摘要:ObjectiveTo analyze the therapeutic effect of Sangbaipi Decoction on bronchiectasis with phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome.MethodsA total of 62 patients with bronchiectasis with phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome, who visited Longhua Hospital Affiliated to the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to December 2022, were randomly divided into a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group(n=31) and a control group(n=31). The control group received routine western medicine treatment alone, and the TCM,group received western medicine combined with Sangbaipi Decoction Granules for one month. The proportion of acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis within 3 months after treatment, the pulmonary function indicators before and after treatment, and the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and the adverse events and laboratory indicators were recorded simultaneously.ResultsWithin 3 months after treatment, there were 4 cases of acute exacerbation in TCM group and 5 cases in control group, with no statistical significance(P>0.05). At the end of 3 months after treatment, the SGRQ scores (symptoms, activity, psychological score and total score) in both groups were lower than those before treatment(P<0.05), and the SGRQ scores in TCM group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).At the end of 3 months after treatment, the pulmonary function parameters (FEV1,FVC,FEV1/FVC) of the two groups were all improved compared with those before treatment, but there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P> 0.05). Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in the improvement of pulmonary function indexes in the Chinese medicine group(P>0.05). The incidence of adverse events in TCM group was 32.3%(10/31), including 4 cases of diarrhea, 3 cases of abdominal distension and 3 cases of nausea. The incidence of adverse events in the control group was 35.5%(11/31), including 5 cases of diarrhea, 2 cases of abdominal distension and 4 cases of nausea. There was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2=0.072,P>0.05).ConclusionConventional western medicine treatment combined with Sangbaipi Decoction can significantly improve the clinical symptoms, activity/endurance, and psychological state inpatients with bronchiectasis of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndromewith good safety.

摘要:ObjectiveTo study the drug-resistance sensitization effect of Tanreqing injection (TRQ) combined with ceftazidime (CAZ) on pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) in vitro.MethodsSensitive strain (ATCC 27853) and multi-drug resistant strains (1508032,1608016,1708116,D1,D2,D5) of PA were selected as experimental strains,and 9 antibiotics recommended by the guidelines for the treatment of PA were selected for study.First, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and fractional inhibitory concentration Index (FICI) were used to select the best antibiotics for combination with TRQ. Then, through growth curve, time-kill curve and genetic stability tests, the sensitization of the best combination to PA resistance was analyzed.ResultsThe combination of TRQ and CAZ was the optimum compatibility for drug-resistance sensitization, which had synergistic and additive effects against sensitive bacteria (ATCC 27853) and multi-resistant strains (1508032, 1608016, 1708116, D1, D2, D5). The growth curve showed that TRQ combined with CAZ had significant inhibitory effect on the growth of PA. The time-kill curve showed that TRQ combined with CAZ significantly enhanced the killing activity of CAZ against PA. Drug-resistance induction experiments suggested that there were two possible ways of sensitization of TRQ combined with CAZ. Firstly, it could maintain the sensitivity of sensitive strain ATCC 27853 to CAZ and inhibit the development of drug resistance. Secondly, it could restore the sensitivity of clinical drug-resistant strain MDR-PA 1508032 to CAZ and inhibit the development of drug resistance. The genetic stability test indicated that there was no significant difference in drug-resistance sensitization after intervention of combination of TRQ and CAZ during the five generations of empty culture, and the drug-resistance sensitization of TRQ combined with CAZ to PA was stable.ConclusionThe combination of TRQ and CAZ could enhance the killing effect of CAZ on PA, restore the sensitivity of PA to CAZ, and inhibit the drug-resistance development with certain genetic stability.
摘要:ObjectiveTo explore the protective effect of TiaoganQuzhi Formula(regulatingliver andreducing fat) on nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) by microRNA-34a (miR-34a) /silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-1(SIRT1)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARα) signaling pathway.MethodsForty SD rats were selected and randomly divided into a control group, a model group, a low-dose TiaoganQuzhi group, and a high-dose TiaoganQuzhi group, with ten rats in each group. The control group was fed with normal feed, while other groups were fed with high-fat feed to establish a nonalcoholic fatty liver model. The low and high dose TiaoganQuzhi groups were given 9.045 g/kg and 36.18 g/kg drugs respectively after modeling, with the volume of 1 mL/100 g, and the normal group and model group were given same volume of distilled water. Rats were gavaged once a day for 8 weeks. The pathological changes of liver hematoxylin-eosin(HE), blood lipids and liver function indicators in each group were compared, and miR-34a, SIRT1 and PPARα gene expression in liver tissueweredetected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method.ResultsAfter modeling, the control group showed good mental health, sensitive response and generally good condition. Other groups showed symptoms such as mental exhaustion and decreased activity. After intervention, the general state of treatment group rats were improved. Liver of the control group was shiny and ruddy, without obvious congestion or edema by visual observation. HE showed regular arrangement of liver cells, and liver cord was clear. The model group showed liver tissue pale with congestion and edema in visible, and liver HE showed disordered arrangement of liver cells with fatty vacuolar degeneration. The treatment group showed improvement in liver observation. Compared with the control group, the model group had higher levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P<0.01), while lower levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C in each TiaoganQuzhi dose group of were low, and the levels of HDL-C were high. The above indicators in TiaoganQuzhi high-dose group of were statistically significant compared with the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the levels of alanine transaminase (ALT)and aspartate transaminase (AST) in model group were higher (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the levels of ALT and AST in each TiaoganQuzhi dose group were lower, and the above indicators in the TiaoganQuzhi high-dose group had statistical significance compared with the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the model group showed higher expression of miR-34a (P<0.05) and lower expression of SIRT1 and PPARα genes (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of miR-34a was lower in each TiaoganQuzhi dose group, while the expression of SIRT1 and PPARα genes was higher. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference in the above indicators between the TiaoganQuzhi high-dose group and the model group (P<0.05).ConclusionTiaoganQuzhi Formula can reduce miR-34a expression, increase SIRT1/PPARα expression, regulate blood lipids and liver function, and improve liver cell degeneration in NAFLD rats.
