Mechanism of Bushen Yijing Method in Treatment of Oligoasthenozoospermia Based on Intestinal Microbiota / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Oligoasthenozoospermia is the main cause of male infertility， with complex and diverse causes. Currently， there are still some unclear causes of oligoasthenozoospermia in clinical practice， known as idiopathic oligoasthenozoospermia. With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology， it has been found that intestinal microbiota disorder may be an important promoting factor for the onset of oligoasthenozoospermia. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "deficiency of kidney essence" is the core pathogenesis of oligoasthenozoospermia. In clinical practice， the method of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the essence has a significant therapeutic effect on oligoasthenozoospermia， but its mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated. Based on the basic theories of traditional Chinese medicine and molecular biology research， it has been found that there is a similarity between "kidney essence" and intestinal microbiota. During the onset of oligoasthenozoospermia， the disorder of intestinal microbiota has similarities with the pathogenesis of "deficiency of kidney essence" in traditional Chinese medicine. Moreover， traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying the kidney and strengthening the essence can regulate the disorder of intestinal microbiota， which may be one of the effective mechanisms for the treatment of oligoasthenozoospermia with the Bushen Yijing method. Based on this， this article explored the mechanism of Bushen Yijing method of traditional Chinese medicine in treating oligoasthenozoospermia from the perspective of intestinal microbiota， so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of oligoasthenozoospermia with traditional Chinese medicine.

LI Haisong's Experience in Treating Spermatorrhea based on the View of "Spirit Controlling Essence and Qi" / 中医杂志

This paper summarized Professor LI Haisong's clinical experience in treating spermatorrhea based on the view of "spirit controlling essence and qi". It is emphasized that the heart spirit has the function of controlling the essence and qi of the human body， believing the frenetic stirring of heart spirit and the insecurity of essence gate are the core pathogenesis of spermatorrhea， LI advocates to regulate the heart spirit first and take into account of the zang-fu organs， essence and qi simultaneously for the treatment. Treatment should be performed according the clinical syndromes differentiatied. For those with heart spirit failing to nourish syndrome， it is recommended to supplement heart qi， nourish spirit and consolidate essence with self-made Yangxin Mijing Formula （养心秘精方）. In case of heart fire hyperactivity， the method of clearing heart heat and draining fire， calming spirit and consolidating essence should be used， and self-made Xiexin Gujing Formula （泻心固精方） is recommended. For heart-liver qi constraint， it is advised to soothe the liver and calm heart， calm the mind and regulate essence with self-made Jieyu Anshen Tiaojing Formula （解郁安神调精方） which is a modifcation to Chaihu Shugan Powder （柴胡疏肝散）. In terms of deficiency of both heart and liver， the treatment principle is supplementing spleen and nourishing heart， calming the mind and controlling essence， for which self-made Xinpi Tongtiao Shejing Formula （心脾同调摄精方） modified from Guipi Decoction （归脾汤） can be used. For deficiency of both heart and kidney， it is better to nourish the kidney and calm heart， calm the mind and consolidate essence with self-made Xinshen Liangzi Tianjing Formula （心肾两滋填精方） that modified from Shuilu Erxian Elixir （水陆二仙丹） and Wuzi Yanzong Pill （五子衍宗丸）. Prescriptions are used to treat the root by harmonizing the zang-fu organs， nourish the spirit by regulating qi and blood， and calm the mind by taking special medi-cinals， and they should be flexibly modified according to the disease.

