ABSTRACT
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, non-specific inflammatory bowel disease. The pathogenesis of this disease is complex and is attributed to multiple factors. Intestinal mucosal barrier damage is the basic pathological change of UC, and intestinal flora disorder is one of the important characteristics of UC. Intestinal flora plays a key role in the pathological process of UC by regulating intestinal mucosal immunity and inflammatory response to repair the damaged intestinal mucosal barrier. At present, western medicine has the advantages of rapid action onset and significant short-term efficacy, but the curative effect of long-term use is not good, accompanied by many adverse reactions, causing great physical and mental pain to patients. Therefore, it is urgent to explore new treatment methods with definite long-term efficacy and mild adverse reactions. A large number of studies have shown that Chinese medicine can regulate intestinal flora through multiple targets in an all-around way, restore the homeostasis of the flora, and repair the damaged intestinal mucosal barrier, thereby inhibiting the progression of UC. Numerous studies have shown that the active components, monomers, and compounds of Chinese medicine can effectively antagonize UC by regulating the intestinal flora to improve the intestinal mucosal immunity, reduce the inflammatory response of the intestinal mucosa, and restore the normal physiological function of the intestinal mucosal barrier, providing a new strategy for UC prevention and treatment. Although there are some studies of the regulation of intestinal flora by Chinese medicine to prevent and treat UC, those studies have the shortcomings of systematic and comprehensive inadequacy. Therefore, based on the research status of UC, intestinal flora, and Chinese medicine treatment, this study reviewed the relationship between intestinal flora and UC and clarified the key role of intestinal flora in the occurrence and development of UC. At the same time, this paper comprehensively summarized the Chinese medicine that targeted the regulation of intestinal flora for the treatment of UC in the past five years to provide new strategies and ideas for UC treatment.
ABSTRACT
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with complex etiology. The pathogenesis of this disease, due to a combination of factors, is complex and has not yet been elucidated. Among them, intestinal mucosal barrier damage is the basic pathological change of UC. As a non-destructive response of cells, autophagy regulates intestinal mucosal immunity, inflammation, oxidative stress, and bacterial homeostasis through degradation and reabsorption to actively repair damaged intestinal mucosal barrier, exerting a key role in the occurrence and development of UC. The disease is mainly treated clinically with aminosalicylic acid preparations, glucocorticoids, and immunosuppressants. Western medicine treatment of the disease has a fast onset of effect, and the short-term efficacy is definite, but the long-term application is easy to be accompanied by more adverse reactions. Moreover, some drugs are expensive, bringing great physical and mental pain and economic burden to patients. Therefore, it is urgent to explore new therapies with stable efficacy and mild adverse effects. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that Chinese medicine can regulate autophagy of the intestinal mucosa with multiple targets and effects and repair the intestinal mucosal barrier function, thereby inhibiting the development of UC. Many experiments have shown that the active ingredient or monomers and compound formulas of Chinese medicine can improve the immunity of the intestinal mucosa, inflammation, oxidative stress, and flora by regulating the level of autophagy to maintain the normal function of the intestinal mucosal barrier to effectively intervene in UC, providing a new measure for the prevention and treatment of UC. However, there is a lack of systematic review of Chinese medicine in regulating the level of autophagy in the intestinal mucosa for the prevention and treatment of UC. Therefore, based on the current research on UC, autophagy process, and Chinese medicine treatment, this article reviewed the relationship of autophagy and its key target proteins with UC to clarify the key role of autophagy in UC production and systematically summarized Chinese medicines targeting the regulation of autophagy to treat UC in recent years to provide new ideas for the treatment and drug development of UC.
ABSTRACT
Ulcerative colitis (UC), a disease that affects the colon or rectum, is characterized by long-term recurrent inflammation and eventually leads to ulcers in the inner wall of the intestine. The disease has a high incidence and is difficult to be cured, which causes severe physical and mental discomfort and economic burden to the patients. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new therapies with high cure rate and low side effect. The pathological mechanism of UC is complex and involves multiple factors. The intestinal mucosal barrier damage is the main pathological basis of UC, which is a hot topic and a new research direction. Intestinal tight junction (TJ), as the structural basis of the intestinal mucosal mechanical barrier, can actively regulate mucosal function and play a key role in the pathogenesis of UC. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can regulate TJ protein via multiple pathways and multiple targets, repair the intestinal mucosal barrier, and thus block the progression of UC. Studies have demonstrated that Chinese herbal medicines and their components, Chinese medicine compound prescriptions, and Chinese medicine preparations can treat UC by regulating TJ protein to maintain the function and reduce the permeability of intestinal epithelium, providing a new therapeutic strategy for UC. Although TCM has unique advantages that western medicine cannot replace by mediating TJ protein expression in UC, a comprehensive review of this field remains to be carried out. Focusing on the status of UC and TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, we retrieved relevant articles with ''ulcerative colitis'', ''tight junction'', and ''Chinese medicine'' as the keywords, and summarized the relationship of TJ and its key target proteins with UC to clarify the critical role of TJ in UC pathophysiology. Furthermore, we summarized the Chinese medicines regulating TJ in the treatment of UC in recent years, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the development of drugs for this disease.
