文摘Objective:To explore the mechanism of the action of Huoxue Huayu Lishui prescription on acute ankle joint injury.Methods:Forty-eight SPF rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,Shujin Huoluo capsule group,low,medium and high dose groups for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.The blank group was not modeled,and the other groups were modeled.Each group of 8 animals,the Shujin Huoluo capsule group was given 0.2g/ml mixed liquid by gavage,and the low,medium and high blood circulation and blood stasis Lishui prescription group was given 1.03g/ml,2.06g/ml,4.12g/ml decoction For the stomach,the normal group was given 1.5ml/100g,once a day for 1 week.The expression of NF-κB P65 and transforming growth factor kinase 1(TAK1)protein in the soft tissue around the ankle joint of rats was detected by sports protein immunoblotting method,and the mRNA expression of NF-κB P65 and TAK1 was detected by PCR technology.Results:One day after modeling,the expressions of P65 and TAK1 mRNA and protein in the model group,the positive drug group,and low,medium and high doses of Huoxue Huayu Lishui Recipe were significantly different from those of the blank control group(P<0.05).After taking the medicine for 7 days,compared with the model group,the expressions of P65 and TAK1 mRNA and protein in the Shujin Huoluo capsule group and the low,medium and high dose Huoxue Huayu Lishui Recipe group were all decreased(P<0.05).After 7 days of taking the medicine,compared with the Shujin Huoxue Capsule group,there was no difference in P65 protein in the low-dose Huoxue Huayu Lishui Recipe group.The expression of P65 protein in the middle and high groups and the Shujin Huoxue Capsule group were all decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the Shujin Huoxue Capsule group,the expressions of TAK1 protein,P65 and TAK1 mRNA in the low,medium,and high groups and the Shujin Huoxue Capsule group were all decreased(P<0.05).The results suggest that Huoxue Huayu Lishui Recipe can inhibit the expression of NF-κB P65 and TAK1 protein in ankle joint injury.Conclusion:Huoxue Huayu Lishui prescription may regulate the expression of NF-κB P65 and TAK1 in ankle joint injury of NF-κB rats,so as to improve the clinical symptoms of local swelling and pain in the ankle joint.
文摘Background:This paper investigates the mechanism of Liangxue Huayu decoction treating age-related macular degeneration through network pharmacology and clinical verification.Methods:The potential targets of Liangxue Huayu decoction were retrieved by the BATMAN-TCM database,and age-related macular degeneration-related disease targets were collected using the OMIM,GeneCards,and CTD databases.The intersection of targets for Liangxue Huayu decoction for age-related macular degeneration was performed using the online tool Venny2.1.0.Protein-protein interaction network was drawn using the String database.And core targets were obtained with the CytoNCA plugin.The gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed using the Metascape database.Finally,targets of Liangxue Huayu decoction for age-related macular degeneration were identified in clinical research.Results:In this study,832 potential action targets and 9,475 age-related macular degeneration-related disease targets were screened,and 575 intersection targets of Liangxue Huayu decoction and age-related macular degeneration were obtained.Protein-protein interaction network analysis showed that 15 core targets include chemokine 8,interleukin 1,histone deacetylase 2,estrogen receptor 2,and glutamate ionotropic receptor NMDA type subunit 1,et al.Gene ontology enrichment analysis included 2,727 biological processes,434 molecular functions,and 206 cellular components.Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis selected 107 signaling pathways.Clinical validation showed that peripheral blood chemokine 8 and interleukin 1 levels were significantly lower after age-related macular degeneration patients compared with before treatment,and the difference was statistically significant(t chemokine 8=12.684,t interleukin 1=11.405,all P<0.001).Conclusion:By treating age-related macular degeneration with multiple targets and multiple pathways,Liangxue Huayu decoction can down-regulate the expression of inflammatory factors and treat age-related macular degeneration,which provides a basis for further studying the action mechanism of regulating age-related macular degeneration.
文摘[目的]探讨健脾固肾化瘀方联合氯沙坦钾片治疗脾肾两虚夹瘀型糖尿病肾脏病(DKD)的临床疗效以及其对患者血清基质金属蛋白酶-9(MMP-9)、单核细胞趋化因子-1(MCP-1)和血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)水平的影响。[方法]选择沧州中西医结合医院2019年1月—2021年5月纳入80例脾肾两虚夹瘀型DKD患者作为研究对象,采用随机数字表法分成观察组与对照组各40例。观察组给予健脾固肾化瘀方联合氯沙坦钾片治疗,对照组单用氯沙坦钾片治疗,连续治疗12周后观察两组临床疗效。治疗前后检测受试者血糖[空腹血糖(FPG)、餐后2 h血糖(2 h PG)和糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)]、血脂[总胆固醇(TC)、三酰甘油(TG)和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)]及肾功能指标[尿微量白蛋白/尿肌酐比值(UACR)、肌酐(SCr)和尿素氮(BUN)]。选用酶联免疫吸附法测定血清MMP-9、MCP-1和VEGF水平。并统计两组不良反应情况。[结果]观察组总有效率为92.50%(37/40),较对照组72.50%(29/40)有所提高(P<0.05)。两组治疗后FPG、2 h PG和HbA1c均较治疗前降低(P<0.05),且均以观察组的改善更显著(P<0.01)。两组治疗后血清TC、TG和LDL-C浓度均较治疗前下降(P<0.05),且均以观察组的改善更显著(P<0.01)。两组治疗后UAER和血清SCr、BUN水平均较治疗前降低(P<0.05),且均以观察组的改善更显著(P<0.01)。两组治疗后血清MMP-9水平均较治疗前升高(P<0.05),血清MCP-1、VEGF浓度均较治疗前下降(P<0.05);且治疗后,观察组对血清MMP-9水平的升高作用及对血清MCP-1、VEGF水平的降低作用较对照组更显著(P<0.01)。所有患者均无明显不良反应发生。[结论]应用健脾固肾化瘀方联合氯沙坦钾片治疗脾肾两虚夹瘀型DKD能安全有效地上调患者MMP-9表达水平,下调MCP-1、VEGF表达水平,改善肾功能,整体疗效确切。