Promoting Reform of Talent Evaluation Based on China Clinical Cases Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Talents are the main force for the development of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）， and the construction of TCM talents and the reformation of talent evaluation system are essential to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM. At present， we are still exploring and developing in the fields of the formulation， implementation and evaluation indicators of TCM talent evaluation system. However， there are shortcomings and difficulties. For instance， insufficient stratification in the evaluation， excessive emphasis on the quantity of achievements， neglecting the quality of the achievements and the actual contribution， imperfect assessment indicators， and the weak characteristics of TCM. Therefore， national ministries and commissions have jointly issued a document requesting to break the four only and set a new standard， in order to promote the construction of a scientific and technological talent evaluation system oriented by innovation value， ability and contribution. For the evaluation of TCM clinical talents， China Association for Science and Technology commissioned China Association of Chinese Medicine to build the China Clinical Cases Library of TCM（CCCL-TCM）， which aims at collecting the most authoritative and representative TCM clinical cases and exploring the advantages of applying clinical cases as masterpiece of achievement in TCM clinical talents evaluation. CCCL-TCM can promote the construction of a talent evaluation system that is more in line with the development characteristics of TCM industry， and to carry out relevant pilot in TCM colleges and institutions across the country in order to promote the reformation of TCM talent evaluation system.

Animal Experiments on Male Infertility Treated by Tonifying Kidney / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Experimental research on male infertility is critical to the study of the pathogenesis of male infertility and the evaluation of drug therapy. This paper reviewed animal experiments on male infertility in recent years. The experimental models of male infertility mainly include oligoasthenozoospermia （OA），teratozoospermia，azoospermia， and varicocele animal models. The OA animal models are mostly induced by glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii （GTW）， adenine，hydrocortisone， and radiation，which are mainly chemical means. The animal models of azoospermia were usually constructed by intraperitoneal injection of bissulfonyl alkylating agent busulfan and immersion of scrotum in 43 ℃ water. There are few studies on animal models of teratozoospermia，and the induction methods by GTW and methyl methanesulfonate（MMS） are common. The animal models of varicocele-caused infertility are usually induced by operation. The ligation of the middle division of the left renal vein between the lateral inferior vena cava and the medial spermatic vein has a significant influence on testicular morphology and epididymal sperm quality. Animal experimental studies have shown that classic prescriptions for tonifying the kidney and promoting spermatogenesis represented by Wuzi Yanzongwan and clinical empirical prescriptions by modern research have played a significant role in the treatment of male infertility. The mechanism of tonifying the kidney in the treatment of male infertility mainly focuses on inhibiting spermatogenic cell apoptosis. The kidney-tonifying method can regulate the apoptosis of spermatogenic cells，which provides a new treatment idea and a reliable scientific basis for traditional Chinese medicine in the field of male reproduction.

Analysis on the difference between the payment limitations of anti-cancer drugs and the application scope of drug indications / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE To analyze the difference between the payment limitations of anti-cancer drugs and application scope of drug instructions， so as to better implement the payment policy of medical insurance drugs. METHODS The differences between the payment limitations of anti-cancer drugs and application scope of drug instructions in the National Catalogue of Drugs for Basic Medical Insurance， Industrial Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance （2022） were compared and analyzed； the evidence-based basis of the difference was discussed， and the scope of limited payment was interpreted. RESULTS Totally 118 drugs had payment limitations； limitations scope mainly included limited evidence of gene detection results， limited indications， limited second-line and above treatment， limited payment duration， limited specialist prescription， limited medical institution grade， etc. Among them， 43 drugs had differences between the payment limitations and drug instructions， and the indications of 31 drugs were greater than payment limitations； for seven drugs， the drug indications beyond the payment limitations were recommended by the guidelines. The payment limitations of 75 drugs were consistent with drug instructions. The second-line and multi-line treatment was ineffective or intolerable with first-line drugs. There was a certain relationship between locally advanced， advanced or metastatic tumor and tumor stage， but different tumors had different criteria. Systemic treatment mainly referred to systemic treatment with drug. The results of limited genetic test required that the result was positive or negative. In addition， six kinds of TCM injections were limited to the level of medical institutions； the payment of two drugs did not exceed 12 months； when lenalidomide was combined with isazomide citrate， the medical insurance only paid for one of the drugs. CONCLUSIONS The payment limitations of some anti- cancer drugs are inconsistent with the drug indications. The drug payment limitations should be expanded according to the actual situation of clinical medication and the recommendations of guidelines. At the same time， the payment limitations should be formulated accurately and in detail， thus clinical and medical insurance staff can understand it and fully protect the interests of patients.