ABSTRACT
Ulcerative colitis (UC) mainly occurs in the colon and rectum, with complex pathological mechanism. The occurrence of ulcerative colitis is associated with the uncontrollable inflammatory response of the intestine. The Western medicine therapy of UC mainly uses glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants to reduce intestinal inflammation. While blocking the progress of UC to a certain extent, it causes severe adverse reactions. More and more studies have confirmed that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has obvious advantages in the prevention and treatment of UC and can significantly reduce the recurrence of the disease. Pyroptosis, a novel form of cell death, can destroy cell structure, release intracellular pro-inflammatory substances, and mediate intestinal immune response in UC. TCM can promote pyroptosis (removing excess) or inhibit pyroptosis (replenishing deficiency), which is consistent with the regulation of Yin and Yang. TCM plays a role in the treatment of UC mainly by inhibiting pyroptosis (replenishing deficiency) and reducing intestinal immune response. In recent years, a large number of studies have been carried out to decipher the mechanism of TCM in the treatment of UC via NOD-like receptor protein domain 3 (NLRP3)-mediated pyroptosis pathway. The results have demonstrated that NLRP3 pathway is the key target of TCM in the treatment of UC. However, a comprehensive summary remains to be carried out on the inhibition of NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis pathway by TCM in the treatment of UC. Therefore, we retrieved the articles in this field in recent years with the keywords "pyroptosis", "NLRP3", "ulcerative colitis", and "Chinese medicine". The Chinese medicines regulating NLRP3 pathway mainly have the functions of clearing heat and drying dampness, harmonizing Qi and blood, moving Qi and dredging fu-organs, and invigorating spleen and removing dampness. The findings can help researchers to fully understand the mechanism of TCM in the treatment of UC via the NLRP3 pathway and provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of UC and further drug development.
ABSTRACT
Bavachinin is a dihydroflavone isolated from dried ripe fruits of Psoralea corylifolia L.,which has various pharmacological activities, such as anti-tumor, anti-virus, anti-diabetes, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective, and good potential in clinical applications. With the increasing concern about the safety of P. corylifolia applications in clinical, the bavachinin has been found to be one of the main components causing liver injury. In this paper, the pharmacological activities and hepatotoxicity of bavachinin in the recent 20 years were reviewed, in order to provide reference for the further study and clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a disease that affects the mucosal and submucosal layers of the colon and is characterized by inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. The incidence of UC is increasing year by year, and it is complex and refractory, severely impacting the physical and mental health of patients. The pathological mechanism of this disease is complex, with immune responses and uncontrollable inflammatory reactions in the intestine being important physiopathologic mechanisms. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), as a transmembrane signaling receptor, plays a key role in mediating immune responses and inflammatory reactions in the development of UC. Currently, the treatment of UC mainly relies on salicylic acids, glucocorticoids, and other agents to reduce intestinal inflammation. While these drugs can partially inhibit the progression of the disease, they often come with significant adverse effects and the potential for relapse upon discontinuation. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers multiple pathways, effects, and targets for regulating the TLR4 pathway, suppressing inflammatory responses, and effectively intervening in the progression of UC. This approach has become a hot topic in the prevention and treatment of UC. Numerous studies have shown that TCM treatment of UC has unique advantages. TCM can enhance immune defenses, suppress inflammatory responses, promote intestinal mucosal healing, and maintain the balance of the intestinal microbiota by regulating the TLR4 signaling pathway, thereby effectively treating UC, with substantial progress achieved. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive reviews on the role of TCM in regulating the TLR4 signaling pathway for the treatment of UC. Therefore, this article systematically summarized the relationship between the TLR4 signaling pathway and UC, as well as the role of TCM in this context, by reviewing relevant literature from recent years, aiming to provide new insights into the potential treatment and new drug development for UC.
