ObjectiveBased on ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS), network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques, to explore the pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism of Renshen Wuweizi Tang in treating spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. MethodsThe chemical components in the decoction of Renshen Wuweizi Tang were systematically characterized and identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS, and network pharmacology was used to screen potential active ingredients, collect component targets and gene sets related to spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome, and obtain protein interaction relationships through STRING. Cytoscape 3.9.1 was used to construct a "formula-syndrome" association network and calculate topological feature values. Gene ontology(GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed on core genes to explore potential pharmacodynamic links, the average shortest path between the formula-drug target network and the pharmacodynamic link gene network was calculated to discover dominant pharmacodynamic links, and MCODE plugin was used to identify core gene clusters from the dominant pharmacodynamic links, which were validated using Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO), and molecular docking was performed between key components and core targets. ResultsOne hundred and thirty-seven components were identified in the negative ion mode, and eighty components were identified in the positive ion mode. After deduplication, a total of 185 components were identified, mainly composed of triterpenoid saponins(49) and flavonoids(54). Based on the "formula-syndrome" correlation network analysis, energy metabolism was determined to be the dominant pharmacodynamic link of Renshen Wuweizi Tang in the treatment of spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. The results of molecular docking showed that 7 components(adenosine, atractylenolide Ⅱ, atractylenolide Ⅲ, ginsenoside Rg1, glycyrrhizin B2, glycyrrhizin E2 and campesterol) from 4 medicinal materials(Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Poria) in this formula might regulate energy metabolism by acting on 6 targets, namely cyclic adenosine monophosphate-response element binding protein 1(CREB1), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH), interleukin(IL)-6, nuclear transcription factor(NF)-κB1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α(PPARα), and tumor necrosis factor(TNF), thus improving the symptoms of diseases related to spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. ConclusionThis study established a UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS for rapid characterization and identification of chemical components in the decoction of Renshen Wuweizi Tang, expanding the understanding of the material composition of this formula, and found that 7 components might act on the key advantageous pharmacodynamic link "energy metabolism" through 6 targets to improve the related symptoms of spleen-lung Qi deficiency syndrome. This can provide a reference for the subsequent exploration of the material benchmark and mechanism of the famous classical formula.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis, treatment and prevention method for bile duct injury caused by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods Clinical data of 16 patients with iatrogenic bile duct injury caused by LC in Meizhou People's Hospital of Guangdong Province between January 2007 and January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 7 were males and 9 were females, aged 28-75 years old with a median age of 47 years old. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received. The types of bile duct injury were classified according to the Strasberg bile duct injury classification. Treatments and postoperative clinical manifestations were analyzed, and clinical efficacy was observed. Results Among 16 patients, 9 were converted to open surgery during the surgery, and 7 underwent open surgery within 2 weeks after LC. There were 2 cases of type A bile duct injury, 7 of type D, 2 of type E1, 3 of type E2 and 2 of type E4. Two cases underwent bile duct repair alone, 1 underwent bile duct repair and stage Ⅱ endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) balloon dilatation, 4 underwent bile duct repair + T tube drainage, 3 underwent bile duct anastomosis + T tube drainage, and 7 underwent Roux-en-Y anastomosis. One case died from multiple organ failure in the perioperative period. Recurrent mild biliary tract infection was observed in 1 case after surgery, biliary tract stenosis in 1 case and obstructive jaundice in 1 case, and all the other patients recovered. Conclusions For the bile duct injury caused by LC, surgeons should not only be familiar with the early diagnosis method, clinical classification and surgical treatment principles for iatrogenic bile duct injury, but also possess the capacity of coping with emergenices. During the surgery, surgeons should carefully identify the relationship among cystic duct, common bile duct and gallbladder ampulla, and perform precisely. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment also play an important role.
