1.Exploring the pathogenesis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease with emotional disorders based on the trinity life view of body, qi, and spirit
Journal of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2025;48(2):235-239
Body, qi, and spirit are the essential elements that constitute life. Based on the holistic view of life that integrates body, qi, and spirit, we aim to understand the pathogenesis of gastroesophageal reflux disease with emotional disorders. Our team believes that the fundamental characteristic of this disease is the coexistence of body, qi, and spirit disorders, manifested as physical tissue damage accompanied by functional decline, and the emergence of emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. Among these, the body disorder is the intuitive sign, the qi disorder serves as the basis for the onset of the disease, and the spirit disorder represents the pathological essence of the comorbid emotional disorders. The treatment of this disease employs a holistic approach that addresses body, qi, and spirit simultaneously. Among these, adjusting the body is the first priority, with controlling acidity and protecting the mucous membrane as the crucial step. This helps control acid reflux and facilitates the repair of esophageal mucosal damage. Regulating qi is essential, with harmonizing the ascending and descending movements of qi at its core. This involves adjusting the qi movement of the internal organs and promoting the metabolism and transformation of essential substances. Nurturing the spirit is fundamental, with alleviating depression and nourishing the spirit as the focus. This improves emotional well-being and ensures that the spirit is nourished. Understanding the pathogenesis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease with emotional disorders from the perspectives of body, qi, and spirit can provide new insights and strategies for clinical treatment of this disease.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between fat distribution and the composite indices of femoral neck strength in obese postmenopausal women.Methods:A total of 293 postmenopausal women with non-low body weight were selected, laboratory tests, body composition analyzer test and double-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan were performed. Based on the body mass index(BMI), they were divided into three groups, the normal BMI group(18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI<24.0 kg/m 2, n=91), the overweight group(24.0 kg/m 2≤BMI<28.0 kg/m 2, n=115), and the obese group(BMI≥28.0 kg/m 2, n=87). The measurement results were analyzed. Results:In the obese group, bone mineral density(BMD) of all sites was higher than that in the normal BMI group and overweight group( P<0.005), compression strength index(CSI), bending strength index(BSI), and impact strength index(ISI) were significantly lower than those in the normal BMI group( P<0.001, P=0.008, P=0.001). In the obese group, waist circumference, waist-hip ratio, total fat mass, appendicular fat mass, and trunk fat mass were risk factors for CSI, BSI and ISI independent of age, fasting blood glucose, and BMI( P<0.05). Visceral fat grade and Chinese visceral adiposity fat index were the risk factors for CSI, BSI, and ISI( P<0.05). Conclusion:The composite indices of femoral neck strength decreased in obese postmenopausal women, and both subcutaneous fat and visceral fat were negatively associated with the composite indices of femoral neck strength.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of modified Zuojinwan granules in treating reflux esophagitis (RE) and functional dyspepsia (FD) with the same syndrome with disharmony between liver and stomach). MethodA randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to enroll 144 patients with disharmony between liver and stomach, including 72 patients with RE and 72 patients with FD. These patients were then randomly divided into observation and control groups, with 36 patients in each group. The observation group was given modified Zuojinwan granules orally, and the control group was given placebo granules orally. They both were treated with two packs each time, twice a day, for four weeks. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, cerebrointestinal peptides [calcitonin gene-associated titanium (CGRP), vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), and substance P (SP)], inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6)], common gastrointestinal related hormones [gastrin (GAS) and motilin (MTL)], and other indicators in the two groups were compared before and after treatment, and the curative effect of TCM syndromes and the occurrence of adverse reactions were determined. At the same time, the changes in the above indicators and the curative effect of TCM syndromes in the two groups of patients with the same disease were analyzed. ResultAfter treatment, CGRP, VIP, 5-HT, SP, TNF-α, IL-6, GAS, MTL, and TCM syndrome scores in the observation group and control group were significantly improved (P<0.05). After treatment, the improvement of CGRP, VIP, 5-HT, SP, TNF-α, IL-6, GAS, MTL, and TCM syndrome scores in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, CGRP, VIP, 5-HT, SP, TNF-α, IL-6, GAS, MTL, and TCM syndrome scores in both groups of RE patients and FD patients were significantly improved (P<0.05). After treatment, the improvement of CGRP, VIP, 5-HT, SP, TNF-α, IL-6, GAS, MTL, and TCM syndrome scores in RE patients and FD patients in the observation group were better than that in the control group (P<0.05). In the observation group and the control group, the incidence of nausea, vomiting, fatigue, dry mouth, and other adverse reactions was lower, and there was no statistical significance. ConclusionModified Zuojinwan granules can effectively improve the TCM syndromes of disharmony between liver and stomach of RE and FD, brain and intestinal peptide, gastrointestinal hormone, and inflammatory factors and provide evidence for the clinical application of TCM theory of "treating different diseases with the same method".