ABSTRACT
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a clinical chronic intestinal disease, and the damage of the intestinal epithelial mucus barrier is an important pathological mechanism of UC. Mucin 2 (MUC2) is a major component of the intestinal mucus barrier, and goblet cells are the “main force” of MUC2 secretion, maintaining and renewing the intestinal mucus layer to ensure its integrity. Therefore, repairing the intestinal mucus barrier by promoting the synthesis of MUC2 by goblet cells is an important strategy for the treatment of UC. Traditional Chinese medicine scholars believe that there is an inherent layer of “lipid membrane” or “fat paste” in the intestine, and pathological factors such as moisture and heat lead to the thinning of this structure, which is the fundamental pathogenesis of “diarrhea” and “intestinal dysentery”. It coincides with the damage of intestinal mucus barrier leading to UC in modern medicine. Based on this, this paper summarized the mechanism of Chinese herbal compounds or Chinese herbal active components in regulating intestinal mucus barrier to interfere with UC. It was found that Chinese herbal compounds such as Huanglian jiedu decoction, Shaoyao decoction and Compound Kusen decoction, as well as Chinese herbal active ingredients such as volatile oil of Atractylodes lancea, paeoniflorin and papaya triterpenes could promote the synthesis and secretion function of goblet cells, and achieve the purpose of “thickening intestine”, thus relieving UC symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Gastric cancer (GC) is a digestive tract tumor that occurs in the epithelial tissues of the gastric mucosa, seriously affecting the life and health of patients, and its mortality rate ranks the third among malignancies. Although medical technology has made great progress in recent years, the progression of GC still cannot be effectively controlled by surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. The pathogenesis of GC is extremely complex and is closely related to the tumor microenvironment, chronic inflammation, and immune escape, among which the reduction of tumor cell apoptosis is one of the important mechanisms for the occurrence and development of GC. Apoptosis refers to the process of spontaneous termination of cell life caused by genes under specific physiological or pathological conditions, which is of great significance for maintaining the stability of the internal environment. Researchers have found that in the GC state, mitochondrial endogenous apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, external death receptors, and other apoptosis pathways are regulated by multiple signaling pathways and genes, which together lead to the decline of GC cell apoptosis rate and thus promote the progression of GC. Chinese medicine is advantageous and characterized by multiple components, multiple targets, synergistic effect, and few adverse reactions. A large number of studies have shown that polysaccharide components, as effective components of Chinese medicine, have biological activities such as cancer inhibition, blood sugar control, anti-inflammation, antioxidant damage, and anti-virus, and can effectively inhibit the deterioration of GC by inducing cell apoptosis, gradually becoming a hot spot in GC drug research and development. However, systematic reviews on the apoptosis of GC induced by Chinese medicine polysaccharides are rarely reported. Therefore, this paper analyzed and summarized the studies of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in promoting apoptosis and interfering with GC, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the basic research, new drug development, and clinical application of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of GC.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the effect of propofol combined with sevoflurane anesthesia on GABA A receptor (GABA AR)α 1/α 2 subunit homeostasis in hippocampus of rats with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods:Healthy clean-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 16-18 months, weighing 450-550 g, were anesthetized.MCI was induced by ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries after anesthesia.Morris water maze test was used to select the rats with MCI at 30 days after establishment of the model.The rats with MCI were divided into 4 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group Sham), sevoflurane anesthesia group (group S), propofol anesthesia group (group P), and propofol combined with sevoflurane anesthesia group (group SP). The rats inhaled 3% sevoflurane for 3 h in group S. Propofol 40 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused for 3 h in group P. The rats inhaled 1.7% sevoflurane, and propofol 20 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused for 3 h simultaneously in group SP.Open reduction and internal fixation was performed after tibial fracture was induced in S, P and SP groups.Y-maze test was performed at 14 days after operation to assess cognitive function.The expression of potassium-chloride cotransporter-2 (KCC2), sodium-potassium-chloride cotransporter 1 (NKCC1), GABA ARα 1 and GABA ARα 2 was determined using Western blot. Results:Compared with group Sham, the percentage of time of staying at novel arm was significantly decreased, the expression of hippocampal KCC2 and GABA ARα 1 was down-regulated, and the expression of NKCC1 and GABA ARα 2 was up-regulated in S and P groups ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group SP ( P>0.05). Compared with group S or group P, the percentage of time of staying at novel arm was significantly increased, the expression of hippocampal KCC2 and GABA ARα 1was up-regulated, and the expression of NKCC1 and GABA ARα 2 was down-regulated in group SP ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The mechanism by which propofol combined with sevoflurane anesthesia does not aggravate the postoperative cognitive dysfunction may be related to maintaining GABA ARα 1/α 2 subunit homeostasis in rats with MCI.