Objective:To explore the application value of integrated Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) induced by bacterial pneumonia sepsis.Methods:A total of 60 inpatients with bacterial pneumonia and sepsis admitted to the Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from October 2023 to June 2024 were collected in a cross-sectional study. Serum samples were collected, and immune indexes, coagulation function and some laboratory test results of the patients were detected or recorded. Sepsis Associated Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score were evaluated.Results:Among the 60 patients, 71.7%( n=43) were associated with coagulation disorder, 65%( n=39) showed hemorrhagic SIC; A total of 37 patients (61.7%) were treated with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, and 23 patients (38.3%) were treated with Western medicine. The main types of syndrome differentiation were toxic-heat syndrome ( n=48, 80.0%) and blood-stasis syndrome ( n=11, 18.3%). Serum human monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and platelet count (PLT) in patients with blood stasis syndrome were significantly lower than those in toxic-heat syndrome (all P<0.05). In patients with bacterial pneumonia sepsis, the total score of syndrome of excess of fu-viscera (Fu-shi-zheng) was positively correlated with programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) ( r=0.293, P=0.023) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) ( r=0.436, P=0.001). The total score of toxin-heat syndrome ( r=0.323, P=0.016) and excess of fu-viscera syndrome ( r=0.354, P=0.008) were positively correlated with prothrombin time (PT). PD-1 was positively correlated with SOFA score ( r=0.343, P=0.007) and APACHE Ⅱ score ( r=0.354, P=0.006). The PD-1 level and SOFA and APACHE Ⅱ scores of the patients treated with integrated Chinese and western medicine were significantly lower than those treated with Western medicine alone (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The combined intervention of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine based on " Fuzheng Touxie Jiedu (The method of strengthening the body and removing the toxin)" has strong clinical guiding significance, and can effectively improve the immune function and prognosis of bacterial pneumonia SIC.

Aim To explore the mechanism by which the compound Chaijin Jieyu formula(CCJJY)regulates the TLR4/NLRP3 signaling pathway to inhibit central oxidative stress and improve hippocampal synaptic plasticity damage in depression.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into the control group,chronic unpredictable mild stress group,sleep deprivation group,chronic unpredictable mild stress combined with sleep deprivation group,positive drug group(venlafax-ine+melatonin),low-dose group of CCJJY,medium dose group of CCJJY,and high-dose group of CCJJY,with nine rats in each group.Except for the control group,a rat model of depression complicated with in-somnia was established using chronic unpredictable mild stress combined with sleep deprivation.Depres-sion-like and sleep behaviors in rats were evaluated through weight,food intake,water maze,and pento-barbital sodium tests.ELisa was used to detect ROS,AANAT,and HPLC-EC was used to detect 5-HT con-tent,while Western blot/RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of IL-1β,TLR4,NLRP3,PSD-95,and SYN related proteins and mRNA.HE and Golgic stai-ning were used to observe the pathological changes in the third ventricle,hippocampus,and neuronal synap-ses.Results Compared with the control group,the depression-like behaviors of the model group rats were significant.The expression of IL-1β,TLR4,and NL-RP3 in the hippocampus increased,while the expres-sion of PSD-95 and SYN decreased.Activation of NL-RP3 inflammasomes led to "sleeve like" pathological changes in the third ventricle,with hippocampal neu-rons undergoing apoptosis and significant damage to neuronal synaptic plasticity.Compared with the model group,after intervention with CCJJY,the expression of ROS,IL-1β,TLR4,and NLRP3 decreased,while the expression of AANAT,5-HT,PSD-95,and SYN in-creased.Pathological damage to the third ventricle and hippocampal neurons was repaired.Conclusion The CCJJY improves hippocampal synaptic plasticity dam-age in depression by regulating the TLR4/NLRP3 sig-naling pathway to inhibit central oxidative stress.
