation of various syndromes emotional depression is common main syndrome,but various syndromes still have other main syndrome.

Objective To explore the treatment perscription with the method of integrated traditional and western medicine in type 2 diabetes.Methods With the methods of differential diagnosis of diseases in western medicine and differential symptoms and signs in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),the diseases were separated into different patterns of syndrome and treated with propotional prescription of TCM.The curative effect was evaluated with the scores in the integration of symptoms and the changes on the levels of blood glucose and glycated-hemoglobin.Results Clinical curative effects were achieved using the prescription of TCM and the simple western medicines.The curative effects were much better on lowering integration of symptoms and the level of pre-meal blood glucose with the prescription of TCM than those of the simple western medicine.Conclusion The clinical curative effects are significant on relieving the clinical symptoms of patients with the prescription of TCM than those of the simple western medicine.