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Changweiqing (肠胃清) in the treatment of colorectal cancer. MethodsHCT 116 cancer cells were used to prepare intestinal cancer cells with silenced polypyrimidine region binding protein 3 (PTBP3) gene and stably transfected cells with overexpressed PTBP3 gene. Stably transfected cells with silenced PTBP3, stably transfected cells with overexpressed PTBP3 and untransfected cancer cells were injected into the armpit of 72 nude mice to construct three different subcutaneous transplanted tumor models of colorectal cancer cells, including the silenced model, the overexpressed model and the control model, with 24 mice per model. Mice of each transplanted tumor modelwere randomly divided into Changweiqing (CWQ) group, oxaliplatin (OXA) group and normal saline (NS) group, with 8 mice in each group. The CWQ groups were given intragastric administration of 35.9625 g/kg of Changweiqing oral liquid and were intraperitoneally injected with 0.2ml of normal saline; the NS groups were given 0.5ml of normal saline by gavage, and intraperitoneal injection of 0.2ml of normal saline; the OXA groups were intraperitoneally injected with 5 mg/kg (0.2 ml) of oxaliplatin and given 0.5ml of normal saline by gavage. Each group was given intragastric administration once a day and intraperitoneal injection three times a week. After 31 days, the weight of subcutaneous tumors in each group was measured, and the tumor inhibition rate of the groups in each model were measured. Immunohistochemistry and other methods were used to detect the expression level of cell proliferation cell nuclear antigen Ki67 and apoptosis index. Real-time PCR and Western Blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expressions of PTBP3, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) splicing isoform α (STAT3α), STAT3 splicing isoform β (STAT3β), B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) splicing isoform α (Bcl-2α), and Bcl-2 splicing isoform β (Bcl-2β) in subcutaneous tumor cells in each group. ResultsFor all three transplanted tumor models, the weight of the subcutaneous tumors and Ki67 expression level of subcutaneous tumor tissue in all CWQ groups and OXA groups were lower than those of the corresponding NS groups, while the apoptosis level were higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expressions of PTBP3, STAT3α, and Bcl-2α in the subcutaneous tumor tissues of the silenced model CWQ group and the overexpressed model CWQ group were lower than those of the corresponding NS groups, while the mRNA and protein expression levels of STAT3β and Bcl-2β were higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01). All there groups of silenced model had lower subcutaneous tumor weight, Ki67 expression level, and mRNA and protein expression levels of PTBP3, STAT3α, and Bcl-2α in subcutaneous tumor tissue, as well as higher apoptosis level and mRNA and protein expression levels of STAT3β and Bcl-2β than those in all groups of control model; all groups of overexpressed model had higher subcutaneous tumor weight, Ki67 expression level, and mRNA and protein expression levels of PTBP3, STAT3α, and Bcl-2α , while lower apoptosis level and mRNA and protein expression levels of STAT3β and Bcl-2β than those in all control model groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the control model, compared with the NS group, The tumor inhibition rate of all OXA groups was higher than that of corresponding CWQ groups, respectively. Compared to that of each control model group, the tumor inhibition rate was positive value of each silenced model group, and negative value of each overexpressed model group. ConclusionPTBP3 can promote the proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of intestinal cancer cells, upregulate the expression of STAT3α and Bcl-2α, and downregulate the expression of STAT3β and Bcl-2β in intestinal cancer cells. The meachnism of action of Changweiqing in the treatment of colorectal cancer maybe related to the inhibition of PTBP3, and regulation of the expression of STAT3α, STAT3β, Bcl-2α, and Bcl-2β.

