ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Yangxin Tongmai Formula (养心通脉方) by midnight-noon ebb-flow administration method for rat models of premature coronary heart disease (PCHD) with blood stasis syndrome, and to explore the possible mechanism of action from the perspective of DNA methylation differential gene expression. MethodsThere were 3 SD rats in each of the blank group, model group and Yangxin Tongmai Formula group, and the rats in the model group and Yangxin Tongmai Formula group were fed with high-fat chow plus vitamin D3 by gavage plus isoproterenol hydrochloride by subcutaneous injection to construct rat models of PCHD with blood stasis syndrome. After successful modelling, rats in Yangxin Tongmai Formula group were gavaged with 18 g/(kg‧d) of Yangxin Tongmai Formula, and rats in blank group and the model group were gavaged with 4 ml/(kg‧d) of 0.9% NaCl solution, and serum samples of rats in each group were collected for DNA methylation sequencing after 3 weeks to screen for the relevant DNA methylation differentiation genes. In addition, rats with successful modelling of PCHD with blood stasis were randomly divided into model group, Yangxin Tongmai Formula with midnight-noon ebb-flow administration method group [18 g/(kg‧d) of Yangxin Tongmai Formula was gavaged twice in the heart channel period (12:00) and pericardium channel period (20:00)], the Yangxin Tongmai Formula control group [18 g/(kg‧d) of Yangxin Tongmai Formula was gavaged twice at 8:00 and 18:00] and the Atorvastatin Calcium group [atorvastatin calcium tablets solution 1.8 mg/(kg‧d) at the same intervention time as that in Yangxin Tongmai Formula control group], and set up a blank group of 8 rats in each group. The model group and blank group were gavaged with 0.9% NaCl solution 4 ml/(kg‧d) for the same time as the Yangxin Tongmai Formula control group. After 3 weeks of gavage, the blood lipids [including total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL)] levels of rats in each group were detected; the HE staining of myocardial tissues and thoracic aorta was used to observe the pathomorphological changes; the levels of serum inflammation indexes [tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and interleukin 10 (IL-10)] were detected; immunoprecipitation-realtime fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression of cardiac tissue screening differential genes. ResultsThe genes screened for differentially methylated regions were calmodulin 2 (Calm2), calcium voltage-gated channel subunit α1s (Cacna1s), and phospholipase Cβ1 (Plcb1). Compared with the blank group, rats in the model group showed elevated levels of TC, LDL, TNF-α and LPS, and decreased levels of HDL and IL-10 (P<0.05 or P<0.01); HE staining showed obvious swelling of myocardial fibres, accompanied by a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration, and thickening of the inner wall of the aortic vessels with internal wall damage, which was visible as a large number of lipid cholesterol crystals and obvious inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the model group, the TC, LDL, TNF-α and LPS contents of rats in the Yangxin Tongmai Formula with midnight-noon ebb-flow administration method group, the Yangxin Tongmai Formula control group, and the atorvastatin calcium group all reduced, and the contents of HDL and IL-10 all elevated (P<0.05), with the improvement of myocardial tissue damage and the reduction of inflammatory infiltration, and the improvement of the damage of the inner lining of the thoracic aorta and the reduction of lipid infiltration. Compared with Yangxin Tongmai Formula control group, LDL, TNF-α and LPS contents reduced, and IL-10 contents increased in the midnight-noon ebb-flow administration method group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the relative expression of Calm2 and Plcb1 genes decreased and the relative expression of Cacna1s gene increased in Yangxin Tongmai Formula control group and the midnight-noon ebb-flow administration method group (P<0.05); compared with the Yangxin Tongmai Formula control group, the relative expression of Calm2 gene decreased and the relative expression of Cacna1s gene increased in the midnight-noon ebb-flow administration method group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe intervention of Yangxin Tongmai Formula in the heart channel period (12:00) and pericardium channel period (20:00) was more effective in improving the blood lipid level, inhibiting inflammation, and improving myocardial tissue damage in rats of PCHD with blood stasis syndrome, and Calm2 and Cacna1s genes may be the key targets of Yangxin Tongmai Formula in intervening the blood stasis syndrome of PCHD.

