Severe acute pancreatitis （SAP） is closely related to dysfunction of the spleen-stomach ascent and descent. Due to the influence of modern lifestyle and dietary factors， Qi deficiency in the spleen and stomach has become the pathological basis of SAP. Its pathogenesis is characterized by dampness， heat， pathogenic factors， stasis， stagnation， obstruction， Fu-organs Qi obstruction， pathogenic excess， and healthy Qi deficiency. At different stages of the disease course of SAP， there is a focus on both pathogenic excess and healthy Qi deficiency. It is specifically manifested as Fu-organs stagnation and heat accumulation， as well as pathogenic excess and healthy Qi deficiency， during the systemic inflammatory response phase， intermingling of blood stasis and pathogenic factors， as well as Qi deficiency and blood stasis， during the infection period， and weakness of the spleen and stomach， as well as healthy Qi deficiency and lingering pathogenic factors， during the residual infection period. Based on the theory that "the spleen and stomach are the acquired foundation"， a staged treatment method centered on the core principle of "strengthening healthy Qi to eliminate pathogenic factors" was developed. The staged treatment method included "clearing the Fu-organs to expel turbidity， replenishing Qi to harmonize the stomach， activating blood circulation to expel pathogenic factors， replenishing Qi to relieve pain， promoting digestion to stimulate appetite， and replenishing Qi to invigorate the spleen". In clinical practice， Hewei Tongxie mixture， Yikang mixture， and Shiwei Jianpi Xiaoshi powder were selected for staged treatment of SAP. This article systematically summarized the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine， Western medicine foundation， modern pharmacological mechanisms， and clinical application experience of the staged treatment of SAP with "strengthening the healthy Qi to eliminate pathogenic factors"， providing new ideas for the treatment of SAP with traditional Chinese medicine.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Qifu Lizhong decoction restores intestinal mucosal barrier function in ulcerative colitis （UC） by regulating the myosin light chain kinase （MLCK）/phosphorylated myosin light chain （p-MLC） signaling pathway. MethodsA rat model of UC with spleen-kidney Yang deficiency syndrome and an in vitro intestinal barrier injury model were established. In vivo experiments were conducted to evaluate the body weight， disease activity index （DAI） scores， and changes in colonic pathological morphology in each group of rats. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and myeloperoxidase （MPO）. Transmission electron microscopy （TEM） was employed to observe the morphology and structure of tight junctions （TJ） in rat colonic epithelium. In vitro experiments were conducted to observe the morphology of F-actin in human colon adenocarcinoma cell line-2（Caco-2） cells by phalloidin staining. Combining both in vivo and in vitro approaches， immunohistochemistry （IHC）， immunofluorescence （IF）， and Western blot were applied to detect the expression and phosphorylation levels of TJ proteins ［zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1）， Occludin， Claudin-1］ as well as key proteins in the MLCK/p-MLC signaling pathway. ResultsIn vivo experiments demonstrated that， compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited significant body weight loss， elevated DAI scores and histopathological scores （P<0.01）， increased colonic TNF-α， IL-1β， and MPO levels （P<0.01）. TJ structures were disrupted， and the expression of ZO-1， Occludin， and Claudin-1 was significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The protein expression levels of myosin light chain （MLC）， MLCK， phosphorylated （p）-MLC， and p-MLCK significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all Qifu Lizhong decoction dose groups exhibited increased body weight， as well as significantly decreased DAI scores and histopathological scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The colonic levels of MPO， TNF-α， and IL-1β were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In the Qifu Lizhong decoction + inhibitor group， the expression of TJ proteins ZO-1， Occludin， and Claudin-1 significantly increased （P<0.01）， while the protein expression levels of MLC， MLCK， p-MLC， and p-MLCK were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. In vitro experiment results showed that， compared with the normal group， the TNF-α group exhibited disordered cytoskeletal architecture， weakened fluorescence signals of ZO-1， Occludin， and Claudin-1， and significantly elevated protein expression levels of MLC， MLCK， p-MLC， and p-MLCK （P<0.01）. Compared with the TNF-α group， the Qifu Lizhong decoction + inhibitor group restored the ordered arrangement of the F-actin cytoskeleton， normalized the expression and localization of TJ proteins ZO-1， Occludin， and Claudin-1， and significantly decreased the protein expression levels of MLC， MLCK， p-MLC， and p-MLCK （P<0.01）. ConclusionQifu Lizhong decoction may exert its therapeutic effects on UC by inhibiting the MLCK/p-MLC signaling pathway， thereby stabilizing TJ structure and repairing intestinal barrier integrity.

