Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of Liyanling granules on chronic pharyngitis. Methods:The chronic pharyn-gitis rat models were established, and administered orally for 7 days. The influence of Liyanling granules on the pathology of pharyngeal tissue and the contents of PGE2 , IL-1β and TNF-α were observed. The blood was withdrawn to detect the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, and the anti-inflammatory effects were observed in two kinds of rat models:foot pad swelling induced by carrageenin and agar-induced chronic granuloma. Results:Liyanling granule could significantly decrease the levels of PGE2 , IL-1βand TNF-α( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01) and the viscosity of blood and plasma(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), improve the pathological morphology of rat pharynge-al tissues(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), inhibit the swelling of foot pad induced by carrageenin and the granuloma induced by agar in rats(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:Liyanling granules has a certain therapeutic effect on chronic pharyngitis in rats, and the mecha-nism may be related with the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines PGE2 ,IL-1β and TNF-α and the improvement of blood rheology.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of injection test which is used to locate esophageal balloon catheter.Methods A prospective study was conducted. The patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) admitted to general intensive care unit (ICU) of Beijing Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2015 and March 2017 were enrolled. The commercially available esophageal balloon catheter was modified to perform injection test. The catheter was withdrawn step by step and the injection test was repeated until the presence disturbance wave presented, which indicated that the balloon had just entered the esophagus. The position where disturbance wave appears was named 0 cm. End-expiratory occlusions were performed at the positions of+15,+10,+5, 0, -5, -10 and -15 cm, respectively, and the changes of esophageal pressure (Pes) and airway pressures (Paw) were measured in the spontaneous breathing and passive ventilation, and the ratio between the changes (ΔPes/ΔPaw) was calculated.Results A total of 20 patients were enrolled, of which 15 patients finished both the spontaneous and the passive ventilation parts, and 2 patients finished only the spontaneous part and 3 patients finished only passive part. ① Disturbance waves could be induced by injection test in all patients. The average depth of disturbance wave in spontaneous breathing was deeper than that in passive ventilation (cm: 42.4±3.8 vs. 41.8±3.3), but there was no significant difference between the two ventilation settings (P = 0.132). No adverse events occurred during the study period. ② Pes increased with the stepwise withdraw of esophageal catheter, reached the maximal value at+5 cm, and then decreased when the catheter was further withdrawn, no matter in the spontaneous or the passive ventilation. In spontaneous breathing, the ΔPes/ΔPaw was within the ideal range (0.8-1.2) at the positions of 0, -5 and -10 cm. The ΔPes/ΔPaw was closest to unity at the positions of 0 cm (0.98±0.15). The ΔPes/ΔPaw at -15 cm (0.66±0.26) was significantly lower than that at 0 cm (P < 0.05). For passive ventilation, the ΔPes/ΔPaw was within the ideal range at the positions of -5 cm and -10 cm, and the ΔPes/ΔPaw was closest to unity at the positions of-10 cm (0.94±0.12). The ΔPes/ΔPaw at 0 cm and -5 cm was significantly higher than that at -10 cm (1.43±0.31 and 1.12±0.14, respectively); while the ΔPes/ΔPaw at -15 cm (0.68±0.23) was significantly lower than that at -10 cm (allP < 0.01).Conclusions Ideal position of the esophageal balloon catheter could be determined quickly and easily by using injection test. The method is safe and clinically feasible.Clinical Trial Registration Clinical Trials, NCT02446938.

[Objective] To investigate the change of liver histology, proliferation of BDEC, and expression of TGF-β in different stages of liver chelestusis. [Methods] ①Rat cholestatic livers were induced by common bile duct ligation (BDL) and separated into 3 groups, namely control group (DO), 7 days after BDL group (DT), and 18 days after BDL group (D18). ② Histological changes of livers in different groups were evaluated based on Knodell HAI score. ③ Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of TGF-β in liver tissue and isolated BDEC in different groups. ④ Statistically analyzing the correlation between Knedell HAl score and the levels of TGF-β_1 mRNA. ⑤ In vitro study was performed to investigate the effect of TGF-β_1 on an immortalized mouse intrahepatic bililary epithelial cell line (mIBEC). [Results] (I) Knedell HAI score and the proliferation of intrahepatic bile ducts increased as the liver cholestasis aggravated. ② The levels of TGF-β_1, TGF-β_2, and TGF-β_3 mRNA were significantly up-regulated in liver tissues and BDEC as the liver cholestasis aggravated. ③ Positive correlation was found between Knedell fibrotic score and the levels of TGF-β_1 mRNA in liver tissues and BDEC(r=0.9376, P<0.05 and r=0.9682, P < 0.01). ④ In vitro study showed that TGF-β_1 inhibited the proliferation of mIBEC. [Conclusion] ① Liver injury, biliary proliferation, and the levels of TGF-β mRNA expression increased as liver cholestasis aggravated. ② The interaction of TGF-β_1 and BDEC plays an important role in the pathogenesis of BDL induced cholestatic liver disease. ④ Up-regulated expression of TGF-β_1 mRNA in the proliferated BDEC participates in the formation of BDL induced cholestatic liver fibrosis.