This paper summarized Professor BU He's clinical experience in the integrative internal and external treatment of pediatric functional constipation. He believes that dysfunction of the spleen in transportation leads to impaired function of the sanjiao (三焦) and intestinal obstruction, which constitutes the core pathogenesis of pediatric functional constipation. The treatment emphasizes regulating the spleen and harmonizing the pivot, as well as unblocking the bowel and eliminating stagnation. An integrated approach combining internal and external therapies is advocated. Internally, Chinese herbal medicine, primarily Modified Sijunzi Decoction and Shaoyao Gancao Decoction (四君子汤合芍药甘草汤加减) is used to regulate the internal organs. Externally, pediatric tuina and moxibustion on qi interlocking are employed. Together, these methods fortify the spleen and facilitate transportation, restoring the smooth function of the sanjiao pivot, and ensuring intestinal patency, thereby relieving constipation.

BACKGROUND:At present,the treatment of infected bone defects has the problems of long course of disease,poor treatment effect and high cost.The osteogenic effect of personalized bone replacement materials in clinical treatment is limited.Therefore,a 3D-printed bone graft material with both good osteogenic effect and antibacterial effect is urgently needed for clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research status of 3D-printed scaffolds loaded with antimicrobial agents for the treatment of infected bone defects. METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,Elsevier,and CNKI databases from January 2010 to June 2022 were searched for related articles.The Chinese search terms were"bone defect,3D printing,scaffold material,antibacterial,animal experiments,in vitro experiments".English search terms were"bone defect,3D printing,scaffold,antibiosis,animal experiment,in vitro".Finally,60 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The 3D scaffolds made of titanium,magnesium,tantalum and other metals and their alloys have certain osteogenic properties,but do not have antibacterial function.Hydroxyapatite and other bioceramic materials have good biocompatibility and are prone to be degraded,whereas due to the lack of strength,they are usually combined with artificial polymer materials to form composite materials,which respectively mimic the inorganic and organic components in natural bone,and play their respective excellent functions.Antibiotics,silver/copper nanoparticles,antimicrobial peptides,gallium and other antibacterial agents play an antibacterial role by destroying bacterial cell membrane,producing reactive oxygen species to interfere with bacterial DNA replication,inhibiting iron absorption and other mechanisms.As a result,the 3D-printed scaffold has both antibacterial and osteogenic effects.However,there are still some problems such as drug resistance and difficult to control effective concentrations.3D-printed scaffolds are often loaded with antibacterial agents by loading drug-loaded microspheres on scaffolds,preparing antibacterial coating on the scaffold surface,and participating in joint 3D printing with drugs.The loading mode of antibacterial coating prepared on the scaffold surface is the most widely used,and its antibacterial effect is more stable.Nonetheless,the selection of the most suitable loading mode for antibacterial agents needs to be further discussed and summarized.It is a future research prospect to optimize the mechanical properties of composite scaffolds and prepare biomimetic bone scaffolds so that the degradation rate is consistent with the bone reconstruction rate in infected bone defects.The ideal antibacterial agents may play a role through a variety of antibacterial mechanisms,thus being expected to play a good antibacterial effect through low antibacterial concentration,which should be a hot spot of anti-bone infection research.After loading antibacterial agents on the surface of the scaffold,antibacterial agents can"intelligently"react to the local microenvironment,achieving controlled release,and regulating the osteogenesis,vascularization and immune response of the microenvironment,which is the focus of current research.

Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2024;65(4):419-423
Traditional Chinese medicine holds that chemotherapy drugs belong to “medicinal toxins”, which are fierce in nature, and while killing tumor cells, they also damage human vitality, firstly disturbing spleen and stomach functions. Based on LI Gao's theory that “fire and original qi are restricted to each other, and one wins while the other loses”, it is believed that the balance between fire and original qi is the guarantee to maintain the material and energy metabolism of the body. As the driving force of human life activities, original qi is the “yang qi” that dominates the qi of the whole body. When the function of spleen and stomach is impaired, and the replenishment of acquired source is insufficient, there will be deficiency of yang qi and hyperactivity of yin fire, manifested as various adverse reactions of the body after chemotherapy. Following the treatment principle of tonifying the spleen and stomach and lifting yang qi, it is recommended to use sweet and warm medicinals to remove heat, and take formulas such as Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤) and Danggui Buxue Decoction (当归补血汤) to treat various post-chemotherapy adverse reactions mainly manifested as fire pathogen damaging fluid and consuming qi, yin deficiency and fire exuberance, alleviate related symptoms, which can not only ensure adequate chemotherapy cycle, but also improve the anti-tumor effect, and improve the quality of life of patients.
