Objective To observe the effects of Banxia Xiexin Decoction on intestinal microbes and 5-HT in ulcerative colitis(UC)model mice induced by drinking sodium dextran sulfate(DSS),and to analyze the mechanism of Banxia Xiexin Decoction in treating UC from the perspective of brain-gut axis.Methods 40 male C57BL6/J mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,positive drug(mesalazine)group and Banxia Xiexin decoction group.All mice except control group were induced by 2.5%DSS solution for 7 days to establish UC model.From the 8th day,mice in the above groups were given intragastric administration of sterilized water,mesalazine aqueous solution and Banxia Xiexin decoction aqueous solution.HE staining was used to observe histopathological changes of colon,ELISA to detect 5-HT content in serum,colon and brain tissues,and 16S rRNA sequencing to further detect the changes of fecal flora in model mice.Results Compared with model group,DAI index of experimental mice model group was significantly decreased after Banxia Xiexin Decoction intervention(P<0.05);IL-2,IL-4 and IFN-γ were significantly recovered(P<0.05).The histopathological score of proximal and distal colon was significantly decreased(P<0.01).Moreover,the peripheral 5-HT level was significantly decreased(P<0.05),but the central had an increasing trend.Results of intestinal flora showed that the relative abundance of Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1,unclassified_p__Firmicutes increased(P<0.05),while Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group,Lachnoclostridium,norank_f__Oscillospiraceae and Eubacterium_xylanophilum_group decreased(P<0.05).It was also found that there were significant correlations between intestinal microflora and peripheral and central 5-HT levels.Conclusion Banxia Xiexin Decoction could play a role in treating ulcerative colitis by improving the intestinal microbial composition structure of UC mice to reduce peripheral 5-HT levels and increase central 5-HT levels,thereby improving intestinal inflammatory response and relieving anxiety.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand the relationships among plasma glucose, blood pressure level and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in Shanghai community residents, and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of community chronic disease based on TCM syndrome differentiation.Methods: Residents above35 years old will attend the Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2 DM) risk assessment at Community Health Center. By distributing questionnaires and performing glucose testing, we screened the residents at high risk of T2 DM, and conducted a physical examination of them. Further, a body constitution questionnaire was required to be completed by the residents. Results: In total, 933 residents were screened. The plasma glucose and blood pressure levels related to age, waist circumference, hip circumference, body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) . Residents with increasing blood pressure have an increased risk of T2 DM (P < 0.01) . Total 529 questionnaires were completed, and 129 subjects (24.4%) have single TCM syndromes, 75 subjects (14.2%) have at least two TCM syndromes and 325 subjects (61.4%) have no TCM syndromes. Conclusion: Plasma glucose and blood pressure are associated and interacted with several physical indexes. TCM syndromes distribution was found no significant change among subjects with different plasma glucose and blood pressure.

OBJECTIVE:To extract the feature of Achyranthes bidentata and Cyathula officinalis,and to establish image recog-nition method. METHODS:The microscopic image stitching of A. bidentata and C. officinalis was implemented by MATLAB. The color,invariant moment,stripes and the features of vascular bundle in cross section were extracted. The data was organized into da-ta matrix,and then data matrix was standardized by Zscore function;principal components were analyzed through Princomp func-tion. BP nerve network recognition mode was adopted. RESULTS:The microstructures in the micro images of the samples were kept integrated. The measured data of 27 characteristics were acquired in each group of sample. Through principal component analy-sis,the parameters of 11 main components were selected to establish BP never network. The average recognition rate of BP nerve network was 100% between 2 medicinal material relatives (n=50). CONCLUSIONS:The method can be used for micro-image auto Stitching of Chinese medicinal materials and image recognition of A. bidentata and C. officinalis.

Objective To analyze the influential factors of healthy children′s heart rate turbulence (HRT). Methods One hundred and six healthy children with ventricular premature beat (VPB) were selected in this study and the correlation among HTR parameters as turbulence onset (TO) and turbulence lope (TS) and age, gender, basic heart rate, the number of VPBs were analyzed. Results It was observed that among three age groups, TO decreased with the age, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), but there was no significant gender difference (all P > 0.05). TS increased with the age, and intergroup difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). In the group of children aged over seven, significantly higher TS was observed among boys (P < 0.05), while in the group of children aged 1 to 3 and the group aged 3 to 7 , there was no significant gender difference (P > 0.05). TO and TS decreased with the decline of heart rate (r = 0.494, P < 0.00; r = -0.569,P < 0.00 respectively), and the correlation between TO and HR, TS and HR was found.The number of VPBs had no significant correlation with TO or TS (r = 0.104,P = 0.290; r = 0.122,P =0.212). Conclusions The results demonstrate that influenced by age and basic heart rate, healthy children′s HRT increases with the age and the decline of heart rate. Therefore, the reference index of children′s HRT should differ from that of adults, which requires further evaluation.

Objective To detect the immune effect of FbaAmAb2 against the surface protein of group A Straptococcus (GAS),and explore the pathogenesis and therapy of GAS infections.Methods By subclonal and bacterial ELISA,the positive hybridoma cells were screened that can produce better titers of FbaAmAb2 against GAS-surface FbaA protein,and were injected into the peritoneal cavities of BALB/c mice to produce ascites.The collected ascites were performed to dilute,as follows,original ascite,1:2,1:4,1:8,and 1:16 to test tube agglutination.Based on the results,we selected appropriate dilution to passively immunize mice,and then challenged the mice with GAS,evaluating FbaAmAb2 neutralizing ability with GAS in mice by the survival rate of the immunized mice.Whether FbaAmAb2 could inhibit the binding of factor H to GAS was confirmed by the invasive inhibition assay.Results The IgG titer of bacteria solution ELISA is 1:160 and the titer of tube agglutination is 1∶8.The protect rates of FbaAmAb2 on preventing mice with GAS infections are as follows:66.67% in original ascite and 1:2 diluted groups,and 50% in 1:4 diluted group.Mice in each experimental group were evoked significantly protective immune responses compared with the PBS control by SPSS analysis.FbaAmAb2 can competitively inhibit factor H binding to the surface proteins FbaA of GAS,which decreased the entry of GAS into the cytoplasm of human epithelial cells through the binding of factor H.Conclusion FbaAmAb2 is promising to be used in emergent prevention or the clinical therapy for GAS infection and it is promising starting points for pharmacologic targeting and further development of new therapeutic agents for GAS.
