Objective:To observe the protective effect of Jinbuhuan Jianwei Jiedu Decoction on gastric mucosa of rats with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG); To explore its mechanism through the farnesyl ester X receptor (FXR)/G protein bile acid coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) pathway.Methods:Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, folic acid group, low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal control group, the other rats were used to establish a CAG model by alternate gavage of 2% sodium salicylate+20 mmol/L sodium deoxycholate+methylnitrosoguanidine (MNNG) for free consumption. The folic acid group was treated with 1.43 mg/kg by gavage, while the low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups were treated with 9.68, 19.35 and 38.7 g/kg of Jinbuhuan Jianwei Jiedu Decoction by gavage, once a day, for 12 weeks. The gastric mucosal blood flow and histopathological changes in each group of rats were observed. Rat gastric juice was collected, and gastric juice pH and pepsin activity were detected. ELISA method was used to detect the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and total bile acid (TBA). Western-blot and RT-PCR were used to detect the protein and mRNA levels of FXR, TGR5, CDX2 and SOX2 in gastric mucosal tissue.Results:Compared with the normal control group, the gastric mucosal blood flow and pepsin activity in the low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups increased significantly, and the pH value of gastric juice of medium-, and high-dosage groups decreased ( P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, TBA in serum of low-, medium-, and high-dosage groups decreased ( P<0.05); and FXR, TGR5, CDX2 in gastric mucosal tissue decreased, while the protein expression of SOX2 increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Jinbuhuan Jianwei Jiedu Decoction has a repairing effect on gastric function and mucosal lesions in CAG rats. Its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of abnormal activation of FXR/TGR5 pathway, regulation of bile acid and inflammatory mediator secretion.

【Objective】 To analyze the literature on the relationship between gut microbiota and bone metabolism, identify the current research hotspots and difficulties, and provide research ideas and directions for the clinical prevention and treatment of bone metabolism related diseases. 【Methods】 Based on the Citespace literature visualization analysis software, the co-occurrence and cluster analysis of keywords and other information of the included 394 literatures were performed, and the visual map was drawn. 【Results】 Among the included literatures, the keywords such as inflammatory bowel disease, T cells, dendritic cells, short-chain fatty acids, and chronic kidney disease appeared with high frequency. The cluster of intestinal alkaline phosphatase, metabolic osteoarthritis, dendritic cells, and signaling pathway was the current research hotspot. Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in published articles in this field, with the United States as the leading origin. 【Conclusion】 The mechanism by which gut microbiota interferes with the immune system and regulates bone metabolism to maintain bone homeostasis is still the core of current research.
