ObjectiveMicrotube associated protein-2 (MAP-2), alpha-tubulin (α-tubulin), and synaptophysin (SYP) are important proteins in neuronal signal communication. This paper observed the effects of modified Zhigancao Tang on the expression of serum α-Synuclein (α-Syn) and its oligomers, MAP-2, α-tubulin, and SYP of patients with liver and kidney deficiency of Parkinson's disease (PD), analyzed their correlation, and evaluated the therapeutic effect of modified Zhigancao Tang in patients with liver and kidney deficiency of PD based on α-Syn transmission pathway mediated by neuronal communication in vivo. MethodsA total of 60 patients with PD who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group (30 cases) and a control group (30 cases). Both groups were treated on the basis of PD medicine, and the treatment group was treated with modified Zhigancao Tang. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. The changes in UPDRS score, TCM syndrome score, and expression of serum α-Syn and its oligomers, MAP-2, α-tubulin, and SYP were observed before and after 12 weeks of treatment in each group. The correlation between the above-mentioned serum biological indexes and the levels of serum α-Syn and its oligomers was analyzed. ResultsAfter treatment, the TCM syndrome score, UPDRS score, UPDRS-Ⅱ score, and UPDRS-Ⅲ score of the treatment group were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The UPDRS score, UPDRS-Ⅱ score, and UPDRS-Ⅲ scores in the treatment group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate of the control group was 63.3% (19/30), and that of the treatment group was 86.7% (26/30). The clinical effect of the observation group was better than the control group (Z=-2.03, P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.136, P<0.05). After treatment, the oligomer level of serum α-Syn and MAP-2 level in the treatment group were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The levels of serum α-Syn and its oligomers, as well as α-tubulin in the treatment group, were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group after treatment (P<0.05, P<0.01). Serum α-Syn was correlated with serum MAP-2 and α-Syn oligomer in patients with PD (P<0.05, P<0.01) but not correlated with serum SYP . Serum α-Syn oligomers of patients with PD were correlated with serum MAP-2 and α-tubulin (P<0.05, P<0.01) but not correlated with serum SYP level. Serum SYP of patients with PD was correlated with serum MAP-2 (P<0.05). ConclusionModified Zhigancao Tang has a therapeutic effect on patients with liver and kidney deficiency of PD by inhibiting the production of α-Syn oligomers and intervening α-Syn microtubule transport pathway in vivo.

Objective:To investigate the application value of manual anastomosis of gastro-duodenum in totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 55 patients with gastric cancer who underwent totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy combined with gastrointestinal anastomosis in the Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital from January 2020 to October 2022 were collected. There were 34 males and 21 females, aged 61(range, 29?75)years. Of 55 patients, 25 patients undergoing manual anastomosis of gastroduodenum were divided into the manual anastomosis group, 30 patients undergoing modified Delta anastomosis of gastroduodenum were divided into the modified Delta anastomosis group. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative complications. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using chi-square test or Fisher exact probility. Results:(1) Surgical situations. All 55 patients underwent surgery successfully, without conversion to laparotomy. The distance from the superior margin of tumor to the upper margin, anastomosis time, number of bookings used were (48±4)mm, (22.6±2.3)minutes, 3.2±0.5 in the manual anastomosis group, versus (41±4)mm, (14.0±1.4)minutes, 5.2±0.4 in the modified Delta anastomosis group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=5.04, 16.38, ?17.13, P<0.05). The location of tumor (antrum, gastric angle) was 18, 7 in the manual anastomosis group, versus 29, 1 in the modified Delta anastomosis group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). (2) Postoperative complications. There was no patient undergoing anastomotic fistula in both of manual anastomosis group and modified Delta anastomosis group, and there was 1 patient undergoing anastomotic stenosis in the modified Delta anastomosis group. Conclusion:Compared with modi-fied Delta anastomosis of gastroduodenum,totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with manual anas-tomosis of gastroduodenum can remove more gastric tissue, and decrease the number of bookings used.

BACKGROUND: The abnormal apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells is the main cause of intestinal mucous membrane injury during ischemia reperfusion. Shenfu injection has good therapeutic effect on intestinal mucous membrane injury. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of shenfu injection medication on intestinal apoptotic epithelial number, apoptosis-related caspase-3 and Bcl-2 gene expression, as well as the level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)in intestinal ischemia reperfusion rat model.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment.SETTING:Department of Anesthesia, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University.MATERIALS:This experiment was carried out in the laboratory of the Department of Anesthesia, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, between December 2002 and June 2003. Totally 24 healthy SD rats of clean grade were randomized into blank control group, intestinal ischemia reperfusion (IR) group and shenfu injection group with 8 rats in each group.METHODS: Rats in each group were anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of ethyl carbamate at dosage of 1mg/kg; then in intestinal IR group and shenfu injection group rats' superior mesenteric artery was occluded with vascular clamp for 1 hour before 2-hour reperfusion,which was not conducted in blank control group. Rats in shenfu injection group were intravenously injected with shenfu injection at 30 minutes before occlusion at dose of 0.02 mL/g, which was replaced by the same volume of physical saline in blank control group and intestinal IR group. The expression of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 protein and cell apoptosis wee detected.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of apoptotic index between groups. ② The expression of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 gene in rat intestinal epithelium. ③ Comparison of TNF content in intestinal mucous membrane homogenate between groups.RESULTS: Totally 24 rats were included in this experiment and all ehtered the result analysis. ①Comparison of apoptotic index between groups:The apoptotic index was obviously lower in shenfu injection group than in intestinal IR group, but higher than in blank control group [(7.75-±1.89)%,(28.25±8.50)%, (4.25-±2.63)%, P < 0.01]. ② The expression of caspase-3 and Bcl-2 gene in rat intestinal epithelium: caspase-3 expression was lower in shenfu injection group than in intestinal IR group, but higher than in blank control group [(0.211 6±0.087 5), (0.354 7±0.077 8), (0.194 1±0.057 4) A,P < 0.01, P > 0.05]; Bcl-2 expression was remarkably higher in intestinal IR group than in blank control group (P < 0.05), but obviously reduced in shenfu injection group compared to intestinal IR group (P < 0.01). ③ TNF content of intestinal mucous membranehomogenate in each group: TNF content was remarkably higher in intestinal IR group than in blank control group and shenfu injection group [(189.7±56.3), (38.6±10.4), (47.5±l8.7)mg/L,P < 0.01], and basically the same in shenfu inj~tion group and blank control group (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: Shenfu injection can suppress intestinal epithelial apoptosis by reducing TNF content and caspase-3 e.pression as well as upregulating the expression of Bcl-2 gene during ischemia reperfusion, thereby attenuating ischemia reperfusion injury of intestinal mucous membrane.
