Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common chronic digestive system disease in clinic. The disease is repeated and difficult to treat, and the pathogenesis is complex, which is related to oxidative stress response. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an important factor in antioxidant reaction, which regulates the expression of downstream heme oxygen-1 (HO-1), and plays a role in maintaining redox homeostasis. In the course of UC, the biological activity and content of Nrf2 and HO-1 are decreased, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities of tissues are weakened, the intestinal epithelial cells are damaged, and the intestinal mucosal barrier is destroyed. At present, western medicine mainly focuses on controlling inflammation and alleviating symptoms in clinical treatment. Although it has a certain effect, there are many problems such as easy recurrence after drug withdrawal and long-term side effects. Studies have shown that Chinese medicine has rich and flexible therapeutic methods and has broad application prospects in the prevention and treatment of UC. In recent years, with Nrf2/HO-1 pathway as the entry point, a large number of basic and clinical experiments on this signal in UC have been carried out in the field of Chinese medicine, and the results show that the intervention of Nrf2/HO-1 pathway is an important potential target for the treatment of UC by Chinese medicines. Based on the etiology and pathogenesis of deficiency-excess in complexity, Chinese medicine regulates Nrf2/HO-1 pathway by clearing heat and detoxifying dampness, activating blood circulation to remove stasis and relieve pain, invigorating Qi, tonifying middle, and warming interior, and treating both symptoms and root causes, to improve the tissue's ability to resist oxidative stress, maintain the balance between pro-inflammatory factors and anti-inflammatory factors, relieve inflammatory response, and play a therapeutic role in UC. This paper summarized and analyzed the effect of Chinese medicine targeting the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway on interfering with UC and its mechanism. The purpose of this study is to provide references for researchers to have a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of Chinese medicines in the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in UC and promote the rational application of Chinese medicines in the prevention and treatment of UC in the future.

Huangqintang comes from Treatise on Cold Damage Diseases (《伤寒论》) and is regarded as the traditional prescription for treating dysentery. It is composed of four herbs: Radix Scutellariae, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Fructus Jujubae and Radix Glycyrrhizae, with the effect of clearing heat and stopping dysentery, and is a classic prescription for clinical treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Both experimental research and clinical practice show Huangqintang has the characteristics of multiple pathways and multiple targets in treating UC. At present, research on the mechanism of Huangqintang in the treatment of UC mainly focuses on reducing intestinal inflammation, repairing epithelial cell barrier, improving microflora disorder, maintaining immune balance, relieving oxidative stress, regulating mitochondrial autophagy, and inhibiting cell pyroptosis and ferroptosis. In clinical application, Huangqintang and its modified prescription combined with conventional western medicine have a clear effect on UC, which can significantly alleviate abdominal pain, diarrhea, purulent bloody stool and other symptoms, effectively control the condition and improve the quality of life of patients, with few adverse reactions and high safety. However, the experimental methods and research programs of Huangqintang in treating UC need to be further improved, and the related mechanisms need to be further studied. Through retrieval and sorting of relevant literature, this paper systematically summarized and comprehensively analyzed the mechanism and clinical research results of Huangqintang in treating UC in recent years, and proposed suggestions on the shortcomings in order to provide theoretical and data support for the further application of Huangqintang. This had practical guiding significance for interpreting the connotation of Huangqintang and clinical scientific application.

Objective To study spatial attention processing characteristics in patients with unilateral spatial neglect (USN)by comparing the patients with right USN and behavioral findings of event-related potential (ERP)in normal subjects and the amplitude and latency of P1,N1 and P300. Methods Ten consecutive patients with USN (USN group)after right-hemisphere stroke admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from April 2012 to April 2013 were enrolled retrospectively. Age-and sex-matched 10 normal subjects with the USN group were selected. ERP was used to document the electroencephalogram changes of two groups of subjects when performing visual Oddball pattern tasks. The response time and accuracy of target stimuli in both groups appearing on the left (left target)and right (right target)were analyzed and compared. The amplitude and latency of all ERP components (P1,N1,P300)on the left and right target stimuli were analyzed by repeated measurement of multivariate analysis of variance. The pathogenesis of USN after stroke was investigated. Results In the USN group,the accuracy of target stimuli on left side and right side was lower than that in the normal group (left target:17. 7 ± 7. 5% vs. 98. 5 ± 7. 5%,P<0. 01;right target:88. 5 ± 2. 0% vs. 99. 0 ± 2. 0 %,P=0. 002). There was no significant difference in P1 amplitude between the two groups (F =1. 104,P =0. 307). When the target stimulus appeared on the left side,the N1 amplitude on the right hemisphere of the USN group was lower than that of the normal group (-0. 3 ± 1. 1 μV vs. -5. 8 ± 1. 1 μV;P=0. 001), when the target stimulus appeared on the right side,the N1 amplitude of USN group was lower than that of the normal group (-1. 8 ± 1. 0 μV vs. -6. 0 ± 1. 0 μV;F=9. 799,P=0. 006). The P300 amplitude of left target of the USN group was lower than that of the normal group (1. 0 ± 1. 1 μV vs. 7. 2 ± 1. 1 μV;P=0. 001). Compared with the normal group,the latency of each wave of P1 (right hemisphere)(136. 7 ± 3. 8 ms vs. 122. 1 ± 3. 8 ms;P =0. 013),N1 (179. 7 ± 2. 0 ms vs. 172. 8 ± 2. 0 ms;F =5. 775,P =0. 027),and P300 (490 ± 12 ms vs. 402 ± 12 ms;F=27. 310,P<0. 01]in the USN group was prolonged. Conclusion During the spatial attention processing in patients with USN,regardless of the stimuli from the left and right,its information processing had been damaged to a certain degree.

Objective To explore the disease cognition and demand of health education in outpatients with foodborne diarrhea so as to provide a basis for prevention and health education of foodborne diarrhea. Methods A total of 342 patients with foodborne diarrhea were selected by convenience sampling from 1st April 2016 to 1st October 2016. They were investigated with the self-designed disease cognition scale for patients with foodborne diarrhea and the demand of health education scale. Results When foodborne diarrhea occurred, treatment behavior patients preferred was without treatment (41.81%). Before the hospital visit,most of them used antidiarrheal agent (47.37%) and antibiotics (31.87%). During diarrhea,fasting was in the majority (69.88%). The influencing factors of knowledge condition in patients with foodborne diarrhea were ages, degrees of education,frequency of diarrhea in the last six months (P< 0.01). The high demand of patients with foodborne diarrhea on knowledge was the prevention of foodborne diarrhea (89.47%),treatment methods of diarrhea (88.30%),diet management (82.75%). The low demand on knowledge was the cause (35.96%) and clinical manifestation (31.58%) of foodborne diarrhea. Conclusions The disease cognition of outpatients with foodborne diarrhea is low. They are with high demand on prevention and treatment of foodborne diarrhea. Medical staff should provide targeted health education according to ages,degrees of education,actual demand and so as to prevent foodborne diarrhea.