Cronkhite-Canada syndrome is a disease characterized by multiple polyps and changes in the ectoderm of the digestive tract, but its etiology and pathogenesis have not been completely elucidated. Endogenous toxins are a special class of intrinsic pathogenic factors, which are released upon visceral dysfunction and abnormal movement of qi and blood. Endogenous toxins can hide deeply in the body, they can enter the meridians and collaterals, and they can be mixed with phlegm and blood stasis. Endogenous toxins can damage the skin externally, corrode the internal organs, attack hands and feet, and damage the vital qi. The pathogenesis of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome can be understood from the perspective of " endogenous toxins cause the disease". Dampness-heat due to spleen deficiency and dampness toxin accumulation are the fundamental causes of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. The mutual fusion of phlegm toxin and blood stasis toxin is the pathological essence of the diffuse growth of gastrointestinal polyps in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome. The internal toxin transformation process of "dampness toxin-phlegm stasis toxin-cancer toxin" may be a potential mechanism for the occurrence of cancer. The treatment of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome should be based on the principle of strengthening the spleen, removing dampness, and detoxification. Among them, strengthening the spleen is the foundation, removing dampness is the key, and detoxification is the core. The treatment of Cronkhite-Canada syndrome can be achieved through methods such as strengthening the spleen and infiltrating dampness, promoting diuresis and detoxification, resolving phlegm, and removing blood stasis. At the same time, correcting the patient's biased constitution should be used as an auxiliary treatment method, and treatment based on a combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine should be emphasized.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of emodin on liver injury in a mouse model of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and the role of heme oxygenase-1-mediated autophagy.Methods:Twenty-four SPF-grade healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), I/R group, emodin group (E group) and emodin plus HO-1 inhibitor Zinc Protoporphyrin Ⅸ (ZnPP) group (ES group). The intestinal I/R injury model was established by clamping the superior mesenteric artery for 45 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Emodin 40 mg/kg dissolved in 5% methylcellulose sodium was given by gastric gavage once a day for 5 days before ischemia in E group. Emodin 40 mg/kg dissolved in 5% methylcellulose sodium was given by gastric gavage once a day for 5 days before intestinal I/R, and ZnPP 7.5 mg/kg was injected via the tail vein at 12 h before ischemia in ES group. Orbital venous blood samples were collected at the end of reperfusion for determination of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) concentrations. Then the mice were sacrificed, and liver tissues were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes (after HE staining) and for determination of the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), content of malondialdehyde (MDA), expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) mRNA (by fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction), the expression of HO-1, autophagy-related protein Beclin1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) (by Western blot). The LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio was calculated. Results:Compared with Sham group, the activity of SOD was significantly decreased, the content of MDA and serum ALT and AST concentrations were increased, the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA and HO-1 was up-regulated, the expression of Beclin1 was down-regulated, the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio was decreased ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of liver tissues were found in I/R group. Compared with I/R group, the activity of SOD was significantly increased, the content of MDA and serum ALT and AST concentrations were decreased, the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA was down-regulated, the expression of HO-1 and Beclin1 was up-regulated, the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio was increased ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of liver tissues were significantly attenuated in E group ( P<0.05). Compared with E group, the activity of SOD was significantly decreased, the content of MDA and serum ALT and AST concentrations were increased, the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA was up-regulated, the expression of HO-1 and Beclin1 was down-regulated, the LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ ratio was decreased ( P<0.05), and the pathological changes of liver tissues were aggravated in ES group. Conclusions:Emodin can alleviate liver injury induced by intestinal I/R in mice, and the mechanism may be related to the activation of HO-1-mediated autophagy.