Objective To investigate the impact on ovarian reserve function by different hemostasis methods during laparoscopic surgery in treatment of ovarian endometrioma.Methods From September 2008 to February 2010,162 cases with ovarian endometrioma undergoing laparoscopic surgery in Shandong Provincial Hospital were enrolled in this study.At the 3rd day of the menstrual cycle before surgery and the 1 st,3rd,6th and 12th cycle after surgery,serum FSH and anti-mullerian hormone(AMH) and ultrasound basal antral follicle count (AFC) and peak systolic velocity (PSV) were examined and compared.Based on hemostasis method,those patients were divided into 3 groups,including 54 cases in bipolar hemostasis,54 cases in ultrasonic scalpel hemostasis and suture after excision of endometrioma.Results (1) Before surgery:no significant different factors among three groups before surgery were observed,including age,size of endometrioma,the level of FSH,AMH,AFC,PSV (P ＞ 0.05).(2) Ovarian reserve function after surgery:①FSH:at the 1st,3rd,6th and 12th month follow-up,the FSH in the bipolar group was (11.7 ±4.0),(9.9 ± 4.0),(9.5 ± 4.3),(9.5 ± 3.9) U/L,and the FSH in ultrasonic scalpel group was (11.4 ±4.3),(9.7 ± 4.0),(9.2 ± 3.7),(9.9 ± 4.6) U/L,were significantly higher than (9.3 ± 3.8),(6.7 ±3.0),(6.5 ± 3.2),(6.4 ± 2.2) U/L in suture group respectively (all P ＜ 0.05).()AMH:at the 1 st,3rd,6th and 12th month follow-up,the AMH in the bipolar group was (1.8 ±0.9),(1.8 ± 1.0),(1.9 ±1.0),(2.0 ± 1.0) μg/L,and the AMH in the ultrasonic scalpel group was (1.6 ±± 0.8),(1.8 ± 1.0),(2.0 ± 1.1),(2.1 ± 1.0) μg/L,which were significantly lower than (2.8 ± 1.7),(2.9 ± 1.6),(3.0 ±1.3),(3.2 ± 1.5) μg/L in suture group,respectively (all P ＜ 0.05).③AFC:there was no significant difference of APC among the three groups in the 1st month after surgery.However,at the 3rd,6th and 12th month follow-up,the AFC of 4.8 ± 1.4,5.9 ± 1.5,6.1 ± 1.5 in the suture group was significant higher than 3.7 ± 1.4,4.1 ± 1.4,4.0 ± 1.5 in bipolar group and 3.6 ± 1.3,4.0 ± 1.1,3.9 ± 1.5 in ultrasonic group,respectively (all P ＜ 0.05).④PSV:at the 1 st,3rd,6th and 12th month follow-up,the PSV of the bipolar group(7.9 ±3.5),(8.1 ±3.3),(8.4 ±3.1),(8.6±3.0) cm/s in bipolar group and (8.1 ±3.5),(8.0 ± 3.0),(7.9 ± 3.2),(8.0 ± 2.9) cm/s in ultrasonic group were significant lower than (10.9 ± 3.3),(12.0 ± 3.2),(11.8 ± 3.0),(12.1 ± 4.1) cm/s in suture group,respectively.(allP＜0.05).Conclusions Bipolar or ultrasonic scalpel hemostasis during laparoscopic excision of ovarian endometrioma is associated with a significant reduction in ovarian reserve.Electrocoagulation of the ovarian tissue should be avoided.
