This paper summarized Professor XU Jingfan's clinical experience of using Zisu (Perillafrutescens) for the treatment of spleen and stomach diseases. According to the disease characteristics, Professor XU flexibly selected the different parts of Zisu. It is believed that the leaf of Zisu is good at dispersing, dredging qi movement, and good at treating external contraction as well as internal damage due to depression or stagnation, and being effective in relieving abdominal lumps and fullness with vomiting; its stem is good at widering chest and diaphragm, smoothing qi and the middle, and dredging the twelve meridians, which can treat qi stagnation, especially suitable for distention and fullness in the midline of body like throat, esophagus, and stomach. Perilla seed is good at depressing qi and eliminating phlegm, loosening bowels to relieve constipation, which can be used in diseases of combined phlegm and qi, and combined treatment of lung and intestines to treat long-term constipation. In clinic, Huanglian (Coptis chinensis)- Zisu leaf is often used as pungent dispersing and bitter descending, promoting qi movement to treat persistent nausea and vomiting; Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma)-Zisu stem is employed as regulating qi to smooth the middle, soothing qi to disperse liver stagnation for various syndromes of qi stagnation; Huomaren (Cannabis Fructus)-Zisu seed is utilized to clear the lungs and benefit qi, and moisten intestines by purgation for chronic constipation. The original ancient formulas are flexibly modified and tailored, so usually modified Banxia Houpo Decoction (半夏厚朴汤) is used to treat plum-stone qi (globus hystericus) and esophageal disorders, while modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤) combined with Xiangsu Powder (香苏散) is used to treat gastroptosis, then self-prescribed Jixing Tuxie Formula (急性吐泻方) is used for acute diarrhea, and Xiexie Waizhi Formula (泄泻外治方) is applied for chronic cold-dampness diarrhea.

Objective To explore the effects of combined exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) and high-fat diet on liver lipid metabolism and hepatocyte senescence in mice, and to elucidate the potential mechanisms of the onset and development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods Specific pathogen free C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups, with 10 mice with equal numbers of each sex in each group. The mice in the control group and the simple BPA group were fed with regular diet, while others four groups of mice were fed with high-fat diet. At the same time, the mice in the simple BPA group were intragastric administered with BPA at a dose of 50 μg/kg body weight, while the mice in the low-, medium- and high-dose BPA+high-fat groups were intragastric administered with BPA at doses of 5, 50 and 500 μg/kg body weight respectively. The mice in the control group and the high-fat group were intragastric administered with the same volume of corn oil once per day for 90 consecutive days. Liver tissues were subjected to hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Oil Red O staining. Liver coefficients and lipid-stained area ratios were calculated. Serum level of total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, and the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were determined using an automatic biochemical analyzer. The hepatic tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-10 levels were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relative expression of cholesterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1), CCAAT enhancer binding protein α, P16, and phosphorylated histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) in liver tissues was detected using Western blotting. The interaction effect of the combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet was observed based on the result of mice in the control group, the simple high-fat group, the simple BPA group, and the medium-dose BPA group+high-fat group (the combined exposure group) using a 2×2 factorial design. The results of mice in the simple high-fat group and the low-, medium-, and high-dose BPA+high-fat groups were used to observe the effect of BPA exposure dose under high-fat diet conditions. Results i) The interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high fat. The HE and Oil Red O staining results indicated that the combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet successfully established NAFLD in mice. The interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet on serum ALT activity and the relative expression of P16 in the liver tissue of female mice, as well as the serum ALT and AST activities and the relative expression of SREBP1 in the liver tissue of male mice was significant (all P<0.05). Specifically, the serum ALT activity of male mice in the combined exposure group was higher than that in the simple high-fat group (P<0.05), while the ALT activity in the serum of female mice in the combined exposure group was lower than that in the simple BPA group (P<0.05). The relative expression of SREBP1 protein in the liver tissue of male mice in the combined exposure group was higher than that in the control group, the simple high-fat group, and the simple BPA group (all P<0.05). For the other indicators, there were no significant differences in the interactive effect of combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet (all P>0.05). ii) Dose effects of BPA exposure. The HE and Oil Red O staining result showed that the degree of vacuolar steatosis in the liver of female and male mice of medium- and high-dose BPA + high-fat groups was aggravated, and the range of inflammatory cell infiltration was expanded when compared with same-sex mice in the simple high-fat group. The serum ALT activity and the fat stained area ratio, as well as the relative expression of P16 in liver tissue of female mice in high-dose BPA + high-fat group increased (all P<0.05), while the level of IL-10 in liver tissue decreased (P<0.05), compared with the female mice in simple high-fat group. The serum ALT activity, the TNF-α level in liver tissue, and the relative expression of SREBP1, P16 and γ-H2AX proteins in liver tissue of male mice in high-dose BPA + high-fat group increased (all P<0.05), while the IL-6 level in liver tissue decreased (P<0.05), compared with the male mice in simple high-fat group. For the female or male mice in the low- and medium-dose BPA + high-fat groups, only some of the above indicators showed significant changes (all P<0.05). Conclusion The combined exposure to BPA and high-fat diet has a synergistic effect on the onset and development of NAFLD. The mechanism may be related to inducing cellular senescence and modulation of lipid synthesis pathways, thereby affecting liver steatosis. The exposure dose of BPA may affect the synergistic effect.
