This article systematically reviews the current research status as well as diagnosis and treatment strategies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Studies demonstrate that TCM, based on the "disease-syndrome combination" approach, exhibits multi-target advantages in alleviating symptoms of various GERD subtypes, promoting mucosal repair, regulating emotions, and facilitating the reduction of western medication. To address clinical challenges such as symptom overlap and limited therapeutic efficacy, strategies have been proposed including "treating different diseases with the same method" and integrated regulation based on viscera correlation. Future efforts should focus on elucidating the mechanisms of compound prescriptions, promoting TCM drug development under the "three-combination" evaluation framework that integrates TCM theory, human experience and clinical trial evidence, and optimizing integrated traditional and western medicine models to enhance GERD management.

This paper systematically reviews the core concepts and lines of theoretical inheritance of major spleen-stomach theories in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including spleen deficiency theory, spleen-stomach damp-heat theory, and liver-spleen disharmony theory. It is found that these theories have all undergone a developmental trajectory characterized by classical foundation, refinement of therapeutic methods, systematization of pathogenesis, and modern innovation. The evolution of spleen-stomach theory has achieved a shift from a singular focus on tonifying the spleen to regulating dynamic middle-jiao (焦) balance, and from localized spleen-stomach regulation to the circular movement of qi involving all five zang organs. In terms of modern disease-syndrome integrative research, spleen deficiency syndrome is shown to be closely associated with impairment of the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier, metabolic disorders, and gene polymorphisms related to Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric diseases. Spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome is closely linked to hyperactive energy metabolism, inflammatory cytokines, and abnormal expression of aquaporins. Liver-spleen disharmony syndrome is mainly associated with dysregulation of the brain-gut axis and microbiota-related metabolic disorders. It is proposed that future research on spleen-stomach diseases and syndromes should further elucidate their potential multidimensional differential biological characteristics, thereby promoting the modernization of the TCM discipline of spleen-stomach studies.

[Objective]To investigate a simple method for the rapid detection and precise analysis of trace triptolide(TP)in vitro.[Methods]Initially,4-carboxy-4'-methyl-2,2'-bipyridine(Me-bpy-COOH)and cis-bis(2,2'-bipyridine)dichlororuthenium(Ⅱ)(cis-Ru(bpy)2CL2)were used as raw materials to synthesize tripyridine ruthenium monocarboxylic acid fluorescent reagent,namely bis(2,2'-bipyridyl)(4-methyl-4'-carboxy-2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(Ⅱ)bishexafluorophosphate[Ru(bpy)2(bpy-COOH)2PF6].Subsequently,the pre-column derivatization reaction conditions of Ru(bpy)2(bpy-COOH)2PF6 with TP was optimized through orthogonal test and a methodological evaluation of the high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection(HPLC-FLD)of triptolide-terpyridine ruthenium derivative(TTRD)was conducted.Taking commercially available Kunxian Capsules as object,the newly established evaluation method was adopted for detection.[Results]A fluorescent derivative of TP,TTRD was obtained and was characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H-NMR)and ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS).The optimized pre-column derivatization reaction conditions were a 4:1 molar ratio of Ru(bpy)2(bpy-COOH)2PF6 to TP,a reaction time of 2 hours and a reaction temperature of 45℃.This study presented a HPLC-FLD method for the pre-column derivatization of TP.The method demonstrated a good linear relationship within the range of 50 to 1 200 μg·L-1.The TP content in Kunxian Capsules was measured by using this method,yielding a result of 78.78 μg·g-1,which fell within the prescribed range of national drug standards.[Conclusion]The pre-column-derived HPLC-FLD method for TP exhibited good sensitivity,accuracy and reliability,expanding the HPLC detection range for TP.

9. Development and Evaluation of Antler DNA Detection Kit
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2020;55(11):889-894
OBJECTIVE: To study the DNA fingerprint characteristics of the precious Chinese medicinal antler, identify and analyze the velvet antler at the molecular level, and develop the velvet DNA detection kit and evaluate its performance. METHODS: Using antler cytochrome C oxidase subunit Ⅰ (Co Ⅰ) and velvet mitochondrial cytochrome b (cytochrome b, Cyt b) as target genes, five pairs of specific primers were designed by bioinformatics technology, and the oxidase subunit Ⅰ of cytochrome C, mt DNA CoⅠ 1 (NC_013834.1), was determined to be the best specific primer by experimental screening. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was conducted on velvet antler samples, and the PCR reaction system and reaction conditions were optimized to develop a velvet DNA detection kit. The performance of the kit was evaluated and commercially available antler samples were tested. RESULTS: The purity of the DNA extracted by the antler DNA test kit was 1.785-1.906. The specificity of the kit was reflected in the detection of genuine bands, and there was no band in the fakes. The sensitivity was up to 3.125 ng•μL-1. The kit was still effective after 5, 10, 15 and 20 freeze-thaw cycles. The results of repeated detection of positive and negative products for three times were consistent. The kit could be stored for up to one year at -20 ℃. The quality analysis was carried out on 12 commercial samples in five regions, and the pass rate was 66.67%. CONCLUSION: The velvet DNA detection kit developed by our team has strong specificity, high sensitivity, good stability and repeatability, with simple operation, small sample volume, wide application range, low cost and accurate results. It provides a scientific, accurate and reliable identification method for Chinese medicinal materials velvet products. At the same time, it also shows that the quality of commercially available velvet samples is uneven, and there are many adulterants.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the method for PCR identification of bullwhip, and to identify the authenticity of bullwhip at the molecular level. METHODS: DNA samples of bullwhip and its counterfeits (donkey whip, pig whip, sheep whip) were extracted and their integrity, purity and concentration were detected. Using GenBank related information, using mitochondrial cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene of bullwhip as target gene, Primer-BLAST online software was used to design specific primer. PCR amplification was performed for whips of different species, and electrophoretic analysis was conducted for the product. PCR products of bullwhip samples were cloned and confirmed by DNA sequencing. The specificity and repeatability of the established PCR method were verified. RESULTS: DNA purity of the bullwhip and its counterfeits was high, and there was no protein or RNA pollution. 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis showed that there were obvious target gene bands of bullwhip samples at 200-300 bp, while no corresponding bands appeared in other counterfeit products. The results of DNA sequencing showed that the nucleotide sequence of the gene fragment of bullwhip was 100% similar to that of the bullwhip in GeneBank. Results of methodological validation showed that established method was specific and reproducible. CONCLUSIONS: The established PCR identification method based on Cyt b gene in the study is simple, rapid, accurate, specific and reproducible, and can meet the requirements of analysis and identification of bullwhip and its counterfeits.
