Relationship Between Visceral Differentiation and Syndrome Factor Differentiation
YANG Tao, XU Zheng, WU Cheng-yu
2016, 32(5): 405-408.
Abstract:
Relationship between visceral differentiation and syndrome factor differentiation was explored and contrasted from the following five perspectives: theory knowledge, principles of syndrome differentiation, division of disease location, thinking pattern, specifications of syndrome names. It is proved that there existed similarities between them in theory knowledge and principles of syndrome differentiation and the establishment of a new unified system for syndrome differentiation was put forward, with disease location and disease character being the core of syndrome differentiation. While the differences were detected between the two in the division of disease location, thinking pattern and specifications of syndrome names, for the disease location of visceral differentiation was divided based on the five zang-organs system and the differentiation was made in accordance with disease character, with both common basic syndrome and compound syndrome being summarized. Hence, the syndrome was expounded in a more logical and systematic way. While syndrome factor differentiation was made by following the pattern of “ syndrome-syndrome factors-syndrome names” and the disease location was divided by time-space, with weighted-sum threshold logic operation and syndrome differentiation scale being applied, reaching the results of quantizing information and providing stronger operability. Visceral differentiation is the further development and innovation of syndrome factor differentiation, with a more systemic division of disease location, more logical thinking pattern and more specifications of syndrome names. Hence, combining different syndrome differentiation methods together will promote the development of modern theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation.

Exploration on Treatment of Children with Immune Thrombocytopenia from Xiaoer Weisheng Zongwei Lunfang
GUOYun-shan, YUHui-ping
2016, 32(5): 416-418.
Abstract:
As a common hemorrhagic disease in children, immune thrombocytopenia is always treated with the same method as blood trouble by modern doctors via referencing the relevant theory recorded in the ancient literatures. Taking Xiaoer Weisheng Zongwei Lunfang for instance, it has recorded pathogenesis, treatment methods and prescription of blood trouble in children, which provides clinical reference for treating children with immune thrombocytopenia. From the textbook, the pathogenesis of children blood trouble should be heat over-restraining blood and qi. The treatment should focus on clearing away heat, assisted with removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding with astringents. Herbs should be chosen based on their meridian tropisms together with bleeding locations and characteristics of diseased organs. Although partial formulations are seldomly used in the clinical practice, it still provides guidance for application of Chinese herb decoction.

Wistar rats were randomly devided into five groups, Sham group, I/R group, CIP+MCAO group, IPTF high dose group(200mg/kg) and IPTF low dose group(100mg/kg)。The behavioral injury was detected by neurologic deficit scores(NDS), and the infarct areas were detected by TTC staining. The expressions of BDNF, GDNF and VEGF in cortex and hippocampus CA1 area were measured by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS IPTF decreased the neurologic deficit scores and the infarct areas. It also increased the positive area and integral optical density of BDNF, VEGF in cortex and CA1 area of rats with CIP. CONCLUSION The mechanisms of IPTF on improving cerebral ischemic tolerance may be related with the up-regulation of the endogenous protein BDNF and VEGF.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the different effects and molecular mechanism of Alisol acetates(alisol B 23-acetate and alisol A 24-acetate)on the decrease of the hyperlipidemia of fat mice. METHODS Established a hyperlipidemic mice model,measured the level of TC, TG and HDL-C after the administration of Alisol acetates,detected the activity of LCAT, which is a key enzyme in lipid metabolism,obtained the molecular structure of LCAT by homology modeling and studied the interaction between LCAT and Alisol acetates using molecular modeling. RESULTS Alisol acetates played a hypolipidemic effect by reducing TG, TC level and increasing HDL-C level. lisol acetates decreased the LCAT activity. Alisol acetates binding regions are in the range of Leu201~Phe305. CONCLUSION Alisol acetates elevated HDL-C mechanism may not be by modulating LCAT activity. The region of Leu201~Phe305 may be the suppression positions. Ile227, Arg217, Gly229 may be the critical amino acid residues for the interaction.

2016, 32(5): 456-460.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the hypoglycemic action and β-cell protective effect of salidroside in streptozotocin(STZ) induced diabetic mice and cultured mouse islets. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were injected with a single dose of 150mg/kg freshly prepared STZ with citrate buffer as control. The salidroside intervention with a dosage of 100mg/kg/d was initiated on the 8th day after STZ injection and conducted for 30d. Fasting blood glucose levels were measured every five days. After 30d treatment, the oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) was performed, and blood samples were collected to detect plasma insulin concentrations. The isolated mouse islets were cultured with salidroside(50μmol/L) or DMSO for 3d. Ki67 staining and TUNEL assay were performed to investigate the effects of salidroside on β-cell proliferation and apoptosis. Meanwhile, the mRNA levels of insulin,Pdx-1,GLP-1R and IL-1β in islets were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS Compared with the STZ group, salidroside displayed significantly hypoglycemic effects, together with increased plasma insulin contents as well as improved OGTT. The Ki67 staining in cultured islets showed the proliferation of β-cell was remarkably increased by salidroside, while the β-cell apoptosis induced by high glucose was strongly inhibited by salidroside. Moreover, the mRNA levels of insulin, Pdx-1 and GLP-1R were up-regulated by salidroside significantly. However, the mRNA level of IL-1β which is a cytokine involved in β-cell apoptosis was down-regulated by salidroside. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates that salidroside can ameliorate the hyperglycemia in STZ diabetic mice by protecting β-cell survival with increased β-cell proliferation and decreased β-cell apoptosis.

2016, 32(5): 461-464.
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To observe the inhibitory effect of grain-moxibustion on ADR-induced cardiotoxicity, and explore the possible mechanism from the perspective of endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S). METHODS 30 SPF-grade SD rats were randomly divided into blank control group, model group and grain-moxibustion group, 10 cases in each one. Rats in the model group and the grain-moxibustion group were treated with tail vein of ADR to establish the ADR-induced cardiotoxicity models. Rats in the blank group were treated with an equal amount of saline. Rats in the grain-moxibustion group were treated with grain-moxibustion at a same time of dosing building every day at Guanyuan(CV4) and Juque(CV14), 5 cones at each acupoint, once daily for 4 weeks,2d of rest per week. At the end of the last intervention, we detected HR, LVSP), LVDP, +dp/dtmax, -dp/dtmax and t-dp/dtmax. Serum were collected to test the activities of LDH and CK and the content of cTnI, and myocardium tissue were collected to measure the content of H2S, to make a comprehensive assessment of the cardiac function in rats. Myocardial tissue biopsies were prepared to observe the morphological changes of myocardial pathology organization. RESULTS Compared with the blank group and grain-moxibustion group, the HR, LVSP, +dp/dtmax and -dp/dtmax of the model group were reduced, while LVDP and t-dp/dtmax were increased(P<0.05). Compared with the blank group, the activity of LDH, CK and the content of cTnI of the model group and the grain-moxibustion group were increased(P<0.05), the content of H2S in myocardium was reduced (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the activity of LDH, CK and the content of cTnI of the grain-moxibustion group were reduced(P<0.05), the content of H2S in myocardium was increased (P<0.05). In the blank group, structure of myocardial cells is complete, intercellular space was normal without myocardial cells damage. While swelling, hyperemia and disordered arrangement of myocardial cells were observed by optical microscopy in the model group. But the situation of swelling and hyperemia in the grain-moxibustion group were milder than that in the model group. CONCLUSION Grain-moxibustion can improve the abnormal cardiac function and alleviate myocardial cells swelling and hyperemia which caused by ADR. The mechanism may be related with the regulation of the generation of endogenous H2S.
