Analysis on Changes of Aquaporin and Intestinal Flora in a Rat Model with Spleen-Yin Deficiency Syndrome / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of spleen-Yin deficiency on gastrointestinal absorption， water metabolism and intestinal flora in rats with spleen-Yin deficiency syndrome. MethodA rat model of spleen-Yin deficiency syndrome was established by using the composite factors， including irregular meat and vegetable diet， weight-bearing fatigue swimming and gavage with warm-heat injury-Yin drugs. The changes of body weight， food intake， water intake and duration of swimming in the blank and model groups were observed. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the histopathological damage of the stomach and colon. Urinary excretion rate of D-xylose was determined by phloroglucinol method. The content of gastrin（GAS） in serum was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. The relative expression levels of vasoactive intestinal peptide（VIP）， aquaporin 3（AQP3） and AQP4 in gastric tissues were detected by Western blot. The relative mRNA expression levels of VIP， AQP3 and AQP4 in gastric tissues were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）， and the changes of intestinal flora were analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing. ResultCompared with the blank group， the results of general physical signs showed that the body weight and food intake of rats in the model group were significantly decreased， the water intake was significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the duration of swimming was significantly decreased（P<0.01）. Pathological examination results showed that in the mucosa of gastric tissues of rats in the model group appeared to be misaligned， the mucosa of colonic tissues could be seen to be obviously thinned or mutilated， and the epithelial cells appeared to be necrotic or even exfoliated. Compared with the blank group， the urinary D-xylose excretion rate of rats in the model group was significantly decreased（P<0.01）， and the serum GAS content was significantly decreased（P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， Western blot results showed that the relative expression level of VIP protein in gastric tissues of rats in the model group was significantly decreased， while the relative expression levels of AQP4 and AQP3 proteins were significantly increased（P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， Real-time PCR results showed that the relative expression level of VIP mRNA in gastric tissues of rats in the model group was significantly decreased（P<0.01）， and the relative mRNA expression levels of AQP3 and AQP4 were significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， the results of intestinal flora analysis showed that the number of operational taxonomic units（OTUs） and α-diversity increased and β-diversity decreased significantly in the model group， the abundance of Porphyromonadaceae was increased significantly， and the abundance of Oscillibacter_ruminantium was decreased significantly（P<0.05）. Spearman correlation analysis showed that Porphyromonadaceae was significantly positively correlated with AQP4 protein level， while Oscillibacter_ruminantium was significantly positively correlated with VIP protein level， and negatively correlated with AQP3 and AQP4 protein levels（P<0.05）. Linear discriminant analysis effect size（LEfSe） analysis results showed that there were significant differences in a variety of intestinal bacteria between groups， and the intestinal bacteria of the model group were significantly enriched in the phylum/order/family/genus of Elusimicrobia， Betaproteobacteria， Burkholderiales， Sutterellaceae and Parasutterella（P<0.05）. ConclusionSpleen-Yin deficiency syndrome can weaken the digestion and absorption capacity of gastrointestinal tract， and cause the disturbance of water metabolism and intestinal flora. AQP4， AQP3 and VIP protein levels of gastric mucosa are closely related to Porphyromonadaceae and Oscillibacter_ruminantium. And AQP4， AQP3 and VIP may be involved in the regulation of intestinal flora in order to affect the physiological function of spleen governing transportation and transformation.

Effects of Epidural Anesthesia Analgesia on Childbearing / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of epidural anesthesia analgesia on childbearing. METHODS:197 delivery woman were randomly divided into observation group (95 cases) and control group (102 cases). Control group was given natural childbirth,and observation group was additionally given epidural anesthesia analgesia. Neonatal Apgar score (5 min),behavioral neurological score and VAS,mother-infant situation,the incidence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in neonatal Apgar score and behavioral neurological score between 2 groups (P>0.05);VAS score and the rate of cesarean section in observation group was significantly lower than in control group,with statistical significance(P0.05). ADR as itchy skin,nausea and vomiting,headache,limb numbness of observation group were improved after symptomat-ic treatment. CONCLUSIONS:The epidural anesthesia analgesia have no effect on childbearing and can relieve labor pain with good safety.

Qualitative research in the real experiences in the treatment of patients with new respiratory infectious diseases / 现代临床护理

Objective To investigate the real experiences of nurses participating in the treatment of patients with new respiratory infectious diseases. Method The semi-structural interview method was used to carry out in-depth interviews with 8 nurses who were involved in the whole process of treatments and cares of patients with SARS and H1N1 influenza to understand their real experiences. Result The nurses, who participated in the treatment and care to patients with new respiratory infectious diseases, experienced such emotions of nervousness, excitement, anxiety, fear, exhaustion, obtained support from their families, hospitals, society and meanwhile recognized their lack of professional knowledge and clinical skills. Conclusion The nurses participating in the treatment of patients with new respiratory infectious diseases should be given strengthened professional training , psychological and social support.

Protective effects of tetrahydroxystilbeneglucoside on cardiac dysfunction in experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy / 中国药理学通报

Aim To study the protective effect of tetra-hydroxystilbeneglucoside ( TSG ) on cardiac injury and the mechanism involved in silent mating type informa-tion regulation 2 homolog 1 ( SIRT1 ) and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase( AMPK) in the diabetic rats. Methods Type 2 diabetic rats were sac-rificed after administration with TSG for 8 weeks. Blood glucose, blood lipids, liverfunction,creatine ki-nase ( CK ) , lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) as well as myocardial nonesterified fatty acids( NEFA) were deter-mined by using biochemical test. The concentration of myocardial fatty acid transport proteins ( FATPs ) and-fatty acid β-oxidase ( FA-β-oxidase ) , and the levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α) , interleukin -6 ( IL-6 ) , interleukin-1β( IL-1β) in serum were also measured by ELISA method and radio immunoassay re-spectively. The protein expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, SIRT1 and AMPK were detected by Western blot. Results Treatment of TSG reduced the contentof blood lipids, NEFA and collagen without affecting the content of blood glucose and insulin. The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1βin serum as well as the protein expressions of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β of cardia were also inhibited by administration with TSG. Treatment of TSG caused a significantly increased concentration of myocaidial FATPs and FA-β-oxidase, and dramatically restored the decreased protein expressions of SIRT1 and pAMPK in diabetic rats. Conclusion The protec-tive mechanisms of TSG against diabetic rats are in-volved in the alleviation of inflammatory mediator injury and improving energy metabolism.
