Objective:To investigate the effects and mechanism of Shenshuaikang Enema on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) NRK-52E cells; To provide references for Shenshuaikang Enema to treat AKI.Methods:The H/R-induced NRK-52E cell model was established, and control group, model group, drug-containing serum group, drug-containing blood group +p53 agonist group, p53 agonist group, p53 inhibitor group were set up. Cell viability was detected by CCK8. The cell cycle distribution in each group was analyzed using flow cytometry, while cell senescence was assessed via β-galactosidase staining. The levels of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in the cell supernatant were evaluated using ELISA. Western Blot analyses were conducted to measure the protein expressions of p53, phosphorylated p53 (p-p53), and p21.Results:Compared with model group, NRK-52E cell vitality significantly increased in the drug-containing serum group and p53 inhibitor group ( P<0.01, P<0.05), S phase and G2/M phase percentage was significantly reduced ( P<0.01), β-galactoase staining decreased ( P<0.01), the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α decreased ( P<0.05, P<0.01), the protein expressions of p-p53 and p21 decreased ( P<0.01). Compared with the drug-containing serum group, NRK-52E cell vitality significantly decreased in the drug-containing serum+p53 agonist group and p53 agonist group ( P<0.01), S phase and G2/M phase percentage was significantly increased ( P<0.01), β-galactoase staining increased ( P<0.01), the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α increased ( P<0.01), the protein expressions of p-p53 and p21 increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion:The drug-containing serum of Shenshuaikang Enema may promote cell proliferation, improve cell cycle arrest, inhibit pro-inflammatory and senescence related secretory phenotypes, and inhibit cell senescence by inhibiting p53/p21 signaling pathway, so as to promote H/ R-induced NRK-52E cell damage repair.

Objective:To study the distribution of TCM constitutions in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:This is a multicenter cross-sectional study. The general clinical data, dialysis-related parameters and physical and chemical examination data of MHD patients from 6 dialysis centers in Sichuan were collected. At the same time, DS01-A tongue and facial pulse information collection system was used for TCM constitution discrimination.Results:A total of 232 MHD patients were enrolled , and 417 kinds of TCM constitutions were detected, including 59 patients (25.43%) with moderate constitution and 173 patients (74.57%) with biased constitution. Phlegm-dampness was the most common type of solid constitution 47 patients (20.26%). The most common deficiency constitution was qi deficiency 86 patients (37.07%). There were certain differences in the physical distribution of patients with different gender, age, dialysis age, BMI, and whether they had diabetes, hypertension or anemia.Conclusions:The TCM constitutions of MHD patients are mainly biased constitution. Gender, age, BMI, diabetes or hypertension have a certain impact on the distribution of TCM constitutions. At the same time, different constitutions may have an impact on the anemia of MHD patients. The intervention of TCM constitutions on MHD patients may be beneficial to the prognosis of MHD patients.
