This article explored the treatment of laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD) from the perspective of ascending and descending of qi. It is believed that the disorder of qi movement of the middle jiao (焦) is the key to the pathogenesis of LPRD. The ascending and descending disorder of liver and lung is an important factor in its prolongation and progression. The treatment of LPRD should follow the nature of the spleen and stomach, with the focus on fortifying and transporting the spleen and the stomach, supplemented by soothing the liver and diffusing the lung. The herbs such as Cangzhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis), Fuling (Poria), Yiyiren (Semen Coicis), Gegen (Radix Puerariae Lobatae) and Shanyao (Rhizoma Dioscoreae) could be used for fortifying and circuiting the center earth, and Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Muxiang (Radix Aucklandiae), Zhiqiao (Fructus Aurantii) and Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) for soothing the liver and nourishing the blood to harmonize the ascending and descending. Jiegeng (Radix Platycodonis) and Xuanfuhua (Japanese Inula Flower) are supplemented to diffuse and direct lung qi downward thereby mediating the center jiao. In this way, the qi movement of the spleen and stomach is restored, and the ascending and descending between the liver and lung are harmonized, and therefore the disease is cureda.

Objective:To explore the material basis and potential mechanism of Sanhuang Yishen Capsules in the treatment of diabetes through network pharmacology, molecular docking and experimental verification.Methods:The active components and targets of Sanhuang Yishhen Capsules were screened using China Natural product chemical composition database and SymMap database, and the related targets of T2DM were screened by GeneCards database. The "Chinese materia medica-active component-target" network was constructed, and the intersection genes were enriched by GO and KEGG using R language. Key active components were selected for molecular docking verification with potential core targets. 60 rats were divided into normal group, model group, and Sanhuang Yishen Capsules group according to random number table method, with 15 rats in each group. In addition to the normal group, the diabetic rat model was prepared in the other groups, and the corresponding drugs were intragastric in each group for 8 weeks. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS) and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were measured by radioimmunoassay. Western blotting was used to detect protein expressions of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), epidermal growth factor (EGF), Akt serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1), recombinant tumor protein p53 (TP53), and recombinant caspase 3 (CASP3).Results:A total of 160 active components and 298 targets of Sanhuang Yishen Capsules, 2194 targets related to T2DM, and 166 intersection targets were obtained. GO and KEGG analyzed a series of biological reaction processes mainly involved in signal transduction, oxidative stress, apoptosis, etc., and mainly involved in the regulation of P13K/Akt, P53, CASP3 and other targets. The results of molecular docking showed that the main active components obtained by screening had strong binding with the target. Compared with model group, FBG, FINS, HOMA-IR, TP53 and CASP3 in Sanhuang Yishen Capsules group decreased ( P<0.05), EGFR, EGF and Akt1 proteins increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism of Sanhuang Yishen Capsules for the treatment of may be related to the regulation of EGF/EGFR/P13K/Akt signaling pathway, TP53 signaling pathway, CASP3 signaling pathway, PPARG signaling pathway, ESR1 signaling pathway, PTGS2 signaling pathway, CAT signaling pathway and CTNNB1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To study the function and possible mechanism of Fufang-Zhongjiefeng aerosol in the treatment of chronic pharyngitis. Method:Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, low-, medium-, and high-dose Fufang-Zhongjiefeng aerosol group, and positive drug group, with 10 rats in each group. Except the normal group, the pharynx of other groups were injected with group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS) to establish chronic pharyngitis rat model. After the modeling, the low-, medium-, and high-dose Fufang-Zhongjiefeng aerosol groups were sonicated with 20 ml of 0.9% normal saline to dissolve the Fufang-Zhongjiefeng aerosol 2.33, 4.66, 9.32 g/kg, respectively. The normal group and the model group were given the same volume of normal saline, and the positive drug group was intraperitoneally injected with ampicillin sodium 0.93 g/kg once a day for 14 days. The pathological changes of pharyngeal mucosa were detected by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and nterleukin-6 (IL-6) in serum were detected by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The expression levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65 protein in pharyngeal mucosa were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression levels of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB p65 mRNA in pharyngeal mucosa were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results:Compared with the model group, the serum TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 levels of rats in the Fufang-Zhongjiefeng aerosol low-, medium-, high-dose group and the positive drug group were significantly reduced ( P<0.05). The expression of TLR-4, MyD88 and NF-κB p65 protein in the pharyngeal mucosal tissue of rats in the low-, medium-, high-dose Fufang-Zhongjiefeng aerosol group and the positive drug group were significantly reduced ( P<0.05). The expressions of TLR-4 mRNA (1.17 ± 0.41, 2.44 ± 1.06, 1.25 ± 0.34 vs. 3.87 ± 1.43), MyD88 mRNA (1.15 ± 0.53, 1.75 ± 0.36, 1.09 ± 0.14 vs. 2.44 ± 0.19), and NF-κB p65 mRNA (1.97 ± 0.51, 2.64 ± 0.26, 2.31 ± 0.44 vs. 5.08 ± 0.34) in the pharyngeal mucosa tissue of rats in the medium-, high-dose group and the positive drug group were significantly reduced ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Fufang-Zhongjiefeng aerosol can effectively treat chronic pharyngitis, which could inhibit the expression of TLR-4, MyD88, and NF-κB to reduce the expression of inflammatory factors so as to play the rold of anti-inflammatory effect.
