Objective:To observe the effect of modified Si Junzitang on the level of lactic acid in gastric mucosa and the expression of Carboxylic acid transporter 1（MCT1）， monocarboxylic acid transporter 4（MCT4）， and extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer （CD147）in rats with gastric precancerous lesions（GPL）. Method:Seventy-four SD male rats were randomly divided into normal group （12 rats） and model group （62 rats）. <italic>N</italic>-methyl-<italic>N'</italic>-nitro-<italic>N</italic>-nitrosoguanidine（MNNG）-ammonia compound method was used to establish GPL rat models， and at the 9<sup>th</sup> week， the model rats were randomly divided into model group， folic acid group（2.7 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>）， modified Si Junzitang high， medium and low dose groups（12.6， 6.3， 3.15 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>）， with 12 rats in each group. After intragastric administration for 12 weeks， the general conditions of the rats were observed. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE）staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of gastric mucosa in rats， chemical colorimetry was used to detect the content of lactic acid in gastric mucosa； immunohistochemistry and real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）were used to detect MCT1， MCT4， CD147 protein and mRNA expression in gastric mucosal tissues. Result:Modified Si Junzitang significantly improved the pathological manifestations in GPL rats such as gastric mucosal epithelial gland structure， disorder of arrangement and cell atypia. Compared with the normal group， the lactic acid content of the gastric mucosa tissue in the model group increased significantly（<italic>P</italic><0.01）， and the protein and mRNA expressions of MCT1， MCT4， CD147 significantly increased（<italic>P</italic><0.05， <italic>P</italic><0.01）. Compared with the model group， the lactic acid content in each dose group of modified Si Junzitang was significantly reduced（<italic>P</italic><0.05， <italic>P</italic><0.01）， and the protein expression levels of MCT4 and CD147 were also significantly reduced in each dose group of modified Si Junzitang（<italic>P</italic><0.05， <italic>P</italic><0.01）. The mRNA expression of MCT4 was significantly reduced in the middle and high dose groups（<italic>P</italic><0.05， <italic>P</italic><0.01）， and the mRNA expression of CD147 was significantly reduced in the high dose group（<italic>P</italic><0.05）. Modified Si Junzitang showed no significant regulatory effect on MCT1. Conclusion:Modified Si Junzitang can significantly improve the abnormal histopathology of gastric mucosal epithelium in GPL model rats. Its mechanism may be related to down-regulating the overexpression of MCT4 and CD147， inhibiting lactic acid outflow， and improving the acidic microenvironment of gastric mucosal epithelium.
RESUMO
Objective::To study the effect of Yupingfeng granule on the degranulation of skin mast cells in chronic urticaria (CU) rats and the intervention mechanism of interleukin-23(IL-23), interleukin-17(IL-17) inflammation axis. Method::Totally 60 SPF SD rats were selected and randomly divided into normal group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), and loratadine group (0.9 mg·kg-1·d-1), high-dose Yupingfeng granules group (4.05 g·kg-1·d-1), middle-dose group (2.7 g·kg-1·d-1), low-dose group (1.35 g·kg-1·d-1). The CU rat model was reproduced through intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin with aluminum hydroxide suspension and DTP vaccine. Histopathological changes of rat skin were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Degranulation of mast cells in rat skin was determined by toluidine blue staining. IL-23 and IL-17 protein expressions in skin tissue were determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC). IL-23 and IL-17 mRNA transcription levels in skin tissue were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Result::Yupingfeng granules can significantly alleviate the pathological manifestations of dermal edema, collagen beam distance, inflammatory cell infiltration of CU rats, and reduce the degranulation reaction of skin tissue mast cells in CU rats. The IL-23, IL-17 mRNA and protein expressions of the skin of model group were significantly increased compared with the normal group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Yupingfeng granules can significantly down-regulate IL-23 mRNA and protein expressions of CU rats (P<0.05, P<0.01). Yupingfeng granules had no significant regulatory effect on IL-17. Conclusion::Yupingfeng granule can significantly reduce the degranulation of mast cells in skin tissue of CU rats, and improve the pathological manifestations, such as dermal edema, serous exudation and inflammatory cell infiltration. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting the secretion of IL-23 pro-inflammatory cytokines and improving CU lesions.

These rats were used to replicate the UC rat model by 2，4，6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid （TNBS）-ethanol composite modeling and treated by gavage for 2 weeks. The general condition of rats in each group was observed. After anesthesia，blood was collected from abdominal aorta and colonic tissue was taken. Semi quantitative evaluation by the colon mucosa damage index （CMDI），the pathological changes of colonic tissue were observed by the hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining. The contents of serum interleukin-4 （IL-4），IL-6，IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expressions of mammalian target of rapamycin（mTOR） and phosphorylated ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 （p-S6K1） in colonic mucosa were detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC） and Western blot. Result:Compared with normal group，the CMDI score of the model group rats was significantly increased （P<0.01）. The contents of IL-4 and IL-10 in serum were significantly decreased，the contents of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The expression levels of mTOR and p-S6K1 in colonic mucosa were up-regulated （P<0.01）. Compared with model group，the CMDI score of the modified Fuzi Lizhongtang high dose group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. In modified Fuzi Lizhongtang high and medium dose group，the contents of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased （P<0.01） and the contents of IL-4 and IL-10 in serum were significantly increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）. In the modified Fuzi Lizhongtang high dose group，the expression level of mTOR and p-S6K1 protein was down-regulated significantly （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Conclusion:Modified Fuzi Lizhongtang high dose group can significantly reduce the congestion and edema，inflammatory cell infiltration，gland distortion，disorder of arrangement and other pathological manifestations of UC colon mucosa，and its mechanism may be related to its down-regulation of mTOR/p-S6K1 signal and the regulation of inflammatory factors secretion.

RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effects of Weipixiao (胃痞消, WPX) on Wnt pathway-associated proteins in gastric mucosal epithelial cells from rats with gastric precancerous lesions (GPL).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into control, model, vitacoenzyme (0.2 g·kg(-1)·day(-1)), WPX high-dose (H-WPX, 15 g·kg(-1)·day(-1)), WPX medium-dose (M-WPX, 7.5 g·kg(-1)·day(-1)) and WPX low-dose (L-WPX, 3.75 g·kg(-1)·day(-1)) groups. After successfully establishing the GPL model, the rats were consecutively administered WPX or vitacoenzyme by gastrogavage for 10 weeks. Differential expression of Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-proteincoupled receptor 5 (Lgr5), matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7), Wnt1, Wnt3a, and β-catenin in gastric mucosal epithelial cells in all groups were immunohistochemically detected, and the images were taken and analyzed semiquantitatively by image pro plus 6.0 software.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Gastric epithelium in the model group showed significantly higher expression levels of Lgr5, MMP-7, Wnt1, Wnt3a and β-catenin than those of the control group(P<0.01). Interestingly, we also observed Lgr5+ cells, which generally located at the base of the gastric glandular unit, migrated to the luminal side of gastric epithelium with GPL. The expression levels of Lgr5, MMP-7, Wnt1, and β-catenin were all down-regulated in the L-WPX group as compared with those of both model and vitacoenzyme groups (P<0.05). A similar, but nonsignificant down-regulation in expression level of Wnt3a was noted in all WPX groups (P>0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Our findings suggested that the therapeutic mechanisms of WPX in treating GPL might be related with its inhibitory effects on the expressions of Lgr5, MMP-7, Wnt1, β-catenin and the aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway.</p>
