ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of TCM health management based on tertiary management system for patients with myocardial infarction (MI). MethodsA total of 277 patients with non-acute MI were enrolled and given comprehensive TCM health management strategies including health education, lifestyle adjustment, risk factors control, medication and TCM appropriate techniques management through a tertiary management system with "the patient as the core, village/community physicians as the main executive body, and tertiary TCM hospital specialists as the leading body", for a period of 12 months by using a prospective single-arm cohort study. Through patient reporting and medical records surveys, various indicators before and after 12-month management were collected and compared. The primary efficacy indicators were readmission rate and recurrent exacerbation rate, and the secondary efficacy indicators included disease awareness-related indicators, lifestyle behavior-related indicators, cardiovascular risk factor-related indicators and Canadian cardiovascular society (CCS) cardiac function classification. ResultsA total of 255 patients completed the study and were included in the final analysis. The recurrent exacerbation and readmission rates of patients after management were 23.14% (59 cases) and 20.25% (49 cases), respectively, significantly lower than 36.08% (92 cases) and 53.72% (130 cases) before management (P<0.05). Except for knowledge on diabetes diagnostic criteria with no significant difference before and after management (P>0.05), awareness of other knowledge with regard to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were improved after management (P<0.01), as well as the total score (P<0.01). In terms of daily life behaviors, the rates of salty diet, sweet diet and greasy diet were significantly lower than baseline, while the rate of moderate exercise was significantly higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the rates of ongoing smoking and vigorous exercise were not significantly changed (P>0.05). For cardiovascular risk factors, patients' total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, total depression assessment scale score, and total anxiety assessment scale score were significantly reduced after management (P<0.01). Systolic blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) were both higher after management (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and there was no statistically significant difference in diastolic blood pressure (P>0.05). In terms of the cardiovascular disease risk factors reaching the standard levels, the rate of LDL cholesterol <1.8 mmol/L significantly increased (P<0.01), while the rate of BMI <24 kg/m2 and the rate of systolic blood pressure <140 mmHg both decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01) from baseline; the diastolic blood pressure and rate of fasting glucose <7.0 mmol/L were not significantly changed (P>0.05). The patients' CCS cardiac function classification was significantly reduced (P<0.05). ConclusionTCM health management based on the tertiary management system can enhance MI patients' awareness of the disease, change poor lifestyle habits, reduce risk factors such as blood lipids and blood glucose, improve anxiety and depression, increase activity tolerance, and reduce their recurrence exacerbation and readmission rates, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
RÉSUMÉ
Autoimmune diseases(ADs) are diseases in which the body’s immune tolerance is impaired, causing damage to its tissues. The pro-inflammatory helper T cell 17 (Th17) and anti-inflammatory regulatory T cell (Treg) are functionally antagonistic to each other, and the immune imbalance between them and the imbalance of related inflammatory factors are closely related to the occurrence of a variety of ADs. Plenty of evidence has shown that gut microbiota can regulate Th17/Treg differentiation, rebuild immune tolerance and delay the ADs process through regulating cytokine production, transcription factor expression and energy metabolism. This paper reviews the intervention effects of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) monomers on the common ADs by regulating Th17/Treg differentiation balance based on intestinal flora: ulcerative colitis,rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes mellitus type 1. It is found that its mechanism of action may be to restore the balance of pro-inflammatory factors and anti-inflammatory factors to alleviate intestinal mucosal barrier damage, reduce synovial angiogenesis and improve pancreatic β cell destruction, which provides some ideas for the prevention and treatment of ADs with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Shenfu yixin decoction on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and energy metabolism in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes. METHODS: After isolation, culture and identification, primary cardiomyocytes of neonatal SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive control group (coenzyme Q10, 0.1 mmol/L) and Shenfu yixin decoction low-dose and high-dose groups (0.25, 0.5 mg/mL). Except for normal group, other groups were cultured with 5%O2, 5%CO2 and 90%N2 for 6 h to induce hypoxic injury model. After 6 hours of hypoxia, ROS contents in cardiomyocytes and mitochondria of each group were detected by ROS probe and flow cytometry. Luciferase luminescence and Western blotting were used to detect ATP content and CK protein expression of each group. Transmission electron microscope was used to observe ultrastructure of cardiomyocytes in each group. RESULTS: Compared with normal group, the expression of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes and mitochondria as well as the content of ROS were increased significantly, while the content of ATP and expression levels of CK protein were decreased significantly (P<0.05); there were swelling of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, dissolution or even disappearance of mitochondrial ridge, obvious cardiomyocytes injury. Compared with model group, the expression of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes and mitochondria of administration groups, the contents of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group as well as the content of ROS in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes mitochondria of administration groups were all decreased significantly, while ATP contents in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group as well as expression levels of CK protein in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes of administration groups were all increased significantly (P<0.05). The primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes injury was relieved significantly in positive control group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group. CONCLUSIONS: Shenfu yixin decoction can improve primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes, down-regulate the expression of ROS in cardiomyocytes and mitochondria and also improve its energy metabolism.

