RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:The specific mechanism of Gushukang,as a Chinese traditional patent medicine for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis of kidney deficiency and blood stasis,needs further studies. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Gushukang on serum sex hormones,bone microstructure and estrogen receptor in postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS:Firstly,network pharmacological analysis was performed.The active ingredients and action targets of Gushukang and the targets of postmenopausal osteoporosis were obtained respectively.Cytoscape was used to construct the active ingredient-target network.STRING database and Cytoscape were used for protein-protein interaction analysis and screening of core targets.DAVID database was used for Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses of intersection targets.Then the ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley rats were used in the animal experiment.Gushukang was administered by gavage for 3 months.The serum estrogen level was detected by ELISA,the bone microstructure was detected by microCT,and the protein expression of estrogen receptor α and estrogen receptor β in bone tiusse was detected by western blot. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The network pharmacological research results identified 132 active ingredients and 150 targets of Gushukang and 1155 targets of postmenopausal osteoporosis.After intersections with 1155 postmenopausal osteoporosis targets,87 targets of active ingredients of Gushukang against postmenopausal osteoporosis were obtained.By constructing the active ingredient-target network,it was found that the active ingredients at the core were quercetin,kaempferol,luteolin,naringin and isorhamnetin,and the targets at the core were NCOA2,ESR2,AR,F2,ESR1 and PTGS1.The final targets obtained after the protein-protein interaction analysis and screening included MAPK8,ESR1,JUN,R3C1,RELA and FOS,of which ESR1 was the common core target obtained from the two analyses.KEGG enrichment analysis showed estrogen,tumor necrosis factor,apoptosis and other signaling pathways.Therefore,animal experiments focused on the effect of Gushukang on different subtypes of estrogen receptors in the estrogen signaling pathway.The results showed that in the Gushukang group,bone microstructure was significantly improved,serum estrogen level had no significant change,but the protein expression of estrogen receptor α and β in bone tissue was significantly increased.All the findings indicate that the mechanism of Gushukang in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis may be related to its hormone-like effect and the enhancement of estrogen receptor expression.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the efficacy of the single-injection technique of PECS Ⅰ and Ⅱ blocks for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy. Methods Sixty female patients who would undergo elective unilateral modified radical mastectomy, aged 30-65 years, falling into ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were selected and randomly divided into PECS group (group P) or control group (group C), 30 cases in each. After induction, patients in group P underwent ultrasound-guided combined PECS Ⅰ and Ⅱ blocks in a single-injection technique before surgery, 30 ml of 0.5％ ropivacaine was given to these patients. Patients in group C received general anesthesia alone. Anesthesia maintenance was performed by total intravenous anesthesia. The dosage of intraoperative propofol and remifentanil, postoperative recovery time, the requirement of sufentanil at 48 h after operation and the first time pressing the analgesic pump button, rescue analgesic requirements at 48 h after operation and the pressing frequency of analgesic pump were recorded in the two groups. Results The usage of propofol and remifentanil in group P were significantly less than those in group C (P ＜ 0.05). The recovery time after operation was significantly shorter than that in group C (P ＜ 0.05). The total consumption of sufentanil after 48 h was significantly less than that in group C (P ＜ 0.05). The first pressing time of the analgesic pump in group P was significantly later than that in group C (P ＜ 0.05).The rescue analgesic requirements in group P at 48 h were lower than those in group C (P ＜ 0.05).The pressing frequencies of analgesic pump in group P at 24 h were less than those in group C (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion For patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy, ultrasound-guided combined PECS Ⅰ and Ⅱ blocks in a single-injection technique can reduce the dosage of opioid drugs in the perioperative period, and can provide better analgesic effect after operation.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the value of quantitative parameters of gemstone spectral CT in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods 29 patients with PE were examined by gemstone spectral CT under GSI scanning mode.The pulmonary embolus on CTPA image were detected and the location and number of embolus were recorded.A variety of quantitative parameters of the embolic and normal areas were measured by the GSI Viewer.Paired t test was used to compare and analyze the quantitative parameters,and ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of quantitative parameters.Results 76 clots were diagnosed by CTPA in 29 patients.The iodine content,slope of energy spectrum curve and corresponding CT of 40 keV in the embolic area were significantly lower than those in the normal area (P＜0.001),there were no significant differences in water content and effective atomic number between the embolic and normal area;The ROC curve analysis showed that iodine content had the largest area under the diagnosis curve of pulmonary embolism (0.84)with the specificity of 88% and the sensitivity of 65%.The AUC could be up to 0.89 when three quantitative parameters were combined to get the ROC curve,with the sensitivity of 82% and the specificity of 90%.Conclusion Some quantitative parameters of the pulmonary embolic area are lower than those in the normal area,which indirectly reflect the abnormal blood perfusion of the embolism and provide more basis for the early diagnosis,condition assessment and evaluation of therapeutic effect of PE.
