Discussion on the clinical application of colorectal cancer based on the theory of "Tongqixiangqiu"

Objective:To explore the application of the theory of"Tongqixiangqiu"and its application in traditional Chinese medicine in order to find out the clinical application of colorectal cancer.Methods:Referring to the ancient medical works and modern literature on the theory of"Tongqixiangqiu",combined with the disease characteristics of colorectal cancer and the clinical experience of famous doctors in ancient and modern times,to explore its application in the clinical treatment of colorectal cancer.Results:The theory of"Tongqixiangqiu"has rich connotations,among which"anti-adjuvant therapy"and"lung and intestine combined treatment"are the representatives of the specific application of the theory.The methods of cold and heat counteraction,compatibility and external treatment as well as the idea of spleen deficiency and Qi stagnation type colorectal cancer pay attention to tonifying Fei qi,nourishing Fei yin,and promoting Sanjiao Qi mechanism play an important role in the differentiation and treatment of colorectal cancer in TCM.Conclusion:The theory of"Tongqixiangqiu"is widely used in the treatment of colorectal cancer,which has the advantages of significant curative effect,synergism and toxicity reduction,prolonging the survival period and improving the quality of life of patients.

Analysis of underlying mechanism of Qingchang Huashi Decoction in treating ulcerative colitis based on network pharmacology

Objective:To explore the target and signal pathway of Qingchang Huashi Decoction(QCHSD)in the treatment of ulcerative colitis(UC)by using network pharmacology,so as to explain its molecular mechanism of action in the treatment of UC from damp heat.Methods:TCMSP was used to screen the potential active components(OB≥30%,DL≥0.18)and target of QCHSD.The network of"potential active ingredients-target-disease"was constructed by using the database of TCMSP and GeneCards.Using the string platform,the protein protein interaction(PPI)network model was constructed to find the core target.Go and KEGG enrichment of potential targets were analyzed by R software.Results:The results of network analysis showed that quercetin,kaempferol,scutellarin and baicalein were the top four active ingredients in QCHSD.210 gene targets were found in QCHSD,4213 in UC.The key targets of QCHSD in treating UC included AKT1,IL-6,VEGFA,CASP3,etc.GO enrichment analysis showed that these gene targets mainly affected nuclear receptor,steroid receptor,cytokine receptor binding,cytokine activity,etc.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that AGE-RAGE signaling pathway,IL-17 signaling pathway and TNF were more abundant.Conclusion:This study describes the material basis and mechanism of QCHSD in the treatment of UC,which provides theoretical basis and research direction for future research.
