ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the underlying mechanism of bran-fried Atractylodis Rhizoma （AR） in improving gastrointestinal function by comparing the effects of raw AR and bran-fried AR on the small intestine tissue structure and transport-related protein carriers in rats with spleen deficiency syndrome. MethodSeventy male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group， a model group， high- and low-dose raw AR groups （10， 2.5 g·kg-1）， high- and low-dose bran-fried AR groups （10， 2.5 g·kg-1）， and a compound glutamine group （9 mg·kg-1）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， the other six groups were subjected to the spleen deficiency model induced by the method of bitter and cold breaking stagnated Qi and abnormal hunger and fullness for 21 days. After modeling， each treatment group was given medication orally according to the corresponding doses every day for a total of 14 days， and the normal group and the model group were given an equal volume of normal saline orally. During the treatment period， the general survival status， macroscopic syndrome score， daily increase in body weight and food intake， and rectal temperature of the spleen deficiency rats were evaluated， and after the treatment， the rats were sacrificed. The pathological changes in the small intestine tissues of each group were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The content of serum 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， and the content of serum D-xylose， lactate， and amylase was detected by colorimetry. The levels of free fatty acid receptor 3 （FFA3） and peptide transporter 1 （PepT1） in small intestinal tissues were detected by the Bradford method， and the protein expression of sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 （SGLT1） and glucose transporter 1 （GLUT1） in small intestinal tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of glucose transporter 2 （GLUT2）， sodium/hydrogen exchanger 3 （NHE3）， and 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 4 （5-HT4R）. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group exhibited symptoms of spleen deficiency， such as sluggishness， squint， reduced food intake， and lethargy at the end of modelling， damaged basic structure of the small intestinal mucosal epithelium and lamina propria， increased serum lactate and 5-HT content， and decreased serum amylase and D-xylose （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all treatment groups showed varying degrees of improvement， with the small intestinal microstructure repaired to different degrees. The daily weight gain， anal temperature， and macroscopic syndrome score of spleen deficiency improved to varying degrees （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The serum lactate and 5-HT content decreased to varying degrees， while the serum amylase and D-xylose content increased to varying degrees （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The PepT1 content in the small intestinal tissues increased， while the FFA3 content decreased to varying degrees. The protein expression of SGLT1 and GLUT1 increased， while the mRNA expression of GLUT2 and NHE3 increased to varying degrees. The mRNA expression of 5-HT4R decreased to varying degrees （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the high- and low-dose raw AR groups， the high- and low-dose bran-fried AR groups showed significant improvement in general conditions and histopathological improvement of the small intestinal tissues. The daily weight gain， anal temperature， and macroscopic syndrome score of spleen deficiency also improved （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The serum lactate and 5-HT content decreased， while the serum amylase and D-xylose content increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The PepT1 content in the small intestinal tissues increased， while the FFA3 content decreased. The protein expression of SGLT1 and GLUT1 increased， while the mRNA expression of GLUT2 and NHE3 increased. The mRNA expression of 5-HT4R decreased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionBran-fried AR can improve the spleen deficiency-related symptoms and histopathology of the small intestinal tissues in spleen deficiency model rats. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the expression of various transport-related protein carriers and the secretion of various digestive enzymes after stir-frying of AR， thus restoring the absorption and transport function of the small intestine.
ABSTRACT
Objective The aim of this research is to identify and compare the adjustment levels in patients with temporary and permanent colostomy, and to provide evidence to improve nursing performance. Methods In the First, Second, and Third Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, 52 patients with colorectal stoma participated in the research and completed the questionnaire of OAS (Ostomy Adjustment Scale) and demographic data. The data were established using Epidata 3.1, then analyzed with SPSS 17.0. The results were described using frequency, mean, stand deviations, and p values.Results Patients with permanent colostomy gained higher scores in OAS scores and psychological adaptation. Patients with temporary colostomy had higher scores in physical adaptation and social adaptation. Conclusion The nursing staff will promote the quality of life for this population from multiple perspectives in the future.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the relationship among serum hepatitis B virus (HBV ) envelope large protein (HBV‐LP ) , HBV‐DNA and HBV marker(HBV‐M ) for investigating the clinical significance of HBV‐LP to reflect the HBV in vivo replication in the patients with HBV infection .Methods Total 540 cases of chronic HBV infection treated in the Longgang District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2013 to September 2015 were selected .The real‐time fluorescence quantitative PCR meth‐od was used to detect serum HBV‐DNA ,HBV‐LP and HBV‐M were detected by the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . The correlation among HBV‐LP ,HBV‐M and HBV‐DNA were analyzed .Results The positive rate of HBV‐LP in HBeAg‐positive patients was 96 .39% ,and which of HBV‐DNA was 93 .33% ,there was no statistically significant difference between them (P>0 .05);The serum HBV‐LP level was positively related with the logarithmic value of HBV‐DNA copies ;the positive rate of HBV‐LP in HBeAg‐negative patients was 63 .33% ,and which of HBV‐DNA was 51 .11% ,the difference between them was statistically significant(P<0 .05) .Conclusion HBV‐LP can effectively reflect the HBV in vivo replication in the patients with chronic hepatitis B and its sensitivity is higher than that of HBeAg ,HBV‐LP can even more reflect the HBV in vivo replication status in patients with HBeAg‐negative chronic hepatitis B .
ABSTRACT
The binding mechanism between pefloxacin mesylate (PM) and transferrin (Tf) was explored using spectral experiment combined with molecular modeling techniques. The binding parameters and thermodynamic functions of PM-Tf solution system were measured at different temperatures. The effect of PM on molecular conformation of Tf was investigated and the interaction mechanism was also discussed. The results showed that dynamic quenching mechanism occurs with PM binding to Tf. The value of binding distances (r) is low, which indicates the occurrence of energy transfer. The drug had conformational effect on Tf, which resulted in changes of hydrophobic environment of the binding domain in Tf. According to the obtained thermodynamic parameters, the main interaction force between PM and Tf is attributed to hydrophobic bonding. The results of molecular modeling revealed that hydrophobic and hydrogen bonds are main binding forces in the PM-Tf system. These results were in accordance with spectral experiments. The research results have given a better theoretical reference for the study of pharmacological mechanism between protein and quinolone.
