ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the medication characteristics of ancient prescriptions for pediatric epilepsy (PE) through data mining; To summarize the compatibility law; To provide a reference for the treatment selection of Chinese materia medica and the development of patent drugs related to PE in clinic.Methods:Those with definite composition, dosage and efficacy for the treatment of PE was screened from the data of TCM prescription designed by Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine Information, China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Excel 2013 was used to analyze the frequency of Chinese materia medica and its flavor and meridian tropism in the included prescriptions. The arules package in R 3.6.3 was used for association analysis based on Apriori algorithm. The sankey package and ggraph package of R 3.6.3 were used to draw the network diagram of the property, taste, meridian tropism and association rules of high-frequency Chinese medicine, so as to realize data visualization.Results:A total of 360 ancient prescriptions for the treatment of PE were included, and the dosage form was mainly pills. Most of the prescriptions were composed of 1 to 10 kinds of Chinese materia medica, with a total of 192 (53.33%, 192/360) prescriptions. 152 kinds of Chinese materia medica were included. The most commonly used types of Chinese materia medica were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Moschus, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Gastrodiae Rhizoma, and Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata. The properties of high-frequency Chinese materia medica (frequency≥30) were characterized by warm and mild, and the tastes were mainly pungent, bitter and sweet, and the meridians were mainly spleen and liver meridians. Through Apriori association analysis, the commonly used combination drugs were Bovis Calculus-Moschus, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma-Poria and Saposheikovize Radix-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Similarly, the commonly used triple drugs included Gastrodiae Rhizoma-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata-Bombyx Batryticatus, Poria-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma-Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, and Moschus-Bovis Calculus-Realgar.Conclusions:The ancient prescriptions for the treatment of PE is mainly composed of wind-calming, resuscitation and tonifying drug. The core prescription ideas of the ancient prescriptions are as follows: dispelling phlegm and dispelling wind, warming the meridian and dispelling yang, resuscitating and relieving spasms, clearing heat and reducing depression, and tonifying qi and blood.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the health status of rodent laboratory animals by pathological diagnosis, our lab has being take apart in investigating the quality of laboratory animals in Beijing area for years and offer some advices for standardized breeding to ensure accurate results of scientific research.This paper focuses on the analysis of laboratory rodent samples that collected in October 2014.Methods We collected the heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, large intestine and small intestine, and put these organs into 10%Calcium formaldehyde solution for fixation, and then prepared into two different sections for optical microscopy observation including all paraffin specimens stained with H&E and the frozen sections stained with Oil Red-O and PAS.Results The vast majority of laboratory rodents were up to standard, but there still a problem in individual units.The main problem is liver and lung disease.The rate of Hepatocyte swellingis 6%(mouse), 2.5% (rat), 8.2% (guinea pig), moreover part of them were lipidosis, according to Oil Red-O stain.the mainly problem of lung is congestion ,edema and Interstitial pneumonia ,the detectable rate of pulmonarydiseases is 15.5%(guinea pig).Conclusions The vast majority of laboratory rodents were pathologically diagnosed as healthy animals.The liver disease may be caused by improper feeding.And disease of lung may led by haze, unqualified bedding and low temperature.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of clinical psychological intervention on anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients .Methods Hemodialysis patients were randomly divided into two groups:psychological inter-vention group and control group ,25 patients in each group .In intervention group ,besides routine clinical treatment and nursing measures ,we analyzed the clinical information of the patients ,consulted the relevant documents ,combined the evidence and clinical experience ,and finally conducted the psychological intervention .Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale of these patients were analyzed .Results Before the intervention , the SAS and SDS scores of intervention group and control group were (57.3 ±1.5) versus (56.9 ±1.6) and (55.3 ±2.3) versus (56.1 ±3.5),respectively.The t values were 0.912(P>0.05) and 0.955(P>0.05),respectively.After interven-tion,the score before and after the trial between these two groups were significantly different (P<0.05).The SAS and SDS scores of intervention group and control group were (16.4 ±0.9) versus (10.1 ±1.3) and (14.3 ±2.1) ver-sus (9.7 ±1.5),respectively.Conclusion Clinical psychological intervention can effectively relieve anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients .
ABSTRACT
Objective Mongolian gerbil can make themself urine concentration for saving water and adapt to the harsh desert environment, due to their very unique moisture control system in the body.Methods Mongolian gerbil is resistant to drought on account of their special kidney. Histology of the kidney, ureter and bladder in Meriones Unguiculataus were observed by light microscopy using HE staining.Results The results showed that compared with rats and mice, the Mongolian gerbils have more developed distal tubules, and well developed inner renal medulla.Conclusions We hope that the findings of this study enrich our understanding of the histology of urinary system in Mongolian gerbils and provide support for the laboratory animalization of this animal.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the effects of Small Qinglong Decoction medicine-containing serum on ASMC proliferation action induced by ET-1.Methods: There were six groups in the experiment: normal group(10% normal control serum),model group(ET-1 added 10% normal control serum),Small Qinglong Decoction high dose group(ET-1 added 10% Small Qinglong Decoction high dose serum),Small Qinglong Decoction middle dose group(ET-1 added 10% Small Qinglong Decoction middle dose serum),Small Qinglong Decoction low dose group(ET-1 added 10% Small Qinglong Decoction low dose serum) and Dexamethasone group(ET-1 added 10% Dexamethasone serum),eight slots every group.ASMC proliferation status of 24h,48h and 72h were detected with MTT chromometry.Results: Compared with model group,ASMC proliferation in Small Qinglong Decoction low dose group medicine-containing serum each stage and middle dose group24h and 72h all had significant difference(P
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the anticaries effects of salivary gland extract (SGE). Methods: Dental caries model was established in 80 SD rats by feeding with cariogenic diet 2000 and by infecting with cariogenic bacteria. 20 model rats in each of the 4 experimental group were fed with SGE at 400 mg/kg, 1 500 mg/kg or 5 mg/L of NaF or deionic water respectively,another 20 were fed with ordinary diet as blank control. The anticaries effects were evaluated by Keyes caries scores, SOD activity in blood cells was determined by NBT test. The effect of SGE on dissoluble Ca 2+ from teeth was determined in electrochemical artificial caries model in vitro. Results: caries was not observed in the blank control. According to Keyes caries score, at E, Ds, Dm and Dx levels, the score in SGE groups was significantly lower than that in the model group (P0.05). SGE obviously enhanced SOD activity (P