Objective:To investigate the effects of the Paecilomyces Lilacinuson extracellular polysaccharides on the phenotypic and maturation of murine dendritic cells. Methods: Imature DCs were induced in vitro from the murine bone marrow cells in the presence of rmGM-CSF and rmIL-4, and then they were cultured with different dosage of the extracellular polysaccharides. The morphological characterization was analyzed under microscopy. The expressions of the DCs surface costimulating factors and phagocytic function to FITC-dextran were detected by flow cytometry. The level of IL-12 secreted by DCs was observed by ELISA. At the same time the influence of DCs on the proliferation of T cells was determined by MTT. Results:Treating with the polysaccharides for 48 h could up-regulate the expression of DCs surface molecules,such as CD11c,MHCⅡ,CD80 and CD86,and the 400 μg/ml was the optimal dose,comparing with the blank control group, the difference was significant (P<0. 01), contrast to LPS control group that was not different ( P<0. 05 ) . The uptaking FITC-dextran ability of the DCs treated with 300 μg/ml and 400 μg/ml polysaccharides was significant lower than the unstimulated DCs(P<0. 05). At the same time the extract at different concentration could distinctly enhance the proliferation of T cells by DCs too. Conclusion:The extracellular polysaccharides could stimulate the maturation of dendritic cells and induce the production of mature dendritic cells.

This article was aimed to determine effects of Jia-Shen prescription (JSP) on infarct size (IS), cardiac function and myocardial cytokine in the early phase of myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Acute MI models were induced by the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. The rats were ran-domly divided into five groups, which were the sham-operated group, model group, JSP-3 g (3 g·kg-1·day-1) group, JSP-6 g (6 g·kg-1·day-1) group, and the losartan (10 mg·kg-1·day-1) group. IS was determined by Evans blue and 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) 3 days after MI. The left ventricular structure and contractility were measured by echocardiography performed 7 days after MI. And contents of myocardial inflammatory mediators in-cluding tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were measured by ELISA. The results showed that compared with the model group, treatment with JSP at the dose of 6 g significantly reduced myocardial IS (P<0.05);left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and left ventricu-lar end systolic diameter (LVESD) were significantly decreased (P<0.05); left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS) were significantly increased (P<0.05).The results were similar as the losartan group. Compared with the model group, JSP can significantly reduce the production of TNF-α, IL-1βand MCP-1 in cardiac tissues (P<0.05). Except TNF-α, these effects of JSP were in a dose-dependent manner. JSP (6 g) had equal effectiveness with losartan. It was concluded that consistent with losartan-induced cardioprotection, JSP administered after MI reduced myocardial IS, improved cardiac function, and decreased inflammatory mediators in ischemic myocardium. The data indicated that JSP exerted its cardioprotection possibly via inhibiting inflammatory response.