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane combined with propofol anesthesia on the postoperative expression of nuclear heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein A2 (hnRNPA2) in brain tissues of rats with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 16-18 months,were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium.MCI was induced by ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries after anesthesia.Forty-eight rats with MCI were divided into 4 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group (SH group),sevoflurane anesthesia group (S group),propofol anesthesia group (P group),and sevoflurane combined with propofol anesthesia group (SP group).Group S inhaled 3% sevoflurane.Propofol was intravenously infused at a rate of 40 mg · kg-1 · h-1 in group P.In group SP,1.7% sevoflurane was inhaled,and propofol 20 mg· kg-1 · h-1 was intravenously infused.The anesthesia time was 3 h in the three groups.After disappearance of eyelash reflex,open reduction and internal fixation was performed after tibial fracture was induced.Y-maze test was performed at 7 days after operation,and the percentage of time of staying at novel arm was calculated.The open field test was performed,and the total activity distance and time of staying at the central region were recorded.Then the rats were sacrificed,and brain tissues were obtained for determination of the expression of hnRNAP2 and γ-aminobutyric acid receptor A1 subunit (GABAA-α1) in hippocampus by immunofluorescence and Western blot,respectively.Results Compared with SH group,the percentage of time of staying at novel arm was significantly decreased,the expression of hnRNPA2 in the hippocampus was up-regulated,and the expression of GABAA-α1 was down-regulated in S and P groups,and the expression of hnRNPA2 in the hippocampus was up-regulated (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the percentage of time of staying at novel ann or expression of GABAA-α1 in SP group (P> 0.05).Compared with S group or P group,the percentage of time of staying at novel arm was significantly increased,the expression of hnRN-PA2 in the hippocampus was down-regulated,and the expression of GABAA-α1 was up-regulated in SP group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the total distance or time of staying at the central region among the four groups (P> 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which sevoflurane combined with propofol anesthesia does not aggravate the postoperative cognitive dysfunction may be related to up-regulating the expression of hnRNPA2 in brain tissues and maintaining GABAA-α1 stable in rats with MCI.
ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate the effect of salvianolate syophilized injection on brain tissue gene expression profiles in stroke of diabetic rats.Methods T1DM was induced in adult male Wistar rats by injecting streptozotocin.T1DM rats were then subjected to 90 minutes of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO).The rats were randomly assigned to sham group(DM+Sham),ischemia-reperfusion group(DM+ MCAO/R),edaravone group(6 mg·kg-1,ED)and salvianolate lyophilized injection treatment group(5.25,10.5,21 mg·kg-1,SLI)with 13 rats in each group.Drugs were administered by tail vein injection 3 hours after MCAO/R,daily and lasting for 14 days.Infarct volume and gene expression in the brain tissue were detected by TTC staining and the gene chip technique.Results Compared with DM+Sham group,67 differential expressed genes were detected in the DM+MCAO/R group,among which 41 genes were up-regulated and 26 genes were down-regulated.Compared with DM+MCAO/R group,59 differential expressed genes were detected in the SLI(21 mg·kg-1)group,among which 45 genes were up-regulated and 14 genes were down-regulated.Hierarchical cluster results suggested that a number of genes were significantly changed in T1DM rats,such as Ly6i,Pax7 and Irx2.Effects of SLI on the stroke in T1DM rats were majorly related to coagulation and hemostasis system,inflammatory cytokines,oxidative stress,substance metabolism,angiogenesis and signal transduction.Conclusion Salvianolate lyophilized injection protects against focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in type 1 diabetic rats through regulation of the coagulation and hemostasis system,inflammatory cytokines,oxidative stress,substance metabolism,angiogenesis and signal transduction.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the correlation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PRRC2A gene with the susceptibility to sporadic breast cancer among Han women in Jiangsu Province, China. Methods:Using the genotyping technique of matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, we analyzed the polymorphisms of an SNP (chr6_31697494) in gene PRRC2A in 214 breast cancer patients and 212 healthy controls admitted to the Huaian Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital. The genotype frequencies were analyzed using a Chi-square test between the case and control groups. Unconditional lo-gistic regression analysis for calculating the odds ratio (OR) and 95%confidence interval (95%CI) was conducted by analyzing the cor-relation between the susceptibility to breast cancer and genotypes. Additional analysis was then performed based on the immunohisto-chemical results of the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR). Results:The genotype frequencies for chr6_31697494 between the case and control groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). Further analysis indicated that the genotype frequencies of the site were significantly different in the ER (+/-) groups or the PR (+/-) groups (P<0.05). Heterozygous genotype (chr6_31697494, CT) was related to the breast cancers with ER (+) and PR (+) (OR=0.40, 95%CI:0.33-0.47;OR=0.49, 95%CI:0.43-0.57, respectively). Conclusion:No significant difference was found between the polymorphism of chr6_31697494 in the PRRC2A gene and the suscepti-bility to breast cancer among Han women in Jiangsu Province. The heterozygous genotypes were associated with breast cancer tissues with ER (+) and PR (+).