Effect of Shenkangling on Inflammatory State and Residual Renal Function in Patients with ;Maintenance Hemodialysis / 中国中医药信息杂志

Objective To observe the inflammatory state and residual renal function (RRF) of the patients with maintenance hemodialysis treated through Shenkangling. Methods Sixty patients with maintenance hemodialysis were randomly divided into two groups, the observation group (30 cases) and the control group (30 cases). They were treated through hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration. The patients in the observation group were treated with Shenkangling 8 tablets/time, 3 times/day. RRF and urine volume after six months were evalued. Serum high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and leukocyte mediated IL-6 (IL-6) before and after treatment were detected. Results There were no statistical differences in RRF and urine volume between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After six months, RRF and urine volume in the two groups were significantly reduced (P0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of hs-CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 significantly decreased in the observation group, and lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Shenkangling can protect the residual renal function of hemodialysis patients, and reduce the inflammatory reaction.

Objective To investigate the infection situation of intestinal nematodes and knowledge about the prevention and control of intestinal nematodiasis,so as to explore the effective control measures in Jingjiang City. Methods The towns where more floating people lived were randomly selected and the infection situation of intestinal nematodes was investigated with Kato-Katz method,and the residents'awareness of the prevention and control of nematodiasis was surveyed with questionnaires. Re-sults From 2013 to 2015,totally 4555 local residents and 2278 floating people were investigated in Jingjiang City. The infec-tion rate of intestinal nematodes was 0.29%(13 cases)in the local people,while the rate was 0.75%(17 cases)in the floating people,and the difference was significant(χ2=7.380,P0.05). The awareness rate of intestinal nematodiasis prevention and control of the local residents was significantly higher than that of the floating peo-ple(χ2 =9.649-164.533,all P<0.01). Conclusion The floating people is the focus of intestinal nematodiasis control,and the health education of ancylostomiasis control should be strengthened in Jingjiang City.

MicroRNA-146a promotes apoptosis of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells by targeting TAK1 / 中国病理生理杂志

AIM: To explore the effect of microRNA-146a (miR-146a) on apoptosis of human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells and the underluing mechanism.METHODS: miR-146a mimic (up-regulated miR-146a expression) and miR-146a inhibitor (down-regulated miR-146a expression) were transfected into the SGC-7901 cells by liposome method.At the same time, miRNA nonsense sequence transfection group as the negative control group (NC group) was set up.RT-qPCR was used to evaluate the levels of miR-146a in the SGC-7901 cells after transfection.The effects of miR-146a on the cell apoptosis and growth were assessed by flow cytometry analysis and CCK-8 assay, respectively.The effect of over-expression or knockdown of miR-146a on transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1)/ nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling was evaluated by RT-qPCR and Western blot.RESULTS: miR-146a modulated apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells.Over-expression of miR-146a significantly increased apoptosis, whereas knockdown of miR-146a inhibited the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells.The expression of TAK1 at mRNA and protein levels was significantly decreased when miR-146a mimic was transfected into the SGC-7901 cells (P<0.05).On the contrast, the expression of TAK1 at mRNA and protein were significantly higher in miR-146a inhibitor transfection group than that in NC group (P<0.05), suggesting that miR-146a negatively regulated TAK1 expression.Moreover, knockdown of TAK1 enhanced the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells (P<0.01), while over-expression of TAK1 inhibited the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells(P<0.01).Additionally, both over-expression of miR-146a and knockdown of TAK1 led to a prominent increase in the expression of NF-κB inhibitor protein alpha (IκBα) and a significat decrease in B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) level in the SGC-7901 cells.CONCLUSION: miR-146a significantly promotes apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells by inhibition of NF-κB pathway via targeting TAK1.
